The Shakespeare Club takes pleas ure in announcing that at its most earnest solicitation Miss Dora Duty Jones, of Washington, D. C, has consented to present one of her illus trated lectures on Art to an Oxford audience. The subject chosen is, "The Ma donna in Art." It is felt that this subject will interest all people of re finement and artistic taste, for the " Madonna in Art" is the culminat ing flower of one of the dominating ideas of the "Renaissance," "The realization of the idealization of womanhood." An ideal presented in literature, by Dante in his Beat rice, in history by the whole system of chivalry, in Art by Fra Angeiico, Raphael and Correggio in their Madonnas. The idea given by these Madonnas, is Mother love, as expressed by the words, " and Mary kept all these things in ber heart," religious devo tion, as presented by the expression, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord;" words that have been an inspiration to " Saintly maidens and godly ma trons " for centuries. And what more beautiful way to gain this in spiration than through the medium of these exquisite productions con ceived in consecrated solitude, exe cuted with the inspired touch of re ligious devotion. For the great artists, like the great musicians give of their best when they give to religion- The lecture has been given before some of the most refined and culti vated audiences in the country, in Washington, Baltimore and Rich mond and in Raleigh in our own State. The Shakespeare Club feel that in securing this delightful and interesting lecture, they are paying a delicate compliment to the refined taste of the people of Oxford. This lecture will be given at Miss Hil liard's on Tuesday, April 11th, at 8 o'clock p. m. Price of tickets 50 cts. TheSnre Ia Orlppe t'ure.

Bullock, which occurred Wed nesday morning at 11:30 o'clock. Mrs. Bullick was setting up in a chair and told her nurse that she felt ill, and by the time she was laid on the bed her sweet spirit had taken its flight to a home beyond the smiling and weeping, without an opportunity of bidding a devoted husband and children good bye, as Mr. Bulloek was at his place of business. The summons was so sudden he did not Have time to reach her side before- An escort of Angels robed in white Had kissed away her pain. Then, wing to wing, they soared above, Healing her soul to the God of Love. The Savior met them at the gate ajar, Clasped in his hand a shimmering star, And checking a moment their upward flight, Crowned her an angel of light. She was a devoted member of the Methodist church, a loving wife, a kind neighbor, a true and sympathet ic friend, and more than all these, she was a noble christian woman and never lost an opportunity of doing good. Her home life so full of sweet ness, so full of love for Christ leaves about the sad home of our dear friend a beautiful benediction, and to him the editor's heart goes out in the ten derest sympathy. She leaves behind a true and de yoted husband and three children, one an infant two weeks old, and many relatives to mourn her sudden death As we go to press no announce ment as to the time of the funeral has been made.

JLvery piece showed that the pupils had been very carefully trained, and the taste exercised in the selections goes to prove that Prof. Buchanan and his assistants understand the capacity of each pupil placed in their care Notwithstanding there was not one failure, and every pupil acted his part well, we cannot refrain from mentioning some who deserved special credit. The singing of Prof. Buchanan and Miss Clyde Lyon charmed the audience. The piano pieces were especially good, but the Mocking Bird played by Misses Emma, Maude and Louise Buchanan brought forth much applause. Miss Louise also played a very pretty solo, "The Song of the Brook," by Warren. Her touch and expression was excellent. The declaimers who deserye special mention were Messrs. Otho Lyon Walter Gooch, John Buchanan, Miss Maude Buchanan, Messrs. Robert Smith, Devere Mangum, Bruce San- derford, Alvis Pleasants and Earnest Thomason. When Master John Buchanan recited " Custer's Last Charge," by Frederick Whittaker, the audience were held spell bound with wonder and amazement. His rendition of this beautiful poem was above critic cism and the Prof, may yet be yery proud of his little orator as he is destined to be an able speaker. Mis?? Ethel Thomasson recited verv nicely and Miss Maude Buch anan rendered a verv pretty poem, ittelf is full of beautiful thought, but when it is recited as Miss Maude always reeites her pieces it will never fail to be appreciated. After the program was over Prof. Buchanan made a few farewell re marks to his pupils, extending to them his best wishes and thanked the audience for the good attention and their liberal patronage. He then introduced Rey. T. J. Gattis who delivered two very handsome medals to the young men who had improved most in declamation dur ing tbe scholastic year, it was tbourrht by many that only one medal would be given, but as there seemed to be a tie between Messrs Otho Lvon and Walter Gooch, each one received a medal. Mr. Gattis remarks and advice to the young men were good and appropriate. Prof. Buchanan has aroused the people in this vicinity in the cause of education and we hope to have him with us many years and wish him much success in whatever he undertakes. Spectator.
