This morning the county commis
ioners met in regular monthly ses
sion, and spent the day principally in
auditing bills. It Is probable, before
the court adjourns that the commis
sioners will take up several matters
of great Importance to the county at

farm. The commissioners realize that
the county needs a poor farm more
centrally located than the old one
was, arid have been looking for a suit
able location since the sale ot the one
at Union. As yet they have, for var
ious . reasons been unable to decide, j
