Lvsy Times IN Berkeley.
They are having a lively time in
Berkeley county over the question OF
new Jail. The Statesman OF last week
saws: Judge Duckwall i'll his charge
to the Grand Jury gave them special
instructions to inquire into the condl-
ton OF the county Jail. The jury in
diseharging their duty made a care
full inspection of the Jail, but were
wholly unable to agree upon report.
So lar as we can learn the general
opinion disapproved the Jail as inse-
cure and unwholesome in its present
condition, but stood an old time s to
7 against recommendation in favor
Of building new one. The venera-
BILE Judge, in commenting upon their
inability to agree, waIed indignant,
declaring that if the entire fifteen had
coneurred in an agreement to repair
the old jail, new one should never
theless be built. Continuing, he said
the old one was unfit for the use to
whieh it was put, and that he could
accommodate prisoners more com
fortably in his hog pen than in this
jail. He complimented the Jury upon
their faithful industry in disposing of
so much business in SO short time,
and concluded by hoping to meet
them again when we have a new Jail.
The rule issued at the last session Of
court against the County Commits
sioners to show cause why new Jail
should not be built is returnable to
this term, and we may now look to
see horns locked and fur flying"

The Country Newspaper.

The Country Newspaper
The country newspaper-if it be
conducted with sufficient spirit. en-
ergy, ability and independence to Ell
able it to be dignified by the name OF
a newspaper-holds a position OF pc
culiar delicacy in the realm OF in
fluence. Living nearer to the popular
masses, catching more fully the in
spiration Of their sympathies, cher
ishing more keenly knowledge Of
their wants, and imbued more pro-
foundly with a sense of their power,
than the great city journals, it
yields in the aggregate a vastly purer
and stronger influence for the wei
fare of mankind. Limited though he
may be in the sphere OF work, and
encompassed by many of the smaller
trials and even ludisrous features of
life, vet the editor Of the feeblest
newspaper in the land bears a solemn
responsibility which he cannot con
sciously escape and which he should
be brave and fearless enough not TO
disregard. Exchange

IL is the general opinion that the stand

the freckled girl had no stopping bell and
no starting bell TO ring, and because, too,
he was in no hurry TO be done with the
pleasure of trying. She laughed and he
laughed, and tie sun was bright and there
was great clump Of golden rod in n dusty
fence corner.
There was woman in black with a
rosebud In her buttonhole. IL was wee
pink bud that had forgotten this is not
June.
There was a tall woman In hairy gown
of tan color, plaided with black and white
heeces.
There were two clusters Of hydrangea
blossoms on a bush In a front yard. Each
cluster was huge and was shaped and
colored like bartlett pear.
There were nine globes In school house

under them and between them, were child.

There were deep crimson dahlies nod

goodby and smiled. The conductor let n
