Sunday afternoon a reporter for this paper,
in company with four of his
young friends, drove out to the poor farm.
On reaching the farm we were
received into the private apartment of MR.
WILLIAM ARTT and after a
short chat, he cheerfully escorted us through
the inmates' apartments,
where we found that there were l4 boarders,
among them MR. PICKARD, of
this city. In the ladies' apartments we were
entertained by short
speeches and a number of choice songs by the
ladies. We next took in
the farm and found it in an excellent
condition and as we drove away,
all joined in words of praise for the kindly
treatment which we received
from MR. ARTT.
