Capt. Genersaux, of schooner Marion,
came in over the bar at low tide the past
week, and at no place did the seundiags
indicate less than % feet of water, and
in places az much as 26 feet, and this,
too, at time when the tides are at the
extreme.
A number Of the friends of Capt. and
Mrs. S. G. Mitchell responded to their
invitation for Tuesday evening, and had
IN enjoyable time. Mr.. and Mrs. Mitch
ell always entertain their guests we'll, and
those who were unable to attend missed
a pleasant occasion.
The Degree Of Honor last Friday even
ing took advantage Of it being leap year
Valentines day, and surprised the A. O.
U. W. lodge by invading the session in a
body and presenting each member pres
ent with valentine. The occasion was
one Of mere than ordinary enjoyment,
and added another link in the chain OF
good fellowship existing between the A.
0. U. w. and its associate order the
Degree Of Honor.
The reported boycott by the loggers Of
one Of the Aberdeen mills on account of
unfairness in scaling proves to b untrue.
There is some complaint, however, as to
all of the mills on the harbor, and there
is to be = meeting Of tho loggsrs in this
city tomorrow to consider the proposition
Of asking for government scaler for the
harbor. As one of them expressed it, he
would rather feel that he was getting pay
for every foot Of his logs. even il he had
to sell at lower rate.
The bright sunshine OF the week has
brought out in all their hideousuess the
large number Of buildings in town which
are constant eyesore by reason Of lack
Of paint. They are a disgrace to the
town, and belle all our boasts OF an en-
terprising town. Aberdeen has been
fairly prosperous during the past year,
and there is no sense in longer delaying
this much needed work. The buildings
need it for their own protection as we'll
as for the town. Many Of them have
never been painted, and many more only
primed, and that some years ago. If
Aberdeen expects to attract immigration
her people must show little more pride
in this direction.
During the past week Prof. Bryan has
sent cut circular to the patrons of the
public schools stating that if sufficient
money is subscribed to continue another
month all Of the grades will be ready for
promotion. He intends to continue the
10th and 18th grades anyway. The
amount required is 1886, of which $50
had been subscribed by the patrons up to
Tuesday evening. The matter was taken
up by the business mems association and
acommittes appointed consisting OF J. A.
Hood and John Evans to act in conjunc.
ton with Prof. Bryan. We hope those
who have no children in the schools will
realize the Importance Of the matter and
give the committee their assistance.
