MUCH WORK FOR
GRAND JUR|ES
Discrepancies in Tax Returns to
Be Sifted-Clifton Forge
Puzzling.

That there Will be work for special
grand juries In connection with the
tax returns this fall Is the opinion OF
state Auditor of Public Accounts c.
Leo Moore, who has been going over
the books of the commissioners of tho
revenue as they have come in In the
msin, the books so far received have
evidence that the commissioners have
made honest efforts to arrive at proper
assessments. Some cases are puzzling,
as for instance when one district in
the prosperous county of Rockingham
reports that it has no citizen whose
income is a s much rs $1,000 year.
Apparent discrepancies IN Nanscmond
and buckingham Counties are account
ed for by the fact that whereas as
sessments were formerly made of GER
tain private banking firms, as incor-
poratcd banks they are now assessed
BY the Corporation Commission
No one has attempted to account
for the decrease in intangible values
returned from Clifton Forge, which
also reports less incomes than last
year. There is not bond or other
evidence OF debt listed for taxation,
no capital stock of Incorporated COM
panies. no shares OF stock in incorpor-
4 companies. and according TO the
sworn statement of the Commissioner
OF the Revenue, the aggregate of in
dividual capital In business is $4,000,
while OF money in bank there is only
slS.6S6.
Tax returns were made public by
Auditor Moore yesterday as follows:

16GIRLS BESIEGE

DR.. J. Frazee's Feelings, Teeth

Bachelors to whom the approaching
winter looks bleak and dread with
out the prospect of a loving wiley,

DR. J. Frazee, of No. 5S1-2 White
hall street, says the supply Of matri-
monially inclined daughters of Geor-
gia is big enough to take care of all
the lonesome males pining for double
blessedness-and then some.
The doctor had sixteen proposals
Monday morning, so he ought to
know.
They came in twos and threes, stout
women and lean women, girls who
might have been making fudge the
day before yesterday and matrons to
whom the frivolous things of life are
but memory. Some came in silks,
and some in Satins, and some in ging-
ham gowns. but all with a we'll de-
fined notion that without matrimony
life is a failure-and that the doctor
was the very man to supply the de-
fiCienCy.
Under certain conditions they might
have brought nothing but unalloyed
joy But

he found these casualties:

one torn collar

breath he explained that there was
one simple little thing that stood in
the way OF his saying yes to any OF
his ardent wooers
