The Delta and the Serenades
Love at first sight is said to be violent but short
lived feeling. The Delta's sudden love of Mr.
CLAY really puts blush our soberer, calmer, and
somewhat longer admiration and support. In 1914,
when these Jealous converts were electoneering
for Polk and Dallas, we were among the most in
dustrious advocates Of Mr.. Clay. Bus now the
Delta outstrips us in the race of adulation. We
are content to be distanced But while we yield
the field Of battle without CONTEST why ask more
The Delta attachment degenerates into intolerance.
A word or two will we hope, make our friend
happy" by assuring him Of his mistake. We
copy the following editorial from that paper of yes

We are surprised that the editors should have
made themselves miserable, by any report which
appeared in the "locals" of the Crescent. The
,yarmsst friends Of Mr.. Clay, not connected with
the press, may not understand the difference
between the opinions Of the editor, and the para
graphs of the local reporter, but surely our neigh
bors are familiar with the distinct nature of the two

Such was the language used by the Crescent,
previous to Mr.. Clay's arrival. We have not been
disposed to fill our columns with attery, especially
during his presence here.

both of those notices, had we been requested to
do So But we do consider this particular mode OF
showing respec to Mr.. Clay, as not altogether the
most suitable. Many of the admirers of the old
