Spring Exhibition.
The Washington Automobile Dealers
Association viii have q show here this
spring. A few months ago the local
dealers wrote to the National Associa
ton OF Automobile Manufacturers for
their permission 10 hold the show The
request was refused. en- the grounds tina,
the association had already given per-
mission to two cities to hold automobile
shows. one in New York aud the other
in Chicago and that IL was not deemed
advisable 10 allow more than the two
shows this year.
The manufactures who are members
Of the National Association are under q
$500 bond not 20 hold any show IN any
city but the ones sanctioned by the Va
tional Association.
The dealers in Washington. however.
think that they should have a show. and
therefore they conferred with each ether
and have formed the Washington Auto
mobile Dealers Association. and will give
an exhibition some time during the month
Of April
The National Capital Automobile Club
Of which Lieut.. Gen. Nelson 4. Miles is
president. passed resolutions few days
ago expressing satisfaction at the indie
pendent action taken By the dealers and
the hope that il would be a grand success.

@ Mr.. Robt. Bowden and sister paid
Misses Lille and Maggie Lancaster
a pleasant call last Sunday, return
inc home to your city in the even
ing.
We are all looking for our Rural
Delivery, or free mail delivery to
begin some time in December. 1t
will come direct from Pikevllle and
will be known as Rural No. 8.
A GREAT many of our farmers out
here are posting their lands. Some
Of the farmers say they have come
verv near getting shot by reckless
hunters who come right up to their
homes to shoot quail. We think the
birds should have a longer time to
raise. as they are getting very scarce
in our section.
