The County Court of Clinton county, finding it rather expensive boarding their paupers among the people, have concluded, as an economical measure, to build a county poor house and will, when the building is completed, board the unfortunate in the county house. The new building is to be erected on the county farm which comprises 160 acres and is situated in the immediate vicinity of Carlyle, the county seat.
