GREAT SHIPMENTS OF STOCK
Charles Mix County Cattle Bring a
Million q Year.

Since Jan. 1 last over 176 carloads Of
live stock have been shipped from a sim
gle town-Geddes-in Charles Mix Coun-
ty. The stock was worth easily $ 1000
per car, which would bring the value Of
the shipments since the first of the yea
to about $4,000. Estimating that the
other two railroad towns in the county
did equally well, it would make more
than 100000 which has been distributed
among the farmers of the county since
Jan. / last in exchange for cattle. 1t is
expected the stock shipments from the
county during the present year will ag.
gregate fully 81. 200, 900 in value.

600 people in the county, which would
give every man, woman and child an av--
erage of $50 each.

INSURANCE RATES.
WaterviIIe Agents Receive Notice of
Rise.

Wateryil!e insurance agents, Monday,
received notice OF the rise Of insurance
rates on real estate in this section of
the State. The rise in rates has been
expected for some time, in fact ever
since the great fire in Baltimore. sew
eral months ago, and it is supposed that
the losses entailed by the fire at that
time are the cause for the rise now.
Following is n list of the towns and
cities in this vicinity effected by the
rise. the rates all being on a valuation
of 500 and for n three-year policy, with
two annual payments: Albion. from
$50 to STE: Benton from $50 to SIS:
Benton Falls, China. Branch Mills,
from $50 to SO; South China remains
the same as before; Weeks Mills, $50
to SIS: Clinton, from $40 to s.75; Fair
field, from $50 to $40 with the excep-
ton of buildings 500 feet or more from
hydrant, on which the rate is adj
vanced to SIS; East Fairfield. Fairfield
Center. LarOne, North Fairfield. from
$50 to SIS: Shawmut, from $40 to SIS;
Oakland. from $.33 1-3 to $40, with the
same hydrant clause as at Fairfield;
Nassalboro and East Vassalboro, from
$50 to SIS; North Vassalboro, from
$40 to $50: Watervile. from $40 to
s.333 Ia. with the exception Of buildings
located on the Plains and at the Head
of the Falls, on which the rate is in
creased from $40 to $50; Winslow, from
$40 to $50.
Some say that this increase in the
case of the property situated on the
Plains seems altogether out of reason.
for the Plains with q fine fire depart
ment and water service get no better
rate than the town of Winslow where
there is no fire protection to speak of
except what is sent over from this city
in case of necessity. ~
