Special correspondence Of The Star
RICHMOND, Va, May 21.-lnforma-
ton regarding the new assessment OF
real estate in the counties and cities OF
Virginia is coming in, principally from
the officers Of the counties and cities
when they reach the city on official bust
ness.
The information is not at all complete,
however 1t serves, nevertheless, to give
an idea of the increases which will be
fixed in every part of the state.
The figures so far disclosed indicate
that the average increase in the counties
and cities will be close on to % per cent.
with the probability that this estimate
will be exceeded.
This city will show an increase in real
estate valuations of at least $l2,OOo,GOo,
and may go beyond that sum.
The revenues of the state are some
thing more than S6.OO0.0(O. When the
new assessment is available this Will
reach not less than $T,.D0,ND.
In many sections the values OF farm
lands has been raised to more than
double the valuations of former years.

 eventful day already detailed at such length. that as Duncan was entering the house with load of boxed goods he heard voices in the store-young voices. of which one was already too familiar to his ears. He paused, wait ing for them to get through witk their business and go. for he had no time to waste just then. even upon the heiress of his manufactured destiny. Betty was then working in the shop (old Sam having gone upstairs for little rest, who was overwrought and weary with the excitement of that day). and it was Duncan's hope that she would be able to serve the custom CTS without his assistance. a

 He was silent for a little.

 "For Josie" I chuckled, but he didn't respond. So took up the tale of the first family of Radville.
