To OUR PATRoSs.-We have now
|in operation in our Office one Of Hoes Mailing
Machines, by which each and every one Of our
subscribers can see just how his subscription
account stands. Many no doubt have hereto
fore neglected payment for the reason that they
did not know just how long they owed for, but the
figures Immediately following each printed ad-
dress gives every one the information. For in
stance, emo, Smith ijan7i', indicates that his
subscription is paid until the first day Of January,
1874. We hope subscribers who are owing US
for several years--as great majority Of them do
will take occasion to either call at our Office or
send us at least part, II not nl Of their indebt
edness, at an early time. Tho coming January
court will afford good opportunity for many to
send US money who may not be in town them
sclves. Panic or no panic, we have to pay out a
certain amount Of money each week, and we hope
our subscribers will be little more prompt in the
future than in the past.
We also have great many unsettled accounts
for job printing and advertising which we desire
to have settled some time before the day Of resur-
recton. lN m

DEATH OF JASPER NEWTON, ESQ,

The tolling bell on Thursday sum-
moned large concoursc Of relatives
and friends to follow to his last rest
ing place the remains Of Jasper New
ton, Esq. Few men raised and adj
vanced to mature manhood in this
community have been called away by
death and left behind them so fair
and spotless record as Mr.. Newton.
Noted in his youth for marked habits
of study and obedience, his ripper years
fslflled the promise of his youth and
as a citizen, soldier, attorney, neigh
Dor, son, father and husband, he per-
formed his whole duty. Mr.. Newton,
after being admitted to the Bar, set
tied at Rayville, where he acquired
large and growing practice, and bad
endeared himself to all when failing
health induced him to return to his
native hills. He remained here a
short time and left temporarily for
some springs in Texas in search Of
rest and health. Receiving no bene-
ft and conscious of his approaching
end, he started home, anxious no
doubt, to take farewell look at those
at home, dearer to him than life
Providence decreed otherwise, and he
was compelled to relinquish his jour.
ney towards home and his journey Of
life when four miles this side Of Mon
roe. His death causes additional
sadness from this fact-to die so near
and yet so far from the loved ones at
home. The entrance to the Dark
Valley is robbed of some of its ter
rors when the eye rests on fond, ia
miliar faces, and the throbbing fore
head is pressed by loving hands,
The bliss OF lifelong years is COM
pressed into these parting moments,
and though saddened by approaching
dissolution, is inexpressibly dear to
the manly soul. Only q few months
have passed since this community
mourned the loss of Mr.. Newton'S
father, a man of eminent virtue and Of
the same profession. Father and son
now sleep side by side in the silent
grave. Death is ever solemn, but in
this case it is clothed with unusual
solemnity.-[North La. Republican.
