OXFORD AND GRANVILLE
THE
GROWTH AND PROSPERITY
OUR PEOPLE.
OF
Oxford's Building1 Boom-Reduction
of TaxesFarmers of OranrilleTlie
lVtvttMiiM ana their Work The
Crop Prospects.
As the editor of the Public Ledger we
are deeply interested in bcih the growth
of town and the county. Every true son
of Oxford is bound to rejoice when he
sees the people who live In the counlry
doing well. Every true citizen of Gran
ville should naturally reciprocate this
sentiment and rejoice as Oxford moves
forward in the march of progress The
prosperity of one help the other. As the
taxable property of Oxford is increased in
the same proportion relatively are the
taxes of the people in the country reduc
ed. The same fact is equally true when
rie smiie oi prosperity is seen among
tbe farmers. Then there bhould never be
any cause of allienation or estrangement
between he people who li re in the coun-
:-y and the people who live in town.
Indeed we find among some of the best
business men in Oxford among those who
were born and brought up in the country,
and who have from choice or pecuniary
advantage have changed their residence
from coun y f3 town.
OXFORD GOING FCRWARD.
In spite of tbe hard times and the scar
city of money Or. ord Is keeping along
abreast of other tovvr's the same size. In
some respects she is taking the lead. We
would call special aention to the grand,
unequaled excellence of Oxford schools
Tne Horner school will hereafter be un
usually well equipped, he Messrs. Hor
ner having just completed a spacious
Academy, a mrdel of convenience, which
is an ornament to the town and reflects on
the enterprise of these distinguished edu
cators. The building is supplied with all
modern conveniences as they have
water works of their own. Soon Rev. T.
U. Faucejte.'s handsome pchpl building
soon be completed thus adding anoo.
feather in the cap of Orford as an educa
tional centre. Another thing we have
virtually a building boom. It is a matter
of wonder to our own people that so much
building Is in progress. Tbe sound of
the hammer and the saw are making mv.
sic In every direction.
THE TRADE OF OXFORD.
lae statistics show that the trade of
Oxford is on he increase, as wps shown
in the coluians of the Pcblic Ledger
a few issues ago, after exhaustive Inter
view of our merchants in the various de
partments of trade. Under the circum
stances it is only necessary for our people-to
take courage, to council together
and harmontze in eve.' effort for promot
ing and upbuilding whatever that will
help the town. We need to encourage
every Ox'cd enterprise that promises to
benefit the town. If we cannot secure
big industries let us secure small ones
THE SEWSPAPERfc.
In the matter Jof newspape-s If the press
is wo-th anything towards helping along
the various enterprises and 'icupations it
d(K8 seem to us that the public and par
ticularly the businf 3S men should natron
ize those who amid many dlscouragments
drive the pencil in their efforts to publish
to the world whatever is worthy and val
uable, or adding to the success and repu
tation of ! -al schemes and ente-pi Ises.
Ot OKA'S ViLLE.
So fp- rs Granville county is concerned
tbe Public Ledger has often said many
things by way of eulogy. We are glad to
return thanks to the farmers and others
living in the county for the appreciation
which they have shown towards our e-
fnrs to fret, un a cood countv paper. Our
farmers friends often say kind things to
us which cheers us very much in our
labors. The support which they give us
we value highly and we piopose In all
proper ways to stand by them In whatever
concerns their Interest. There is no coun
ty in he State with a better population
than is that of Granville. And we be
lieve that as a rule, with scarcely an ex
ception, that the farmers of the county
rejoice whenever they hear of the pros
perity of Oxford We shall continue in
the "uture to maintain that same fidelity
to the interest of the farmers which we
have heretofore displayed.
THE CROP PROSPECTS.
Notwithstanding the prospects of an
other crop are bad we just when harves
ted that the result will prove more satis
factory han the present outlook seem to
warrant. Our impression is that as a rule
the people have labored with more than
usual industry to make a crop. The In
formation we have at this office we must
confess only indicates about a half crop
of tobacco as compared -with last year
judging from he report brought in by
many of our planters. This refers to the
quantity, but tbe quality also Is of a very
inferior grade.
Well, Se-ab, what have you fcaep doing
to make you look so young? Oh, nothing
t - -
! newer to restore the color of my hair.
Hurrah for Panacea Water
The census report has classified all? the
mineral springs of any note in the United
States. And by ref ei ence to that report
we perceive that Panacea Is the only Min
eral water in thi.i-coun.ry except "one
other spring in Colorado that is classified
under tbe name of Carbonated Sodic Cha
lybeate. The Panacea it is evident is one
of the most remarkable mineral waters In
the world. We learn all the time of per
sons who p-e being cured by it after the
usual remedies have failed. Panacea you
bet has come to stay. It is good both in
winter and summer for children r id
grown people, and at or away from the
Springs.
Promotion of a Oranvllle Boy.
We learn from he State Chronicle that
Fiesidtnt Winston, of the State Unlversl
ty, hr s appointed as his Private Secretary
pnd Stno0 anher, Mr. A. B. K!mball, of
Granville count;'. Mr. Kimball is a most
worthy young man who was prepared for
college at Oak Ridge Ir otitnte. He will be
enabled by this appointment to get a uni
versity education, pajing all his expenses
by a few hours' work each day. We would
be glad to see more of or- young men
carving their fo; iunes in the same way.
Both the institution which prepared him,
pnd fhe one which pvocured bis services
re to 13 congratulated.
Merchants Purchase Tax.
The Wilmington Messenger in speak
ing of this subject says: "The merchants'
purchase ttx stands under the decision of
Judge Se.nour. We believe him tr h
a conscientious judge and a good lawyer.
He has no doubt decided according to his
est judgment. But the law is a bad law
because it is ha"sh, oppressive and found
ed on a v.-ong principle. It is certainly
very unjust to a lsrge, useful nd impor
tant class of our fellow citizens. So long
as it remains on the statute books It ts ill
be a source of comnlaint and irnnsttoa
It should be wiped out."
