The man who receives the appoint
ment as superintendent of the county
poor farm viii not be getting a snap.
according TO Newton Brumfield. pres
ent head of the institution. Mr.. Brum-
field has been superintendent OF the
county infrmary for three and one
half years. He says that If he had
known as much about the job when il
was rendered him as he does now. he
would not have taken II.
The superintendent of the insti
tuition has hard bunch to deal with, ~
said Mr. Brumfield. 1T is impossible
to make the inmates work unless you
put two men to each person. They
won't even care for their own per
sonal belongings None of them will
clean their own cuspidores, unless
they are compelled to do so.
Want Peeled Potatoes.
IF they are given potatoes with the
Jackets on for dinner, will they eat
them? No much. If some one will
skin them they'will eat them heart
lily You would think that all the
superintendent has to do is to look
after their needs. He has to be on
the eternal lookout to keep them from
wandering away. listen TO their lam
entations, bear stories and complaints
all for $700 a year with his house rent
and provisions thrown in. And when
the year is over he will find that he
is no better off than if he had been
working at days wages"

Review of Accomplishments
of Retiring Pastor Highly
Complimentary.

4 highly complimentary review of
the work of the Rev. Samuel W.
Traum, of the First Christian church,
whose resignation is effective January
/, is contained in a year book which
is being issued Closing a historical
sketch of the church, it is said of
Mr.. Traum that during his pastorate
the church has fourished better than
ever before.
1t is said he remained as pastor of
the church more than twice as long
as any other preacher since the con-
gregation was organized in 1853. He
accepted the pastorate January l, 1907.
Mr.. Traums work with this con-
gregation will close at the end of the
year, but its influence undoubtedly
will long remain" the sketch reads.
While Rev. Traum has not accepted
a called, he has several places under
consideration. The board of trustees
and the deacons of the church are con-
sidering the Rev. ". S. Round, of Ar
cola, Ill, a former class mate of Rev.
Traum, as the successor of the retir-
ing pastor.
