The game of base ball Tuesday afternoon at Horner Park between the Franklin, Va., team and Oxford drew forth a larere crowd of neonle. The game was quite interesting:, but the Franklin boys were too much for our boys and they walked off with a score of 15 to 9. If j'ou who read this happen to to be a regular sponger on your neighbor tor the news of the county as given by the 'Public Leeger, we ask you to be a man, and stop dead beating the editor who is working hard to build up the town and coun ty and subscribe to it. The Greenville Reflector says that a man in that town has a hog pen that smells so bad it diew the onions up out of the ground in a neighbor's garden. Some in Oxford are liable to draw some of the peo pie in bed which may result in their having to be wrapped up in a "wood en overcoat." The noble older is still simmer ing and Cary will be large enough to hold it this time. The State Alii auce will meet the second week in August at Cary. It is becoming a small affair when such a small town as Carv can "hold within its bounds such great statesmen as belong to the noble Douglassites. Our young people enjoyed a most delightful German at Armory Hall Tuesday night to the sweet strains of music furnished by the Durham string band. Of course the young ladies looked their sweetest and best, and the young gentlemen were gallant and willing worshippers at the shrine of lovely woman. Durham seems to be alive to the re-establishment of a good leaf market, and hence we want Oxford to put on new grit and energy and increase our leaf sale the coming season. Let us all unite and do all I within our power to have the Oxford and Coast Line Railroad completed and then we will be sure to increase the trade of Oxford. We alwa's believe in standing by our own town and people and hence we regret that Oxford's corres pondent of the News & Observer in giving an account of the grand cele bration at the Orphan Asylum on Tuesday should have overlooked the admirable address of welcome deliv- ed by our popular Mayor, Major B. S. Royster. It was splendidly de livered, and beautiful in conception. and caused the people of Oxford to still feel proud of this talented citizen. Conundrum Tea.
