Will Sell Some of
County Home Farm
The County Commissioners have decided to sell some of the
County Home farm and believe they will realize sufficient funds for the 68
acres they will dispose of located on the left side of the road on the way to
the mill to erect a modern county home, without borrowing any money.
The entire lot of 68 acres located on the east side of the
road will be disposed of with the exception of four acres which will be
reserved for the side of the County Home. This four acres will give ample space
for gardens and potato patches.
The commissioners are finding farming at the home
unprofitable. The entire tract consists of 224 acres and the balance on this
side of the road will be left for the convicts to work, and raise supplies for
the home and the convicts. This will give quite a large farm and all that is
necessary in the opinion of the County Fathers.
