TIE last naEled bill caused consider.
able discussion. Some of the mem
bers claimed that the burial should
have been done by the Overseer of the
Poor of the ward, where the man died.
Mr.. Slough explained that the man
was to have been taken to the Aims
House, when he died, and was there
fore county charge. Some of the
other members of the Board thought
the county could not be he'd liable
until a person is brought into the in
sti.utiop. The motion to pay the bill
was lost, and it was referred back to
the Overseer of the Poor.

Before taking up the bills for drunks,

already been over drawn, and he re
commended that 5000 of the incidental
appropriation be transferred to cover
the bills and it was SO ordered.

After the bills we're disposed of the
Board adjomrned uutil two o'clock.
At twelve O'Clock Steward Tomlin-
son iavited the Freeholders to dinner,
and the long tables in the big banquet
hall was quickly filled. Rev. 8. W.
Beach, of the First Presbyterian
Church sat at the head of the table
and asked blessing. The busy walters
then brought bountiful supplies OF
turkey, stewed chicken, roast beef,
salads, etc. 1t was asumptuous banquet
and reflected great credit upon Mrs.
Tomlinson and her able corp OF assist
ants. Ice cream, splendid cakes, gela-
tin, jellies, etc, were served as dessert
A second table was nearly filed.
After dinner the Freeholders put a
"Perfecto" between their teeth and
sauntered aboui the farm and through
the big institution. ALI the inmates
were found delightfully."- quartered and
enjoying themselves under the circum.
stances surrounding their lives. The
house was in splendid order and the
inmates who were approached con-
cerning the bouse, spoke in the high.
est terms of the steward and Mrs.
Tomlinson.
1t seemed difficult for the members
to leave the pleasure of roaming about
the place and again settle down to
business. 1t was considerably after
two o'clock when the afternoon roll
was called.
Mr.. Whitaker brought up the mat
ter of the bill of Pierce y CARL, for the
burial of q Second ward pauper, and
moved to reconsider the action, and II
was so ordered.
Mr.. White then moved that Mr..
Slough be made committee to ask
an opinion of County Solicitor Nixon
concerning the legality Of the bill,
and the Board so decreed.
DIR. Thompson then called the atten.
ton of the Board to a very peculiar
case. Little Bert Borden, formerly oil
