Old Shop Tools.

Until few days ago there were
in use in The Times shop an old
mallet and planer. These two
tools have been in use here about

were used by his older brother
when he first came here, and add

A Prominent Road Man.

PUTNAM county may not be first of
the counties of the state in road i'm
provements, but it is among the first
in material for good roads as well as
in the man for pushing the work in
the state. Mr.. Wylie of Interlachen
has developed into high grade hard
road expert, and the work he is doing
all over Florida at the present time is
resulting in enthusiastic movements
for good roads everywhere.
Last week he was in Gainesville,
and the Gainesville Sun had the
following concerning him:
-. H. Wylie of Interlachen passed
through the city Thursday en- route
to jacksonville, where he goes in the
interest of some road. building mater
lal in Putnam county, near his home
and from which the Palatka-Inter-
lachen road is now being constructed.
Mr.. Wylie states that this mate
rial, which is a mixture of clay and
gravel of exactly the natural con-
sistency, abOunds in the vicinity Of
his home and throughout West Put
nam in unlimited quantities, and
that a test has proved it to be among
the best bodybuilding materials in
the South. He is very enthusiastic
and will present the mater before the
County Commissioners of Alachua
county within the next few days.
Mr.. Wylie is one of the most en-
thusiastic good-roads advocates in
this section of the state"

Mahara's TroubadourS.

Mahara's Troubadours will be
the attraction at the Howell Theater
tomorrow Saturday night, and the
advance sale of seats gives promise
of a big house. Manager Kalbtield
desires us to say that for the occasion
of this entertainment he will reserve
all the gallery and one-half of the
lower floor for colored people. The
seats will be 50, Is, Sl,O0.
The company played in Pensacola
Monday night, and the Journal of
that city says of the performance:
"Mahara's Big Minstrels' was the
attraction at the opera house last
night, and appeared to please fair
sized audience.
The performers. all of them col
ored, were better than the average
aggregation OF negro MINISTRIES, and
we're somewhat of a novelty, mas
much as the soloists aud interlocutor
We're women.
THE majority of the songs and
jokes were new, and the performance
as a whole was clean, snappy and en-
tertaining.
"A notable feature of the show is
the lack of vulgarity that sometimes
creeps into minstrel shows. The
company accomplished well its pur-
pose of pleasing the audience"
