E ditor C larion —I most heartily
approve of the efforts you are mak
ing to build up the interests of our
town. More especially do I com
mend your article which strikes a
back-handed blow at our Town
Council because of the condition of
our side-walks. Now to make your
labor less, and mine more brief,
suppose we ask, without further
ado, those members who are not
willing to repair the side-walks, to
resign and we will then elect in
their stead others with larger views.
A T ax- P ayer and M erchant.
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.
Sight or time drafts on New Or
leans or elsewhere cashed by J. S.
Handy at a small discount.
A shot-gun controversy* arose be
tween a Mr. Roberts and a Mr.
McDowell, of the 10th Ward, last
Monday, and the argument used on
both sides was of the "knock-down"
kind. It is thought McDowell will
die. Roberts is said to have acted
oil the defensive.
NOTICE—I will pay the cash at
a small discount, for claims against
the parish, good notes, city ac
ceptances, etc. J. S. HANDY.
It is a dangerous thing to neglect
a cough or cold or any difficulty of
the throat or lungs. Lose not a
moment in getting a bottle of John
son's Anodyne Liniment. You can
rely upon it to cure yoil# It is also
a sure preventative of dipththeria.
2 Al open buggies, lazy-back,
etc., at Handy's $77 oO each; old
price $125.
G. A. Peterkin wants 500 - bales
cotton for a fc special purpose, for
which he will pay cash on the spot.
We advise every fanner or stock
raiser to invest in Sheridan's Cav
alry Condition Powders and feed
them out to their herds this winter.
Depend upon it it will pay big in
terest. Don't buy the large packs
as some of them are worthless.

At the Methodist Church.
The Rev. J M. McK«e preach
ed his first sermon iu Bastrop at
the Methodist Church laet Sun
day at 11 o'clock. He had i
Urge and attentive audience,
whom he entertained and in
structed with marked ability for
one hour. Mr. McKee is a fluent
talker, a close reasoner, a search
ing preacher. Iu the pulpit he
is easy, graceful, and dignified.
His gesticulations and intona
tions are free from that frantic,
hand-spike .slashing of the lists
and «.hat boisteious, deafening
logomachy of the voice »•hioh
usually make such a promiuent
feauture of Methodist pulpit or
atory.
His subject Was this pointed
aud peisoual interrogatory fiom
the prophecy of Jeremiah:
"Whatjiave I done?'' Consider
ing the fact that w« have just
shaken the hand of the old year,
and entered upon the duties of
a new, the test was very happilj
appropriate: It is now that peo
ple who reflect retrospect the
past. They review neglected
opportunities. Those who do so
form résolutions to reform—to
be better t men. The preacher
knew this, and availed himself
of the propitious occasion to
point out the duties of men and
women, and especially the duties
of thosejwho haveijespoused the
cause of Christianity.
Said he: "The man who lives
a drone in the great hive of the
christian church, who drags his
life away iu slothful idleness^
ueglectingjto do^the work given
him by the Master, who simply
commits no fUgraut sin, but
carelessly omits his duty, is a
condemned sinner in the eyes of
Jehovah. To be religious re
quires work—work, work. Re
ligio«! means work. The attain
ment of salvation is worth a
thousand years of work. Hence
the importance of the terse ques
tion. 'What bave I done?'"
The whole sermon was one of
deep thought—- impressive, in
structive aud entertaining. We
predict for Mr. McKee a suc
cessful year's labor in the cause
which he seems to have so much
Ht heart. There is much room
for nigral improvement among
the people of Bastrop, and what
they need is a man who will
boldly aud fearlêssly tell them
of their evil deeds. We shall
look forward with interest for
the pulpit efforts of the Rev. J.
M. McKee.
A CARD.
It lias 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 better
prices for cotton and buy goods
cheaper. To all such I would say
that if they Will bring me théir cot
ton I will pay Monroe prices in
cash for same and will duplicate
Monroe bills in anything they need.
I will do much better in some Unes.
Try it. J. S. H andy.
