Bastrop can certainly boast of
two very superior barbers. One of
them is rather dark and the other
rattier darker. They seem to be
t-i'v congenial. One is a little deaî
jut very fond of whiskey and a
keen razor, which he handles very
dextrously. The other is an ex
pounder of the gospel, as under
stood by the Baptist sect, and also
has no objection to a leetle sweet
ened toddy. The biblical membet
of the firm owns a revolving brush
mich he manipulates • with a self
satisfactory dexterity that is truly
refreshing to the craniums of his
customers. AN e advise e\erjbody
that desires to spend half an hour
in rich luxury to seat himself on
one of the soft chairs of the Bas
trop barber shop. If you long for
a scriptual lecture, try George ;
if you want a miscellaneous explan
ation of everything, give Gus the
preference.

Mr. Joseph Levy left Wednes
day for the Crescent City to buy a

merchandise for the mammoth brick

he is half owner; and when lie

and polite to all, he is energetic and
popular, and we predict for him
big success. Our readers will hear
from him again shortly through our

Capt. Bunckley, member from the

whether or not the parish tax can

10-mill tax. We have an excellent

A stranger to us from some re

been called to town by the officers
of the law, stepped up to our table
last Wednesday and wanted to
know what we were writing. We
politely informed him that we were
manufacturing "matter" for the
Clarion, and asked him if he was
not a subscriber to the paper. He
said he was not, but that he bor
rowed his brother's paper occasion
ally, but had never seen a Copy that
in any way rrsembled the sinuous
hyeroglyphics that marked the in
offensive sheet on our table. The
man, we think, actually went away
thinking that we had lied to him as
to what we were scribbling. Some
people are so incredulous, anyhow.

Last week Messrs. Oehlber &
Goldman announced, under the
above heading, the arrival of their
mammoth stock of Fall and Winter
clothing. This week they desire to
again remind the readers of this
paper—those who need clothing—
that now is is the time to get bar
gains. Their stock is excellent.
They have the latest styles and
beautiful goods and all sizes.
They have also made a speciality
of boots and shoes, bought at one
of the largest factories in Boston,
and in the selection of which . the
ladies were not forgotten. Indeed,
it is doubtful whether any house in
Bastrop ever had a.larger or better
stock of ladies shoes.
Dr. C. G. Andrews, the learned
President of Centenary College, has
been spending several days in town
this week. He is here in the inter
est of his College, and we are glad
to know that his visit to our parish
has been very gratifying. Persons
who desire giving their sons a col
legiate course cannot put them un
der au abler tutor than this distin
guished Southern educator. He
preached an excellent sermon at
tho Methodist Church last Sunday.

Prof. K. T. Catlett, of Clinton,
La., whose card may be found in
this week's Clarion, will open a
first-class school at the College next
Monday. While he is a stranger to
our people, he comes amongst us
highly recommended by the first
men of East Feliciana parish. We
find him to be sociable, affable and
pleasant. May he succeed ia es
tablishing a bio school in Bastrop.

While some movers were passing
along the road near town one day
last week, a little boy fell out of
the wagon, the wheels passing over
the little fellow's breast, injuring
him severely if not fatally.
By some hook or crook, the
Clarion got no mail yesterday—not
even a postal card. We protest
against being neglected in any such
way. Some one will please see that
we get at least a circular hereafter.

making this assertion.
