along North Union street and Cherry,
could be seen representatives of the cler-
ical, legal, medical and other professions,
clerks, bookkeepers, men OF leisure, etc.,
etc., to the number of forty or more,
armed with picks and spades, working
with zeal that would surprise profess
sional road members. Really, some Of
them did so well in their new employ
ment as to suggest the thought that they
had made mistake when they chose
other means of obtaining livelihood.
We suggest that they be regularly en-
ployed on the streets next season. So
unusual an event led TO the taking of a
photograph of the scene by one of our
amateur artists.
