LEGAL ADvERTIsEMENTs.-A many per
sons do not understand the law regarding
the requirements for le sal advertising, we
will state that administrators Or others who
have occasion to do any kind Of advertising,
to comply with the law, are entitled to 'oec
es' rates Non usual, which are faced by idsv,
and such notices can legally be inserted in
ana paper within the limits of the parish.
It matters not what paper may be awarded
the printing for the Police Jury, at the low
est bid, that does not constitute it the of1ic-
ial journal for anything beyond that bods's
publications. Hence, advertisers being
free to make their own choice, would best
serve their interests by publishing in pa
per long established and having large
circulation Persons in other parishes ard
States oftentimes are.induced to come and
make bids Oh property, when they thus see
the advertisement in widely circulated
paper. It costs the advertiser or succession
no more than in paper with the smallest
circulation, and serves them great deal
better-SugNr-B OUi.
