TO LOUISIANIANS.

The publishers of the NEW ORLEANS
TIMES wish especially at this time that
every citizen OF this State should be sub
scriber or reader of the TIMES. Questions
of the greatest Importance to Louisiana
are pending waiting solution. A conven-
ton of her delegates is now in session
drafting an organic law for adoption to
replace the present constitution, and
| which it is hoped will radically reform
those fearful abuses, wasteful extravagan.
cies and gross iniustiees which have been
nurtured by it and have grown up under
it. The snbject of restrictive quarantine as
20 its efficacy in preventing the introdue-
tion Of the seourge Of yellow fever and its
| Acknowledged blighted effects upon the
business and prosperity of the city of New
Orleans and the State, is now engrossing to
q large extent public attention. Other vital
questions, such as labor, immigration, rail
road communications with our neighborlng
State of Texas, removal Of the State capI-
tai. ETC.. demand constant consideration
and discussion.
The publishers of the TIMES, refer with
pride to the position taken by the TIMES
on oil of these questions. Their inspiring
motive has been the good OF the State and
her people. for upon her prosperity, devel-
opment and growth depend their compen-
sation and reward From no.other source
can they expect 10 subserve these ends.
The thorough independence of the TIMES.
Its strength, courage and consistency in
the discussion OF all questions, its indefatl
gable and persistent labors to restore the
wonted prosperity of the South, have made
it recognized throughout the country as
the leading Southern journal and made it
quoted everywhere as the representative
of the best Southern thought and opinion.
The publishers wish that a copy may be
placed in the hands of every citizen in this
State. that he may judge by perusai. OF its
merits, of its consistency, of its motive.
As a newspaper giving ALL the NEWS of
the day as co nercial paper, showing
all the movements OF business AMI com
merce as an organ of the people. represen
ting and conserving their best and highest
interests, they claim the TIMES to be with
out rival in the South.
To meet the general shrinkag ge in values,
the subscription price of the TIMES has
been materially reduced. The TIMES ldally,
seven papers d week. will be sent hereafter
at the rate of fSi2per annum. and the Week
ly TINES at the rate of 81 per annum, pos
tage prepaid.
Copies of the TIMES, either Daily or
Weekly, gladly sent heeSas specimens to
any person who desires to examine the
same.
We ask every reader to give the TINES a
trial. We are making it a PAPER worthy OF
support. And we know if the reader once
tries it he will continue a subscriber.
The Daily will be sent on trial one month
for 81, and the Weekly three months for
SO cents.

gistered letter or draft. 8fsass s

returns of the fever in the future?"
II know of no way, unless it be to
burn the town down-yellow fever,
germs and ALL"
In the opening of the interview the
doctor represents to the reporter that
he is awaiting the return of his wife,
who is now on the sea on her way
back from Europe, and as soon as he
places his wife in comfortable quarters

the scOurge at his home. So much
the worse for Memphis.
