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 judi
cial publications, tsheriffs sales especially as
q ne. lect on their part to give positive instruc-
lions as to where they desire such advertise
ment published, is apt to result in our being
deprived Of the patronage that would other
wise be given to us. The g. eriff of this parish
has been making himself especially jealous in
the matter of securing sherif's sales for the
paper of which he is director and stakeholder,
and several publications OF that nature have
appeared in that paper which the parties inter-
ested would have selected to be done in the
COURIER, had they been consulted; and others
have been diverted from us at the special soil
citation 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 ave 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 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.
