family from the Eastside, this week,
to Seattle, where he proposes to make
his future residence.
Mr.. J. c. Horr has fitted up a neat
and comfortable Office in his new
warehouse at the draw, and is now
ready to sell you ton OF feed or give
you the latest political pointers with
some degree of style" about it.
The vote on bonding Olympia
School District for S57 600 to build
school houses, last Wednesday, re-
suited in almost a unanimous vote in
favor OF the proposition. Forty-eight
votes were cast for and one against.
DR.. A. H. Manner has bought LAG
acres of land of Aaron Hartsock about
eight miles east OF this city. The
price paid was $l,40O. One hundred
and twenty acres are under fence, and
there are the usual farm buildings on
the premises.

Friday evening, after short illness.
He was buried on Sunday by Columbia
Engine Co., of which organization he
was a member. During the war he
was in the army and present when Lee
surrendered. He leaves many friends.
The appearance Of the average leg
islator as he rolls into the Capital in
dictates that although he may not have
done much in the line of legislation to
earn his salary, during the holiday
season, he has at least been having
monkey and parrot time with his con-
stituents.% ~.
A lady reader of the STANDARD has
furnished us this formula for what she
thinks is an excellent cough syrup:
l pint Santa Cruz rum, pound
6tr&ned honey, 2 ounces essence a1lSR
2 ounces lemon juice. Thoroughly
mix and take in doses of teaspoonful
when the cough is troublesome.
Mr.. Ralph S. Dorr sold last week to
Chas. Peters, a well-known logger, lot
g. block 5, in Horizons Addition for
$af2, also lot same block to Alfred
CASTOR, q logger on the Satsop, for
SITS. Lots s, 8 and 10, block 5, for
merly owned by Judge Isham, to three
of our well-known loggers, for $3.50.
The report of the street work done
the past year is exceedingly gratifying
to every well-wisher of the city, and
although the cost is large it is we'll
worth every cent expended" A very
large proportion of the cost is paid by
abutting property owners, and does
not come out of the municipal fund,
as some have supposed.
Mr.. D. P. Ballard. after long alb
sence has returned to make Olympia
his home, and engage in the prac-
tice of his profession-the law. He
was for several years resident of
Vancouver, and about year ago
moved to Montana, but he finds no
place so much like home as the Ath-
ems Of Washington.
Mike O'Connor is in quandary.
He awarded on New Years day two
elegant prizes to his customers, the
holdera of tickets 1854 and I'll but as
yet neither have appeared to claim
them. The first number takes the
music box and the other the clock.
They are probably held by persons
out of town, who are unaware of their
good luck. ~
The morning, noontime and evening
prayer isfor the weather to moderate
and the snow to thaw. The fieecy Wis
itor is an unwelcome one to our peo-
pie, who make but little preparation
for siege of cold weather at the sea-
son when other countries are muffied
to their ears in cold-weather garments
whenever they step outside their thick
walled houses.
On the principle that I" A poor be-
ginning makes good ending" 1880
may be expected to come out all right,
but il requires the exercise of con-
siderable faith IN the wisdom of old
saws to believe it. The new year
came in with snow, which is never ac-
ceptable to our people, and the grippe
set nine-tenths Of them to coughing,
which interferes considerably with their
equnnimity. So the salutation of
Happy New Year!".. has scarcely
been realized this' season. =.
