The Post Of Danger.

Of Paris said TO him:
1.-THE castle of Molftihery stands ir
the safe heart of France, and no invad

La Rochelle in Poitou stands Oh the
line Of battle. Day and night it mus,
be guarded from assault. and it has
suffered grievously. Which, gentle

Money Matters of the
State Show Up Wei

no previous time in her history
has the Commonwealth of Vir-
ginia been so financially strong
and healthy as she was October
/. the beginning of new fscial
year.
This gratifying condition is
shown by the balace sheet drawn
by Chief Bookkeeper John T..
Sale. of the Office of the auditor
of public accounts. The record
of receipts for the year from all
sources, however, is far from
complete. The new tax system,
under which reports on as assess
ments are reviewed BY local
boards, operated this year to hold
back large volume of receipts
for the year enormously.
The book balance drawn by
the auditors chief bookkeeper
show that there is standing to
the states credit at the begin
ming of this new fiscal year 1851, +.
77l.33, against balance for 1914
of $685., 4I7.S3. The increase in
1915 oyer 1913 is therefore $216,-
$3.50.
The steady and healthy growth
of the states finances is shown
in the following comparative
statement of receipts and dis
bursements for the last four
years:
Receipts from all sources, 1912,
S7,O51, 641; total disbursements,
81, 1S3. 1878. Receipts, 1913,
$7,465,S72.74; disbursements.
S7,11S. $500. Receipts, 1914,
$7.797,532. +; disbursements,
S7,645, 357.O7. Receipts, 1915,
$S.210. 925.35; disbursements,
$7,694,571.S5.
Added to the receipts from all
sources for the year ended Octo-
Der 1, is balance on hand Oc-
tober 1, 1914, amounting 10
$635,417.S2, bringing the total
to So, 846, 245.18.
The total of disbursements for
all purposes for the year ended
October 1, is 1894, s71.s5. This
gives the'balance on hand its to-
tai of 1851, 771.33.
How the figures have grown
on the credit side OF the balance
sheets since Auditor C. Lee
Moore assumed charge of the Of
fee is shown in the following re.
view OF the last four years
Increase in receipts from ali
sources for 1913 over the preced-
ing year, $4l4.231.74 increase
in 1914 over 1913, 1891, $685. II i
increase in 1915 over 1914, SAB.

Out of the balance sho vn for
this year will have to be paid in
to special funds to which certain
revenues are assigned total OIL
about $l5O,O0O. No cognizance
is taken OF these special funds
In the balance sheets drawn.
1t is estimated that the rel
ceipts from all sources for thel
year commencing October / will
show an enormous increase over |
the year inst closed. The vol.
ume of revenue from all of the
principal sources is growing rap
idly and steadily, and it is ex-I
pected that the enforcement of
the new tax laws, bringing to
the State just taxes that have
been tor many years omitted. |
will further strengthen the
States finances and to = yeryl
large extent.

MARKVILLE, ON THE 500

The writer took a trip last FRI
day and Saturday over to Mark
vile, the hustling little town on
the 500 Line in the extreme east
ern part of Pine County. This
town was started about 81 years
ago when the railroad was put
through and has an ideal location
for making good town. All the
trains stop here, in fact it is the
first stop the fast trains make
south of Superior. 1t was a
pleasure to meet the people there
who are all hustlers and boosters.
The town boasts of a fine new
fire-proof bank building which
cost in the neighborhood of
$500. M. Bulls of Sandstone
is the president and j. F. Brun-
ner cashier. 1t has been in busi-
ness only about two or three
months and has already deposits
amounting to a total of over S24,-
600. The town has two general
stores, a restaurant, and a hard
ware store under construction,

two hotels. a saw and planning
mill and a complete and up-to-
date lumber yard which is man
aged by Thure A. Johnson. Mr..
johnson is enjoying a good busi-
ness and is certainly entitled to
it as he is selling at low prices,
buying in big quantities and
giving his customers the advant-
age. Returning home we went
via auto, driving first three miles
north of Markville and then
straight west on the Danforth
road to Sandstone. The first 15
miles of the road leading. from
Markville is not very good for
automobile, but the last half of
the road, that nearest Sandstone,
is good. Considering that it is a
new country around Markville
we would say they have done
we'll with their roads in accom-
plishing as much as they have.
