Poor Farm Report for Month Of April,
1908
To the Hon. Board County Commits
sioners:
I beg TO submit the following as my
report Of the County Poor Farm for
the Month Of April:
The inmates are twelve in all, four
Of whites and eight Of colored, and
their health seems TO be good except
that Of the old lady, Mrs. Johnson,
white, and old man Tom, colored, who
are very feeble, the result Of old age.
One more accession to the family
OF Supt. Priest is that Of a fine girl
baby, born on the 14th Of April
There having been no rain of any
consequence since February, the crops
are suffering. Dat crop is now being
harvested and giving fairly good re-
suits. Corn and penders and other
crops very promising under the cir
cOmstances. I recommend that some
additional buildings be erected on the
Farm, and that the Board refuse to
contribute TO paupers outside the
farm, except in the very
that Supt Priest be called before the
Board TO make a statement as to the
Destitute condition and suffering OF
the two families, towit: Sims and
Horn, who now live near Kendrick.
