POOR HOUSE COMMUTERS REPORT.
To the Honorable County Court of
Franklin county-We, the Committee
on Poor House, beg leave to make the
following report: That we have exam
ined the allowances for paupers for the
year 1880, and find that there was al
lowed for paupers the sum of 81 ,2l3.oo,
and we think it will be fully that
amount, or be increased, the coming
year. We have communicated with
Lincoln county, and, from all the lntor'
nation ON the subject, think it advisable
to purchase II farm suitable for that
purpose. We therefore recommend
Luke Kelley's farm, ON the west side Of
Elk river, 81 miles from Winchester,
containing 100 acres, with good build.
ings and barns, under good fence and
tolerably well timbercd, supplied with
good water, and considered healthy
place. Can be bought for 1900, pay
ments in one, two and three years, with
out interest. Convenient to mills,
schools and churches.
