soliciting agint.
G. A. Pettrkin wants 500 bales
cotton for a special purpose, for
which he will pay cash on the spot,
A little sheet, printed with the
pen and called "The Sponge" made
its appearance at the City Drug
Store last Sunday morning. The
editor, who is ashamed of Iiis posi
tion, inasmuch as be suppresses Iiis
name, affects to be exquisitely
witty, and sticks Iiis finger into
everybody's business but his own
simply becanse he has none of his
own. We must inform the man
with "spongy" propensities, how
ever, that if "literary" characters
are the only dangers to which the
Clarion is exposed on the sidewalk,
that it will never be molested by the
editorial corps of "The Sponge."
Our security is insured by the
"literary" status of the first num
ber of that would-be spicy intrude«.
Our young friend, Sam Wolff,
and his brother have purchased the
commodious store of Messrs Wolff
& Silbernagel, of this town, and in
tend to "keep the ball rolling" after
the same polite style which charac
terized their predecessors. The
business will be carried on in the
firm name of S. Wolff & Bro. Wlnle
we are not acquainted with his
brother, we know Sam to be a clear
headed and deserving young man,
and we bespeak for them that pat
ronage so liberally given by the
public to the Messrs. Wolff & Sil
bernagel.
The many patrons and friends of
Messrs. Wolff & Silbernagel will
regret to learn that they have retired
from business in Bastrop. They
are both live and accommodating
business men, and energetic and
public-spirited citizens. It is their
purpose to embark in the wholesale
grocery business in the Mound City.
While we deplore their removal
from this town, we wish them un
bounded success in St. Louis.
Messrs. Sinister & Silbernagel in
form us that they are purchasing
their dry goods in New York and
their groceries in St. Louis for
CASH. Their stock will he here
on the 25th inst., and they will open
on the 1st of February. Mr.
Schuster is known all over the par
ish for his polite and obliging busi
ness qualifications, and Sam is "a
whole team" when he gets "hitched
in." Two such men are bound to
succeed in Bastrop.
Certain parties have been for
3 *ears flooding the country with im
mense packs of horse and cattle
powders which are utterly worth
less. Don't be deceived by them.
Sheridan's powders are the only
kind now known in this country
which are strictly pure. They are
very powerful.
If we could speak in tones of
thunder we would use our voice to
advise all people everywhere to get
at, once a bottle of Johnson's Ano
dyne Liniment. As a preventative
of diphtheria, pneumonia, conges
tion, and all dangerous throat and
lung diseases its value is priceless.
The colored people of the parish
are in a better condition financially
than they have been sine« the war.
The majority of them are out of
debt and have plenty money to buy
the little extras and delicacies which
everybody so much likes.to have.
From $45 to $27,50.
I have reduced sewing machines
with two drawers and drop leaf to
the very low price of $27.50.
Cheaper styles for $25. It is better
than you can do in Monroe, and in
many other places besides.

Go to Leon Ger
son, of Monroe. La

If you want to eat, buy a stove
of Handy for $22.50. If you want
to ride $77.50 will buy a buggy at
the same place.
Whose busted again ? Whv,
Peterkin, the great cheap cash man
has busted the extortionate prices
in Bastrop.
2 Al open buggies, lazy-back,
etc., at Handy's $77 50 each; old
price $125.
You can buy pants at Peterkin's
for $1 per pair.
Heller & Turner sells heavy

Now if we had an "opinion" it
Vfouid be this—that the Senti
nel's opinion of English grammar
is very faulty, What is your
"opiuion" of the above sentence,
anyhow, Mr. Sentinel ?
A CAED.
It has been reported that a num
ber of persons have been in the
habit of leaving here and visiting
Monroe to buy their cash goods
thinking that they could get tletter
prices for cotton and buy goods
cheaper. To all such I would say
that if the}' will bring me their cot
ton I will pay Monroe prices in
cash for same and will duplicate
Monroe hills in anything they need.
I will do much better in some lines.
Try it. J. S. Handy.

Ward's plantation, in this parish,
7,450 pounds of lint cotton on 12
acres of land. This is over 1 <1
bales. Such farming as that will
make people rich and happy. Mr.
Ward offers the plantation on which
that cotton grew for sah; at very
Prof. Catlicart lias again resumed
his labors at the College with en
couraging prospects. If the pet
pie will give him that support which
he, as an educator, deserves, the
Professor proposes to purchase the
college and establish a permanent
High School.
Capt. Hodge informs us that he
will be at the Point next Sunday
witli his beautiful new boat, and
wants his friends, one and all, to
go down and see the finest boat
that ever plowed the waters of the
Bartholomew. We are told that
she is a perfect "daisy."
Mr; W. S. Smith, of Cincinnati,
Ohio, is visiting Iiis parents, Mr.
and Mrs. B. W. Smith, of this par
ish. He has been gone some five
or six years, and his many old
friends are glad to sec him back,
looking so well.
We take special pride in calling
the attention of the public to the
advertisement of Mr. W. K. Hen
derson, who makes good lumber
and sells it at low figures. Read
his, card.
The "Clara S.," and "Willie"
rooted their noses into the bank of
the bayou at Pt. Pleasant this week.
The Willie brought a big freight,
and took off a good load of cotton.
Mr. E. W. Ross says people are
marrying in this parish at the rate
o? "forty miles an hour." A good
omen for a populous country.
Whoop 'em up, Boss.
You will always' find the ladies
buying at Peterkins. Why ? Be
cause the ladies k<^p posted in
styles and prices.
NOTICE—I will pay the.cash at
a small discount, for claims against
the parish, good notes, city ac
ceptances, etc. J. S. HANDY.
Why is it that they all go to Pe
terkin, the great cheap cash man ?
From the fact that he means to sell
cheaper than the cheapest.
We are glad to see .J. Vaughan,
Esq., who has been seriously ill, on
the streets again. He is nearly as
thin as Salt Lake City tramps.
Did you buy an over-coat this
winter? If not, don't. "Jeminy
Criminy," as Capt. Dunn says,
ain't it hot !
Another large stock of goods
next week will be received by
T. O. Le :vel & Co.
