The first National Bank of Olym.

own greenbacks in circulation. The
present bank will be merged in the
new ente. prise, and Judge Hoyt
will be the President. Messrs.
Barnes, Ford Stuart and others, are
interested in the matter.
Messrs. George II. Hines and
W. d. Carter, stray printers from
Portland, are creating a sensation
among the tinny and f,athered
tribes, in this vicinity. When they
return to the inland metropolis they
will have big stories 10 tell of their
exploits, but we warn our Portland
neighbors against placing implicit
faith in iishermen's yarns"
A sample lot of the finest peach
es we have yet seen that were pro.
duced in this Territory, have been
placed on our table by Mr.. Mark
Jones. of this place. The tree on
which they grew is six years old, and
produced several hundred we'll mat
ured specimens of this favorite fruit
"a portion of which Mr.. J. will try
TO keep for the annual fair. Good
peaches are a rarity in Western
Washington, which makes the re-
sui noteworthy.
The Directors of Olympia Graded
School have made Il selection of

nesota, will be the Principal; Miss
Ellen S. Stevenson will have charge
of the Grammar Department.; Miss
Gertrude McCausland, the uterine
date Grade, and Mss A. r. Ander-
son. the Primary Department. They
are all teachers of experience, and
will do their best to make the sys-
TEN a success.
AS some of our exchanges are
publishing an article entitled Ex-
cAvations at Olympia" we express
the hope that our local authorities
will not allow their morbid sensibili
ties to induce the belief that any
reference is extended therein to the
somewhat gigantic job they have
undertaken ut East Olympia bridge.
The writer of the article in question
is one of those scientific humbu.s
whose face is set backwards, and the
Olympia he refers 10 was an old fogy
town of past age, just the Oppos
lite in all respects of our own spright-
ly, enterprisins and progressive little
city.
