q Suggestion To Fishermen

So important is the fishing industry
Of wakulla county, that we clip the fol
lowing splendid suggestion from the
Tallshasseean for the benefit of our
fishermen: .9tu
Hundreds of wagons, fun Of pepolc
from Georgia, go down o. our Gulf
coast every autumn, Observer has
seen on the streets of Tallahassee as
many a. eighty five OF these coast visit
ors in one day They goto the coast
for week or ten days Nmting, and
sometimes come from ss high up Ms
Marietta, which is some twenty miles
above Atlanta. The majority of these
people don't catch fish they come
down to enjoy the sport Of being on the
Gulf coast; they perhapsin the ma
iority of instances catch plenty Of ish
to eat while at the coast but depend
upon the fisheries to supply the aver
age couple Of barrels Of salt mullet and
half barrel Of roe that they Garry back

Now this has been the prsctice Of our
Gulf coast Fisheries for hslf century
or more. But why do ther not try
liltlc progress, and put - these fish
like the fishermen of the great lakes,
in neat smoked packages Observer
has recently seen and sampled n speci-
men OF mullet which IN delicacy of

the white fish Of the great lakes, The

A SHOWER or FROGS.
Cloudburst Brings a DeIuEe of the
Dazed Creatures.

Dazed Creatures.
A traveller from Fort Ogden, Fla,
declared that he passed through an
avalanche of frogs ten miles south of
here recently, says a dispatch from
Arcadia Fla. 1t had been raining ter
ribly for three days and the other day
there was almost a cloudburst in this
county, the rain coming down for four
hours in almost solid sheets. This man
started out and ON the way he passed
a section where for two miles
the frogs literally covered the ground.
The road was covered and the ground
in the woods as far as could be seen
on either side They were crushed be-
meath his horses feet as he rode along.
There were three kinds or sizes, most
of them being the green so-called tree
frogs" 80 abundant there. The small
ones were about all inch long, the others
being two and three inches. There
were millions of them and the noise
they made was deafening. He brought
several along as specimens.
It's the general opinion here that the
cloudburst brought them. This is the
first time that this thing has ever hap
pened in this section and the people
are greatly excited over il. The man
stated that the frogs seemed dazed and
hardly moved as he came along.

FLY DUG THE SPIDERS GRAVE.
Grave Digger Took the Measurement
of His Victim Eight Times.

OF HIS victim Eight Times.
Samuel Simon, ST., well-known resi-
dent of Neshannock township. Pa.
while strolling near his home one day
recently noticed 3 fly about half an
inch long, and of rk blue color. with
a slim body, bearing large dead spider,
reports the New Castle Democrat. The
fly crossed his path and laid his load
down. 1t then went about IS inches in
another direction and commenced dig
ging a hole in the ground. His curl-
osity being excited, he stopped and
watched the work. After the fly had the
hole dug about half the length of him
self he went 10 where he had left the
spider and took his dimensions. After
going back to the hole he found ii was
not big enough and commenced dig
ging again. After taking out a guam
THY of earth he again went to the
spider and took his dimensions. He did
this eight times and as often enlarged
the hole. When the busy little fellow
had the hole too deep for him to throw
the earth clear out he would, go on to
the bank and force it back with his
feet. After he had the excavation large
enough for his purpose he went for
the spider and took it to the grave, for
such it proved to be, and dragged it
to the mouth of the hole. After he had
the body in he covered it with fine earth
dust and finished by placing small
piece of cinder on top. When he had
finished the work he flew away The
whole time consumed was exactly So
minutes, as Mr.. Simon says he sat and
watched the whole performance.

LOWERING THEM AGAIN.
Board of Equalization Cuts Down

board of Equalization Cuts Down
Some Assessments.
The board Of equalization spent most
OF its time yesterday in listening to
the applications of retail merchants
for a reduction of their assessed valu-
atoms.
F. Schlick of the firm of Field
Schlick, Young & Co., asked that the
assessment of 100000, as fixed by the
board last week, be reduced to 0,000.
After some discussion, on motion of
Assemblyman Kirke, the assessed val
uation was reduced to 100000.
In like manner the assessed valua-
ton of Schuneman & Evans, which
had been fixed at 100000. was reduced
to $50, 1000.
Robert Mannheimer appeared before
the board and asked that the assess
ment of Mannheimer Bros. be reduced
from 100000 The board reduced 1t
to s6S, O00
Mr. Elsinger, of the Golden Rule,
asked that the valuation of the stock
of goods be reduced below $150,000.
Mr.. Quehl thereupon asked Mr..
Elsinger if he. had not testified before
the department store investigating
committee of the senate last winter
that the Golden Rule carried a stock
of goods ranging in value from $350000
to 100000.
Mr. Elsinger emphatically denied
that he had ever made any such state
ment.
Mr.. Quehl inquired whether any
other representative of the firm had
made such a statement. Mr.. Elsinger
answered that nobody representing the
firm had made such an affidavit.
The matter was then laid over and
Messrs. Kirke and Kaldunski were ap-
pointed a committee to examine the
books of account of the Golden Rule,
Through some oversight, the per-
sonal property of Peter Stems, the
railroad contractor had been assessed
at only $4,000. 1t was raised to SIG. 235
The assessment of the Northern
Wood & Coal company was reduced
from $500 to $1,000, and that of the
Pabst company allowed to stand at
$500.
Immediately after the adjournment
Of the board for the day the commit
tee Of five, appointed to consider the
assessment of the jobbers, held a brief
executive session in the mayors office
NO action was taken, however Refer
ring to the jobbers, Mr.. Kirke said
yesterday:
The opinion prevails in some unin-
formed quarters that the assessments
OF the jobbers of the city is about 10
per cent, while, in fact, it is about So
per cent of values, and in some cases
it is 40 and even so per cent Of stock
values. We do not expect to make
changes in the assessments of the lob
bers. They will probably be allowed
to stand as they are"
