ssCurfew Shall Ring"

ssCurfew Shall Ring'
The Shelton town council has passed
a curfew ordinance requiring children
under the age Of sixteen years to be
off the streets after seasonab1e hour.
Such ordinances are all right if en-
forced. If we had known that Shelton
| wanted curfew law we have one that
we would have sold them dirt cheap.
It is better than new one because it
is we'll seasoned and has never been
| used. All it needs to make it perfect
is whistle attachment and an auto
| matte enforcer, both of which should
be obtainable at low rates from any
| Junk shop in Utopia. We have side
| walk ordinance but recently made,
that will soon be for sale upon the
same conditions, if any of our enter
prising neighbors are in search of one

| The old First National Bank build
ing in Olympia was sold by the receiver
last week for ,0On to George M. Hell
lar, real estate dealer who was form
erly located in the Capitol city. The
sale includes the ground, building,
furniture, fixtures aud safe, and the
consideration is considerably less
than the original cost. 1t rumored
that the purchase was made for other
parties, but nothing definite is given
out. His will enable Receiver Philips
to declare another dividend of about
twenty percent. A few more items re-
main in the way of assets, and it is
thought that depositers will get IS per
cent of their claims against the de-
funct bank, fifty having been paid so
far.

George W. Manville, an old Thurs
ton County settler, who vas sentenced
to IA years in the penitentiary for kill
ing neighbor, as the result of line
fence row, has been released His
sentence was committed to seven years
by the governor, and expired. Man-
vile is quite an old man, and has been
in failing health for some time.
There is no other Flour like the old
reliable Olympic Flour-always the

| Here is a pointer for school boys and
girls. Your teachers are your best
friends. Whatever they ask you to do,
try to do promptly and cheerfully.
Going to school is business for you,
! just the same as regular business for
the older folks, and if you neglect your
business now, where and how will you
finish your life work? Think of these
things boys and girls.-Ex.
The great reduction sale of ladies
Coats and Capes is now in progress at
the L. M. Co.'S.
4 In blowing up strawberry beds that
are over run with weeds it is better to
pillow then up and start a new bed.
The old plan of keeping a bed for
. years has given way to that of setting
. new one at least every two years,
and many growers think one years
service enough for them.
We will be pleased to give one OF
our 1899 calendar to any person that
will come to the store.
