STATE FINANCES.


review of the State finances, giving the sui

most minute and bewildering details. ss,
perusal of the article and study of Il

a lot of soldiers went down the coast in the
Fourth OF July holidays and had a good
time. The military editor holds that they

opine that had these troops been in South
