and took quarters at the St. Charlel
Hotel.
Mr.. Lewis is a vigorous and irtelli.
gent looking gentleman, rather above
medium height, somewhat stoutly
built, with dark eyes and dark hair
much streaked with gray, aud full
beard with silver ripples running low
upon his breast. His manner is frank
Ind cordial and he makes pleasing
Impression on those who meet him
The prospective Congressman was
born in the parish of St. Landry in
1884, and is not only to the
manner born Lou:siauian, bu,
is the son of a native of the State, and
the grandson Of Hou. Seth Lewis, who
was appointed to the State judiciary
ny Gov. Claiborne, the first of the
American Governors of Louisiana
Mr. Lewis WAS educated at KENYON
College in Ohio, and married there.
Returning to Louisiana from school
lie read law and soon came to the bar
practlcIng in Rapides and St. Landry
parishes. Taking an active part in
politics, but RETAINING from entering
the arena of public life, Mr.. Lewis
quietly pursued his profession until
the breaking out of the wal between

teered in Dreaux's Louisiana Battal-
ion, serving in it for a year when lie
joined the Second Louisiana Cavalry
and became Captain of Company G

eddy to himself for at the time he was
bsent from the Parish-to the State

ut he resigned the position the fol-
wing year, returning to the practice
law. He subsequently removed to
t. Landry parish, where he has since
esided, becoming a leading member

Dunced Democrat, but with no public +,
cord, he goes INTO the arena of na-
onal politics with the confidence of .
e entire party in his district, aud

A SKETCH OF COLONEL POLK

Col. Polk is between fifty.one and
fifty-two years of age. His father
was Marsh T. Polk, q lawyer of
North Carolina, who died young and
before the family moved to Tennes-
see. Col. Polk was graduate Of
West Point, and rendered efficient
service for four years on the frontier.
At the outbreak of the war he enter
ed the artillery branch Of the Con-
federate army. At the battle of Shi-
lob be was captain of artillery In
Cheatham's division, and it that
sanguinary engagement was severely
wounded, losing leg. He was cap
tured and carried to Evansville, but
at the request of Mrs. Ex. President
Polk and as and act of courtesy to
that lady, the Federal authorities
permitted his removal to relatives in
Nashville. On his recovery in 1868,
he was exchanged and re-entered the
Confederate service, the Federal au.
thorities again waving formalities
and permitting him to pass directly
through the lines. He Was assigned
to staff duty under Gen. Leonidas
Polk in 1853, becoming chief Of ar
tillery. with the rank of lieutenant
colonel. He served under Gen. Polk
in the department Of Mississippi, and
later when the general joined Gen.
johnson in Georgia. Throughout
the war bis conduct was marked bv
distinguished bravery, ability and
efficient service. When peace was
proclaimed, be became a farmer, re-
siding on property owned by his
wife, near Bolivar. Until elected
State treasurer, six years ago, Col.
Polk had never held public Office.
He was nephew Of ex-President
Polk and fourth cousin OF Bishop
Folk. An interesting fact that
may be mentioned. is the peculiar.
provision in President Polk's will,
that the Polk property in this city
should be left, at Mrs. Poke death,
20 the most deserving nephew. For
years 1t has been foregone conclu-
sion that Col. Polk would fall heir
% this property.
Col. Polk was man Of courtly
manners, we'll fitted to sustain the
Ugh position in society to which
'is family connections entitled him.
de has q large family, than whom
one stand higher or occupy a warm
= place in the affections of q wide
ircIe Of friends in this city.
