short Of last years By 1000, 900
tons, or equal to IL $50 pound
sack to every man, woman and

equal to two entire British wheat
crops. Through a speculative
movement there has been ii raise Of

this Is enough for the present. We

cause a steady increase. Oats are 4

Business I'm Books,

Your correspondent had occasion to visit Brooks
little villages in Waldo Go. A large business is
done in the manufacture of clothing. The largest
factory is conducted by III. Gordon, who employs
from 30 to 40 hands most of the time. Two other
factories are carried by T. L. Elliot and Mrs.
Miller. At the shop of Staples Il Jones found Mr..
s. at the bench and he informed me they had com
peted 10 jumpers this season. besides lots of re
pairing, and had already sold nearly half of the
jumpers. They do all the wood work painting and
trimming, and the ironing is done by kerling &
Richards, two young men who attend to all work
in the blacksmith line with neatness and despatch
There some five stores in the place. A. f.
Chase appears to do the largest business Next are
c. +. Lane & Co., who have very fine stock and t,
large trade. Mrs. &. V. Monroe keeps millinery
and fancy goods store ana evidently is thoroughly
acquainted with the business. The new Post Office
kept by Mr.. Brown is fitted up with good taste and
is very convenient. Capt. Hucksford, the late p
NJ, still trades the old stand, and by is the
stove and tin shop of Otis Lane. On our way
that besides his profession he carries larg,
farm and has now in his barn some II head of neat
cattle and nice horses. The next building on the
street to the II. r. Station is the Rose House. which
we recommend as fine place to satisfy the
inner Before reach the station are
reminded of the large of hay that is shipped
by Mr.. Chase every At the station founC
friend Hiram, with his usual politeness and hi
strict attention to business. And end the notes
of a brief visit to Brooks
The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1885-12-24

Ii has been The custom of the Journal for several
years past to lay before its readers some statistics
from the county commissioners records, in regard
to the county finances These figures Ito not in
cludc all the outlay as the eNpensc4 OF the supreme
Judicial Court not taken into account, but are
confined to the criminal matters originating before
the municipal and trial justice courts, support of
prisoners at the jail inquests and general bills.
The total for lssj 7,75i. %, is not mach diff
fcIent from last year. the principal item of increase
being for the support Of prisoners the Jail which
j. $1,000 greater than last year. This is due To
Il gratifying decrease in the criminal costs on
iginain9 before the local courts, as the follow
ing will show. For the year 1883 the sum of -,
S01.39 allowed in criminal matter origin
ating before the Police and Trial Justice courts i'll
les4 the increased to 50 3:;7 "a while for
lssj these costs amount to the comparatively small
of 81 ,9i3.2S. This decrease is no doubt due to
the change i'll the law, constant agitation and the
pruning"f bills by the county commissioners. The
| expenses of the year are divided as follows: gen
elal bills, S3,00j3l; support of prisoners at the
jail s2390,23; mitmuses, SlSil4; inquosts s23l p
criminal matters before municipal and trial justice
courts Sl,HS2S. The general bills are high, which
is partly due to the destruction of the jalor'S
Judicial court less than last year in consequence
Of the large number of liquor fines collected by the
vigilance of County Attorney Rogers.
