REPUBLICAN PRnARIEs.-Primary meetings
will be held throughout the county on the 10th
to hold q convention in Bel Air, on the 18th of
September. AS the Republicans of this county
do not resort to the Crawford county system for
making their nominations, the candidates are
not SO prominently before the public as the late
Democratic ones were, but we understand that
they are not less actively at work in running the
party machinery for private ends.
THE BEL AIR ACADEMY was re-opened and or
ganized on Monday last, by the newly-appointed
principal, Mr.. w. 7. L. Taiaferro, and we un-'
derstand that the prospect of good school the.
coming year is fair. Mr.. Taliaferro, who is
graduate of William and Mary College, has
been practical teacher in Virginia for num-
Der of years past, and we would recommend
those throughout the county who wish to have
their sons prepared for college to send them to
the Academy instead of preparatory school
far from their own homes.

OPENING OF THE PUBLIC SCHooLs-By order
of the Board the public schools of the county
were opened on last Monday, except where 1t
was represented by the local trustees that the
schools would be intcrfered with by the canning
houses. These schools will open on October
10th and be allowed an additional half term next
summer. During the holidays the houses have re-
ceived such repairs us were represented as need
ed by the trustees, as far the funds would per-
nit. The old houses are slowly giving place to
large and more comfortable Ones and the public
seems to be awake to the fact that they may edu-
cate their children almost at their doors, without
appreciable expense. The re-distrcting of the
county lately completed will be of material aid to
both teachers and schools. The boundaries are
now definitely laid out by courses and distances
and no child is allowed by law out of his own
district without the concurrence of his own
trustees as well those of the district he wishes
10 enter A copy of these boundaries will soon
be in each school, so that no one can be igno.
rant on the subject. With the exception of
short funds for running the schools, the out
look for the coming year is a fair one, and we
have no doubt the result will not be less so,
