Who has the best horses, best cat
tie, best sheep in this or any other
section of the country? That is the
question to be decided at the coming
fair. Make things lively in this line,
for we are all interested, and all
want to have the best.
Who raises the best wheat, the
best corn, potatoes, vegetables, fruit
etc? That is to be decided at the
fair to be held in this county in De-
tober next. Mr.. Stay at Home and
Hide in the Dark and Mr.. IF"
had been There, should show their
skill and the result of their efforts by
being on hand and kindly competing
with all other corners.
Who has the best machinery for
various uses, especially for agricul-
tural purposes Important ques-
tion-does any manufacturer or the
agents stay away and expect to sell
his goods ? 1t will be unadulterat-
ed folly to do SO.
And the ladies God bless them

work counters are always full, and
we trust the preserves canned fruits,

to puzzle the most competent judges
to decide properly which is the best :;

willingly, cheerfully, night and day,
so as to make this fair the best ever
held in Berkeley county-or in any

A CONFERENCE SUGGESTED.

The Martinsburg Herald suggests
a republican conference to prepare
for 1884. We opine it is little too
previous. But the Herald is right in
naming Martinsburg as the proper
place at which to meet. Plenty of
entertainment is handy. That gold
en- tongued orator, Mr.. r. p. III.
Staub, could be prevailed upon to hold
meeting of the workingmen, and
the Hancock Club" could furnish
list of names from which to select
few first class republican editors.

know. Jake" could also be invited.

AN EARTHQUAKE.

After the calamity on the island
of Ischia one may wonder what will
come next in the series of disasters
by sea and land which have marked
this year. Had such a series occur
ed few hundred years ago people
would have thought the disasters
were the forerunners Of that great
one which is to put an end to all
earthly affairs, and it will be curious
now to see what those given to the
theory of special providence in all
things, think of the fate which befell
the town of Casamicciola. The
greatest scene of terror seems to
have been in the theatre when the
shock came. The house was full,
but it was wooden one, and was
torn apart so that the people escaped
from it, though terrified almost out
of their senses. So far as the dis
patches now at hand show, no one
was killed in the theatre. The loss
of life was mainly by the fall of the
dwelling houses. One hotel sank
into the gaping earth, taking with it
many of the guests. The only spe-
cial providence to be seen in the dis
aster is in the form of warning
that those who live on the crust of
volcanoes may expect danger. There
are thirteen volcanoes on the island
the largest Of them Epomeo, which
is now said to be threatening an
eruption. 1t has not been active since
1901. Two years ago there was an
earthquake in the same region where
this terrible one Of Saturday night
occurred. The last shock was felt
at Naples, twenty three miles distant.
The loss of life is great, because the
wealthy Romans have villas at the
baths of Casamicciola and were
there enjoying them and the sea air.
Many visitors were from other parts
of the world,

rs THIS JAKE 2 IF so, WHO

The second move on the political chess

ity Of wet nurse to the Statesman.

complished one thing sure, and that is
he has made one man show his hand.

of Mr.. Eichelberger. We did it in
lilac colors. The Statesman may or
may not need wet nurse. 1t used

dry clothes on the respected late de-
parted, in the face Of constant and
growing dissatisfaction" and beat a
"clique to solidify the party for one
man." then he is the man for 1884,
even if he should have to wait until
1885 for an organ to toot the famil-
lar lines:
"W Goldman, spare that tree,
In youth it sheltered me,
And FL protect it now.'

hand" and let the tiger loose-if not
