Schools Close.

School is out. The schools
closed for the summer vacation last
Friday. Many Of the pupils have no
doubt been looking forward to this
event with great expectations. The
familiar tones of the bell, , can not be
heard for several weeks, and in the
interim the youth, of Worthington
will enjoy their vacation in different
ways. Some will visit grandparents
or friends at a distance and doubt
less nearly all of them will receive
the benefits of an airing in the coun-
try. Worthington will miss the many
laughing girls and boys whom we
have seen daily vending their way to
school; but when they come again
they will be stronger limbed, and the
ruddy glow of health will tell of the
wonderous power Of nature. The
many bright eyed lads and lassies
who attend the schools Of Worthing-
ton are one Of her greatest prides.
Long may they remain such.
