These few entries Will serve TO give n
general idea of single entry ookkeeping
and indeed will prove q key 70 1t as there
is nothing further to be explained in so
simple process.
Single entry sometimes comprebends
| the use of u cash book and also an invoice
book.
These only serve, however, to complicated
! n simple system and afford no further So
! curity from errors. The cash book is
used as separate source of entry for cash
receipts and for recording all financial
transactions which occur In the course
Cf business, while the invoice book Is used
for recording tho amounts of Inerchan-
disc purchased by tho firm.
The one great weakness of the single
entry system is that IL affords no check,
and mistakes once made are therefore apt
to remain undiscovered.
In our next article we shall treat of
double entry bookkeeping, which Is the
only scientific method Of keeping mercan-
tile accounts.

DEATH In IT'S WAKE.
One Life Lost In Consequence Of
Yesterdays Heavy BLOW.
John Lucas Drowned in Mount Hope Bay
Through the Swampin ng of Boat.

The gale which swept over the state yes
terday carried death in Its wake and those
who were on the water had rough ex'
perience. All tho Sunday fishermen
suff cred and one lost his life His com.
panions barely escaped tho same fate.
The fatality occurred in Mount Hopo Bay,
off the south point Of Mount Hope, Bris-
tol.
The party that left Fall River ct G
O'Clock Sunday morni ng in the cat boat
sea Cat. ;" comprised frauk Stevenson,
the owner Of the boat John lucas. Fred
erick Taylor, and Johr Kyle all of Fall
River. The boat made good time before
the strong southwest breeze and IL was
anchored of Soal Rock. After fishing for
"A short time it wa; decided to shit the
position OF the boat because Of the rising
wind
Tho sallboat was anchored further In
shore and its owner remained aboard.
The others went in search Of better fishing
grounds in "a small boat. They made for
some rocks in shore and as they were all
inexperienced boatmen they had "a hard
time In the rough water rs the wind was
now blowing gale They tried to fish,
but the conditions were against them.
Then they decided TO return To the sail
boat. Taylor was at the cars, Lucas sat
in the bow and Kyle sat in the stern.
The water came over the sides Of the
small boat and the occupants became ex-
cited. One wave followed another and the
boat was swamred.
The men could not swim and they en-
doavorod To cling to tho sides of the boat.
Kyle and Lucas could not maintain their
grasp and Lucas disappeared. Kyle
drited in shore arh was able TO wade 10
n place of safety. Taylor managed To
cling TO the boat and no was rescued by
Stevenson who let the catboat drift TO
within roscuing distance. Stevenson
did net see the accident TO the small
boat, as Ee was busy on tho sailboat
When he saw what had happened he
made oil haste To render assistance.
Oscar Rice ana a man named Silvia,
both of Bristol, saw the boat capsiZe
from the Mount Hope shore ana they
tried TO rescue Lucas, but their efforts
were unavailng. The unfortunate man
was drowned The Survivors tried to
find the remains OF their companion and
after long search the body of Lucas
was found washed up on the land.
The Bristol police were notified of tho
fatality and Medical Examiner Williams
made an examination Of the remains as
they laid upon the shore He deemed
an inquest unnecessary, as death was ap-
parent from drowning.
Lucas was less than 81 years uf age
He lived with his wife and two children
at IL Marble street, Fall Rivor Ho was
machinist and had worked at bis trade
In Fall River for several years. lIo came
10 this country from England.

LEDGER.

The ledger being indexed, it will be n
simple matter TO look up an account by
first locating it there, and noting the folio
In the day book from which it was taken
In some cases n separate book Is kept to
contain the ledger index.
1t Is also customary in many cases to
write the addresses of the persons with
whom business is done both in the day
book and the ledger.
The specimens of ledger entries given
are supposed to each represent distinct
page, 1t being usual TO give that space to
each account
Tho fifth page is devoted to Il. B. Will
son. Wilson purchases of the firm sun
dry articles amounting to $50. %. These
are charged To him on the day book and
the Items are there enumerated. 1t is not
necessary to do more than bring tho total
amount into the ledger, and to place ii on
the DIR. side of that book. The left hand
side of a ledger is invariably the debtor
and the right the creditor side.
With John ;. Way To whom the next
ledger page is given, the firm has n more
complicated transaction.
In this case Way is the creditor, being
the person from whom the firm purchases
piece of silk. a cash payment of $40
IL made at the same time that the goods
arc purchased. This calls for the making
OF an entry on both sides of the ledger. In

The literary part of tho program was a
magnificent success, and after that had

With such schools added TO our resources
our country would soon surpass Germany.
