SOME AUTOS IN THIS STATE

Florida certainly has some auto
mobiles, and the number is increas-
ing very rapidly, much more so than
la year or tow ago. An Ocala man
received his license number for his
car, dated Aug. 23rd, and it was
los, 440, showing that many licensed
cars in the state. Less than three
years ago the number was under
three thousand, but all the cars in
the state were not licensed then. as
the law was not as stricly enforced
as now. Even now there are prob
ably three thousand unlicensed cars,
those in the hands of agents and
private owners who have not been in
a hurry to get a license from ITALIA
hassee. One is appalled, at the sum
OF money represented by the value of
the cars already licensed, when at a
valuation of $1,000 each, which is
under the average, the sum would
reach 100000. Of these, if
we are correctly informed, Marion
county has over 800 cars.

been selected as the time for hold
ing the printers cost congress in this
city.
Mr.. Harry L. Brown, of ST Angus

The program as arranged by the
local committee is as follows:
Thursday, November 13-After-
noon, organization of cost congress ;
evening, attend the boosters meet
ing Of the Marion County Board of

welcome and responses will be deliv-
cred by prominent men of the city

tee in charge). Friday evening,
luncheon and smoker at the Harring-
ton Hall hotel under the auspices of

Jacksonville had a monopoly of

that he lives in Jacksonville, nor is
