JUDICIAL NOTICES.
District Court, Parish of ST. Landry No. 1896
Mary Tirzah Jackson, Wife, ps Barneu A,
Boyle, Husband

This is suit by plaintiff for Il separation
of property, a dissolution of the community
OF acquets and gains existing heretofore be-
tween her and her said husband, coupled
with demand for authority to control and
administer her seperate estate and affairs
tree from the control and interference of her
husband and with all the power of "femme
sole"
The defendant filed an answer admitting
the marriage, but denying all the other claims
and demands of plaintiff. On these issues
the case was taken up and tried.
The evidence justifes the demands of plain
tilt. The proof establishes the insolvency of
the husband, and the serious disorder of his
affairs, and further shows that the plaintiff
has property and means of her own, and that
she is prepared to successfully carry on a
separate industry of her own, if the earnings
of this business are secured against the exist
ing debts OF the husband. For these reasons
aud because OF the law and the evidence are
in favor of the demands of plaintiff, and
against the defendant it is ordered and ad-
judged and decreed that plaintiff be and ia
hereby judicially separated in property from
her said husband, the community of acauets
and gains heretofore existing between them
is hereby dissolved, and plaintiff is restored
TO separate control and administration of her
separate estate, which she is hereby author
lied to administer and control in all respects
as II 'femme SOLE" 1t is further ordered
be taxed.

To our Friends and Patrons.

We wish to call the attention of the friends
and patrons of the COURIER to the necessity
of their being on the alert, in the matter of
judicial publications, lsheriff's sales especial
ly), as a neglect or 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 us. The sheriff
of this parish has been making himself es-
peeially jealous in the matter of securing
sheriffs sales for the paper of which be is
director and stockholder, and several publica-
tions of that nature have appeared in that
paper which the parties interested would
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 bis deputies serving the papers
in the matter Of seizures
To those who prefer to patropize any other
paper in this parish we have no desire to in
terfere with their preferences, but 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 CoURlER-and they are especially
warned against allowing themselves to be iu-
iuced to consent that the advertisement
should be done in some other paper.

teeming with practical suggestion. Mr.

when he said that if, as foreshadow-d
by the last news from Congress, the
