 The Catholic fair which closed last Satur- day night after a session of two weeks, was eminently successful in financial point of view, netting the church $l,5OO. From the lady's gold watch $29l. was realized, Miss Nellie Wallace of East Canaan, who received the largest number of votes, being the for tunate recipient. Miss Mary Smith of Falls Village was the most prominent candidate in opposition. Some feeling of vexation was manifest by the Falls Village people who were disappointed in the defeat of their can didate, but as the utmost fairness was ob served in the contest, by the judges F. F Cleaveland and Dr. Knight, there is no room for an accusation of partiality. The bullock was drawn by William Mitchell of Ore Hill, or which $79450 was realized. The fact tha | the fair was successful is due to the energetic efforts of Father Lynch, and it must be grat l flying to him to see the coffers of the church treasury fill up so rapidly against a rainy day

OUR OAK RIDGE LETTER,

OAK RIDGE, La, Aug. 10, 80
Editor Clarion
Our town and country is il
keeping with the times we guess
Crop prospects good. A little
! too mach rain, but everything
bids fair for fine crop. Health
igood.
| Several Of our friends living
abroad visited our town this
week, viz: I. G. Brigham, D.
Todd, Z. NJ. Grant, DR.. Marable,
Of your town and his son, from
! Monroe, and others. We are
always g'at. when friends from
other towns visit us.
| Our friend, David Todd, IS
here working for the rebuilding
OF the Little Bonne Idee levee.
1.-The succeeds in this important
step TO public good, he will i'm
mortallze himself TO those bene-
fitted, Thousands of acres of
the finest lands in North Louis
lana will bow with their rich
fruit in obedience to our friend
Dave for their protection from
the overflow. I understand that
several Of our planters have sub
scribed literally to this impor-
tant work. We only need a
head and leader to put the thing
through, and [ believe we have
both i'll D. Todd. He is a wide
awake, working young man. We
hope to see our country entirely
protected from overflow. This
is a serious matter with us every
spring,
Our town is still improving. |
We now have a fine belfry about
completed at the Episcopal
church in town, which is an Or
nament we are proud OF. We
look forward for little city here
some day, not great many
years hence. The editor of the
Clarion may move down here
yet. Who knows?

The Little Bonnie Idee Leyee.

The citizens between this and
Oak Ridge are interesting them
selves in having this levee put
up. It protects about 5000 acres
of open land or. more, and will
save two bridges on the DeGal-
lion from yearly displacement,
and keep open the roads from
Oak Ridge to Monroe and Bas-
trop and Oak Ridge.
The parish ought to contribute
at least $1,000 to have this leyee
put up. It is shame to have
the fairest portion OF Morehouse
inundated yearly for want of a
levee which would cost but $1,000
over and above the subscription
already made up by the citizens
affected. The increased taxa
ton on the lands redeemed
and the protection of the most
important roads in. the parish
will fully remunerate us for the
outlay.

DIR. TANNER,
9TH WARD.

This mono-maniac, who under
u took to abstain from all food TO,
forty days, claims that he com
p'eted the task last Saturday a,
noon. His feat'was Watched by
the whole country with the most
eager interest, and, whether his
self-imposed starve was homes,
or not, he is to. day the best adj
vertised doctor in the world A
great many learned physicians
at the outset declared that Meth
es Tanner nor any other man
could live that long without food.
| Indeed, some of the best doctors
denounced his fast as O cheat be-
fore he had completed his if
teenth day. His watchers, how
ever contended that he was living
on water and air only, and. as he
became more emaciated, and as
the fierce rebellion of his swim
died stomach asserted itself more
frequently and powerfully, Tan
ner's deriders became more
thoughtful and considerable, until
now, We believe, the entire med
lcal fraternity confesses that he
did actually starve himself for
forty long, hot days.
What he has accomplished by
that period of circulating saff-
erlng is just what we do not
know. While his may have been
a total and genuine fast, it fails
to demonstrate any theory what
ever that will be of any intrinsic
worth to humanity. Nine hun
dred and ninety-nine men in
thousand would no doubt die if
subjected to the same trying or
deal through which Tanner has
Just passed. We are satisfied
That not more than one man in a
million would be willing to try it.
we are, nevertheless, glad
hat Tanner succeeded, and only
wish we could have seen him
When he got hold of that glass of
mix last Saturday. It is said
hat he proposes to spend the
days. OF October
Without any grub, a task which.
imposed upon as, would, in
eed, be "the saddest ii the
ear. |,
1t is also reported that Tanner
as made implacable enemies of
very hotel man in the country. t

justice, he sat, as stubborn as 8

rious Electoral Commission, cast
ing every vote as paid partisan.
He never stopped for a moment
to ask what the country de-
handed. Unlike Hancock, his
every public act has been made

MR.. DOSS REPLIES,

| sitlce III your columns to anSwe
the democratic protest. of the
delegates of Ward 6, to the recen
parish convention.
AS chairman pro TEN. of the con
yention | feel personally assailed il
the charge that the committee On
credentials was appointed in the in
terest. of one candidate. | den,
the charge as being false. A list
OF names of delegates was handed
me, who were supposed to favor
one of the contesting delegations
from ward 4, and l was asked to
appoint them on the committee on
credentials. But | exercised my
own Judgment, and did not appoint
all of them, as l can prove by COM
pairing the list handed me with the
list OF committee appointed.
The three protesting Democrats
are in error as to there being eight
King men on the committee on
credentials. There were seven for
King, one for Richardson, and one
anti-King and anti-Ri chardson,
There were nine of the ten wards
entitled to representation on the
committee, (ward 4 being contest
ed); seven out of the nine wards
sent solid King delegations to the
convention; one sent solid Rich
ardson delegation; and one sent
one for Richardson, two for King,
and six opposed to both Richardson
and King. EOn motion the chair
was requested to appoint commit
tee ON credentials-one from each
of the 8 wards.
Now, when the chair came to the
Z solid King wards, how could it do |
otherwisethan appoint Z King men ? !
When it came to the solid Richard |
son ward how could it do otherwise |
than appoint Richardson man?
When it came to the ward that was
represented by three factions, did
it not exercise proper Judgment in
a gentleman who repre-
'ented the larger of the three fac
ions?
AS to the unprecedented and
andemocratic' action of the con-
Tention in rejecting the resolution
n favor of the thirds rule, and
n instructing it's delegates as to
and in not selecting it's
delegates to the Monroe conven-
ion from each ward respectively, [
an say that l have been resident
+ this parish six years. and | know
hat no parish convention has ever
tempted to instruct its delegates
or the two-thirds rule during that
lme. | know that the parish con-
ention instructed it's delegates to :
he congressional convention two
ears ago for Judge r. B. Todd. s
know that ward 8, (of which | t
m a resident) has never been rep
scented in a congressional Or sena-
,rial convention since | have been
resident of the parish. Still, no
has ever been heard t
ON her. She cares not who rep-
SCENTS her in our district conven- t
ons, provided they are true and 7
led Democrats. t
They say, eve only make the V
'otest to call the attention of our
llow-citizens to the conduct of
cir delegates in the convention. r
l thank you, gentlemen, in behalf :
a large majority of the delegates q
said convention for calling the
tention of their constituents to D
cir manly action. A majority of 81
e delegates in said convention c.
IRE elected as KING MEN. i leave o.
with those familiar with the &C G.
m of said convention to say i
lether or not, those instructed q,
ng delegates carried out, in good "
lth, the will and wishes of their
nstituents. W. L. DOSS.
