The incoming" crowd of maidens
fair and gallant youths are on the verge
of serious and long-continued misun
derstanding. It is 4 financial question
that IS involved; whether It's best to
spend or not TO spend; or rather wheth-
er the fair ones should not bea" half
the monetary outlay requisite and nee
esSarv TO the happy hours in mutual
intercourse. Leap year, it Is maintain
ed, puts different phase on the mat
ter. But its none OF our qua el; we
know nothing of the facts and do not
care to get tangled up in the dispute.
Boys. the financial question is one that
should receive early consideration.
About five years ago. a family of
paupers named Vols, from an adjOin-
ing county, landed in Iront0n. and,
through the eXe"tionS of two or three
per-philanthropical persons, were in
duced TO take up thei" quarters pe,ma-
y
charge upon the community. and have
been SO ever since. The county court
was applied TO for reiiCt. and when that
body properly refused to accede TO the
request. on the ground that the Vols
were non ,esidents and that Iron coun
ty had her hands iull in taking care OF
her own poor. the charitable persons
above referred to svstemati, ally Went
TO work TO provide for them until the
legal period had elapsed Wen the court
would be compelled TO contribute. A
shanty was put up. and the hily
lodged therein, and The Elm t-4ey reside
10 this day. The court having provid-
ed poor farm FOR her indigeuts, and
the Vols refusing to take up the =
quarters there. they have subsisted D
begging and stealing. In the mean |
time, those who fOiSted them upon the |
community have long since sought
their fortunes in other laud~. leaving |
the home people to hold She bag. " !
When the REGISTER at the time pro- |
tested against the mistaken "chari.y
which gave the undesi able legacy. it |
was overwhelmed (almost) with ;ndig- |
nant rcbu Acs by the .'saIted " co:erie !
which bequeaihcd the harden 10 The |
community. We are 70 o iheee re-
marks by occurrence, .sl 70 al our
citizens. For months p. houses have |
been entered and articles pu.'oiued;
The streets are the paradc-ground 0; the
Voils-the family consists of man and |
wife. daughter, son. and an infant
and begging is their daily avocatiOn.
Their shanty has been the resort OF
characters, and Is a stencil |
in the nostrils of the neighborhood.
