Williams, one of the clev er young farmers of Oak Hill, sold a load of tobacco at satisfactory prices on our market Tuesday. We had the pleasure of meeting him in our office. The piece elsewhere about the Al liance charter was intended for two issues ago and crowded out. It ap pears that the House bill repealing the charter and the bill creating a new charter were both tabled and the old charter amended, so that all who has money in the Alliance fund can withdraw it if they wish. OXFORD, Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Crews gave a delightful reception on Tuesday day night in honor of Miss Lizzie Cutchins, of Suffolk. Va., who is their guest, which was largely at tended.

For the comfort of all who are longing for Spring-time to set in, we will remind them of the fact that the ground hog's six weeks of bad weath er came to a close yesterday. All will admit that the ground hog knew what he was doing this time. 'Tis said that there was a heavy frost on Monday night which nipped in the bud the aspirations of several candidates for the mayoralty. The commissioners reduced the Mayors salary to $10 per month as well as despensing with one policeman. Mr. T. W. Winston has moved to the old Littlejohn residence which he purchased some time ago. The residents of the neighborhood welcome back Mr. and Mrs. Win ston .andj sweet little Miss Julia to their first settlement when they cast their lot in Oxford. Rev. Dr. Rose, who has been conducting a series of services at the Presbyterian church for some days brought them to a close on Wednes day night.

The Skating Carnival at the Cen ter Warehouse on last Friday Might was quite a pleasant affair and was much enjoyed by the young people. Only a few were masked. Our devil was strictly in it, as he had applied burnt cork freely to his face and his rig made him look like a regular etheopian dude. He is a hummer on rollers as well as on a three legged stool. We learn that the finest "Female Minstrel Troupe" in this country will give an entertainment at the Oxford Opera House on Monday night April 3rd. Save your money and go to see it, it will pay you!

The taxpayers heartily commend the action of the Town Commission ¬ ers in reducing the expenses of the town $720. It is now in order to still further apply the pruning knife by making tax collector and treasu ler one office, and pay a policeman a good salary and let cost go direct into the treasury. The taxpayers are with you in lopping off every possible cent as times are hard and money hard to get hold of. How does this strike you ? If you want a newspapers in Oxford you must patronize it. Indeed we are sorry to say we have tobacco men, and merchants who are too stingy to subscribe to their home paper let alone advertising. One of these smiling individual said to us a few days ago: "Well, you need, some thing to fill up, just say we sell goods at Danic prices." When he adverti- ses we will be sure to have a panic. Urging? the Iiuillinr ota Railroad. We are glad to learn that the good people of Oak Hill Township are strongly in favor of the move ment to build a railroad from Oxford via Cornwall Iron mines, Blue Wing Copper mines on to Roxboro. This would be a good thing for Oxford and Northern Granville. Why not ex tent the Oxford & Coast Line Road right on President Graham after you once get the first section built?

Go it and do all you can to rid the people of the imcompetent, ignorant negro coroner, Milton Hawkins.
