I652.73 for that ending Oct. |, 1915.
This gave an expense account for the
past year of 51,S43.25 below that for
the year ending Oct. l. 1914. Taking
the full biennial period together, the
excess of receipts over disbursements
amounted to $325,333.99.
The same report will show deficit
in state privilege tax collections for
the two years of $S9,739.3S, while for
state ad valorem taxes there was a
gain of s23,9s9.30. The receipts from
the insurance department also showed
a considerable reduction, aggregating
$33,5S44S. Taking the figures alto
gether, it is shown that there was a
net decrease from the slump in privi-
lege tax and insurance department
accounts of $99,334.31.
The indications are that the forth
coming legislature will have to do
some very capable financiering in or
der to bring the revenue anywhere ap-
proximately near what the call for dis
bursements is likely to be. Even at
the best it must either be loan, an
other million and half bond issue, or
an augmented ad valorem tax levy
There is some prospect that with aug
mented receipts for cotton and its
seed and the sale of other state pris-
on products, the receipts from that
source will help out somewhat during
the current fiscal year, but in all prob
ability such increase will be offset by
increased expenses. 1t will be neces-
sary to find the means to meet the
salaries of three additional supreme
court judges, in addition to stenog-
raphic and clerical help, which will
mean not less than $4,000 year ad-
ditional to what is now necessary.

Gulfport, Miss, Oct. 26.-The steam

turned to deep water from the beach
where she was driven by the late
storm, was surveyed yesterday by ].
M Buchanan. classifier for Lloyds,

The vessel, however, win be locked

be given thorough overhauling.
Capt J. ]. Clark. local surveyor for

the condition of the big vessel and the
comparative ease with which she was
fioated.
1t was Capt Clark who gave out the
contract for floating the vessel and
who superintended the work of get
ting her off.
When asked this morning as to the
total damage done to shipping in the
harbor by the late storm, he stated
that $4,000 would cover the entire
loss, and this amount he distributed

The Orla had her windlass broken
and the Fruithandel suffered slight
injury to her plates.
1t is understood that $25,000 out
of the 100000 attributed to the Birch
wood was for getting her off the
beach.
The Bellhouse, which was at Ship
Island, had her windlass broken, en-
failing a loss of about $1,000.
Thus it will be seen that the dam
age in the Gulfport harbor was quite
small considering the severity of the
storm.

lawful rights to neutral trade are
beginning to come from London,
with gradual relaxation of the
embargo upon imports to the

alone the right to send our own

ships to neutral countries.

Men and women had run the gamut of
excuses and had become tired and had
come back to find quiet and relief. So
conservatism of political thought fol-
lows the extreme Of radicaIism. SO a
period of agitation breeds a desire
which is almost a demand for rest.
Many things, no doubt, conspired to
help on this natural trend, the Titanic
having a notable effect. New York s
very furore of crime, which had its
elimination in the Becker case, made
men think. And when any Of the
vicissitudes of life really make mer
think, the church is the natural spot to
which they turn.

A JOLLY, GOOD TIME


gathering ever taken place in |
Askov was the reception given
in honor of the newly-weds, Mr.. |
and Mrs. V. Hoiberg, by the
Young Peoples Society at the
assembly hall Friday evening.
There was a crowd of about 300
present and the committee in
charge had spared no time nor
work in providing entertainment
and refreshments. Everybody
said they just couldn't help but
enjoy themselves.
The band boys were on deck
and played a good, lively march
as Mr.. and Mrs. Hoiberg entered
the hall and were seated at the
head of the table. About 125
were seated at the first table and
about the same number at the
second. Carl Miller in behalf of
the committee and "Skovrosen"
babe Mr.. and Mrs. Hoiberg well
come and expressed his wish
that their life may be filled with
joyful events as this one, and
that their ideals may be placed
high. He also presented them
with a beautiful silver baking
dish, a gift from "Skovrosen'
and other friends, with the name
of the society engraved upon it.
Rev. Andersen, F. Clarey Nielsen
and DR.. Fenger made short
speeches. DR.. Fenger showed
himself as being an old timer at
banquet speaking and made a
few very appropriate remarks.
Among other things he said he
likes Askov and its people and is
glad to see our young people
unite in marriage and establish
homes of their own in our midst.
After the doctors speech the
band played several selections
and the male quartette, which
Mr.. Hoiberg has organized and
directed, sang a song. Rev. An
dersen directed this time.
Next on the program came
Mr.. R. Nortvig, the humorist,
| who had prepared a rather
lengthy speech, but had the close
attention of the assemblage
throughout, and gave everybody
an opportunity to have a good,
hearty laugh. Mr.. Nortvig got
a little out of the line of banquet
speaking and entered into an adj
vertising campaign for the Amer
lean and a certain brand of to-
bacco sold by P. Fl. Petersen &
Co. 1t is doubtful if he will be
reimbursed with the pecuniary
stuff that he spoke of but never
theless he has our thanks for
remembering us so kindly. He
also gave the young ladies a
course in economics and ended
with humorous song which he
had written for this occasion,
The song was a good one and
made the young welded couple
rather uneasy at times.
Mr.. Hoiberg then rose and
thanked the people one and all
for their presence and the good
spirit shown.
After this dancing was com,
menced and kept up till about
1890. everybody stepping lively
to the music of the band.
