to send receipts instead and thus save a
big postage bill. You can see for your
|self what your bill is. On the little adj
dress slip pasted on your paper weekly
is your name and date. The date
shows what time the paper is paid to. 1t
ought to read not less than Dec. 1st,
1899. If it is any less you can figure it
for yourself and send us in even dollars
to pay to some date near that and we
will send you receipt and our thanks

safer yet by post Office order, express
order or bank draft
In the tax table published according
to law by Treasurer Douglas, to know
how much your own rate amounts to
you first take the county and state levies,
add the township or village levy, then
add the school district levy. Such COM

localities. Thus Dist. No. 9, we think is
in Carlisle township. The state and
county levy is Is mills. Carlisle town
ship is mills, District No 9is two mills
total levy % mills. This will be one o.
the lightest tax levies. District No. 43 is
: in the city of St. Thomas. The state ane
county levy is 1e mills, city levy 10 mills
district levy Is mills. Total, Al mills
which is probably larger than any coun
try locality but not as large as some 9th
er cities and villages. Pembina, Dist
No. l, is the highest with 81 mills.
