All the mills on the Southside were
forced TO suspend operations yesterday

stream brought down scores Of pumpkins,
watermelons. and the like from the
washed low grounds OF farms on the
James, and all day men and boys were
engaged in row-boats securing these
tribes as they foated with the current.
The capture OF so many pumpkins seemed
to particularly amuso over one hundred
spectators. who sat OH the banks and
Mayos bridge and saw the men and boys
in boats reap a harvest.
