GEORGETOWN after
The TAX DODGERS

GEORGETOWN, Aug l7.-Finding a
number of cases where the owners Of
property have turned in the values the
same as previous assessments, the as

a warning. Under the new assessment
law, every property owner is furnished
with a blank upon which he values his
own property. Many farmers-includ.
ing some very prominent citizens-have
simply copied the old assessment, which
was notoriously low. and turned the
blanks in. Not only will the board
prosecute those who make false returns
and copy from the old assessment FIG.
ures but they also viii prosecute those
who give such advice When the an.
nouncement was made there was sud
den scuny among prominent men 70 re-
call their previous blanks.

Schoolmasters' Club Meet

Saturday, the 18th inst, the
Schoolmasters' Club met here for
the purpose of formulating plans
and fixing a date of the meeting
at which will be decided the
time and place of the next Field
Day exercises.
Professor ]. C. Meadows, OF
Amory, president. was on hand.
while Prof. A. L. Burdine, OF
Verona. the secretary, was there
in the discharge of his duties.
All of the schools holding mem
berships in the organization were
represented.
This organization of the vari-
GUS schools in Northeast Missis-
sippi for the purpose of friendly
contests in the various literary
branches, in music and in ath-
letics has become very popular
and each year finds an increased
number of schools in the organ
ization. The superintendent
are asking for admission. and
, upon meeting the requirements
they are accepted.
The meeting next spring will
no doubt be one of greatest IL
terest since the organization of
the club. 1t will bring together
possibly ten thousand people and
it will require great preparation
to meet the demands of the day.
Prof. Burdine, of the Verona
High School, has been selected
as the Field Secretary and will
be in active charge of the work
of preparation for the meet. The
question of the date will be de-
cided on January Is, 1916, at a
meeting of the members of the
club.
Tupelo is the logical point for
these meetings and should be
selected as q permanent meeting
place. We have the ground for
the field sports convenient to the
railroad station; we have COM
modious buildings with ample
room to accommodate the literary
and musical contests and besides
we are so located in the district
that the railroads can handle the
crowd to and from Tupelo better
+than any other point in the dis
strict. Since it is a child's day
this fact should be taken into
consideration. The little fellows
tcan be brought here on the early
trains and returned home by
bedtime. The railroads should
slend their influence TO having
Sthis meeting right here.

JpELo MISS FRIDAY, DECEMBER II, 1915
Y. M. C. A. Notes

One by one the Y. M. G.. A..
activities are getting organized.
The gymnasium work among the
men and boys is now well under
way. There is more enthusiasm
among the young business men
than in any other class. The
coming Turkey League" with
its contests in attendance, volley
ball and basket ball calls for the
best efforts a fellow can put
forth. hence it is just the thing
that live young men want. The
turkey dinner at the finish is
also an event to be enjoyably an
ticipated.
The boys classes in the gym"
are slowly getting more in
teresting. AS soon as the boys
cabinet is organized, a worth
while program of boys work will
be outlined and every boy in
town should want to have his
share of the work and play of
the association. The boys will
have two turkey leagues similar
to the one the young business
men are so much interested in.
There is some talk of organiz-
ing volley ball league among
the business men of the town.
This is the favorite pastime
among the business men OF the
larger cities and its value as rec
reation and exercise is untold.
This league may develop in the
near future and it should interest
every business man in town. The
fat man. the lean man, the long
man, the short man, the rich
man, the poor man, all need ex-
ercise and fun and the Y. M. c.
A. gym" is the best place to
get it.
Vesper services are held each
evening in the building. 1t is
hoped to make this short service
very helpful.
The Y. M. C. A. is the natural
center of activity of the commu-
nifty. President Wilson says:
"You can judge the modern
community blythe amount of in
terest it takes in its Y. M. G.
A." The people of Tupelo are
awakening to the great good that
can be done by this organization
and are soon going to have a
place that they will be proud OF.
Visitors are welcome to the build
ing at all times. SECRETARY.
