THE INMATES OF THE POOR HOUSE HAVE A GOOD
 HOME.
UNDER GOOD MANAGEMENT
The House is Well Ventilated and Has Ten Acres of
 Ground Surrounding It

Our reporter sought an interview with County Judge Jones Thursday morning concerning the poor house, which is under his supervision. Being an institution kept by the pubic, and for those who have be- come disabled or unable to take care of themselves, information relative to the work being done at that home for the poor will be interesting to many who do not know that there is such place within our confines Judge Jones submitted the follow ing to our reporter to show, as he says, ''the work that these poor people have been doing aud the par Tor of comfort they make out of place that is taken supposedly by greatly many to be surrounded by chilly walls and gloomy windows. It is under tae management of Mir. and Mrs. J. H. Hammill, who are under the direction of County Judge Jones.
 Fifteen people are now in the poor house. The building is we'll yenti llatel. The rooms are kept clean and neat; there is an iron bedstead to each room and the water is of tue purest kind; one of the best wells in the county is the reservoir from which they receive their drinks. They have a beautiful garden at tended only by the patients therein and taken care of by them. Each patient is a farmer. to certain de- gree. They raised last year every thing that was had in the way Of vegetables, including beans, peas, okra, cabbage, tomatoes, potatoes etc.
 The inmates Of each room are their own servants. When sick they are attended by the county physi- ciar, pr. Noel. Several have gone there poor and decrepid and are now roaming about the streets while some are at work. They have their horse and wagon. The horse does. tbe ploughing and comes to town for articles needed by the manage ment there for the inmates. They have their own COW and furnish themselves with their own milk and butter.
 There are 10 acres of land sur rounding the poor house, all enclos- ed by a substa tial wire fence.
