VACATION OVER. Once more the
doors of our schools have opened to
receive the scholars, who have been
enjoying several months holiday.
They pass the INDEPENDENT office
by ones and in groups laughing and
chatting and willing to resume their
studies. 1t is pleasant to watch their
antics. School life is not always a
pleasant life /; far from it-but it is
made up of labor and brain work joy
and disappointment. ''Study is never
lost" is a true motto, that should be
remembered by the student, and
without it, his school life, aye, and
after-life, too, may prove failure.
Step by step, from the little, bright
eyed darlings just learning their a. b.
c's. to the budding, checked la
dies and romping, boisterous boys,
school life must be passed. 1t re-
mains with each individual scholar
to make his mark in the world. Don't
go to sleep, don't give up; but centre
will, energy and perseverance in one
grand combination, and press on to
success. We wish every scholar a
pleasant scholastic year, and hope to
find them dutiful, studious and pro-
greSSive.

Boys, DON'T INTERFERE Some
complaint has been made in refer
ence to interference at political
meetings. We advise all to keep
quiet. A speaker may hit hard and
stir the blood, but you need not stay
and listen if you do not feel like it..
Willis Wilson was not choice in his
language. Liar and thief were
common words with him, and are
likely to excite passion. However,
it was his meeting and only those
who can appreciate such oratory
should have remained. If you will
attend, be quiet and orderly.

Berkeley county people will COM
mence on Tuesday Sept. 10th. You

twelve months. Take few days
and 1T you have grown or manufac-
tured anything exhibit it and reap
reward. You want to see your
neighbors, and you want to see the
exhibits of your friends from the
centre or far end Of the county, you
want to renew acquaintance, grasp
the hand of old friends, see how the
families have grown and changed,
and converse about former days and
former mutual friends. The coming

place to do this. Besure and attend.

iums, the exhibition should be large
and select and the attendance should
be general. Let every being in Berk-
eley say that one visit was made to
the fair in 1884. Don't let it be said
that Hagerstown excels in this par
ticular. Invite their people to at
tend, and let them see that your are
prosperous, enterprising and pro-
gressive.
