i The annual meeting of Jhe ?nock-,

fices of the Secretary and Treasurer,
Mr. J. S. Walker. The meeting was
j vtW-attended, a majority of the.
stock being: represented..
? i Thu Association one of ? thf?.
youngest in' the State, being only
three years old, but in that timei
has risen since its incorporation un- ;
tij -at present- there are few associa
tions in the State having any bet-'
ter rating The Build in- & Loan,
idea Was new to this secticn, bpt|
ever >ij?ce the first, series of stock
was offered has filled a real need in j
the community #nd has- aided-, ma
teriaTTy in^the building and financing j
of homes. The total shares in force ;
number about 2350, and assets |
aratount to $73,948.89. Earnings of
this stockr as r.apc.rjred to the stock
holders by the Secretary, have amoun
ted to. ? 1-4 per cent, which is an un:- |
usuatty high figure among organ i-j
7.atioi\s of this c-haractet. Its great1
success rs due almost entirely" to the!
?: x^ellent management and carefiH at
icf.iJ.ion of its officers, and much" of
the credit is given 'to Mr. J. S. \V>V ?
ker, the very efficient secretary. He:
?Jias^hantik'd it: affair: moyt gatiskj
fiiJtrtorily for three greats, ontii cly i
without ytf tiu me rat ion ! The unusual- 1
jy high earnings of the stock of1 this!

the local fans, when they, defeated
the Roxboro high school- quintet by
a -core of 19 to 13. The (tame was
the most, exciting and hard fcogbt
battlev that has" been played or. the
local court this season.
.Both sides brought into action the .
five man defense, which prowl to
be- more valuable to the opponents
than to the locals.. A vedette, of tho- '
Oxford team contributed 7 point? to
the tally, while Harris, for the locals
came' through rfith 6 points to hi*
credit.
' The visitors seemed to find the
basket more often than the Rthx
