condition as could DO expected with
the limited means and accommoda-
tions furnished the keeper. Found
seven inmates, three of whom are
insane. Two small children and their
mother, whose husband is in the
county jail. There is no way to keep
males and females separate, and we
recommend the building Of q seperate
house for the males. But think it
also to the interest OF Greene coun-
ty to sell the farm and fnd some
other way to care for paupers. The
amount paid for caring for the in
mates of the home is not sufficient to
do any more than keep them living,
and leaves no profit to the keeper.
The farm we fLd to be q very poor
one, out of repair and yearly getting
poorer, instead of better. We also
find that some of the inmates have
friends who are able to care for
them, and rcccmm end that If any
way car be found to compel them
to do SO it should be done. Now you
can plainly see that the Judge has
ignored the recommendations by
different bodies whose business it is
tc see after the county's interests,
and has persisted in keeping up a
house. II such a one was IN the
corporate limits Of Paragould it
would be declared nuisance and
done away with on short notice.

"A Representative Of the Drought
Stricken Districts is Here.
Z. FL. Walker, citizen Of Jackson
township, Sharp county, is in the
city soliciting funds for the relief Of
his people, who are IN the midst CT
the drought-stricken district. Mr..
Walker informs US that nearly all
the townships<in that portion of the
county where the people are in dis
tress have selected representative
to solicit aid ard that in some in
stances the solicitors have been sue
cessful in securing very liberal do
nations. Mr.. Walker says that so
far as he is individually concerned
he needs no help, but that there are
in his township about sixty families
that are in dire distress. He says he
has helped them as far as his means
will admit of and that he has been
helping to feed several families
around him that were destitute on
account Of making no crop last year
At recent meeting of the board
Of trade the matter was taken up and
a subscription started. The SUBJ
scription now amounts to about 500
and is on deposit. This amount
ought to be increased to about 5000.
Mr.. Walker will remain in tie city
two or three days and a meeting Of
the board will be called Monday to
further consider the matter. Mr..
Walker bears credentials that show
him to be alright and be has request
ed his bank at Hardy to write the
secretary OF the board about the
matter.
Paragould should take action in q
way characteristic of the philan-
thropy and liberality of our people.

"Analyzed" His wife.

A negro went into Mr.. E's Of
flee for the purpose Of instituting a
divorce against his wife. Mr.. E..
proceeded to question him as to his
grounds for complaint. Noticingthat
the mans voice failed him, Mr.. E.
looked up from his papers, and saw
that big tears were running over the
cheeks Of the applicant for divorce.
"Why," said the lawyer, "you seem
to care great deal foryourwife. Did
you love her?" Glove her, sir? I
jest analyzed her!" This was more
than professional dignity could with
