I trust the pupils of the eighth grade of this County will work hard from now until the close of school and On the day of examination do justice to themselves, to their teachers and parents, and to the Pub lie Schools of the State

How | ever, as this is to be a true and impar- tial account of the game, mention must be made of Murphy, with the Rotterdam accent and Jimmie Logic, the famous English cricketer. If Murphy can't lay bricks any better than he can play ball he ought to be sent back to Amsterdam.
