was suggested that the county
buy farm to be used by tie
inmates of the poorhouse. G.. c.
Marshall of Purdy informs US
that he has a farm of 1876 acres
on the Selmer and Stantonville
road which would be a desirable
place for such use. There is an
abundant supply of good water,
houses, barns, and timber and
stone sufficient for all practical
purposes. There is also land up
on which can be grown enough
of the commodities of life to
make the place self-sustaining,
a fine apple orchard, and many
other things which Mr.. Marshall
says would be of much benefit to
the county, and the farm could
be bought for a reasonable price.
