SHORT-STOPS IN THE LOCAL LINE Gathered and Condensed for the Eye of the Reader. Next Sunday is Easter and Lent will be over. Capt. Wheeler, has had Alex ander street put in good condition. W. A. Parhani, Jr., has moved to the Booth residence on High street. Tobacco still comes right along to Oxford where top notch prices are paid for all grades. It is a pleasure to us to announce that Mrs. Holley, who has been quite sick, continues to impove. The residence of Mr. W. A. Adams on College street presents a handsome appearance under a new coat of paint. Nearlv everv one vou meet is .ill ?M n OP Vt7 1 f ll o CAI-q afTVl o o V f tit m,-. ! 7 and S hundred people have been vaccinated in Oxford. The giant gripp captured the 'Old Man" some days ago and held him prisoner for four days, we will do our best, however, to give you as readable paper as possible. Dr. S. H, Cannady enjoys the pleasure of riding in a handsome new buggy to see his patients. What is better still, he pulls the reins over one of the finest roadsters in the county. The candidacy for mayor is warming up, so far there only two names mentioned, Messrs. W. h. Mitchell, and Capt. Sidney Minor. We are not in the fight as we live in the country. A teacher said to her primary class the othr day: "If your father gave your mother $7 today and $S tomorrow, what would she have?" And the small boy in the corner replied: "She would have a at. So far as "outsiders" can judge there is no telling when any of the many quo warranto proceedings now instituted in this state will be ad judged. The nature of the suits seem essentially to partake of procrastina tion. The largest girls with their ex cellent teacher, Miss Sallie Davis, at the Orphan Asylum, have moved into the new cottage next to the main building. It is a nice home, admir ably arranged, and very eom fortable. Well President McKinley and Thomas Brackett Reed have met away down on the coast of Georgia within hearing of the song of the sad sea waves, where they shook hands, briefly discussed the weather, gratefully bade each other farewell and parted. Mr. B. F. Kronheimer, who has been to New York City buying new spring and summer clothing, gent's furnishings, hats, shoes, &c, has returned home. When they all arrive and opened up you will see the larg est and prettiest stock ever shown at the old reliable Clothing House. There are ten cases of smallpox at Kinston, Lenoir county. The au thorities are hastily building a hospital on the outskirts of the town to isolate the cases. There are many cases in that section, but the type is a mild one. The spread of the disease in Kinston was aided by a colored barber, who nursed his wife suffering from the disease at night, and sha7ed his customers during the day. The American Tobacco has after a long pull scooped in their greatest rival ill iud wcai. ucgoiii lujom vv Co., of St. Louis, Mo., and turned it over to their Continental branch. They now hold the key to the tobacco situation, and in a short time there will be only two buyers on a markef, and being both under one manage ment will not bid against each other. The question arise now where is the farmer at. It is not generally understood that under the new law all assess ment and fraternal orders that write, or pretend to write, any kind of insurance are now under the dii'ect supervision of the insurance depart ment, and must obtain from the department the license to do business in this state. Heietofore a license for these orders was unnecessary. This provision applies to the Knights of Honor, the Royal Arcanum, the order of the Heptasophs and all other orders of a similar kind. The revival that has been in progress at the Baptist church since last Sunday week, conducted by the able and devout pastor, continues to sjrow in interest. Rev. J. S. Hard away goes right after the lukewarm back sliding members, pleading with them to renew their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. His appeals to those out of Christ is plain and pathetic, urging them to repent of their sins and become followers of the meek and lowly Jesus, who died to save sinner. A vital road question to be consid ered by the Oxford people. One day last month we learn 13 two horse loads of tobacco, weighing altogether 3,000 pounds started for Oxford from the South side to sell, but were obliged to go to Henderson owing to the terible conditiou of the road from Oxford to Dements X Roads. This is only one specific illustration of what happens. Is it not time for the business men of Oxford to move in the matter of good roads, and at once seize on to the excellent road law passed by the Legislatives. OXFORD, N. The defunct fusion office hold ers die hard. The Easter hat is about all a women has on her mind at present. All branches of business are being rapidly gobbled up by trusts. A women provides for the inner man, and the husband proyides for the outer women. We never make as much fuss over weeks of sunshine as we do over one day of rain. Though we are told that all men are liars, there isn't one who won't fight to refute the assertion. Anything bad about us is speed ed on wings. The good has to crawl with heavy weights at its heels. Don't worry other people with your affrirs. They have all they can attend to in minding theii own bus iness. Certainly fine weather will be given a warm welcome, judging by the way it appears now that we won't have any until June. If the mills and factories in all sections are so busy that wages can be increased it means the wheel of fortune is going round doing what good it can. That the President meets Reed on Jekyl Island is another proof of how much the future of country and statesmen is connected with those insular possessions. "Of course rich men understand that their gold won't buy their way into heaven?" "Well I notice they never put anything but a nickel or copper in the collection plate." Detroit Jounal. No part of the $50,000 appropri ated by the last Legislature for the support and maintenance of the State prison has been used, nor will it be used until the suit with Capt. Day has been decided. In the printed list of the tele phones in Oxford the names of Mr. J. F. White No. 9 and Mr. W. E, Massenbnrg No. 14 were over looked by the printer and you are asked to add these numbers to your list. The Board of Supervisors of Fish ing Creek will meet at Clay on the first Saturday in April at 2 o'clock p. m. All supervisor are requested to be present and all overseers that have net reported their roads are re quested to do so. W. A. Parham, Chairman. In the Minnesota .Legislature a bill has been introduced appropriate ing $1,500 for use by the Governor in paying cable tolls in getting in formation about Minnesota soldiers now in the Philippines. The infor mation will relate to the health and well being of the soldiers and will be for the benefit of relatives and friends. Isreal D. Hargett, the colored postmaster at Rocky Mount, N. C., was arrested in Wasington City on a warrant sworn out by the postoffice authorities, charging him with niis approprhiton of the funds of his office. He was brought before United States Commissioner at Raieih, and committed to jail in default of bond in the sum of $2,000. Farmers would do well to take advantage of the fact that, simply by the asking, they can have sent to them eyery month the Bulletin of the Agricultural Experiment station, containing an analysis of fertilizers, and a registration of gnano. The labor reports may also be had free of charge, merely by writing to the Commissioner of Labor. The Methodist State Orphanage and Home of Superannuated and Indigent Methodist Preachers, to gather with the industrial build ing and several buildings connected with those institutions will be erect on one of the prettiest spots in all of Wake county within 150 yards of the Raleigh city limits and 20 min utes' walk of the capitol building. Several telegrams and letters have been received from some of the northern cities asking if there is an anti trust law in this state, and if so, what is the purport of such law. Of cours the reply to this question is that the last general assembly did ooa an nnti-tnst. law. it is not effect- w--- ive either in regulating or suppress ing trusts. No trusts, however, are organized under the laws of this state. A father, on going into his stable the other day, found his little son astride one of the horses with paper and pencil in his hand. "Why, my boy," he exclaimed, "what are you doing?" "Writing a composition," was the reply. "Well, why don't you write in the house?" asked the father. "Because" answered the lit tle fellow, "the teacher told me to write a composition on a horse and I'm doing it." Major Lamar Fontaine, a civil engineer of Lyons, Miss., declares he has discovered in Arkansas, spread ing over three counties, the remain of Cof urns oncfi the metropolis of the Mound Builders, and undoubtedly the tv. lovrroct p.itv in tne world, manor Fontaine estimates mat n must nave had a population of 11.000,000 in the urban section along.

It is said that 9.000 poople have been vaccinated in Greenboro. We ask you to read the change in Landis & Easton's advertisement on 4th page. Lt. O. C. Blackley has gone to Durham with the expectation of mak ing it his home. Roxboro voted for the issuing of bonds tor water works Monday by a majority of 174. An Easter reception will be held at tne Uxtord beminary next Monday night and promises to be a most'en- joyable affair. Millionare Col. J. S. Carr is not above the people as he is a juror in Durham Superior court this week. Col. R. O. Gregory and Capt. A F. Spencer are early birds with the hook and line, A few days ago they caught out of Col. Gregorv's pond 132 nice fish. Albert Renn, who is now maks ing Henderson his home, and Miss Katy Blackley were married Tues day morning and left for Henderson as soon as the ceremony was per formed. The remains of Miss Gertrude Hunt, who died in Raleigh on the 23rd reached Oxford next day and were interred in Elm wood Cemetery. She was the youngest daughter of John W. Hunt and had been afflicted for years. We are pleased to say that there is no smallpox within fifty miles of Oxford, and if it should happen to come we will certainly let our county friends know it; our town authori ties are using every precaution against the inception of the disease. The popular and able Senator Hicks is good pluck, but he had to succumb to Colonel Grippe last Thursday and was forced to retire to his home for repairs. He was com pelled to remain the Colonel's victim until Monday when, owing to the splendid care ot Mrs. Hicks, went his way rejoicing. Well, well, the noted negro lover for pie, Chas. Cooke, of Warrenton, is to leaye the State and locate be yond the Mississippi. Would to God that he could induce negro pardoner Dan Russell to go with him. Eyery true white man in North Carolina will offer a prayer of thanksgiving for such a deliverance. Chapel Hill Correspondent of Durham Sun says: Prof. Cobb and a number of students returned Sat urday evening from a trip to Person and Granville counties, where they spent several , days cf last week studying the geological structure of the regions round the copper mines in those localities. The boys seemed glad to get back. They say that their studies were interesting, but that they were "walked down," The E. H. Crenshaw Co. are never behind time and have received a very large spring stock of a splendid asc sortment ot goods of a rare value, and beautiful springtime effects, piles and piles of new clothing, dress goods, notions, shoes, hats, &c, are to be seen on every hand, spring purchasers can save money, time and trouble, by going to Crenshaw Co., for what they need as they are large buyers and are content with a small profit and hence the popularity of the firm. Read their message to you in this paper and call whenever you need anything as this farm is noted for bargains in big line of goods. The editor thanks Mr. Fred J. Crews for a handsomely gotten up myitation of the Wilson Cotillon Club to attend their Easter German, Friday evening, April 7th at 9 o'clock. We know it will be a grand affair, and beauty, grace and chivs airy will be in attendance in all its magnificent granduer. We would like to be present, and mingle with the people of Wilson once more as it has been 25 years sicca we walked the streets of that now hustling town, but we are not as young as we use to be and cannot attend, and ask our dear old friend, George Wainwright, of the up to-date town of Wilson, to tip the light fantastic toe for us. GIRLS SHUNNED BY HEN. Feminine Types That Are not Popu lar With the Other Six. There are many girls who are shun ned by men and for ;he first part the fault lies with themselves. The girl who never exercises her self to be agreeable unless she can have evrything her own way is one of them, for there is not a man alive who will give way in everything to a girl. The girl who scolds is another type: she may be perfectly good tem pered, but she has contracted the scolding habit, and so she is left alone to scold at her pleasure. Then there is the girl with the haughty manner and cold stare. No man dares to make love to her, be cause there is nothing whatever to love in her. So the girl scowls at what she considers their bad taste, utterly ignorant of the fact that her own foolish conduct is the sole cause of their neglect. Another girl without a lover is the painfully shy maiden. She likes to see men at a distance, but the moment they draw near she drives them back with embarrassment. They retire simply out of pity, seeing her dis tress and awakward bashfulness. Last on the list comes the girl who always has something smart to say about every one she sees, ridiculing Deoble in order to be considered clever, little knowing how men in tensely dislike to hear her pulling everybody's character to pieces for their amusement. Jsccange. FATAL EXPLOSION AT DURH Afl. Bursting of a Steam Pipe Kills W. H. Branson. March 24th, at Durham, anew five inch pipe in a pump house at the Durham Cotton Manufacturing Com pany's mill burst with fatal results. W. H. Branson, secretary and treasurer of the mill, was so terribly scalded that he died that afternoon. J. C. Mathes, the superintendent of the mill, was also burned about the face and will lose his eyesight. The DiDe burst iust above their heads, and so powerful was the force I of thft ATnlrtsinn that rrt ef tVio I . . f - v - brick wall was torn away. The pipe was being used for the first time and the two men had gone into the house to see how the pumps were working. As they entered they closed the door behind them. Almost immediately the pipe burst and in the blinding steam they found difficulty in going back to the door and opening it. When they finally did so they were so scalded about the face, head and body that the skin peeled off in many places. Mathes is resting easier tonight but he is not out of danger. Branson was one of the most prominent and progressiye mill m. n in the state. The New Revenue Law. The new Reyenne law passed at the recent session of the Legislature has not yet been distributed, but an advance copy of it shows where the State license tax is imposed for the first time, the tax beginning with the present fiscal year: Wood and coal dealers, $20 to $5 for each firm or indiyidual, the tax being regulated by the size of the town. In Raleigh and all towns of over 12,000 population it is $20; towns of less than 12,000 and as much as 8,000 inhabitants, $15; 4,000 to 8,000, $10; less than 4,000, $5 per annum. The tax does not apply to person selling wood cut from their own land where less than 100 cords annually are sold. Real estate dealers and rent col lectors who make it a business, $15 down to $2.50, according to the size of the town in which they do busi ness. Bicycle dealers, $10 to $5 accord ing to population of town. Bicycle repairers, following their trade sim ply and not selling bicycles so busi ness, are not taxed. Cotton factors, buying and selling cotton, other than merchants dealing in other merchandise, $15 to $2,50 in the same way. Cotton compresses, $100 to $10, according to the number of bales compressed. Dealers in theatre tickets, $0. Photographers (the tax on whom was removed a few years ago), $5. Ice manufacturers, $10. Laundrymen, $10. Undertakers, $10. Lumber dealers, $10. fiillinery Opening. Although Tuesday was cloudy our millinery people had their Spriug openings, and the ladies crowded the millinery stores, of Landis & Easton, Long Bro's. Misses Kronheimer and Miss Mary Bell Gregory, who has just opened next door to Mr. Jackson's confectionery store. The different stores were thronged with the fair ladies as they had been turned into magic gardens embow ered with the most wonderful exam ples of mans surpassing ability to vie with natures fairest treasures and were filled with the best examples of the flower maker's Art. The great season is at hand and the Millinery is brilliant with rose and violet and pansy. And such roses, and such pansies! As we viewed them they seemed to await the vital spot to send forth their fragrance. We never saw so many flowers at one time and such pretty ones. As the ladies chatted with each other and beholding them would exclaim: They just too lovely for anything. We found flowers ot muslin, and 6HK ana velvet. Life-like copies of foilage and grasses. Everything that adds to the charms of dear woman that is pretty and anything that is tasteful met our gaze. Each one of the milliner's made the coming of the ladies a pleasure, as they beheld the new styles of hats and trimmings. All in all it was a great day with the adies and they really enjoyed the rounds of the different openings. Beats tbeKlondlke. Mr A n. Thomas, of Marvsvil le.

N xt Sunday is Easter and is dis tinctively a festival of the church, and it is within the precincts of the sanctuary that is sought the true realization of the meaning of Easter. The churches, responsive to the in spiration of the event, surround the day with impressive ceremonial, and in sermon, in prayer and song, and the silent eloquence of fairest floral offering, is the theme of the Risen Lord exalted. Easter, in the world of nature the sent nel to the death of winter and the birth of spring; Easter, in the world of man, to them that believe, the defeat of the grave and the tri umph of immortality, the keystone of the arch of Christian faith. Miss Gregory's Millinery Opening. Among the many pleasant things whieh come with the adyent of the season "when a vonng man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love" aie the beautiful things which are deftly put together by feminine fingers and constitute in the end what is famil iarly known as a hat. To some of these products the only name which seems adequate to describe and con yey the idea of their grandeur is "creation." Out of the great num ber of flowers, feathers, ribbons, mousselines and the rest, one can find specimens which will please all tastes and satisfy all demands. The many ladies who called to attend the spring opening of Miss Mary lielle Gregory can testify that there are all kinds and yarieties in her stock, all the latest things, and they can usually understand how, out of all these things, a beautiful and harmo niou3 whole in the shape of a hat may be produced. These spring openings have social features incident to them which render them very pleasant in the lile of small communities, and this was emphasized Tuesday by the serving of delightful refreshments by Miss Gregoiy to all her callers. The la dies of Oxford and the county will do well to examine her stock before purchasing their spring outfits. Beauty Is Blood Beep. Cflpan hlorvl means a clean skin. No beaut v without it.

A TRAGEDY NEAR KINSTON Lonnie Lane Killed Miss Glennie Sauls and Then Committed Suicide Kinston, N. C, March 25 Yesterday morning Mr. Lonnie Lane,' about 22 years old, Miss Glennie Sauls about fourteen, both of Fort Barnwell, a village nineteen miles east of Kinston, were noticed taking a walk. Not returning, the neighbors began to search for them, and about four o'clock yesterday af ternoon, their bodies were found near the village, it appearing that he had shot her and killed himself with a pistol. Both were of well-to-do families. The young man had been forbidden to visit the house, his attentions to the young girl not being acceptable to her parents, and this was probably the cause of the affair. The young girl's mother was visiting in Georgia and her father had gone to Newborn at the time of the tragedy. Kilnrate Your ltowfU Willi aoaret.
