the same as in the other.
The Pickers, most of them, sret to work

sallies. The pickers generally nse small
boxes lit picking ia and these in turn
re emptied into a large sack and when
the sack is full it is weighed and the

We were informed that a hop yard

The pickers are camrxd up and down
the creek Irom the bridge audit is an
ideal camping spot. Tbe river is straight
for about a mils and without rlflles, and
its surface is as quiet as tbe waters of a
lake. Tbe face of nature thereabout is
mirrored therein witb Infinite exactitude.
There was an effort made to get up a
dance. Tbe time was Friday night, tbe
place on the bridge. The fiddle was
there, also tho fiddler, also tbe boys snd
iris, also tbe chaperones. lbey did
manage to go through one quadrille, but

floor smooth enough aud the dance was
abandoned. The county court should
remedy this aod in tbe future have all
bridges in tbe vicinity of hop yards cov

and stock kept off. Bicycles doo t burr.
A candy pull, however was scheduled
