The county fathers have at last taken the
very important step of purchasing a poor
farm. We have long been an advocate OF
having some place within our own county
for caring for the INDECENT and poor, instead
of sending them to Helena, and we still be-
lieve it is the only true course to pursue. 1t
is to thei interest of every county to build up
its own institutions, and it is certainly
human to have a nice, comfortable home tor
those who, on account of sickness, misfor'
tune, etc, are compelled to accept aims at
the hands of the people. The farm purchased
was that of Robert Coburn, a 16o-acre tract
for which 5000 was paid.-Husbandman.
