The first poor house of Lee county
was located about two and one-half

one-half mile west of what was known
as the Everhart place, then known as
the Everhart Hotel. Just east OF that
IS a cemetey, which was known at
that time as the Everhart graveyard
and still goes by that name.
The Lee county officials bought the
farm with a two-story house on 1T. OF
Wilson Skinner, who was appointed
as superintendent of the poor house
and farm and held that position for
several years. At that time there
were but very few intimates to care

~ VIC SOINCuAi0u,
The Blessed Suffragette leaned out
Ger the reading-desk at even:
The speech she had prepared would
take
From eight until eleven.
She had two white gloves on her
hands,,
And pins in her hat were seven.
Her robe. designed by Madame Rose,
Hand-wrought flowers did adorn;
And superb black chiffon coat
Was very neatly worn.
And the chains that hung around her
throat
Were yellower than corn.
81 wish that we could vote, dear ones!
For we will VOTE she said
"Have not on the finest gown
That Madame Rose has made?
Are not good clothes perfect
strength,
And shall I feel afraid?"
She plumed and rustled and then
spoke
Less sad of speech than wild.
She shouted gentle arguments
That couldn't harm a child;
And in terms quite acidulous
The Ants she reviled.
| saw her smile--but soon her smile
Was turned to naughty sneers;
She thought she saw another gown
More beautiful than hers!
She raised her lorgnon to her eyes
Then wept Ct heard her tears!)
