" , .Our town grows as quiet as when, earlier in the season,, (lit pleasure seekers went to the woods and coast for rest ai d recreation. ' But now they a-e on a different errand bent, their search is not now for , pleasure but the almighty dollar. ,. And it seems a pity that people j who are surrounded by all the lux uries of life should don their old clothes atid fiil to overflowing the already full hop yards, thus debar ing poorer and worthier people of the opportunity of making a few extra dollars to aid them ia the purchase of.the necessary things of hie. I Many a family earn their spend-j ing money by those few weeks in ! the hop yards. Student:! earn their books. Mothers earn a few little things for the children, girls have a few more little pleasures, and the small boy adds to his mother's" ' hoard. But with the yards crowded with the so-called aristocrats of our city our worthy poor are cut off from such privileges. It set ms far wiser for those who are well able to have every thing they want without such labor, to withdraw in favor of the less for tunate. Let the bon tons stay at home. Anon. prvallis, Sept. 12.

' At- a meeting of the city counr cil Monday nigh', a lateral sewer was ordered constructed through twohlbcks, . in one of which the Ed Hotningi .residence is situated.

The petition found its way into the council again a couple of months ago, and at the following meeting its construction was recommended Joy tbe sewer committee At : the same time ,a remonstrance appeared and the matter -was laid on -the table. At that time Mr. Berry appeared in the interest of the retnonstrators and argued against the plan. At Mon day night's meeting Mr!Horning appeared before the council and ex plained that his physician had told him , that a five months attack of typhoid fever with which he for merly suffered was caused by im proper drainage in the vicinity. In answer to a question.
