Inquiries Coming In Every

"Poople generally. and particular
ly people in Mt Vernon, are buying
houses this year" Is the statement of
one OF the prominent real estate men
today whose office is on the public
square "Of course. there is great
demand for houses to rent. but the
feature of local real estate this year
is the buying desire evidenced on
all sides. The largest demand Is for
medium priced houses, the prices
ranging from $1,000 to $4,000. And
the fine thing about It is that the
buyers have faith in the present

jority were renting. and giving no

The agent stated further that real
estate men of Mt. Vernon were pre-
pared to furnish these men with
homes N the average price OF from
$4,000 to $4,000, and would be able to
supply the demand for quite some
time. This is encouraging news in
the face Of the dearth of houses in

The melee between the Mounts

Owing to the treatment received

In the first place. the Crestline
bunch imported talent for the game
one player coming from Fort Wayne

ball quintet. the Gallon lambs.
Despite the tripping and the un-
necessary rough play, up until within
three minutes ofythe end Of the first
half the Mounts led the game, with
the score standing at . to 2 in their
favor. Then the referee, who was
also an importation from Gallon, ac
cording to information reaching here
from several sources. began to call
fouls on the Mounts, series of ten
straights before the end of the first
half The Mounts feel that with this
referees assistance they were en-
abled to make basketball history as
far as fouling Is concerned. in this
contest with Crestline. 'Davy" Jones,
who has played with the Mounts for
years and who has been in every
good basketball town in the state,
said that the team received the worst
treatment in Crestlne Saturday
night that had ever been handed out
to the boys since they started to play
the game. The crowd was rough and
wild with their fists and tongues, and
rushed into the center of the playing
floor whenever they, got excited and
delayed the game until they had sat

most uncourteous and II is doubtful
whether the tealp~,Qf Crestline will
ever be able to schedule a game out

Saturday evening, really making the
contest 4 crude melee rather than a

The girls team of the willard high

team requested that the Crestline
school secure a new referee. The

ANNUAL MEETING or BOARD or
TRADE

| The annual meeting of the Marion
County Board of Trade will be held
on Thursday night, January %, at s
O'Clock. At this meeting will take
place the election of officers, reading
of the reports on the work of the or
ganization during the past year, and
plans will be made for the year 1920.
The coming year promises to be one of
the biggest years that Florida has ever
known, and the secretary of the Board
| of Trade says that plans should be
made accordingly The membership
of the organization should be increas-
| ed, says the secretary, and every eff
fort made to put the trade body on
solid financial footing.
The members of the Board of Trade
should attend the annual meeting, for
the purpose of finding out what the
Organization has been doing Most of
the work of the trade body has been
given publicity in the newspapers dur
ing the year but much is forgotten
from month to month and it is impor-
tant that the work be reviewed. The
question that is asked of all CONNER
cial organizations is: What has It
ever done to justify it's existance?
The annual report of the secretary
will show that the Board of Trade
has more than justified its existance
during 1919 The organization has
been inadequately financed, but, in
spite of having to stay within the linn
it's of too small capital to work with,
good results have been obtained.
When the organization began the year
1919 the world war had just ended.
The city and county were seriously az
fected by the war The future was
uncertain. But as the months have
passed a remarkable change has taken
place. This has been especially
notable in Ocala. An atmosphere of
depression has been followed by activi-
| ty and in regaining of confidence. In
the spring of 1919 there were many
vacant houses and stores in the city.
At present a vacancy is a rare thing.
The year 1920 opens with building
activity brought about by lack of
housing facilities. The real estate Is
again active. There is more building
going on than Ocala has known for
some time. A significant fact is that
a large part of this building is in the
| business district.
This winter has seen a Marion coun.
ty hog win grand championship at the
International Live Stock show, in
Chicago This is a most important and
a most significant thing.
Never have Ocala and Marion coun.
ty had a better opportunity than that
with which they are now faced" says
