have kept on this account, the Board
Of Public Works has only paid out
about $4,000. including the salary of

$4,000 from which to draw, and
which the taxpayers have to pay In
the long run.

This Was Saving Some.

A. g. Mcdonald sawyer for a large
saw mill at Moptbrook, was in the
city Saturday.
Mr.. Mcdonald is good fellow, and
bis visit to Gainesville caused no
special interest, as he comes to pay
his friends a visit regularly and they
are always glad to see him; but I've
brought with him on this trip an iron
bolt about a halfinch I'm diameter,
which was imbedded In a log which
had been placed on the carriage, and
through which the circular passed
with a buzz" as easily as II the mis-
sile had been knot
This bolt was evidently driven into
the tree many years ago, after which
the body grew around II. II was re-
Snarkable that the saw passed through
30 easily. and the sawyer should feel
congratulated that he brought the
plant out without serious mlshap.

The wholesale produce market
seems to be holding well on all classes
of produce except and for this class

prices showing a decline OF cents in

The chicken markets seem to be
stronger for all classes Of stun except
for roosters and ON this branch Of the
poultry trade there is hardly ever de
mand. Turkeys are holding up well
in price and in fairly good demand,
with some call for geese. Ducks al
ways find ready sale with prices
quoted at nominally steady figures.
