DIED-At his mothers residence, between
Washington and Opelousas, on the l4th inst
after a short illness, COLLINS G. BAILEY. at
the age of 90 years Ii months and Is days.
He leaves as special mourners mother, one
brother and two sisters; but with them, and
for him. mourn large circle of friends, who
have known him through childhood and
youth up to young manhood; to whom he had
become endeared by his moral life, kindly
disposition and friendly offices.
Death loves shining mark Seldom has this
adage been more strikingly exemplified than
in the death of Collins C. Baily. Cut~down
Just mt the threshhold of life he lacked but a
few days of his majority. He had lived long
enough to endear himself to large circle OF
friends, and give promise of an honest and
useful life, but neither the love of friends nor
mans claim in his future, could stay the
I scythe of death.
| Collins is gone, and has left vacant place
iu many loving hearts, that no other image
will ever fill.

We have been asked the question
more than once recently " What is the
Clarion's politics y and we must ad
NIT we give it up perhaps the Clarion
will solve the problem and define its
position for the benefit of those inter
ested.
We may say, however, that while 4
close perusal of it's columns might have
led some to infer that it was q third
party organ, it published the Demo-
cratic ticket last week. There is no
telling what it will do next week.

The Clarion does not "get up" tax sales;
that is not its business.
The above is sample of the Clarion's
cheek. We are under the impression
that the Clarion was furnished with a
list of delinquent tax payers, each
name of which has a number attached
but which the Clarion uneeremoniously
left ont; also, if we mistake not, the
copy furnished by the tax colle3tor's
Office gave the total amount of taxes
due by each tax payer which the
Clarion has omitted to insert; also
| that the notice of each delinquent tax
payer states that the interest and costs
| are also due by the delinquent, and yet
not one of the advertisements claims
interest aud COSTS; the only mention
of that important item appears once in
| the preface, and once in the closing
paragraph of advertisement. Does the
Clarion think that the collectors of
| fee included all the above mentioned
details in the sales (which the Clarion
| didn't s'get up') just for fun : at least
we happen to know that when Mr.
Goodwin had the printing of the tax
sales the same officials who made out
these lists included all these items and
insisted that all should appear in the
paper just as they were written out
As a consequence three or four lines
were required for each delinquent
while under the Clarion's "style," two
only are required, occasionally three
We offered some timo ago 60 publish
these sales for so cents each. expecting
to publish them as Mr.. Goodwin did
To publish them as the Clarion is doing
ne will charge only 25 cents.
