The Oxford Lodge of Odd Fel

this morning for Afton, Va., to
spend a month or more. Mrs. Tyree,
who has been quite sick at Uxtord,
came over last evening and is look

since her severe illness. She is rap
idly gaining her health and strength
again, and the trip to Afton will no
doubt benefit her greatly. Dr. Tyree
is off on his annual vacation granted
him by his church. Durham Sun of

Here are some of the terrible
things which according to a country
exchange, are likely to befall a de-
inquent: "Last week a delinquent
subscriber said he would pay up Sat
urday if he lived. He's dead. Another,
'I'll see you tomorrow.' He's bund.
Still another one said: 'I hope to
pay you this week or go to the devil.'
He's crone. There are hundreds who
ought to take warning by these pro-
scrastinators and pay up their sub
scriptions now."
There is a clash between the
corporation commission and Gover
nor Russell as to which shall employ
counsel in the injunction cases be
fore Judge Simonton, in the railway
assessment matter. The commission
has no funds, but knows well that
the legislature will pass a relief bill
to pay its counsel. It, therefore, ap
points them. The governor, as stat
ed, has chosen his. The governor

F. B. Wimbish has had a soft-snap

The nurse was out in the yard
Saturday with the little eighteen
months' old girl of Mr. and Mrs.
Lunkins, of Roxboro, and for some
cause the nurse went into the house
a few minutes, leaving the child
alone. Upon her return she found
that the child had fallen into a tub
of water and was drowned. Physi

DEATH OF W. O. HARDAWAY,
Had often Visited Oxford and Hade
many Friends.
Mr. W. O. Hasdaway, brother of
Rev. J. S. HaHaway, the able and
beloved pastor of the Oxford Baptist
Church, died at Amelia Courthouse,
Va., on Saturday night, July 29th,
at 12 o'clock.
Mr. Hardaway frequently visited
his brother in Oxford and made a
favorable impression among our peo
ple, who deeply regret to learn of his
death, and extend their heartfelt
sympathies to his brother, Rey. J. S.
Hardaway, and other members of
the family.
He had been suffering with Bright's
disease since 1S9G. He kept up and
cheerful to the last. He was stricken
with apoplexy about 3 p. m. Satur
day and died at 12 o'clock. He was
buried in the chutch yard of old
Grub Hill Episcopal Church, one of
the ancient landmarks of Virginia,
where his ancestors sleep.
The following tribute from the pen
of a distinguished member of the
Virginia bar appeared in the Dan
ville Register, of Aug. 2nd:
The character of W. O. Hardaway,
whose death was announced in yes
terday's Register, deserves some
thing more than a passing notice.
He was indeed a notable person in
many respects and his life, in its
short course, presented many ex
amples of true and noble manhood,
which his friends would gladly pre
serve for the imitation and admira
tion of the young men, whose lives
are yet before them. The writer
well remembers W. O. Hardaway,
when he first came into a neighbor
ing county and began the practice
ot law with small means, tew ac
quaintance and fewer friends. It
was a lesson in the growth of man
hood to watch how by earnest and
persistent efforts and labors in his
chosen profession, frank and honest
demeanor among men, and bold and
active discharge ot his duties as a
citizen and lawyer, he won, day by
day, the confidence and respect of
his fellows and soon built up for him
self an influence and law practice,
which made him independent. He
was not only a competent and sue
cessful lawyer, but also a patriotic
citizen, decided in his opinions and
outspoken and aggressive in main
taining them. To him public duty
was as imperative and controlling as
private honor, and in the mainte
nance and support of what he believed
to be right in politics he was as brave
and punctilious as in maintaining
his private integrity and fair fame.
His strong fight for a state conyen
tion in the face of the opposition of
politicians is but one of the many
evidences of his unselfish devotion to
public duty. W. O. Hardaway in
private was honorable and chivaU
rous, while frank and perfectly truth
ful in word and deed, His mind was
naturally quick and apprehensive
and had been carefully trained and
cultivated by him not only in the
learning of the law, but in the study
of the best products of English litera
ture. His conversational powers
were extraordinary, and he was al
ways the leading spirit in social
gatherings. His success in the prac
tice of law in Henry county in his
early manhood and in Roanoke, of
which city he was for a number of
years, and indeed until failing health
compelled him to retire, the common
wealth's attorney and a leading ad
vocate marked him as a lawyer of
abilitv and a business man of popu
larity and influence, while the deep
feeliner of loss and sorrow with which
nnmberless friends will receive the
Announcement of his death will tes
tify to his kindly heart and unselfish
n.tnrfl. his sincere friendship and
generous and loving character.

OXFORD IN THE LEAD.
Farmers Never Fail to get Highest
Average on our Market.
As the new tobacco season is at
hand, and the producers will begin
to market their crop in earnest we
want to call their attention to the
fact that they cannot now sell their
tobacco at the barn door a has been
the custom for years, as the Internal
Revenue Department has ruled
otherwise, which we think will re-
down to the direct interest of the
farmer. Of course they will begin
to cast about for the market that
has always maintained the highest
averages on all grades and will turn
to Oxford as it has proved to be in
the past steady and reliable.
Our splendid corps of buyers are
always ready and willing to pay as
much or more tor all erades of to
bacco as can be possibly obtained on
any other market, owing to the fact
that they always hold large orders
for, all grades.
Oxford stands at head of the list
of progressive markets in this terri-
tory, and has achieved a splendid re-
cord for reliability and ton-notch
Pries-
Our warehousemen are numbered
with the best in North Carolina, are
ever watchful tor the interest of
farmer friends.
The highest aim of all should be
J- i ..T J 1 I I
that Uxtord shall make greater
strides this year than ever before in
the sale of tobacco. It can be done
if everybody will put their shoulders
to the wheel and use every energy
possible and show the farmers that
it is to their best interest to patronize
the Oxford market where they will
receive the highest averages, kind
and courteous treatment at the
hands of our warehousemen, buyers
and business men.
