REPORT OF SCHOOL TREASURER.
-----
Receipts and Disbursements For
Marlin Public Schools.
-----

       The annual report of Treasurer T. E. Battle of the Marlin Public schools, shows an interesting exhibit of figures.  The statement makes an excellent showing for the financial condition of the schools and attests to the good management of the board.
       Under the law, the state and county funds are available only for teachers salaries, the local taxes being available for salaries and for other purposes connected with the school expenses.  Therefore, the amount of the state fund is applied entirely to salaries, which exhausts that fund, the remainder due the teachers being paid out of the local tax fund.
       The following is a summary of the report.
