Today is pro viding for 330 children and since it was established in 1872, by .the Grand Lodge of Masons of North Car olina, more than 2600 girls and boys have come directly under its' blessed ministry. Never have the benefits of this noble institution , been restri cted to the children of Masons. The primary ' conditions f -'admission have- always been the destitution, the need of the children. ; . -T' While the management of the Ox ford Orphanage strive to exercise the $20000 OF GOO IN A SINGLE DAY Record Pace Set By Lynchburg Salesman Duel To "Big" AdVer- 0 I V f . i tisin'g. .: J V Twenty thousand dollars for a sin g!e day's work is a record set by a reports at the heme office here.
