the ftud joy of the Suprnat C«ut

12 or 15 old shacks of beds with old
ragged, comiron straw oMtreue.
with old pieces of boank for ipiiagi;'
and Ml a pair of springs did 1 fri
I foand fire or six old pieces of chair*
for the poor old souls to sit ia. the'
remainder of the chairs wot wade of I
fire wood and old hexes. The qmtm

If there is anything i- -be nrU ;
that I most highly respect, it b these
poor, old and helpless pe« pic who'

them to go to the Coua-y Heme m ■
their old and feeble condition.
Now. as to the cemlitiea of tfcr \
Heme. I again say that it is a shame
and a disgrace to the rooaty. With the
thou»aads and hundreds of theaiaadi
of dollars we are spending for rood
road.- and good school* and iarioß»
other things it certainly looks as if'
we could spend enough to baOd a ,
