A VISIT TO NORTHERN LIGHT GRANGE
The Master of Granite Grange and A. Stin-
son of North Searsport visited Northern
Light Grange March 23d. They had supper
at Bro Ira. G. Whites and there met Bro
Clements, who organized Granite Grange
nearly quarter of century ago Our cor
respondent, A. S., says: "After supper we
went over to the hall where we received
hearty welcome from the good patrons of
Northern Light Grange. Worthy Master
Clements called the Grange to order and
after the usual business were called on
for few remarks. 1t was limited to us be-
fore the meeting that Bro. Gardner of the
State Grange was expected that night,
which did not put us out in the least. At
the intermssion he came, accompanied by
Bro. Libby, secretary of the Maine State
We were very glad to be present. Northern
Light is we'll supplied with legal talent and
if We are any judge. We got some good in
formation from the members of Northern
Light Grange, and in the small hours left for
our homes in a driving snow storm. We
reached our destination safely with no mis-
fortunes except getting tipped out a few
times. Long live Northern Light Grange.

The Waldo County Tax.

The County Commissioners have assessed
the county tax on the various towns of Waldo
County for the year 1899. The assessment
made by the Legislature for the County of
Waldo for the years 1899 and 1900 is $1,000
per year, against S1S 500 for 1856 and S17..
600 for 1878. 1t is not practicable to make
an assessment against the various towns
on their valuation, and produce the exact
amount, hence the law provides for an over
lay, the amount assessed by the Commits
sloners being slightly above that assessed
by the Legislature. To the regular assess
ment is also added, in each town, the
amount, if any, paid for fire inquests in the
town during the previous year. AS show
ing the constant and rapid decrease of taxa
tlon, due TO great extent to the more econo-
mlcat management of the criminal business
by the County Commissioners and Sheriff
we give below the amounts assessed against
the county as a whole for the five wears
and against the various towns for 1885. 1897
and 1899
