TOWNS POOR FARM KEEPER REFUSES TO VACATE
FOR SUCCESSOR UNTIL LMARcH-'FoRLoRN BUNCH
MAKES MERRy-WoMAN FOUND DEAD IN HER
ROOM.

II has been demonstrated that a trip
'over the hills to the poor house" some-
times is hard and rocky one. not only
for those who through misfortune are
Obliged TO make IL but 10 those who have
been chosen TO manage the affairs OF
towns poor farm, and this demonstra-
ton came yesterday whine the Rev. q. w.
Robley OF Johnston. who was recently
elected overseer Of the poor, notified Mr..
James Nichols, the present keeper OF the
farm, that he must vacate the premises
by Nov. %, TO make room for his success
sor.
Mr.. Robley was in the most gentleman
iy manner Informed by Mr.. Nichols that
he, Mr. Nichols, had been engaged by the
town OF Johnston as keeper OF the poor
farm. for a term OF one year and that
! the poor farm year did not end until
the last day of March and that Mr.. Mich
OILS did. not intend to move unless other
wise ordered by the courts.
| Until that date he said, the town had
made proper terms with him. There are
! those who say that the person elected 10
the position of overseer of the poor In
| that town cannot hold the position of
keeper OF the poor farm and, in fact, the
only town In the state which these con-
dtions exist in is at Tiverton.
Mr.. Nichols appears TO be quite willing
TO abide by the mandates OF his fellow
! citizens, but does not think that he is
entitled to hold his position for the full
/ term TO which he has been elected, 80
long as he has attended to his duties
properly.
