A CRYING EVIL.

The next Legislature OF Mississip-
pi II not composed of set of old
draw backs, should pass q law re-
quiripg all legal advertising to be
inserted in some newspaper. Near
ly all other States except this have
such laws. and it is only due the
newspapers, which work for the
advancement and best interests OF
the State, that they should not be
cheated out of this, the best source
of their revenue, by the penurious'
ness of few back number legislar
tors. The ends of the law are not
attained when notice of sale, a
mortgage sale, a trustee sale, or any
form Of legal advertising which it
is necessary for the public to know,
is stuck up, on two or three bulle.
tin boards, and q panel of fence
decorated with one or two copies,
just to reach within tho letter, but
lodging the spirit of the law. Ev'
cry paper IN Mississippi should
combine and raise such a howl over
this flagrsnt injustice that the next
legislature will be compelled to
recognize their claims in this re-
gard. The newspapers are the peo'
ple's watch-dogs, and the slight re.
muneration they would receive in
the shape Of a few hundred dollars
in legal advertising would not be-
gin to pay them for what they do.-

"If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the
publisher may continue to send
them until arrearages are paid.
If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub.
fishers, and their paper ia sent to
the former place they are held re-
sponsible.
The courts have decided that re.
fuslng to take periodicals from Of.
fee before removing and leaving q
them uDcalled for is prima facia
evidence of intentional fraud.
If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice to
the publisher at the expiration of
their time if they do not wish to
continue taking it; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send it
on and subscribers will be respon.
sible until an express order to dis
continue the paper with payment
of all Is sent 10 the publisher.
Publishers of newspapers can
under law, arrest any man for
fraud who takes newspaper and
refuses 10 pay for it. Under this
