Yesterday was as pretty a day as
we ever saw. It had every bit the
appearance of the iith of May.
Ii everybody would paint or white
wash their houses and fences, our
town would be lovely.
The young men who go courting,
or visiting, either you choose to call
it, are beginning to wear button-hole
boquets. Do keep some'of the little
beauties for us ladies.
This is the season of the year for
house-cleaning and a man can get in
the house the best way he can. And
he has to “get up and dust” before
he sits down.

One thing we arc pleased to note
and that is the large amount of new
fencing that has been put up in Ox
ford. New ])aling neatly painted
adds a great deal to any place.
It strikes us that it is nearly
time to have mutton in our markf*t.
Why don’t some of our countr)
friends bring in a lamb or two, they
would find ready sale for them.
Mr. Chas. Traylor left here yester
day for Windsor, Bertie county, to
look after his son John, who is in
carcerated in Bertie jail for having
in his possession a stolen horse. We
have never heard any thing detrimen
tal to the young man’s character, and
trust he may prove him:jelf innocent.
The advertisement of the Waverly
Hotel, Culpeper Va., will appear to
morrow. Thanks Thomas and Sam
uel and may the Mori'ow in your
bones never grow thin.
Will some one be kind enough to
tell us the real emblem of the bloom
of the Mock-orange? Harrell, of the
Henderson Tribune says it means
“Mock-Modesty.” Strange em
blem, that.
