PAUPERs.-I. ocated ut the confluence
of two great rivers, and with five rail-
roads ccntcring here, Cairo is the recep-
tacle OF an undue proportion OF tramps
and paupers and as a consequence the
county poor.housc has heretofore been
constantly crowded with paupers, three
iourths of whom have not the slightest
claim to support or charity at the hands
of our citizens. la this connection We
take pleasure in giving our readers the
following item OF news on this subject.
County Commissioner Summons has
charge OF the poor farm, and as will be
seen from his letter. don't propose to
harbor "paupcrs who are able 10 travel"
EpIroI BULLETIN The expense of
maintaining the palpcrs OF this county,
Is an item for the serious consideration Of
tax payers. Please allow me 10 give
them some light on the subject through
the BULLETIN.
We have lcsscned the expense OF mo
dical attendance on paupers considerably.
This has been done by paying for scrvl-
ccs actually rcndercd-the saving
amounting to about $40 u quarter, or
Sl60 per year.
When took charge of the poor farm
| found twenty'six persons being sup
ported ut cost to the county OF about
$3.50 per month. OF the tweniy-siN l
discharged all but nine. aud they are old
citizens who will probably .Gemaln with
us for life, My intention is to keep no
plupcr who Is able to travel about the
place. Yours, respectfully,
Gro. W. SAMMoNs,
