TO our Friends and Patrons.

We wish to call the attention Of the friends
and patrons of the COURIER to the necessity y
of their being on the alert, in the matter OF
judicial publications, (sheriff's sales especial
ly), as a 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 u.s. The sheriff
of this parish has been making himself es
pecally Jealous in the matter Of securing
sheriff's sales for the paper Of which he is
director and stockholder, and several puhlica.
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 aud others have been
diverted from US at the speciai solicitation OF
the sheriff or his deputies serving the papers
in the matter of seizures.
To those who prefer to patrunize amy other
paper in this parish we have desire TO i'll
terfere with their preferences, but our friends
who wisl, to favor with their patronage
are earnestly requested to see that the proper
officers are instructed to have the publication
done in the CoURIER--and they especially
warned against allowing themselves to be in
iuced to consent that the advertisement
should be done in some other paper.

appurtenances and implements of each in
order to save labor, time and expense. The
political change III the administration of gov

Inventors who intiust their business to this
class OF attorneys do 90 at an imminent risk,
