THE last two weeks of the session OF

The last two weeks of the session Of
the legislature will have to crowd in a
good deal of work to come up to the
public's expectation of it, Thus far it
has not turned out very much in the
line of popular legislation that was
promised at the beginning of the ses-
sion. Some very much needed laws
are. yet hanging fire. in the commit
tees, and unless there is an opening up
and disposition to get down to bust
ness the session will be disappoint-
ment to the people.

David Carvalho, of the firm of Carvalho
& Grimes, rich prospectors of Georgia, has
been in the hills about Shepherdstown for
the past three weeks prospecting for cop
per, and if reports which have leaked out
are TO be believed he has made strike.
1t is said he has found the ore in paying
quantities and has already secured an OPP
ton on a body of land. Mr.. Carvalho re-
fuses to say where he has located the cop
per, as. he wishes to lease an adjoining
tract before he opens mine. He says he
expects to put 20 men to work within the
next week or two if he gets his other
lease, and has already ordered the lumber
for the necessary buildings. He says he
hopes to give employment TO a large
number of men within few months.

wealth, for the exhibition of the progress
it has made during the past quarter of a
century in agriculture, in mining, in manu-
features and kindred industries, and in ed

tia enterprise for the obtainment of that
financial aid from the North and East

or water, but some of it was not soiled at
all. The amount of insurance that he
had on his stock was $500.

these parts now. Anyone taking a wasN

scattered about in camp and enjoying
themselves immensely.
They generally form a clique and or
ganize camp. sometimes numbering
about fifteen knights of the dusty roads.
In the summer time every Sunday a
gang of them get together. scrape up
their pennies, purchase a key Of beer and
dispose OF it along the Tuscarora.
They seem to take to the meadows on
Mr.. Eichelberger's farm along the rail-
road. This summer Mr.. Eichelberger
has collected no less than fifteen kegs off
the meadow and every Sunday the usual
gang can be seen there.
In the winter time they use soup instead
of beer. Every Sunday they borrow a
kettle from one of the neighbors and have
weekly feast. They build big fire and
hang the kettle over it on big sticks and
the whole camp joins in the feast. Then
there is "hot time" in "Hobotown.
