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, tsheritfs sales especial
ly), as a neglect OH fheir part 10 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-
pecially Jealous in the matter of securing
sheriffs sales for the paper of which he 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 his deputies serving the papers
in the matter of seizures.
To those who prefer to patronize any other
paper in this parish we nave no desire to in
terfere with their preferences, but our friends
