Held i'm Paatka

In the city of Orlando Wednesday

ton of the Florida State Association

business-like and harmonious.

elected president, and Mr.. J. V. Hart,
secretary of the Palatka chamber of
commerce temporary secretary until
q permanent secretary is elected by
the executive committee. The constitu-

association shall be made up of rep
resentatives from any counties that
desire to join from east of the Su-
vance river and south of the Georgia
line. The next meeting of the asso-
citation will be held in Palatka, the
date to be set by the executive COM
mittee. The executive committee will
be composed OF a vice president from
each county. to be chosen by the
counties. Arrangements will be made
for the choosing of these vice presi-
dents.
The meeting was harmonious and
pleasant. There was no discordant
dispute, but every evidence that the
public spirit that melted the move
ment was yet alive and busy.
The Ocala delegation mostly left in
cars early Wednesday morning, tho
two or three parties went on the day
before. Some struggled, but a rather
imposing caravan of fifteen well-filled
autos reached Orlando in column
about 1910 p. M, and paraded thru
the streets, passing around Lake Lu-
cerne, and parking a short distance
from the courthouse Secretary ChazAl
attended luncheon with several men,
bers of the State Secretaries Associa-
ton, while the other delegates patron
ized the excellent hotels and restau,
rants. After dinner, a number of the
ladies in the Ocala party went to in
spect the Orlando shopwindows, which
were we'll filled and tastefully dis,
played. Meanwhile the men went t.
