Fhe road machinery of the United
etes government, department of road
inquiry, which was consigned several
ekys ago from Beaver Dam, Va, TO
3ainesville, has arrived, and'is now in
enc yards of the Atlantic Coast Line,
awaiting the arrival Of Government
Ekpert w. L. Spoon, who has been de-
sailed to superintend the constructing
the mile of object lesson road in Ala
ehua county.
The machinery occupies two i'm
mense fiat cars, and comprises a trac-
ton engine, roller, crusher, scraper
ADD other machinery necessary to the
making of good roads. 1t will demon
ssfhte to the people Of Alachua county
not only what material TO employ in
tie construction Of their public high
ways, but also the class, weight and
nature of machinery to be used.
The official records Of the Board of
County Commissioners at their meet
ing in December OF the past year, when
the order was made that the sum Of
900 be appropriated to defray the
coenty's proportion OF expense in the
eonstruction of this mile of sample

Colonel Spoon, who is practical
road-builder, has been in the employ
81 re government in this capacity for
inany years. He is so well versed in
"a occupation that he can, by merely
pking up stone or Sny other SUBJ
sf4nce, determine whether IL would be
spiled for bodybuilding. He paid
Aaehua county high compliment
when be was here few weeks ago Sc

ibis county contained as fine road
hailding material as could be found in

CHRISTMAS TREE FEATURE.
Dancing Dolls Above Parlor Decor.
alton Produces Pretty Effect
for Holiday.

Dancing Christmas fairies always en-
nance the children's delight in the
Christmas tree, and once made can ba
used year after year, says Woman'a
Home Companion. Buy up a dozen or
more of five and ten-cent dolls, and to
add to the variety have among the mum.
Der some Japanese and colored dolls.
Dress these to represent fairies in bright
hues of spangled gauze, tarlatan or It's
sue paper, and literally sprinkle their
hair and garments with diamond-dust
powder. Each doll should be provided
with a dainty pair of fairy wings made
from spangled tissue paper and fastened
to the body by means of concealed wires.
These wires should be coiled to obtain
motion in the wings, and nothing better
a be used than the fine spiral coils
that come out of worn-out. unrestricted
brooms. The least motion will set this
spiral to quivering, causing the wings
to move as if in flight. In like name
use the spiral wire to attach the dolls in
lowering positions over and around the
tree. The effect is magical; every foot
step causes jar enough to start the dolls
dancing and circling above ard around
the tree, as if invisible fairies Of the air
had come down to Join him in the

"Well. perhaps a dozen; the rest you

Mr.. Ditbs, blankly, and assuming an

On the Friday he went to the bank,
feeling pretty cheap, opened an &C

the manager for sufficient immediate
accommodation to settle up with Mrs,

with so much good humor that they,
one and all, regretted their suspicious

of $40 and more-a thing entirely
against my rules and a special favor
to yourself. And then you come here
on Christmas eve and talk about Z

deadly calm: 'I1l wait till Friday at
noon, and If you haven't settled up
by then I'll put you in the court; and
you may put that in your pipe and
smoke it! Good night"
Again Jack passed into the snow
clad street, where a boy who had been
playfully lurking behind a lamp post
flung a SNOWFALL at him with such dex-
terity that it knocked his hat off. The
happy child ran away, and Jack in a
fury ran after him, and fell aver.

The prospects of his Christmas were
beginning to be a little gloomy. aha!

OF he started again, looking dingier
than ever, for his hat was dented, and
the snow and dust had stained his
coat.
