SALE OF COUNTY POOR FARM.

(According to proclamation of the
County Commissioners the people of
the county will be called on next Tues
day to state whether or not they desire
to have the present County Poor Farm
sold. The Commissioners give two
reasons for believing that it should be
sold. First, the buildings are altOgeth-
er inadequate and if the present farm
is retained, new buildings will be prac-
tically necessity. Second, the pres
ent farm is not as centrally located as
it should be. Their idea is that the
present farm should be sold and anotl,-
er and better one bought, probably in
the neighborhood of LaHarpe, upon
which buildings should be erected that
would admit of the male and female
inmates being separately
The REGISTER has not had time to
give this matter much consideration,
but it has thorough confidence in the
business Judgment Of oar board of
county commissioners, and if they
think the change should be made, it is
prepared to acquicsce. We do not con-
slider it matter of much Importance
where the farm is located, so far as that
is concerned; but it Is no doubt true
that the buildings are inadequate and
poorly arranged, and it would probab-
ly be cheaper in the long run to begin
anew than to attempt to cobble up the
old house. AS the county grows older
and increases in population the num-
Der of paupers will naturally increase
and added provisions must be made
for maintaining them. We believe
the time will come when the present
farm will have to be exchanged for a
larger and more productive one. The
Commissioners think it is already here.
It is for the people to decide.
