VOLUME V--NO. 38. BE A MAN ! VOTE Oxford All Kiglit. AVe heard a farmer say a few days ago that he had tried all the different markets with tobacco, and was frank to admit that Oxford held the palm for high averages and was truly uniform in prices for all grades. He ertainly told the truth, and our far mers cannot do better than stand square by their own market and help it to continue the splendid reputa tion it now has as a tobacco center. Don't be deceived by men who are trying to make you believe that your own tlesh and blood are your enemies. Stand by your county and county town as it is money in your pocket. Prices during the past week have been good and sellers satisfied. We have the best and most relia ble warehouse teams in the State, and will never turn their backs on a pile of tobacco until it has fetched the full market price. Come along farmers with your tobacco and the boys will make it bring the cream of the market. Hurrah for Oxford and our noble band of warehousemen and tobacco buyers. A Iittle Girl's Experience In a fjiglif liouse. Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are keepers of the government lighthouse at JSand Beach. Mich., and are blessed with a daughter, four years old. Last April she was taken down with measles, fol lowed with a dreadful cough and turning into a fever. Doctors at home aud at Detroit treated her, but in vain; she ,rrew worse rapidly, until she was a mere 'hamdful of bones." Then she tried Dr. King's New Discovery and after the use of two and a half bottles, was completely cured. They say Dr. King's New Discovery is worth its weight in gold, yet you can get a trial bottle free at J. G. Hall's drug store. Three Locals.
