A B-FLAr cornet Was lost at the
Fair by q member of the Band.
Anybody knowing its whereabouts
will please report at this Office.
MRssRs. E. A. Wilson and Robert
Watkinson Of Mason county, and
Mr.. John Shelton, of Lewis, called
upon us Thursday. They appear in
good accord with themselves and the
"rest of mankind"
HoRsE-RAcE men, and they ought
to know, say that the Washington
Industrial Association, pays more
literally and offers better terms to
the sporting fraternity than many
corporations of grander pretensions.
PHYSICIANS are once more taking
heart. The late inclement weather
has caused a considerable amount of
local indisposition among our citi-
zens, the children especially. No
business so dull, but there is hope
in the future.
We are all directly or indirectly
interested, to q large extent, in the
Oregon State Fair, and hence, we
congratulate our friends over there
in the present outlook as regards
the weather the remainder of this
week.
TIE last load Of displays" came
down from the pavilion this morn
i1D. The Fair (3rOunfla and huiId-
ings possess q forsaken appearance,
and, like Tom Moore's banquet
hall deserted" nothing but doleful
echoes answer to the tread of the
single occupant of the premises.
MR. David Cook, for some time
past, a faithful custodian of the
Fair Grounds, has been engaged by
the Directors to remain there for an
indefinite period, having general
supervision of the premises. This
is a wise precaution, and an excel
lent selection has been made by the
Mr.. Geo. Gelbach, of Tumwater,
sold sixty barrels of -four in town
yesterday. This flour was OF his
own manufacture and the event
speaks volumes in praise of his en-
terprise. A continuation of such q
business as was transacted yesterday
would enable him to run his mills
day and night.
If Mother Eve found the way to
Adams heart through his stomach,
as modern wives fan the declining
love of their froward husbands, she
must have used the same variety of
grapes as are sold by Chilberg. We
know of nothing left that comes any
nearer the tid-bits of Paradise. Only
a quarter for whole sack full. Go
and taste them.
We regret much to learn that Ada,
the little daughter Of Gen. I. l.
McKenny died in San Francisco,
Monday morning. whither she had
been taken for medical treatment.
Her father started Monday morning
for the Bay City, but, on his way
received a message from his wife to
the effect that she would he in Port
land with the remains Of the child on
Saturday.
