Richard H. Thornton Library Oxford, North Carolina PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS LET'S ALL BOOST OXFORD FOR A BIGGER, ETTER OXFORD VOL. I. OXFORD, N. C. APRIL 28, 1922 NO 24 SMART BRIDGE LUNCHEON FOR MISS SHAW On Tuesday from eleven to two, Mrs. Marsh Ray entertained at a very smart bridge luncheon for Miss Mary Shaw, whose marriage to Mr. Percy Foster Halsey of Newport News took place on Saturday evening. Pink roses attractively arranged ir. bowls and" small baskets struck the keynote in an effective color scheme of pink and white. At the end of two hours of close playing, it was found that Mrs. A. II. Powell and Miss Mildred Harrington had to cut for the top score prize, a handsome deck of cards, which fell to Miss Harrington. The honor guest was presented with an oriental hanging basket of orris root. Following an elegant luncheon in five courses, the guests were invited to gather around a huge Jack Horner pie that graced the center of the dining room table. When the ribbons were jerked, it was found that there was an amusing favor at the end of each. A charm ing feature of the luncheon was the gay little toast to the bride-elect, made by Mrs. V. Z. Mitchell. Mrs. Ray's guests were: Misses Mary Shaw, Estelle White, Mildred Har rington, Mary Webb, Mesdames A. II. Powell, R. II. Royster, Earl Jennette, Ernest Howard, Waverly Harris, John Mays, F. W. Hancock, Jr. WILDCATS WIN AND LOSE-WIN FIRST GAME In weather most excellent for foot t ti':!.!-;. J',v : forth again from its lair, lost Satur day and carried away Clarksville high's scalp to the tune of 6 to 5. The cold weather seemed to have numbed the Wildcats' claws, for they only made 15 errors to Clarksville' 3, but then the game was won by Oxford's ability to hit in the pinches and ex cellent bunting. Captain Meadows for Oxford had his soupbone oiled up, allowing only five scattered hits. Royster at sec ond and McFarland in right field played stellar games, Royster making one especially good catch of a hot lin er. Russell for Clarksville pitched a good game, but was substituted for by C. Mosely in the sixth inning. Coupled with loose fielding and er rors in attempting to put the run ners out at bases, Clarksville scored four runs in the fourth, but was al- J lowed only one more run in the ninth. Oxford descended on Russell in the fifth frame, hitting and bunting him for five runs and added another in the sixth. The game was loosely played on both sides but at times there were sev eral brilliant plays. Meadows al most succeeded in making a triple play in the fourth inning. RHE Oxford 6 6 15 Clarksville 5 5 3 Batteries: Russell, Mosely, Wilker son; Meadows, Currin. i.oi: k( iimi ;ami: On Tuesday of this week the Wild cats played a return game with Clarksville high at Clarksville, losing 10 to 9. The score was tied in the ninth and an extra inning was nec essary. Owing to the nature of the field Oxford made two errors which let in the deciding runs. Royster se cured a home run, a double, a single and sacrificed once. Walters at third base made a triple with no men on bases. Royster and Floyd constitut ed the battery for Oxford. MRS.

"Whatever be the day, dear, Whatever be the weather May love and you through all your years Share one umbrel' together" was the cleverly phrased wish that accompanied the shower. The hostess es served a dainty salad course. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVEN TION ALREADY BEARING FRUIT The people who attended the Sun aay acnooi tonvvnuun wnc v.. pleased with the work that they said by a unanimous vote that they would i t i ...a 11 like to have a similar meeting next year.

Supt. of the Presbyterian Sunday School, President; W. A. McFarland, Vice President; R. H. Lewis, Jr., Secre tary and Treasurer; T. B. Rose, Jr., Township President for Oxford town ship. THE CONVENTION MAKES US A VISIT If Mr. Snow is a fair sample of the Sunday School Convention which met in the Baptist church here this week, then the Convention was worth while, no matter what it cost. A great many of the students were unable to attend any of the meetings at the church on account of the rehearsals for the Shakespeare contest each afternoon and for the senior play, The Riiah, each night. Commencement is upon us and every minute is full. We only wish that each speaker at the con vention could have made us such a visit as Mr. Snow did.

THE GROWING IMPORTANCE OF THE RADIO BROAD-CASTING SERVICE The science of the broadcasting of music, speeches, lectures, press news, market reports, etc., has advanced more in the last twelve months than any other science has progressed in double the length of time. Person within foity miles of one or more of the broatJ-casting stations may have the full benefits of extensive service, by using a small receiving set which costs from eighteen to twenty-five dol lars and which costs nothing for up keep if handled carefully. By using a set which costs only a few hundred dollars, one can receive music, etc., to be heard in all parts of a small room, from stations which are from two thousand to five thousand miles away. From tlix- -unon are broad- news, weather reports, market re ports, stock quotations, the result of boxing matches and wrestling match es, round by round, baseball game., football games, races, and warning to the radio amateurs all over the coun try, of any congressional bill or bills which are intended to restrict the privileges of the radio amateur. The programs of the different broad-casting stations are varied so that whilo one is sending music, another is send ing news, or stock reports, etc. This makes it possible for one to take his choice of what he or she wishes to hear. There is a plan now on foot to give lessons every night by radio. It is the opinion of all of the authori ties on this subject, that in the nexc year or so this service will become just as necessary to the people of the United States as the line telephone is today. The following boys have receiving sets and can hear the concerts every night: Willie Millis, Creagh Calvert, Joe Floyd, and Ben Medford. There will be many more in the near future. Creagh Calvkht KELWAY HOWARD MAKES VALU ABLE GIFT Our library contines to grow.
