steward of the poor farm, taking pos
session today. This is a responsible
position and very difficult to fill to the
entire satisfaction of the public but we
think Nate will be able to so conduct
the affairs of the farm so that it will
be an ideal place and possibly be self
supporting. Thos. Davis, the retiring
steward, moves to the ID. p. Repass
place in the north part of town which
he has purchased and where he expects

days past and gone. Lewis people
will find them good neighbors, courte-
Gus and obliging: honest and upright
and worthy of the respect and conf
dence of all.
