THE COUNTY FARM. | —* •• COMFORT »M> HAPPINESS AKE ABUNDANT THEBE. Tht' Will IXohKe Gravel Pit 'l'ii rn« Loonie a Good tirade <>l Gravel A and Lots of 11. The county infirmary wiw haunted today. Superintendent Graber of that institution drove into town Friday morning, ipesmer.zed Commissioners Brake, Hobroke and Eekrote, Will 11-sse the gravel king, Dr. J. Q. Neptune, A. Holthouse and a Democrat representative, afterwards finding room for them in the county’s new road wagon, and headed them towards the scenes of the south. The gravel pit on the Bosse farm was first inspected, and surprises were greater wfieu it became self evident that it was real. The gravel is a first class article, good and even better than is used in the average gravel road Tne gravel lay within two feet of the ground, and will be easy and inexpensive to open up. Its average depth is from three and a halt to live feet. Just how far it expands is not known, but it is safe to predict that it is no infant aff'aii and that gravel in good paying quantities is there and can be gotten for the asking and the price. There is no use to talk about com mon ordinary mud roads now. \V< have gravel, why not have bettei roads. After a thorough inspection of the gravel the tourists took :. header for the county farm, when we found Mrs. Graber up to her eyes in work, looking after th> many cares that arise from th< thirty-one inmates there confined Many of them are helpless and cat not take proper care of themselves even. They are all carefully looked after by the superintendent and wife, who allow nothing, n matter how trival, to pass by unnoticed, Their bed looms am bedding fairly shine with cleanli ness, and every one of the inmatewere praise amplove for the many kindnesses devot ed to them by those in charge. It -would be a waste of words for us to try to compliment Superintendent Graber and wife for their devotion and care of this institution The paltry sum they receive-fm the work, anxiety and worry this position, isn’t a patching t* what they earn, or perhaps de serve. A circulation over the firn developed everything in good eon dition.-j A potato digging was oi at tile time, and some 500 bushel is the supposed and calculate* crop. Corn and lots of it, is read.' to cut and work will begin on i Monday. Nearly the hole fare of2oo acies is under cultivation, and the crops this year are simply abundant— could’t be better. Tht buildihgs are all good, well taken care of and in good condition. A good country dinner ended tht pleasures of the day. It was a f dinner that you read about. Dr. f Neptune hasn’t done anything since, and we feel certain that every member of the party got his money’s worth. A NEEOEh FHATEMTY. Decatur has its full quota of organized societies and these societies number among their members some of the very best men and women of the town, but there is still room for another organization and its organization should speedily be effected before the need of it becomes less. A lodge of th* United Order of Anti-Samplers should be orgrnized autl the work vigorously prosecuted. The object of this society is to promote justice and protect two classes, the fruit dealers, whose wares mysteriously disappear or diminish in quantity, and the members themselves who by living the obligations of the order would be protected from the insinuating tendency to petty latency which the sampling habit strongly resembles. If there is anything in justice or equity to justify a citizen, howsoever promi nent he may be, in passing a store and without: any notion of buying calling out “What are the peaches tworth!” and then picking up some 'hf the finest and making off with them, that ’thing is exceedingly obscene and esoteric. Let us have a lodge of this kind organized, whatever the opposition of the fruit dealers may be, and Jet us all take the obligations of the order and perhaps the retail price of fruits may be reduced somewhat.
