MUST HAVE 1921 AUTO
TAG BY JANUARY THE 1ST
No Days of Grace Will Be Given by
The Officials Next Year.

Owners of automobiles, including
fivvers, may as we'll understand now
as later that the state will not allow
any days of grace in the purchase of
automobile tags for 1921. Instructions
have been issued from the Office of the
secretary of state to the effect that
tags for automobiles must be on the
cars in Georgia by the first of jan
uary.
This notice is sent out in order that
all who want to drive their cars on
January first or thereafter must have
tags. At Dawson applications are in
the hands of Sheriff Woods, and the
owners of motor vehicles who want
to get prompt service must not wait
until the last day and then expect the
secretary of state to furnish tags on
the day the application is received.
Procrastination is fault thatImany
are guilty of. 1t may cost them dear
if they operate car after December
31st without a tag. Now is the time
to go to the sheriff and get blank.

from the widely scattered people
who follow the same calling.
Yet how difficult it often is to get
people to give even y small fraction
OF their valuable time to public
