The Grand Jurors of the State of Missouri, now here in open court impanneled, sworn and charged to inquire in and for the body of the said county of Perry, respectfully report that they have, during the present term of this court, visited, examined and inspected the paupers' farm and farm house belonging in the county of Perry, situated about one and one-half miles south of the town of Perryville, that they find the buildings and fences on said farm, to be in good repair, but they find that the houses on said farm, in which the paupers reside are kept in a filthy and unhealthy condition, that said sufficiently clothed and are made to sleep on filthy beds, that they find the beds and bedding used by the paupers, almost literally covered with bed bugs, that said beds and bedding, as also the rooms in which the paupers are kept, emit a most intolerable stench, injurious to health, and totally uncomfortable for any person to remain or sleep in."
