The weather is quite pleasant. and
the ladies can dispense with their
fans.
The teacher of the band seems to
understand music well, if we have
any judgment in that direction.
There was quite an excitement on
the street on Monday, over the frac-
tious caprices of a mare belonging to
J.. r. Schilling. The animal from a
very natural cause reared and re-
fused to pull, thus collecting a large
crowd about her. Many suggestions
were offered, some in favor of using
the lash, others of knocking her on
the head but the owner took the wise
plan of using gentle means which
generally succeeds.
We learn that Mrs. Brown, a wild
ow lady, residing near the village is
going to enter suit against one Rich
ard Shrode, for having dragged straw
in a promiscuous heap, instead OF
ricking it, at the time of threshing
wheat, which has been raised on her
farm, Shrode being the cropper. 1t
is said she spoke her mind to him in
unwavering valor. Shrode had bet
ter rick the straw.
DR.. e. B. Hamill and son paid our
village avisit ON Sunday evening
last. The DIR. is looking well, and
we have no doubt but that the cause
can be attributed to an occasional
country drive. We can testify to the
good qualities of his horse, Buck
skin" as an invitation from the doc
tor gave us the extreme pleasure OF
taking a drive with him.
Fortune smiled, and we had the
unexpected pleasure a few days since
of taking a drive with a lady friend,
one who oftentimes in the past, has
assisted us while coming over a dull
lesson, to arrive at that degree OF
perfection required by country school
teachers to save the fiogging that
inevitably followed, should you miss
the successive words. We wish her
future happiness and prosperity, and
thank her kindly.
The question has been asked us so
often if we intend to visit the Cen
tennial, that we are disposed to re-
mark that we will wait until 1876, lat
which time we can probably visit
Philadelphia by going under ground
or through the aerial elements, and
have the pleasure of meeting repre-
sentatives from other planets. Vege-
tation being volunteer all will live
by speculation, work OF any kind be-
ing looked upon as a disgrace, and
downright labor as barbarism. We
are whirling, .,hirling.

We are now enjoying a pleasant

COUNTY COURTSYSTEM.

The Grafton Sentinel says that at
the session of the Democratic State
Executive Committee at that place
the other day, the county court sys-
TEN was discussed among other is
sues pertaining to the campaign.
The conclusion was arrived at, al
most unanimously, was that the sys-
TEN was a failure, and that a better
and cheaper system should be adopt
ed. If the Committee arrived at
such a conclusion, there can be no
doubt that they simply echo the
wishes and opinions of a large ma
jority of the people of the State. The
County Court system has proved a
complete failure, and the people de-
mand, and will have a better and
cheaper system. The Democratic
Convention at Charleston made a
| great mistake in not %incorating into
their platform a resolution in favor
of a better and cheaper system of
county government than the present
expensive and unsatisfactory County
Court. TheRepublicans will no doubt
take advantage Of this oversight
in their Democratic opponents, and
make it inure to their benefit in the
| approaching campaign. The people
ought to make it a test in the selec-
ton of delegates to the Legislature,
and vote for no man who is not in
favor of a constitutional amend
ment ab%olishing the present County
| Court system. If it is continued it
will impoverish every county in the
State. We shall take occasion soon
to give our readers some plain figures
contrasting the expenseo of the Coun-
ty Court and the Supervisor systems,
which we think, will serve to con-
vince those not already satisfied of
the fact, that hundreds of dollars
will be annually saved to the county
by the Supervisor or Commissioner
systems of County government.

DEATH CAPER-
TON.

We regret to chronicle the death
of Sanator Allen Il. Caperton, of
this State, who died suddenly at his
residence in Washington on We'd
desday night. He had been ailing
since last Thursday, but neither his
friends nor physician apprehended
fatal results. The complications of
his disease toward the last were quite
similar to the troubles which ended
in Senator Summers death. The
Senator during hislast moments had
the administering care of his son and
daughter and son-in-law. He was
in the siXty-sixth year of his age.
The remains were taken to Union,
Monroe county, this State, his place
of residence.
Senator Caperton was born near
Union, Monroe county, Virginia,
(now West Virginia), Novem-
Der 81, 1910; attended school in
Virginia, and at Huntsville, Ala
bama, the University Of Virginia,
and Yale College, graduating at the
latter institution in 1889 studied
law with Judge Briscoe G.. Baldwin,
at Staunton, Virginia /; was admit
ted to the bar, and has since prac-
ticed /; was a Director of the James
River and Kanawha Canal !; was for
several years a member of the State
House of Delegates and of the State
Senate ofVirginia,h his last Senatorial
term being from 1859 to 1860 ; was a
member of the State Constitutional
Convention of Virginia in 1861 was
elected by the Legislature of Vir-
ginia a member of the Confederate
States Senate, and served until the
close of the war in 1865 {; took an &C.
tive part, after returning home, in
bringing the fine coal, mineral, tim.
Der and grazing lands of West Vir.
ginia before distant capitalists was
elected to the United States Senate
as a Democrat, to succeed Arthur
|. Foreman and took his seat March
4, 1875. His term of service would
have expired March Sd, 1881.

Dear little laughing sprite you are,
With coral lips and shining hair,
And cheeks of roseat dye,
And voice soft as evening dew,
That rests upon the yiolets blue,
Or zephyrs passing by.
That sweet and interesting smile,
Might sorrow of its pain beguile,
And gently peace impart;
The expression of that soft brown eye,
Might cheek griefs deep reprising sigh,
And cheer the sinking heart.
Sweet child love to see you gay,
And beauteous as the flowers in May,
Like rose and lilies sweet;
And, o May all the fleeing hours
Add grace in soft celestial showers,
To make your life complete.
Laugh and be happy little one,
As through Ines 1owery path you run
BE gentle, pure and kind
Adorn your heart with love and truth,
Drink VISIONS fountain while in youth
To store your growing mind.
May thornless roses strew your way,
Whose rich ~efluyials every day,
Are circling DER your head
And angels from the worlds above,
With heavenly tenderness and love
Keep watch around your bed.

OUR FAIR.

Line Httn annual eXnlDlul0n OF Une
Berkeley County Agricultural Asso-
citation will be ~heldduring the second
week of September, and W. now de-
sire to call special attention to what
we regard as the duty of the people
in regard to it. Rumor has it that
at the Centennial Exhibition Berke-
ley county wheat has been awarded
the prize, and if the rumor proves
correct, it is only an additional rea-
son why our farmers should take
special interest and great pride in
producing at our home fair such pro-
ducts as will maintain their reputa-
tion and attract the attention of the
surrounding country. 1t becomes a
duty, therefore, with the farmer, in
order to advance his interests finan-
cially and otherwise, to exhibit spe-
cimens of his crops and to advance
his prospects by comparing products,
and thereby obtain the very best that
can be obtained. This is equally true
of cattle, fruits and manufactured
articles. We expect therefore to find
our people in this Centennial year
making an increased effort in the line
of exhibits, so as to eclipse all past
fairs. The farmers and mechanics
are expected to do their whole duty
in this matter and the ladies-well,
heretofore they have shown a devo-
tion and a promptitude in their share
of the work that car hardly be eX-
celled, and we know that without
a word from us they will again be
found present with every department
of the household we'll and skillfully
represented, so that Floral Hall will
look even more beautiful than ever,
and will eclipse farther than ever sim
liar departments in the fairs of sur
rounding counties. People come
from a distance to judge us by our
exhibition. Our intelligence, indus
try, enterprise, skill-all, everything
is there represented, and we are crit
icised through and by it. This posi-
tien cannot be ~contradicted. Being
true, what is then your duty men,
women and children :? Plainly to
exercise your most careful thought,
your best judgment, i'll selecting and
in making for exhibition, and with
all add your best wishes and inten-
tions, and encourage by your pres
ence this one of the leading enter
prises in the county. Much has been
done, much more can be done by
joining intellect, heart and hand to-
gether and moving unitedly as one
people, as w all should feel and be,
in making the coming fair worthy of
the Centennial year of our country.
Resolve now to do so, and let moth
ing change or interfere with SO cred
liable a purpose.

~ tHe AS""ofs " Wo Atuepeh0eHI
The divine ecclesiast in charge OF
the Bunker Hill circuit delivered
his usual sermon al Pitzer's Chap
ell last Sabbath and in an afterpiece
he denounced the author of COM
munication which appeared in the
INDEPENDENT, of June 18th, in
terms severe, and has warned the
author particularly that it must
not be repeated. Visions of Der
ringer, raw hides, and the hotel
De Blondel has filtered through
our mind ever since the gentle
man has issued his ultimation.
We are thankful for this ap-
prisal of our eminent danger! and
have come to a realization of the
fact, we are standing on slippery
places,
"Sound the tymble DER Egypt dark sea-,
A narrow escape but yet we are Free"
But the gentleman has made
some assertions that we desire to
reply to, and hope he will be len
lent with us this time promising
to do penance in the future.
He charges us with misrepre-
senting him: In ours of the 18th
we LETT ample room for re~traction
and apologies, but we have no &C.
casion for either now. We find in
the protocol of the 18th we have
charged him with being opposed
20 the singing society. He says
| not, On the other hand, he has great
respect for the %preceptor, and
| wishes the school well, and would
be pleased to see them advance in
| studies, and further, that he or Mr.,
Baine never said anything to the
trustee, or any one else derogatory
of the school.
The former charge made was
an implied one. Now we make
| this a direct and specific one.
The trustee told two gentlemen
of unquestionable veracity that
Mr.. Baine had made the remarks
to HIM used in our former article.
Again if he was friendly to the
school why did he come there to
preach in conflict with Prof. Dix
ons' engagement.and pass through
the aisle of the church and never
notice the professor, who was
standing there ? To the credit and
honor of one of the trustees he was
not willing Tor him to preach. But
the othe. t~runtee, and the learned
theologian came out masters of the
situation, and we had a divine
sermon, this one of the members
told me, and also said his pastor
had not acted right, and that if he
did not make amends he would
neither bear or support him.
In quitting this part we will
say that if the majority of the
school do not say he acted very in
consistently and deserves censure,
then we will say we are wrong.
When we wrote the article little
did we think it would stir up any
feeling, nor did we do it through
any ~disrespect for him, but for the
sake of truth and justice, and a,
the instance of others who saw the
matter as we did.
We sought not this controversy
nor do we desire a war of words
We are not given to throwing
tufts of grass, nor do we propose
to submit to attack without retort
