FINAL NOTICE.

ALEX. L. MCDONALD, the old ex-
Judge of Probate, is very desirous to
collect his out standing fees of office.
1t is not altogether that he truly wants
them, but that he actually needs them.
He has been waiting patiently with
people year after year, crop after crop,
and with some on broken promises until
he has ultimately come to the conclu-
sion that long continued and protracted
indulgence ceases to bear the appellatioiu
of being termed virtue. Personally,
I will be on DeKalb Street until the
last of November next. All or any in
arrears with me for fees can call and
settle their respective dues by cash, or
if cash be not Immediately at command,
by giving negotiable note for short
season. All my accounts not settled
by the last of November, I will place
them in the hands of legal officials for
collection.
