PREACHERS CAUGHT A SHARK
Party of Ministers, Including Rev. 0.
F. Cook, Spent Pleasant Time At
Warsaw and Made Big Haul.

This item from the Savannah News
will be of local interest, as Rev. o..
F. Cook of Dawson was one OF the
party, who enjoyed such full meas
ure of tishermen's luck:
The Methodist ministers who, with
their families, have been enjoying an
outing on Warsaw Island for the last
ten days. have broken camp and are
back in the harness with thick coat
of sunburn. They had great time,
caught wagon load Of fish and a
shark The shark story sounds tishy,
it's true, but it is supported by a
burden of statements of creditable
witnesses.
Those who composed the party were
Rev. and Mrs. ]. A. Smith and two
children of Savannah, Rev. Bascom
Anthony of Macon, Rev. O. f. Cook
of Dawson, Rev. and Mrs. L. D. Ellis
and two children of Guyton, Rev. and
Mrs. Guy ID. Moses and three children
of Guyton and Rev. J. w. Mcdonald
of Valdosta. They lived in the pavil-
ion and looked after their own com
forts. The party broke up Friday
afternoon, and the members all went
directly to their respective homes to
get ready for Sundays service.
The fishing party are proud of the
shark story they are telling, because
they were fishing for shark and be-
cause the story is really true one.

UP GO ASSESSMENTS,
Tax Values Say Former Appraise-
ments Are too Small:

ments Are too Small:
The board of city tax assessors,
who have been in session for the past
ten days, have made an appreciable
raise in the valuation of property.
They say that only about sixty per
cent of the real worth of taxable
values has heretofore been returned
and insist that all property shall be
given in on a basis of three-fourths
value.
The effect of this action will be to
largely increase the taxable values of
the city, without, in all probability,
raising the tax assessment, which
might otherwise have to be made
greater. The assessors will probably
finish up their work tomorrow. Their
figures will show splendid gain in
the taxable property of Dawson.
