The Orphans Home of Decatur County was sold by the sheriff on Tuesday afternoon under a board of commissioners order. The tract between Walnut and Sheridan streets, west of Monfort, fronts 240 feet and runs 288 feet deep, with space for twelve 40 by 136 foot lots. A brick building erected by Isaac Shirk about forty years ago, bought by W. H. Hazelrigg, stands at the center. The building cost about $6,000 and was acquired by the county in 1880. Appraised at $4,500, only one bid was received. Orlando Doles, for himself and Charles W Woodward, bid the appraised value and won the property, which may yield profit to the buyers. Its future use remains undecided.
