six colored and three white. All ap-
pear to be in their usual, but feeble,
condition One Mr. McMarlin, white
man, was stationed with us on Decem-
Der 31st After investigation, l find
him to be man of 81 years of age,
fisherman by trade, and hailing from
the state of New York. He is in a pitt
full condition, suffering from ulcer, or
cancer. From the information | can
ascertain from him, he is not citizen
Of Marion county, and it is really not
the duty of the commissioners to care
for him.

quite a live to their duties, and are
doing all that could be reasonably ex
pected of them for the care and com
fort of those intrusted to their care.
