OXFORD, N. Our market was with tobacco Friday. not oyerrun Travel is a liberal educator it shows vou so many places where you couldn't be hired to live.

The sweet voices of the dear Orphans float out upon the air these beautiful moonlight nights as they often entertain themselves by sing ing familar hymns.

Hicks' school, and the "old man" is much pleased to meet again the bright faces of his 20 dear little boy and girl friend who attends this extra fine primary school. Tha judges who convicted Cap' taia Dreyfus have signed a recom mendation for mercy for the con demned man. But if they had been just, as they now try to appear generous, there would be no occa sion to ask for mercy.

On Thursday morning a cus tomer in the dry goods department of the Crenshaw Co. threw a stump of cigarette down as he walked out and set fire to some cotton under the table.

We have not been able to attend but one day yet, but the prospects bid fair for a powerful meeting. The preach ing was excellent by Rev. J. L. Mar tin of this place, and before the ser vices closed several young men and women had taken a step toward lead ing a new life. God grant that it may be the most powerful meeting the people of Fellowship ever experi enced. We had the pleasure of shaking the hand of gallant "Goobers" not long ago. He must think his visit to this part of the county not worth writing about as we have looked the Public Ledger through every week since and have seen nothing from him. Some of our boys felt yery sad when he left as he carried with him one of our most hierblv esteemed young ladies but we suppose they felt very much better when she came back a few Sundays ago. and they learned that she only went as far as fetem. We are glad to say that Sunday school is being carried on at Fellow ship again. We had a splendid Sunday school there in the summer but our member grew less and less until it was entirely dead. We have only one fault to find now. Some of the young boys would stay out on the erround while the lesson were being said. Now boys we are not grumbling, but we entreat you to take a part in some class and thereby make the school more profitable for yourselves. The time is coming and we know not how near it may be when you will have to step in the older people's places not only in the Sunday school work but also in other things.
