The Thanksgiving Dinner.

A Journal reporter made tour OF
the retail markets and provision stores,
Saturday, in ah attempt to obtain a
LIST of prices for Thanksgiving table
supplies, but the merchants in the
trade were rather wary about making
estimates, fearing to set the prices at
too low a figure. The prices asked for
the goodies that grace the feast on
our great holiday today. will probably
prevail until Thanksgiving.
Turkeys, the best of them. will bring
from 80 to 81 cents a pound. and other
fowl will fetch comparatively high
prices. Young pork for roasting, which
is much preferred by many as a
foundation for the Thanksgiving din
ncr, will be sky-high. at II and IA
cents a pound. The other necessities
promise to be moderate in price. how
ever, with the exception Of cranber-
ries. This latter commodity will cost
T. and Is cents a quart, as the berries
are rather scarce this year on account
of the severe frosts that nipped the
hogs, late last spring.
Extra good Boston market celery
will come at 20 cents a bunch. squash.
turnips, and potatoes will he sold at
prevailing market prices. no higher
and no lower than usual, and fish,
shell-fsh will be quite reasonable in
Price Nuts. fruits and other delicacies
are very plentiful, this year, and the
prices will be somewhat lower than
usual. although not sufficiently low to
compensate for the high prices of the
more substantial things.

A Communication.
editor Kennebec Journal:

Editor Kennebec Journal:
I have been thinking over the
proposition of the Edwards Manufac-
turing Company with considerable care.
and have come to the conclusion that
it will be for the interests of the tax
payers of Augusta to accept 1t. The
Edwards Company agrees to a valua-
ton of 81 10000 The assessors placed
it at little rising s1,soOoO0 This
would put upon the Edwards Company
the payment OF more than one-seventh
of the total tax of the city of Augusta.
In addition to this they must pay a tax
for the Village and the Williams school
districts. The city valuation was
placed practically upon the basis of the
State valuation which the company has
always claimed was too high It is
| understood that If the proposal of the
Edwards Company is accepted BY the
voters of Augusta, determined effort
will be made by representatives of the
company and the city government to
secure a reduction in the State valua-
ton with, it seems to me, good chances
of success.
Now the amount of difference IN
NOiScU is ABOUT @ouV,UVV. mo sane man
probably believes that the court would
allow all this. The city would prob
ably consider itself very fortunate to
secure a verdict that gave it ore third
of tlIis sum or total valuation of ST.
100 900. 1t is quite possible, too that
the court might allow an even lower
valuation than the company has agreed
to accept by friendly adjustment of the
matter with the city.
Assuming for argument, however,
that the city finally secured an extra
| $100, 900 of valuation after long fight.
What would it gain? On the face Of
it about $1,000 a year. Let us assume
that the case can be fought for $50. 900.
Wherein would the city be benefited by
the verdict? The city would have to
pay it's 100000 at once, necessitating, in
the present condition of the treasury, a
new issue of interest bearing bonds.
Let us suppose that it would be able to
float these bonds on 3la per cent
basis. The annual interest charge on
them would be $1050 a year. It might
be said that the increased tax of S2:00
year from the Edwards Company
would in time take care of this. So it
would; but even if the city could Dor
row it's money without paying any in
terest at all, it would require more
than thirteen years to bring this about
and even longer if we take into con-
sideration the demands of an annual
interest account. This is the way it
figures out to me on the basis of the
favorable verdict | have assumed. If
the case should so to the company as it
is not unlikely to, it seems to me that
the taxpayers of the city would be
loaded up with heavy burden of debt
which it would take them years to pay,
and whose first result would be an in
crease in our tax-rate which--Heaven
knows-is large enough already
Can we afford to fight under these
circumstances. 1 think not. Is it not
better to accept an honorable settle
ment which will save the city all ex-
pense, and leave it in good shape for
the future? TAXPAYER.

Richmond came near being the scene
of a railroad accident, Saturday noon,
which was, however, averted without
any very serious results. AS train NO.
%, which goes east from Augusta at
1895. was passing through the village
it collided with a working train which
was standing on a siding, and was
not far enough from the switch to al
low the passenger train to pass. The
last car of the working train was just
far enough in to allow the other train
to rub against it with force enough
to tear off some portions of the loco
motive, and stave in the corner of the
mail car besides partially wrecking
the side of the car. tearing off the
steps breaking out the windows, and
tearing off the hook for catching mail
pouches. The baggage car was also
badly scratched, and one of the outer
windows in the Pullman parlor cal
was broken. The locomotive hauled
the train as far as Waterville. wher
il was left at the car shops. and
new one attached to the train. Nc
one was injured. but il Was narrow
escape, all around.

A new series of money orders has
been issued by the post otnce depart
ment at Washington, ID. G., which are
considered to be quite an improve
ment over the style which has here
tofore been in use. The principal diff
ference between the two is that the
new ones have n space for the name
of the remitter and also the address
of the payee. The left hand margin
of the order. also. is different, having
series of figures running from one
to 100, and an order is not good for
an amount larger than is indicated
on the margin. This arrangement is
of value because it prevents any pos
siblity of raising the amount called
for by the order. The Augusta office
will begin to issue the new orders
within a few days, but the old forms
now on hand will be used until the
supply is exhausted before the new
ones are issued.
