the Poor House Pre-
sented and Dis
cussed.
A Number Of Warrants Allowed
and Routine Business
Transacted.

The county court met yesterday, pur
suant to adjournment, all of the Justice
present.
The most important, as we'll as the mos
interesting matter before the court wa
the petition presented, signes
by large number of citizens, requestin,
that the county poor house be removed t.
some point nearer the city. The commit.
tee in charge of the petition consisted Of
DR.. Conkwright and Revs. Duncan, Nesbit
and Jackson.
DR.. C0nkwright acted as chairman Of
the committee, and addressed the court on
the subject in few well-timed remarks.
Major Gentry, presiding Justice, on be-
half of the court, replied TO the petitioners.
Judge Gentry said that there were a grea,
many things to be considered in connec-
tlon with the change proposed by the yeti.
TONERS which they had perhaps not fully
considered. The point made in the petit
tiOn, that if the poor house was nearer the
city it could receive the supervision
OF the ministers and other christian
and philanthrOpic people. was we'll
taken; but, on the other hand, the present
location of the porr house relieved the
city from all responsibility and taxation,
making the county alone reliable for the
proper conduct of the institution.
The judge referred to former efforts to
change the location of the poor house and
the obstacles presented in the shape of the
remOnstrances of property owners where
was proposed to locate the
aims house. In conclusion he
thanked the committee for the interest the
citizens had taken i'm the matter and prom.
ised that il should receive the most careful
consideration of the court
