THE GAINESVILLE NEWS, WEDNESDAY JUNE 24, 1902,
ed to preserved© state’s railroad
property to her people before the
same is eutirely swamped.
It is true that there is yet an
18 year lease on the W. & A. rail
road, but now is the time to stay
the waste that is not only threat
ened but is actually taking place.
With these . four parallel lines
enumerated, and the terminals at
both ends destroyed, what will the
property at the end of the lease be
worth? No one will want it for
it has been shorn of it’s value.
Able men m the legislature ought
to and woulc( find a remedy for;
these impending dangers.
We have each men in our coun
ty. Will our people put them at |
the helm?

I The lace is imported and very much
resembles the Maltese lace in char
acter. A pretty sofa cushion is
made of two squares of linen (14 by
14 inches), ornamented at the four
Corners on either side, with: a de
sign in “cut; work” embroidery; a
broad insertion of lace unites the
two squares, the handsome crimson
brocade of the cushion being reveal
ed through the lace.
The New Centerpieces.
Centerpieces and doilies are most-
! ly lace trimmed this season, not
with renaissance laee, however, as
has been the case now these many
seasons. Some very fine pieces of
the renaissance are still to be found
in which there are noticeably few
of the rings which made that lace
so heavy. The Austrian handmade
lace, known as crepon, has almost
completely usurped its place. There
are also some centerpieces decorated
tvith white Irish embroidery and
some made of Chinese grass linen,
embroidered in the rose, dragon
and cherry blossom designs that
have long been familiar on fans and
other trophies of the orient. Some
of the grass linen pieces have the
white groimd, with blue or white
embroidery of white. There are !
scarfs as well as centerpieces in
^uese imDortations.

A Very Delicate Souvenir.
A correspondent of the Boston
Journal tells of a certain delicate
souvenir owned by a resident of
Washington, which was exhibited
by its proud owner. It was a gold
ring made of the fillings of the
teeth of his. dead wife. Whether
the teeth were removed after death
and cracked like butternuts to se
cure the gold or whether the gold
was simply chiseled out, leaving the
teeth in the jaw, deponent cannot
state. The association seemed to
be pleasant, whatever the process
