Commissioners to Buy Farm

Ben Hill county's commissioners
have at last decided to purchase a
tract of land to establish county
farm. The commissioners propose
to purchase parcel of land some
where near the center of the coun-
ty, if such can be had at reasonable
figures, aud will establish on same
permanent camp for the county
convicts and perhaps in time built
suitable buildings to care and
maintain the indingent poor at the
same place. The step is in line
with good business policy, as the
feed stuff annually purchased by
the county for the convicts and the
live stock, amounts to thousands
of dollars, which could all be rails
ed on the county's own farm.
Notice for bids for tract of land
appear in another column of this
issue of the Leader Enterprise.
