West, who were supposed to be suffering from laok of the neoeasities of life, at Wes ton have been found to be well suppli ed with funds, and looal aid and sympathy were promptly withdrawn, says the Leader. The Wests arrived there last fall from Tennessee, and reside on ' Broad street in tbe upper part of town. In tbe family are a ' husband and wife and four children. Both Mr. and Mrs. West have been fiiok during the winter, and the seeming poverty and distress of the family attraoted tbe attention of kind-hearted neighbors, who proceeded to assist them with personal help, and with donations of provisions, clothing and bedding. The household was recently visited by Rev. W. S. Payne, pastor of the united Uretbern churoh who lett a money gift of $5. Mr. Payne found no provisions in tbe house exoept flout and a small pieoe of bacon, and noti fied S. A. Barnes of the family's ap parent poverty. Mr. Barnes is tbe oountv's looal representative' for tbe aid of indigent poor, and at onoe sent the Wests a supply of groceries and a half oord of wood. After matters had progressed this far it was discovered by obanuv) that a boy in the family who attended sohool had oarrled to sohool a parse containing $160. A neighbor who had contributed some art! ales of bedding took these to the house, and while en gaged in making the be d saw a wallet, apparently well stuffed with green backs, under the pillow. These disclosures led! to the infer enoe that the Wests at a well able to care for theme elves alttoooRh they are 'reported to haves aid that there were just 15 oects between them and absolute poverty. Mr. Payne made another visit t.nd der sanded and re ceived the 5 be had given. Mr Barnes sent Marshal Getting on similar niistdon, and he came baok with $9.50, th value of the county's contribution. lne incident is now regarded as closed and tbe Wests fill t permitted in future to ho stle for themselves.
