Business Notice.

The change that has taken place IN the
proprietary interests of the VIRGINIAN rem
ders absolutely necessary settlement OF
the old business.
Accounts for advertising and job work
will be sent through the mails or presented
n person during the month, and we trust
that all will be prepared to meet them either
by cash or notes.
We have large amount upon our books,
and 1t becomes necessary to have it settled
up as speedily as possible. Contemplated
improvements in the business facilities o.
the Office REQUIRE that all available means
should be on hand, and we therefore conf
IDENTIFY appeal to those who are indebted to
us TO come forward and liquidate the claims
against them. The amounts generally are
small, and by an effort can be easily met.
We have never had to resort to public
dams to keep our business in healthy and
progre ,sive condition. This therefore is
purely business notice. growing out of the
proprietary relations of the paper, rendering
ir necessary to close up the old books. We
know we need only to make this statement

A CHANCE FOR A FINE BUSINESS IN
vEsTMENT.-By reference to notice pub
lished elsewhere, it will be seen that our
neighbor, Mr.. C. A. Richardson, proposes
to dispose of his entire stock of groceries
fixtures, good will, &c. Mr.. Richardson
has been impelled to this step in conse-
quence OF ill-health which no longer admits
Of his attending to the duties OF business
so extensive as his. Located as the business
is at one of the best, if not the best, stand
in town, with an excellent cash trade already
established, it certainly offers unusual in
ducements to an energetic, go-ahead man
and we know of no better investment that
could be made.
Until Mr.. Richardson's health is thorough.
ly restored, it is his purpose to give up ac-
tive employment. We hope the day will not
be long postponed until he again feels well
enough to enter the list.

SUsPENDING THE Hoe ORDNANCE
Not since the good old days Of primary cleo
tions, have the sovereigns of Stanton been
wrought up to such excitement as that which
they have undergone within the past week.
It will be remembered by outsiders, for those
in town do not need to be reminded, that
sometime ago the Council passed an ordi-
nance forbidding the keeping of hogs within
the corporate limits. This ordinance was
to 60 into effect the LIST OF February. Its
champion and staunch defender was MIR. u.
G. Gooch, and against overwhelming odds,
and foes within and foes without, he at last
carried his point. and thought the victory
secure. Just, however, on the eve OF rea-
lization of the results of his triumph, the
old enemy came forth hydra like, and where
one head had been cut off, hundred appear
ed. Just before the ordinance went into eff
feet its enemies concentrated their forces,
and with one supreme effort gained the van
tage ground.
During all last week petitions were being
industriously circulated, asking the repeal
of the ordinance, and ON Tuesday night last
they were presented with the names of three
or four hundred citizens attached thereto.
When the question came up before the
Council there was an evident indsposition
to tackle it. Mr.. Bamgardner happened to
be out, and Cinthy was despatched to bring
him to the slaughter. Pending his arrival.
tempoearyileave of absence was granted some
three or four members, but after little
while they all returned, and the funeral
commenced.
| The President read the petition and then
some one called for the question.
Capt. Bumgardner stated that as repre-
sentative OF the people, he felt himself bound
to act in accordance with their wishes. If
majority OF the tax payers We're willing
to sign that petition, he was willing to abol-
ISL the ordinance, otherwise he would not
favor such abolition. ll lliAf
Mr.. Evans was out-and-out in favor Of the
repeal, and said that the city attorney did
not believe the ordinance could be enforced
if permitted to remain.
| Mr.. Gooch was as directly opposed to it,
and favored having the vote of the town TAX
en- upon the questionif necessary.
| Mr.. Todd stated that he had received in
| formation that no ordinance prohibiting
hog pens existed in any of the cities except
Norfolk.
After some further discussion and express
sion of views, it was decided to suspend the
enforcement OF the ordinance until the 1st
of March, and in the meantime secure the
official opinion of the City Attorney as to its
consttutionality.
So respite OF another month is granted,
and in the mea ntime we may expect per-
feet flood of petitions.

aud died in Sacramento. Cad, October 18th,
1879, aged 33 years and 3 days. Connected
with the Willamette Church at the age OF
IA years was married to Joseph Tyler,
July IA, 1869.
Annie was faithful wife and kind and
obedient daughter. She and her husband
came home to her fathers, that she might
nurse her mother through her protracted
disease, consumption, and, after her moth
s.'s death, kept house for her father until
he went to the States with her brother. In
1875 she took fever that Frustrated her
health. Her husband took her to Califor-
mia, hoping the trip would be beneficial.
After spending some time in San Francisco,
they went to Salinas. But the winds there
were too strong for her. Spent the sum
mer in the mountains in California, and re.
turned to Oregon-her health somewhat
improved. Soon an abscess formed in her
side, which bafiied the skill of the physi-
cisns In the fall of 1878 she accompanied
her husband and father to California, over
land. in hopes that the trip would help her.
They visited many places of resort for
health, hut all proved in vain. She tried
the Electric Water Institute, at Sacramento,
but her strength would not permit her to
undergo treatment. Losing all hope of be-
ing hea' ed, or being able to get home, she
arranged her last dress. gave presents to all
her sisters. disposing of her valuables as a
thoughtful woman would, and requested
that her remains should be taken back to
the cemetery at Willamette Church and
laid beside those of her mother and her
baby. Annie has left us, but she had a
faith that carried her through many trials.

have tribulation and sorrow in this wosld.

ID made to the ordinance making an appropri-
alton to pay Mr.. d 2. Deherty, the contract
or, part of his compensation for filling the
batture holes, which, on motion of Mr.. Glynn,
was reeensidered because there was some in
formality In the bond Of Mr.. Doherty. This
was an error. There Ia, 1t seems, no infor-
mality or irregularity In the bond; but GER
tain specifications Tor the work were ineom-
plete, the signature OF one Of the city admin
istrators being still wanted to make them So
and, under the circumstances, 1t was judged
more regular to have the document perfect
before making the appropriation.

but, in order to be more certain and to avoid
d rush next month, when the assessors will
