rTNhe publishers of the NEW ORLEANS
TIMES wish especially at this Time tnat
every citizen of the State should be suDscrio-
or or reader Of the TINES. Questions u Inc
greatest Importance to Louisiana are pen1lng
waiting solution. A convention OF hef oeie
gates are now in session drafting an organic
law for adoption to replace the present consul
tutiun. and which it is hoped will radically re-
form those fearful abuses. wastetui extraVa
gancies and gross iniustices which nave oeen
nurtured by it and have grown up uhuer ~:
The subject of restrictive quarantine as so1s
efficacy in preventing the introduction OF the
scourge of yellow fever and Its acknowledged
bliahtinv effects upon the business ana pros
perity Of the city of New Orleans and the
State, is now engrossihg to large extent pup
lie attention. Other vital questions, sucn Is
labor, immigration, railroad communications
with our n.ighboring State of Texas, removal
of the State capital etc, demand constant con-
sideration and discussion. -,
The publishers of the TINES refer with PRIDE
to the position taken by the TIMES on all OF
these questions. Their inspiring motive mas
been the good of the State and her people, Tor
upon her prosperity, development and growth
depend their Compensation and reward. from
no other source can they expect to suDserVe
these ends.
The thorough independence ofthe TINES ITS
strength, courage and consistency IN the us
cussion OF all questions. its indefatigabie and
persistent labors to restore the woDted pros.
perity of the South, have made 1t recognise0
throughout the country as the leading south
ern journal and made it quoted everywhere as
the representative of the best Southern
thought and opinion. ....
The publishers wish that copy may be
| placed in the hands of every citizen OF this
State, that he may judge by perusal OF It's
merits of its consistency, of its motive.
| As newspaper giving ALL the NEWS OF the
| day; as "a commercial paper, showing all the
movements of business and commerce, as an
organ OF the people, representing and con
serving their best and highest interests, they

Quick WORK.-Already Captain
Joseph Boisseau has settled with
the insurance companies, had plans
drawn for the rebuilding of his
houses, and let out the contracts to
builders, who commenced work yes
terday with large number of hands
and will have the whole completed
by the first of September. Captain
Joe takes just pride in having given
the contracts exclusively to home
men.
When completed the buildings
will not only be an ornament to the
city but, will be very convenient to
tenants. The corner store occupied
by Mr.. Soape will be shortened to
100 feet-a uniform depth with the
other four. In the rear of these
stores will be space of ten feet
The woodwork has been awarded to
Stoner & Waring, the brickwork to
Tom Jordan, the tinwork to F. Mar.
tel and the painting to N. s. Allen.
Another building, to be used by
Koran 4 Looney as hide house,
will be erected which will front 40
feet on Milan street and run back
100 feet. Koran & Looney will oc'
cupy the third store from the corner
for their harness and saddlery bust.
ness. The contract for this building
has been awarded to the same par
ties as the others, except that Ton

assume that the mill was running,

Capt. Dick Vinson, whose places
are something over mile down the
river, informed us last night that he
had a fine cotton season at the time
we had only a light shower here
His cotton is doing finely and also
the corn on Shreve Island, though
the corn on the Bossier side is very
Indifferent.
Weare gratified to learn that good
rains have fallen in portions of Bos-
star and Webster parishes and also
in some localities in Caddo. No
amount of rain, however, could save
the corn crops in this parish. If the
entire parish, including the bottom
lands. averages ten bushels to the
acre we will be alike gratifed and
surprised. There are hundreds o.
acres that will not make peck tt

seen and heard.-Skreveport Times

An U~ndeniabIe Truth,

You deserve to suffer, and if you lead
a miserable, unsatisfactory life in this
beautiful world, it is entirely your own
fault and there is only one excuse for
you,-your unreasonable prejudice and
,kepticism, which his killed thousands.
Personal knowledge and common
sense reasoning will soon show you
that Greene's August Flower will cure
you of liver complaint or dyspepsia,
with all its miserable effects, such as
headache, palpitation of the heart, eour
stomach, habitual costiveness, dizziness
of the head, nervous prostration, low
spirits, sc. It's sales now reach every
town on the Western Continent and
not a Druggist but will tell you of its
wonderful cures. You can buy a SAM
pie bottle for 10 cents. Three doses
sill relieve you.

Pretty, ana Possibly rrne

A pretty story is told in st. Peters
burg. A government functionary liy.
Ing in the outskirts of tho capital
died a few days ago of utter deslitu
tion, leaYing behind him, m~otherless
and without friends or relations, two
little children, one a boy of 7 and the
other a girl of 8. Left in the house
alone, without money or food, tn e
boy did not know what to do to get
bread for his sister. AT last, urged
by the little ones tears, he wrote on
a peace of paper, "Please, God, send
me three cOpecks "a penny to buy
my little sister a roll" and went to
the nearest church to slip it in an
aims box, believing, in his simplicity,
that his prayer woald reach heaven
through this medium. A priest pass
ing by observed the child on tip-tOe
trying to thrust the paper in, and,
taking the paper from him read tie
message. Returning home with the
child, he took the little ones to his
house and gave them the food and
clothing they so much needed. The
following Sunday he preached a SER
mon on charity, in which he referred
to the incident, and aftcrward went
round the church with a plate. When
the offerings were counted it was
found that the congregation had
given 1900 rodbles, or nearly $1,000.
