Commissioners once.
The Commissioners have made the
rate OF tax for county purposes at 8
mills which will make total tax of
about &l4,5O0. The total valuation
last year was $4.s47,354. The aver
age valuation last year for horses
was 1877 each; COWS, $l5. It has
been decided that the assessors shall
assess horses so that the average
shall be $22.5O; cows, Sl7.25. This
action OF the commissioners was due
to the fact that the average last year
varied from $3.50 to $lS in the aver
ages of the valuation of horses from
different districts.

DR.. Palmer, who has been delivering
series of lectures in the village in
connection with a magic lantern show,
has carried away with him not only
considerable of BristoPs loose change,
but rather bad impression of BrlstoPs
moral condition. He says that any
recent statement that the devil had
been run out of town needs revision.
Mephisto, he claims, is very much IN
evidence, not only on Copac avenue
but also in several localities on Main
street. There was in his opinion also
a strong suggestion OF birthstone
around the depot the morning he left.
1t is understood that the doctor will
return to Bristol in the near future to
conduct two weeks revival, to the
end that the village may be efectually
purged of the satanic influence.
