 tions of that important war. 



Since then, the Picayune lias been conducted by many able and often 

 distinguished men, constantly improving its excellent qualities as a news- 

 pnpei', and always growing in influence and ability to represent and work for 

 the people of New Orleans, of Louisiana, and of the South, until under its 

 present proprietors, Mrs. E. J. Nicholson and Col. George Nicholson, it has 

 reached the summit of journalism and is the leading paper in the great 

 Southwest. 



A A'olume could be filled with accounts of the Picayune's enterprise in 

 getting news, from tlie time of the Alexican war down to the present, but what 

 has been said will suffice. Its complete offices of publication containing the 

 most improved machinery and perfect appliances which science has provided 

 for the production of newspapers and its able and skilled corps of thinkers 

 and workers, combine to make it what it is, one of the great American dailies 

 and the chief of all the journals of the Southwest.
