Commissioners Visit County Farm

On last Saturday the board of
county commissioners made an
official inspection of the county
poor farm and the work of it's su-
pervis;on, and from all reports
things out there are not in as sat
lsfactory shape as the public might
demand if the institution was held
up for inspection by those who pay
taxes for its support. 1t is a poor
farm IN fact as we'll as in name.
The 100 acres of land comprising
this homelv retreat for the fallen
victims of the Gear of Juggernaut"
is unkempt as a potters' field, there
Is no water, excepting that pumped
from a we'll in a clay bed, and the
water here is really unfit for use.
The fences are out of repair, farm
lands are not titled to their full
value, the fruit trees are not prop
erly cared for, and the buildings
for housing the stock are hardly
worthy the name.
The Is paupers, most of whom
have seen days of luxurious thrift,
are not pleased with their home
which is two-story frame building
bereft of the dash of paint that
prlmed its walls in it's first DAYS:
the furniture is racked the beds are
dirty, and the clothing of the men,
IN many cases. by reason of filth, is
unfit for use. There is nothing in
vltlng about the place, not even
the menu, served in one greasy
course upon a rickety board table
covered with oilcloth. On the cover
OF the porch the shingles have been
loesened and blown off by the wind.
Out in the barn lot were three
valuable horses torn and BLEEDING
about the legs from contact with
barbed wire extravagantly and
carelessly strung upon the fences
and to add despair to the picture
