HURRAH FOR OXFORD MARKET,
Bij? Breaks on Friday and Tuesday
Last. Friday and Tuesday were gala
days for the Oxford tobacco market.
Immense quantities of tobacco ' were
placed on our warehouse floors both
these days and blights seemed to be
the centre of attraction among buy
ers as prices had ''shot up among
the rafters" as one of the buyers ex
pressed it. One farmer said it re
minded him a "little of old times."
Another said, "I guess the backbone
of the panic must be about in two as
Alf Hobgood has just hollowed
Carry the news to Mary."
During each day the warehouses
were the centre of attraction, but the
Cooper Bank was head center, after
each sale, where crisp greenbacks,
shining silver and gold was paid out
to the good farmers and placed on
the uoyage of circulation among the
people, and assist in supplying their
needs.
We are glad to see our warehouse
men have determined to sell their
share of the crop, and the farmers
can always rely on getting the very
top of the market on all grades in
Oxford.

C oinpllmeut to an Old Oxford Boy.
Lt. Willie Lassiter has been or
dered to his command at Salt Lake
City. He has been the recruiting
officer at Greensboro and Knoxville,
Tenn., for two years. He spent sever
al days with his mother and brother
the past week.
Knoxville Journal, Oct. G, says: It
was a brilliant reception, that ten
dered by the members of the Bach
elors Retreat at their Rookery, cor
ner Vine and Walnut streets, last
evening. '
It was given in honor of Lieuten
ant William Lassiter, U. S. A., who
will leave at once to rejoin his com
pany at Salt Lake City, after having
had charge for several months of the
local recuiting station of the U. S.
A., which station, under his excel
lent supervision, has become one of
most important in the country.
A sumptuous dinner prepared in
the height of the art by the Rookery's
most excellent chief was served. It
consisted of numerous royal courses.
The tables were beautified by a prog
fusion of flowers and an invisible
orchester furnished the sweetest of
strains.
After the dinner the dining room
was cleared an due devotion paid the
Terpsichorean art. The reception
was an elegant affair, marking not
only the loss of one of the members
of the Retreat, but also the termina
tion of the pleasant association of
the excellent young men who have
been in retreat at the Rookery from
hotel life during the summer that is
no more.
To make the hair grow a natural color,
prevent baldness, and keep the scalp
healthy, Hall's Hair Renewer was invent
ed, and has provided itself successful.
When traveling, always take a cake of

Have not Felt tbe Pannic.
There are farmers, not a few, who
know but little of hard times. They
are independent. They have plenty
to live on, and money enough to
meet their needs. How did they
manage to be so well off, while many
others are destitute and grumbling?
They have staid at home and worked
while others have spent a great deal
of time and money attending scores
of public meetings, and paying out
money to keep up public organiza
tions. There are some farmers who
have scarcely lost a day, or paid
out a dollar on such things. There
are others who have spent time
and money amounting to from ten
to one hundred dollars. This makes
the difference between contentment
and discontent between enough, and
not enough.
The woman who works, and tired, will
find a special help in Dr. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription. Perfectly harmless in
any condition of the female system. It
promotes all the natural function, and
builds tip, strenghtens, regulates, and
cures. For woman approaching confine
ment, nursing mother-, and very weak,
run-down,delicate women, it is an invigo
rating, supporting tonic that's peculiary
adapted to their needs.
But it's more than that, too It's the
only guaranteed remedy for all the func
tional disturbance, painful disorders, and
ohionic weakness of womanhood. In
'female complaints" ' of every kind,
periodical pains, bearing down sensa
tions, internal inflamation, and kindred
ailments, if it ever fails to benefit or cure,
you have your money back.

PAINTED HIMSELF GREEN.
Executed a War Dance on Top of a
Pole and Fought his Resellers.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 9 A drunken
painter named Tucker gave a war
dance on the narrow platform at
the top of a tel phone pole ninety
feet above the ground at Mitchell
and Fayette streets this afternoon.
He carried up a flask of whiskey and
a can of green paintT With the
paint he painted himself green from
belt to crown. Then he sang and
yelled and danced, attracting a great
crowd. He swung himself from the
edge of the platform, and dangled
there in the air to the horror of the
crowd below.
Two linemen were telephoned for.
They climed up. Ono got through
the trap door, when Tucker shut it,
and would not let the other up. He
assaulted the linemen on the plat
form, and they had a thrilling fight.
Tucker tried to throw the lineman
off, but the latter finally got in a
blow with his nippers on Tucker's
head, knocking him senseless. The
other linemen then got up, and
Tucker was let down with a rope
and taken to the police station.

The missioualries are doing much to
