Oxfora In Days Gone By.
1
Editor op Public Ledger: I read
with a good deal of interest a letter
in your paper eriying an account of
Oxford in the days gone by. As I
belong to a later generation I thought
it would be well to follow up the
story and report the gradual progress
of Oxford from a small hamlet to
quite a large country town. In the
forties Oxford was inhabited by a
refined industrious, educated popu
lation of about five hundred people.
The town originally was the planta
tion of Mr. Thomas B. Littlejohn
who sold off a portion for a town, laid
it oti in lots and named it Oxford.
But in the forties although sparely
settled it had all the advantages of
an incorporated town. There were
then yery few schools in eastern
Carolina and many girls and boys
come here to be educated. The male
and female academies which were
side by side with only a plank fence
between on the lots now owned by
Mrs. Bryant and Mrs. McGuire were
filled with pupils from different parts
of the State each year. The prin
cipals of the schools were Southern
people, but they were always assist
ed by teachers who come from the
North and were well qualified for the
situation which they held. Oxford
then had a wide spread reputation as
an educational centre and there was
a considerable rivalry between the
girls who were going to school here
and those who attended St. Mary's at
Raleigh, and at no time would we
have given the palm to St. Mary's.
We were all very proud of our three
institutions of learning which the
town had then. The small log cabin
which stood in Horner's grove and
which was afterwards the site of
Horner's school, was well filled with
the younger boys and girls of the
town who afterwards became leading
citizens. Miss Lolly Hicks who mar
ried Mr. Pool was the teacher and
she had a remarkable capacity for
imparting knowledge to the children.
It was a long walk from town and
each child carried a lunch which was
greatly enjoyed at 12 o'clock. We
had recess from 12 until 2, and that
time was spent in playing and romp
ing and swinging after we had eaten
the lunch and had drank the cool
pure refreshing water from the
spring near by. The boys were polite
and courteous, and one claimed a
sweetheart and every one tried to be
head of the class as there was turn
ing down when one missed the an
swer to any question. When we
finished the simple couise here we
went both boys and girls to Mrs.
Cook's school which then stood on
the lot now occupied by the new
Episcopal church. Our studies here
were more advanced and the scholars
preserved the same order and court
esy to each other and all were great
ly attached to the teacher. We con
tinued here uatil we entered our
teens and then went to the male and
female Academies. At this time we
had begun to realize that we were
fast verging to manhood and woman
hood and that some of our destines
might be linked together in the fu
ture, and now and then an apple with
a loye letter pinned on or a bouquet
with a request to call was thrown
over the fence, and there never was
a happier or merrier set of young
people. Our examinations too did
credit to the town and people came
from many distant places to attend
them. The Academies then were
owned by the town and the trustees
managed the finances and em
ployed the teachers. Mr. Sam L.
Venablo was the female teacher for
many years and he and his family
lived in the house now called the
Baptist Seminary. His wife was a
refined educated lady well qualified
to be the chaperone of young ladies.
A girl who completed her education
here was well qualified to teach in
any school in the South. For many
years the female school was under
Presbyterian influence and the girls
attended the services at the little
brick church which has been pulled
down to make room for a larger one.
When there was no service there they
were permitted to go to other
churches with the teachers. There
were no railroads in the State then
except the Wilmington and Weldon
and the lialeigh and Gaston railroads
and the merchants here did profitable
business. R. N. and D. C. Herndon,
R. and R. H. Kingsbury, J. C.
Cooper and Robert Kyle, made good
fortunes merchandising. They kept
fine goods and the wealthy farmers
as well as the pupils at the schools
were glad to patronize them. At
that time too Oxford boasted of more
professional men than any town in
the State. It was the custom then to
haye six courts a year here and there
was more ability at this bar than
any where in the South. Judge
Badger, Gov. Graham, Judge Saun
ders, Abram Venable and almost all
the leading lawyers in the State
practiced at this bar. The ladies
were permitted to listen to the
speeches in criminal cases and we
had an intellectual treat. These
were the days of Southern ease and
luxury when every man owned his
own plantation and slaves, and the
whites as a class followed intel
lectural persuits and enjoyed the
proceeds of slave labor to the fullest
extent. True hospitalitty was the
characteristic of the South and
master and slave had an abundance
of everything. No man however
poor lacked for necessaries, for all
could make a living. Masters did
what they could for the comfort and
happiness of their slaves, and they
were obedient and contented. Ox
ford then looked like a New England
village with its houses painted white
with green blinds, wells enclosed,
lots in perfect order, with trees and
shrubbery. There were no tramps
and beggars then or loafing negroes
on the streets and weeds by the way
side, but there was employment for
every one and an air of happinees
and peace everywhere.
The principal hotel was the Oxford
hotel situated at the corner of Front
street and Hillsboro street. This
hotel was built by Mr. Thomas B.
Littlejohn for the accommodation of
travellers before Oxford was an in
corporated town, but it was only a
cross roads with five or six dwelling
houses. It had eight rooms and a
long sepaiate building for dining
room and ball room, and the fashion
and style of dress of the ladies who
attended these balls was not surpass
ed any where in this country. There
was a row of offices on Hillsboro
street which was used as sleeping
apartments for the lawyers during
court week. Mr. Littlejohn rented
out this hotel for years and then sold
it and finally it was burnt and was
replaced by the present buildings.
There was also a house of cheaper
grade known as the Black Tavern on
the corner of College street and
Hillsboro street which was also
burnt. The old Methodist church
stood on the corner diagonally from
the Presbyterian church and many
revivals were held there byMrTillett,
Mr. Wyche, Mr. Norman, all long
since dead, which resulted in the
conversion of many leading citizens
of the town. Nearly all this genera
tion have passed away or moved off
and there are very few of the boys
and girls who went to school here
then still alive. Strange faces pass
on the streets, new enterprises are
started and dwellings are now scat
tered over what was once cornfields
and gardens. And may God speed
the time when it will be still more
progressive! As an educational
centre its reputation is still wide
spread, for each year young men and
young women are graduated at the
Horner Schoc l,the Baptist Seminary,
and the Misses Hilliards school, who
go out in the world well fitted for
the duties of life and exert an influ
ence for good upon the present and
future generations.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Syrui- of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

Was glad to meet the affable and
fine looking W. T. Crews, of Dur
ham, late of the flat woods the other
day, may his wealth increase with
his years, and his pleasures be multi
plied by the tracks he has made in
the flat woods.
Mrs. T. J. Brummitt had the first
snaps of the season and vegetables in
abundance quite early. If it turns
out T. J. makes as good a magistrate
as he does a farmer and gardener
we will find the Legislature made no
mistake in his appointment.
Quite a lot of ladies were out at
Rehobeth Church on childrens day

order indeed; we hear Elm Jay was
present and have been looking for a
write up of the occasion by her gift
ed pen.
Two men were discussing politics
lately, one says to the other, what
does it take to make a Democrat?
The other saidjto him,"Agentleman,"
and the conversation ceased by both
declaring they would vote for the
amendment and walked down the
road arm in arm.
There is a young man who is so
far advanced and familiar with a
family in our midst that when the
lady of the house came in and en
quired of the girls if their papa had
gone to Sunday School, the young
man answered yes mama. And he
felt he had answered prematurely
just a little.
We gladly read the nice para
graphs of Elf on first page under
heading, "News from the people."
A prominent place in the paper as
they well deserved. Now Elf you
need not be sorry for not giving
waffles, as your fare was so nice
would have pleased the most squeam
ish epicurian besides we can come
again.
Four of the prettiest little Misses
that live in our midst were out gather
ing strawberries Friday, and as we
did not call on Sunday to get some
of the tarts we know nothing of their
success. Now this item reads as if
it is a little old, as strawberries haye
been gone for a week or two, but the
little Misses are not old and there is
the attraction.
Two of the best lots of tobacco we
have seen this year are owned by C.
K. Hester and Luther Gordon; it will
be only a few days before it is well
in the top if the seasons continues.
When we have more time we wish to
say more about the tobacco made on
and along side of that old historic
Peddlers branch which will take in
a lot of the best farmers to be found
in the county.
The Rev. Mr. Brown,who is filling
the appointment of Rev. K. D.
Homes on the Oxford circuit, preach
ed at Bethel the third Sunday even
ing with the same acceptability of
all his former efforts. To say that
our people like him, would not be
putting it strong enough, for thev
love him and that dearly. He is a
young man of great promise, and we
bespeak for him some day a place
with the galaxy of great men that
adorn the North Carolina conference.
A process of extending and possi
bly doubling the span of human life
is said to have been discovered by
Prof. Joseph R. Hawley and Alex.
C. Wiener of the Chicago Clinical
school. The return to youth, it is
asserted is produced by hypodermic
injections of the lymphatic fluid of
animals, particularly youth goats.
The theory is that if the mineral de
posits which accumulate in the bones
in the process of life can be replaced
with the life cells contained in the
lymphatic glanus of goats deteriora
tion of the bones will be prevented
and elasticity and youth will be re
tained to the system much longer.
A number of human beings, it is
said haye been experimented on in
Chicago in the same way and with
the same results restoring old age
to almost youth again. Now if this
turns out to be true, it will be glad
tidings to the old bachelors and to
Cindy Jenkins, and that she did not
purchase her new buggy the other
day too soon.
