Mr.. Stovall was born in Elizabeth
town, KY, January 4, 1869, the son of
Jasper and Eliza (Duncan) Stovall.
Left an orphan at the age of five, he
spent the years of his early youth
upon a farm, meanwhile attending the
public schools of his native town, and
obtaining the rudiments of education.
In 1886, a beardless boy of seventeen,
he moved to Florida, and in casting
about for a sphere in which his new
fellow citizens should know him, land

This venture seemed to striks a popu-
lar chord, but a more inviting field
soon offered in Tampa, just beginning
to assume some promise of future
commercial Importance. The Polk
County News was sacrificed to the
demands for a more ambitious envir-

plant to the Gateway of the Gulf"
In 1893 the Tampa Tribune was
born. The development and advance
ment of The Tribune have been in
pace with the development and ad-
vancement of Tampa. From an old
style "blanket-sheet," with out-of-date
equipment and limited circulation, it
has become, in eight years, the lead
ing journal of Florida, with, modern
plant, machine composition, first
class news service, and occupying the
influential and important position of
the only morning paper in south Flor
idt. The Tribune is now published
by stock company, of which Mr..
Stovall is president and general man
ager, and the majority stakeholder.
It's circulation fully covers the south
