State Immigration Association
N. o. Times.D Democrat.

N. o. Times.D Democrat.
The State immigration Association,
whose headquarters is established at
,l59 Common street, is making the most
energetic efforts to promote the object
for which it was founded. Circulars
have Just been issued calling upon all
residents of Louisiana who desire to
aid in the development of the State to
support the movement in favor of i'm
migration, which has already met with
no small measure of success. 1t is sug-
gested by the officers Of the association
that every citizen cal help in this mat.
ter, by inclosing to his correspondents
all over the Union copies of these
circulars, which will be furnished to
him on application to the immigration
Bureau at the address already men
toned. Uss
aHundrecs of Northern investors"
says the circular, apply at the once OF
the association, and desire to see lists
Of lands, prices, etc.
In order to facilitate the movement,
and to give them ample opportunity
to select from every parish in the style
we earnestly request every landholder
in the State to at once forward to this
Office a description Of the land they
have for sale, with its price per acre,
it's character of soil, how many cleared
acres the land contains, and how much
and what kind of timber is on it, the
kind of agricultural productions that
flourish there, or if it is better suited
to stock raising, and how it is watered,
whether it is high and dry, or subject
to overflow, and what kind of improve
ments are On it.
Information is further solicited in
regard to churches and schools in the
neighborhood of the land, and as to its
proximity to a town, railroad, or river.
Details regarding the fencing of the
land, assessment on it, and other points
of interest to purchasers are also re-
quested and if maps or plans a be
furnished, these will be filed with the
rest of the information at the office OF
the association.
The association makes no charges
for what it does, it's services being Civ
en- gratuitously to the land owner wish
ing to dispose of a portion of his pro.
perty on the n hand, and to the in,
weston or immigrant in search Of home
on the other.
The advantages afforded to both par
ties by the establishment of the bureau
hardly need pointing out. Those who
wish to sell land will be brought, fret
Of charge, into communication will
those who wish to buy, and the latter
will have the opportunity Of studying
at the office of the association the land'
offered for sale in different portions o
the State and of deciding in wha
quarter they would prefer to inves
their money. Q
It may be fairly hoped that the es
Establishment of an immigration Bureau
conducted on such public spirited prin
ciples, will be attended by the best re
suits, and that all that Louisiana need
to place her in the front rank of pro
gress and prosperity sufficient pc
pulation to develop her resources-wil
be secured through its agency.
