A November Dny Under tho Sbadow of the Ozarks. YOUNG MEN AND MAIDENS FAIR And the Way They Enjoy Themselves At Ozark—The Social and 1 Games - ame of Snap— g and Laugh Life in the Soutn OZARK, Ark., Dec. 4.—[Corrospond- ence of THe Bre.]-One bright morn- ing inthe last weck in November, in response to an wrgent invitation, I got Ik and made prepar pate in the labor and festivities of a COTTON PICKING. The cotton field was in the possession of young folks of hoth sexes when I ar- rived, About ten or fifteen giri an equal number of young men w present. Some I had met before and some I had not. But it mattered little. If a stranger knows a single person in a crowd in this country it ncts as a pass- port into the good fellowship of the others, Therefore, amid much laughter and many sly jo on the part of the others, I shook hands all around, fastened the string of my sack around my waist, ted my girl and prepared to ¢ They had chosen sides before my arrival. with the under- standing that the losers would treat the winners to four pounds of candy. After ashort but friendly squabble it was tled that I should labor with John Jeems’ party. Thisled to more com- plications, because 1 had selected a girl belonging to tho opposite side. AsT "he sack for both, T was d to search for another part- ner. This matter was readjusted without any serious heart pangs and sickers resumed work in earnest. is_customary to pick in couples. take a row together »s'n row each, The pick- ers gonerally keep in line for an hour or two, singing songs, telling stories, now and then breanking out in shouts of laughter when o good joke would be t the expense of & member of the on this occasion we followed tablished custom. Soon, however the couples began to separate and each young man directed his attention and pnversation to his own helper exclu- sively. Ocousionally they would stop and t a fow moments change soul- searching glances, talk about trifles, then resume work. These southern girls possess a peculiar mugnetism that makes them singularly fascinating. They are abundantly blessed with the charms of splendid physical develop- ment, and upon no occasion do they ap- pear to a better advantage than at cot- ton-picking. The cotton plant is ahout three [feet high and of a spreading nature. Balls can be found on most of the branches or stems, The balls are about the size of a walnut. As they open the cotton bursts out into a wad nearly as large as an ordinary apple. The balls nearest the ground open first. As the cotton does not all comwe out at once it must be gone over several times during the cot- ton picking season. IFrom the above it will beseen that the pickers ave obliged to work in a stooping position. After our racks were filled the cotton was emptied 1nto large ba end of the rooms. The | respective parties saw that ghed and put into the pows. It was rd work to be sure, but the pleasant company, the prospect of a fine dinner and a rollicking social in the evening was enough to sustain a fellow’s courage. The house where dinner was served was a three-room log cabin with low door and scanty furniture. While the young men congregated in the yard, discussed politic: and negotiated trades of various sorts, the ladies sat on the porch or steps and conve in a tantalizing undertone. ms Lo particis id re [the wd of a small hand lamp with no chimney some -of the giris were letting down their bangs in front of n small pecked lookinge They would toss the papers into :‘hv- re-place, then ete their tollet-making by Qipping a small rag into a little white box and rubbing it over their faces. The oldest daughter was preparing lunch. ~ She put the te kettle on the sticks of wood in the fir place and after the water was heated poured it into the coffec-pot. Conl- were raked out in front and the coffee pot placed on thom. The supper was served cold, excepting coffee, and seemed to have been improved from the remnants of the dinner. At any rato, it was disposed of with a keen relish. The hot coffee had arev 7 offect upon the younyg folks, and preparations were gpecdily made for the trip to the scene of = not due for many hours, but the furnished enough light to make t safe and comfor able. After a walk of over ahalf- hour’s duration, through the timbe along the public road, foot-paths across small stroams of water and ravin we came in sight of the house. It was a small cabin of two rooms. The larger one, 16x16 feet, was thrown open to the merry- mak It contained no furniture besides a small stand and a few chairs. The room warmed by the over- prosont fireplace. Old newspapers pasted on the walls served the purpose of wall paper. A number of home-made mottoes, with letters of mlnvndm‘mp'-r, and little ornements manufactured from pastboard covered with tin foil off of tobacco were hung on the wall over the fireboard. Instead of a ceiling, cross beams and rafters of unhewed timbers could be seen ovor-head. Through the spaces between the rafts shingles split from native timber were visible. About twenty-five people were assem- bled in the roomw The sex emed to be equalty divided. As the chairs were scarce some of the seats were compelled to hold up several young ladies. Of course the gentlemen stood up. The young folks sang o few songs, and,to say the least, the music was excelle Then came the games. To give even an outline: of all of the games would require 180 much space. Somo of them introduced singing while others bore a close resemblance to dancing. As they were similar in many respects a deserip- tion of one of the most popular ones will give some idea of Lheu- general tenor. Itis called “‘snap.” A~ young man and a young woman stand in the middle of the room facing one an- other and holding each other’s hands while the remainder of the party take places around the walls. Another young man starts aound these two. He snaps his fingers at a girl and she chases him around the other couple until he is eaught. Tho young man who is caught then takos the place of the young man in the middle of the floor, who returns to the crowd. A young lady is thus left alone. She Snapsa young man, and after being caught relicves the fist young woman, “This game, in conjunction with a num- ber of other very noisy and lively sne was played at the social under consider- ation. A hearty good fellowship pre- vailed throughout the entire evening, and the participants seemed to=enjoy the sport immensely,in spite of the The moon hard labor of the da The| yers started for their homes about 11 o’clock.
