The Poor Farm Shortage.

The co mmissioners went over the accounts of the poor farm Tuesday with ex-superintendent Clark. A total shortage of $1199.97 was found. Deducting SIOOO, the amount previously paid into the treasury by Mr. Clark, left yet due the county $199.97. To offset this amount Mr. Clark has accounts against the county, which will leave it in his debt about three dollars. An adjustment on this basis will probably close th6^~matter.
