We are indebted to A. d. La
fargue, our new State Superinten-
dent of Public Education, for the
biennial report of Col. Jack, the
late superintendent, to the General
Assembly, for the years 1890 and
1891. The report is comprehensive
and exhaustive, giving not only
the reports of the various parish
superintendent, relative to the
number of schools, teachers, etc,
but also the reports of the parish
treasurers, showing the financial
condition of each parish. In
Grant parish in 1890 the total
amount received for school purpo-
ses was 1886 35. In 1891 it was
So, 1913 68. For 1892, owing to sale
of school lands and other increase
Grant parish will have her school
funds still further augmented.

Death of Col. l.. L. Polk.

Col. L. L. Polk, President Of the
Farmers Alliance, died at Garfield
hospital, in the City of Washing
ton. d. c., at IL: 25 a. M, Saturday,
June IL, 1892.
Col. Polk was relative OF Pres
ident Polk. He was native OF
North Carolina, where he was born
about fifty-five years ago. His ed
ucation was received in the COM
mon schools. During the war he
served for a time in the Confeder-
ate army and resigned to go to the
Legislature, to which body he had
been elected. Later, he filled for
several years the Office of Commits
sioner of Agriculture for North
Carolina, and later still he began
the publication of the Progressive
Farmer, which he managed for a
long time.
At the time of his death he was
serving his third term as president
of the body to which he has given
SO much of his time and attention.
Col. Folks home was at Raleigh,
N. C. He leaves wife and three
children. He was of great value
to his party as stump speaker,
and was an able writer on the topic
of particular interest to the farmer.
The Peoples party will meet in
convention in Omaha in about a
month, and the probability is that
had Col. Polk survived he would
have been nominated for President
or Vice President of the party,
should they have decided to put
ticket in the field. His remains
were taken to Raleigh, n. c., fol
interment.
