Mr. Camp B.irnett a farmer living near Roxboro, still raises watermelons from seed sent him by Hon. John Kerr, when in congress thirty-eight years ago. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Raymond Couch, the excellent Jeweler at Roxboro, in Oxford Monday. He reports that track laying on the Lynchburg & Durham as being but a short distance from town. Mr. W. L. Clark and Miss Annie E. Coley, of Dutchville township, were hap pily married May 7th.

We learn that the gifted and talented Dr. B. F. Dixon has consented to deliver a lecture at the Opera House some time in June for the benefit of the Oxford Circuit Parsonage. We feel sure that all our people will turn out in full force with two objects in view, one to hear something good from this popular orator, and the other to aid the good people of the Oxford Circuit in securing a home for their pastor. The date will be an nounced in the future. Oxford Well Represented.

J. llulin, of the Durham Marble Works, returned to Oxford Saturdaj' from Townesville, where he had been to place in position an elegant and substantial monument to the memory of the late Col. Tazwell Lee Hargrove erected by a de voted wife. On one side is the follow ing inscription: "Lieut. Colonel 41th Regiment N. O. Troops; the defender of of South Anna Bridge, who with 02 men held it against the enemies force of 1,500 men four hours." It is said that this is one of the finest monument ever erected in Vance county. Beautifully Said. Dr. T. B. Kingsbury the learned and able editor of the Wilmington Messenger has the following tender and beantiful tribute to his noble, pure and blessed wife, who has stood faithfully by his side for; 39 years : "It is a long time t be married thirty-nine years. It is a bless ed gift from God to have a faithful, lov ing wife to rejoice with you when the heart Is happy and the skies are brigLt and the flowers bloom and the birds sing their little songs of happiness, and to sorrow and to weep with you when God's hand rests heavily upon you, and the heart aches, and the clouds gather and the silver cord loosed and the golden bowl is broken." Nice lot fishing tackle at J.F. Edwards. TIio Cozart Mineral Sprint;'. We noticed some time ago that Mr. B. II. Cozart had discovered a mineral spring on his lot near the O. & C. depot. He has had analyzed by the N. C. Experiment St ition at Raleigh with the following re sult: Solids 8.99 grains consisting principally of carbonate of iron ; also carbonite of lime, chloride of lime, chloride of sodium, sulphate of magnesia and selicia. From the above it will be readily seen that this water is exceedingly valuable as a tonic. We hope Mr. Cozart will take steps to make his Springs known to the outsido world, that may resnlt in making Oxing Oxford a famous watering place. Tlie Odd Fellows.
