To onr Friends and Patrons.

We wish to call the attention of the friends
and pRtrons of the COURIER to the necessity
Of their being on the alert, in the matter OF
judicial publications, tsheriffs sales especial
ly1 as neglect on their part to give positive
instructions as to where they desire such
advertisement published, is apt to result in
our being deprived of the patronage that
would otherwise be given TO rs. The sheriff
of this parish has been making himself es.
pecially Jealous in the matter of securing
sherifTs sales fer the paper of which he is
director and stakeholder, and several publica-
tions Of that nature have appeared IN that
paper which the parties interested wouid
have selected to be done in the COURIER, had
they been consulted and others have been
diverted from us at the special solicitation Of
the sheriff or his deputies serving the papers
III the matter Of seizures.
To those who prefer to patroDize any other
paper in this parish we have no desire to in
terfere with their preferences, bnt our friends
who wish to favor us with their patronage
are earnestly requested to see that the proper
officers are instructed to have the publication
done in the CoURIER-and they are especially
warned against allowing themselves to be in
duced to consent that the advertisement
should be done in some other paper.

Justice Courts.

On this subject our Alexandria con
frere says:
Ifjustices of the peace in Louisiana
had authority to try and dispose of con
cealed weapon cases, petty larceny, as
sault and battery and like charges,
whilesthe witnesses are fully cognizant
of all the facts, it would be great i'm
proyement over the present law. At
present Louisiana justices of the peace
can only examine charges for the pur
pose of fixing bonds, but in order to
learn whether persons as charged by
affidavit are guilty or not, witnesses
must be summoned and examined just
MS if the case was decided for all the
time.
We believe that in justice courts the
facts of guilt or Innocence of accused
are more prominently brought out than
| in the distlict courts, because the cases
are tried soon after their committal and
the witnesses have not had time to for
get the circumstances.
Another thing is, that many times
especially with eolored people, they tell
the truth before the justice courts, but
before the district court meets and 8
grand jury examines the cases, the ac-
cused has made up with the witnesses
against him and they are perfectly ig-
norant of any knowledge of the case.
IF Justices could try and dispose OF all
the petty criminal cases, it wonld save
thousand of dollars to the parishes an
nually, and the laws wonld be better
enforced. We actually believe that the
fines which could be collected would
pay the expenses of the justice courts
and if those persons convicted and mol
able to pay their fines were made to dc
road work, under superintendent PAID
for the purpose by the parish, that the
roads of this rs well as all parishes il
the State, could be kept in splendid
condition.
! Town Talk hopes our aw-makerI
will look into this matter and give the
parishes some relief from the present
nonsensicai and expensive method o
diaposing Of petty criminal cases.
