Demand for Automobiles.

An idea of the immense demand
this season for automobiles is given
IN the orders sent by one firm to
one factory in the last sixty days.
A San Francisco firm has ordered
another train load, making the third,
seven hundred cars in sixty days.
The total retail value of these cars
foots up to $S30,625.00. Just think
OF 1t. One dealer in one line of
cars, In one city, in sixty days TAX
INC more than three-quarters of a
million dollars worth of machines.
Were this firm the only dealer
there, and were this the only car
made, it would be an immense bust
ness even then. But when we think
that there are many other firms and
other cars In this same territory,
we can only wonder what the
world is coming to.
In this city our local dealers are
active. One of them received a car
load of automobiles Tuesday, and has
orders for several more that are due
here for April LIST. Perhaps in
proportion to our size, this is as big
as is done in SanFrancisco.

of building, or pay for a school
house, or repairing the same, as a
majority of the qualified voters of
the district shall deem proper: Pro-
yided, the tax so levied by vote
shall in no case, in any one year,
exceed fifty cents on each 800 worth
of taxable property"
The "Franking Privilege was hit
a good whack by this editor. He
says: "Some twelve or thirteen bags
of mail matter, weighing upwards of
thirteen hundred pounds, all going
to Mr.. Senator Borland of Arkansas
under his own frank, was sent from
Louisville on the mail boat going
south. The postage on this single
lot of books, etc., which this honor
able Senator has franked to him
self, would amount to two or three
hundred dollars, so the people can
seen the manner in which Uncle
Sam is made to bleed by those who
are the foremost in crying out
against the irregularities of the
mails. Such abuses as these ought
to stimulate the people to demand
that the franking privilege be taken
away together"
This old paper conveys the infor-
nation that 'tMarshall County con-
tains 1920 acres of swamp lands,
according to the report made to the
Governor.
Marshall county, according to
the late census, contained 5,348 In
habitants. Don't think us greedy
friends, but oughtn't we to have, al
least 700 subscribers in crowd
like that"
The town ordinances that are pub
lished relate to removing all OBJ
jectionable matter from barns
stables, out buildings, and other
places, the street commissioner to
report on the subject. The firing OF
guns and pistols is prohibited. as is
ball-playing and horse racing in the
town. The marshal is required tc
examine buildings and see that there
is no menace from fire. Specifca-
tions are given requiring sidewalks

to find some way to produce this
commodity at a price that will make
it available.
We are up against it. Plank for
road building does not exist now.
Suitable gravel cannot be found in
sufficient quantity, does not last long
for heavy service, and must 60 for
side roads. Crushed stone, while
better, perhaps, than gravel, lacks
much of being the material for an
enduring road. Is a brick road
practical for Marshall county?

A number of business and profes-
