Among our announcements this week

friends is candidate for clerk of the

and well balanced young man, who has
been in Grant parish for the past six
years, having been employed most of the
time by the Big Creek Lumber Co., at
Pollock, and for the past year with the

Mr.. O'Quinn is probably the most suit
able aud best equipped man for clerk in
the parish. being fine penman and ex-
pert stenographer, and having a good
education and a very general knowledge
Of business, which enables him to turn
out the best Of work with rapidity.
He was born IN Texas, and came to
this State while associated with the Iron
Mountain r. r. Co., and has held uumer-
'us positions in this State with different
Failroad companies. He is distant rel

hat the people will never have cause to
egret their selection.

A political STRAW" that shows
which way the wind blows, is COM
munication in a late issue Of the Winn-
field Sentinel, from r. j. Carroll, who
advocates that the Populists "drop
the Peoples Party question and fall
in line with the Jackson Democrats. !"
The editor Of the Sentinel very mod
estly disclaif1s that Mr.. Carroll repre-
sents his editorial expression, but he
evidently looks at the proposition as
a feasible and natural thing for some
folks to do, if they lean that way.

The Discussion Bearing Fruit.

The discussion Bearing Fruit.
The committee appointed by tn,
police jury to investigate the parish
treasurer's books, were in session 9
couple OF days this week. The com
mittee is composed of Messrs. C. H
Teal, &C. Watson and W. B. Garrett
and we learn that they think it will
take them several days yet to com.
plete their examination.
BY referring to the proceedings oil
the school board it will be seen that
Clerk W. L. Shackelford has given an
order Tor the treasurer to transfer
1852 of the parish funds to the public
school fund, on account of polls de-
Quoted, and about which there has
been so much controversy.
There is good deal of red tape
flourish about the transaction. How
ever, it is better done late than never.
Now let the fines and other matters
we have noted be ordered transferred
to the school fund, by any sort of red
tape process that may be preferred,
and wewill be satisfied with the result
OF our criticisms. This will, of course,
put the parish somewhat behind e.
nancially, as the money has already
been enormously expended, but it
will put the school fund in pretty fair
shape.
Also, by referring to the report of
the school funds in this issue, our
readers will see where the treasurer
has charged himself with $40 rs, and
added IS 45 interest, being 8 per cent
interest on same for * years, that
being the length of time the school
board committee report hatamount
to be past due. we don't know that
any bodyis demanding interest from
the treasurer for failure to pay the
school fund what properly belonged
in it, but since the subject of interest
Is volunteered by the treasurer, what
e the matter with his paying interest |
On that 1852 whenever he puts it in |
the school fund? Or, indeed, upon |
any and all other amounts that he |
has failed or delayed to place where
t belonged?

The police jury did good act last
week in appropriating $50 to the
Soldiers Home in New Orleans This
institution is mainly supported by
State and parish appropriations. No
charity appeals stronger for aid than
the old Confederate soldiers, whose
declining days may be eased of the
pangs Of poverty in this deserving in
stitution.
