They are making roads Of sawdust
mixed with earth on new plan in
Leon county, Fla. Two ridges of earth
are thrown up with road machine at
the required width from each other,
and the space between is filled with
six inch bed Of sawdust. This is fol-
lowed with smaller machine, which
plows up and mixes the earth with tho
sawdust This makes a roadbed on
which the tires Of the heaviest loaded
vehicles make no impression. The
contractor, G. II. Averitt. has kept an
accurate account OF expenses in con-
nection with this section OF sawdust
and earth road and says the cost ag-
gregates $2o7 mile, showing it to be
about the cheapest road material in
use.
1t may be suggested that sawdust Is
not durable material, but the Florida
True Democrat meets this objection
with the statement that one or two
such roads were constructed in south
Georgia county twenty years ago and
are still in good condition, showing it's
durability. As is well known, Leon
county soil is clayey.

cause of these ailments these weak

no doubt, clearly explains why the

The watch was recovered ana no

the hope of dcterring her from FUR

BOY STRUCK BY FALLING ICE
Little Son of DIR. Ferguson Had Close
Call. Buried Beneath Falling Ice.
Injuries Not Serious.

Teddy Ferguson had narrow escape
from serious injury, il not death, last
Saturday. He was sent to the store OF
G.. w. Tyler & Co. on an errand and not
finding his uncle, Mr.. Tyler, in the store
passed out through The rear of the store
to look for him. He saw an immense
mass of ice hanging from the caves of
the shed in the rear of the Dickerhooff
store and, boy fashion, walked up and
touched it. The huge mass fell with a
crash, burying Teddy beneath it. l.. e..
Shepard, who was in the store at the
time was attracted to the spot by the
falling ice and the cries of the boy and
carried him at once to Dr.. Hoyts Office,
where it was found that be had sustain
ed badly sprained back, scalp wound
and other bruises He is getting along
nicely, however, and will probably be
able to be out again soon. No serious
results are anticipated as he can now
walk little with the aid Of a cane.
1t was indeed a close call. The mass
of ice would weigh at least 500 pounds
aud had it struck the boy fairly the re-
suit would undoubtedly have been Sc
rious.
