Visit to the Jefferson County alms-house farm
The Jefferson County alms-house near Lestown, praised for its well-managed farm and humane care, hosted County Court members led by Nelson T. Snyder.

Inmates, white and colored, receive meals from farm products, while one chronic grumbler colors the narrative with his complaints. The group enjoyed a hearty dinner and left with a strong, favorable impression of the institution.
