COUNTY HOME AND WORK HOUSE.

Two deaths have occurred at the
County Home this week. Jim Rynum,
n paralytic and idiotic colored man,
about sixty five years old, died Tues
day night. He had been at the instltu-
tion some two years, and required a
great deal Of care Wednesday MORN
ing Anderson Mangum, colored, died.
lie claimed to be l04 years old and
was taken to the home Monday last
from the residence of Miss Pattie
Mangum. on Flat river. Anderson was
very old, being able to relate incidents
and occurrences that transpired in the
olden tines The health of the other
inmates is said to be very good
The county authorities have leased
good big farm. and the work house
force is being utilized in ditching the
bottoms and cleaning up. A couple of
weeks longer will be necessary to fin
ish this work, when road work will
begin With an average year in yield
enough corn. fodder, shucks. etc, to
supply the demands Of the two institu-
tons viii be raised which will be
vast saving to the county.
There has been talk that III. d. Leigh,
the present superintendent Of the
county home and work house. would
decline reelection Mt the close of his
present term. Should such step be
in contemplation, every good citizen Of
Durham county ought TO interest him
self to prevent it, The affairs of these
institutions have been so admirably
managed under his direction that the
county cannot well afford TO lose his
services. It is position that but few
men can fill as it ought to be
