Physicians say it is an utter physicial impossibility for hearts to break, but they crack dangerously near to it sometimes. Did you say that Oxford was sadly in need of some public spirited citizens that feel a deep interest in the town as well as themselves ? There is no concentration on any thing, and everybody is fighting to make buckle and tongue meet and to get ahead of the other fellow. Should the need arise they'll doubtless fight in Kentucky. The natives there may not be the bravest in the country, but they won't take water. Invitations are out announceing the marriage of Mr. A. S. Carring ton Jr., and Miss Mary A.

Rev. Dr. Hufham is deeply in terested in reform in penitentiary management of convicts and says he will not cease to agitate for a sys tem which will be just and honorable to the State and humane to convicts. The Republican part of the Su preme Court, which is the majority, decides all cases in the interest of party followers and the Rep-Pop combine regardless of rights given under the Constitution of the United States. The Oxford gunners are laid in the great shade on bird hunting. We are informed that Mr. Thos. Long mire killed 150 partridges during one days hunt. If it is a fact he is the champion bird hunter of this section. The most successful elopist late ly reported is the Rev. Dr. Sharett, a ninety-year old inmate of a Ten nessee poor house, who recently joined the Mormon church and elop ed with fiye women, all poor house paupers. The Scate of North Carolina now consumes in her factories about 350,000 bales of cotton per year. The number of operatives employed is about 35,000.

Our most highly esteemed friend Mr. Dave Hunt, of Salem Township, is now with Cooper Warehouse, Henderson, and is a hustler on wheels and seeks the patronage of his numerous friends.

Don't that look like Oxford market is a hummer on averages? Mr. W. B. Royster, of Bullock, was over at Dinwiddie Court , House Va., Sunday last at church and saw two old gentlemen ride up in a bug gy 59 years old, the horse 25, one of the men 83 and the other 80 years of age. This was certainly an old crowd together. There is talk about Congress man elect Roberts, from Utah, "re signing," having a "rough road to travel" and all that sort of thing. A man who can successfully manage three wiyes will probably be equal to any emergency that may confront him in the fight for his seat. What is the matter with North Carolina1? At Wake county court eleven divorces were granted; seven or eight were granted at Guilford court; and quite a number in Anson, Durham, Cleveland and other coun ties The Chicago craze seems to have struck the Old North State Charlotte News Would it not be a good idea if all the business houses in Oxford that can do so would close on Thanksgiving day ? A person ought to te able to return thanks at least once a year if no more. Besides this, a holiday now and then bene fits both employers and employees. Usual thanksgiving services will probably be held in most of the churches. The Attorney-General delivers an opinion that only in instances specified in section 739 of the Code are the witnesses entitled to one-half their fees; that as costs are matters entirely of statutory regulation, and as he is not aware of any statute whereby witnesses are allowed half fees, where the grand jury ignores the bill, either in cases of a present ment or warrant upon which the bill is sent and ignored by the grand jury, he is of opinion that such costs are not properly allowable.

He carried with him some very handsome floral de signs sent by the Cadets of this fine school, of which the deceased young gentleman was once a manly stu dent. Berry Cheatham, a worthy negro, came to his death Monday eyening by a tree falling on him at the farm of Charlie Tunstall. He employed him only for the evening and sent him in the woods to cut logs for the mill, one lodged and in getting it down had to cut another on it, and when it came it killed Cheatham. It was sad indeed for he leaves a wife and many children on the cold charities of the world. The Charming "Bee" at Creed moor has ceased to buzz in our col umns. Old Sleuth must be off on an extended trail in Person county, as he has been silent a long time, and Goobers, it is said, has no time to devote to small matters as he is making preparations for a union of hearts. Cindy Jenkins must be still on the hunt for "some nice young man" and will not spare a minutes time to let the people hear from her. But comes to the front all of you and send us the news. The people of Oxford and the students of our Schools have heara Rev. K. H. Basmajian, an Armenian of Constantinople, lecture on that country with much interest during the past week. On Friday night he lectured to the cadets of Horner School, on Saturday night at Oxford Seminary, and Snnday afternoon at the Baptist church. His lecture is a yery interesting one, and among other pointed things said the United States heard the cry of the Cubans under Spanish butchery, but did not hear the cry of Armenians who were murdered in cold blood because they believed in the Christian religion. He will lecture at the Orphan Asylum Thursday night.

Kitchin Enters Upon His Second Term. It is well that our readers know something of the career of their true and faithful Congressman, and we feel that it is our duty to them and him to say a word at this time. It is well known"to all of our Dem ocratic friends that ia the last Congress the Democrats were in the minority and consequently were uuable to do anything as a party. While Mr. Kitchin was of the minority party and could not bring about the enactment of any law which was opposed by the Republi cans, yet he was always at his post battling earnestly for the measures he conceived to be right and oppos ing most earnestly and forcibly what he believed to be against the best interests of our pec pie. We fel saf! in saying that no young man has ever enjoyed the con fidence and respect of his associates, of all parties, to a greater extent for his first term in Congress than did Mr. Kitchin. This confidence and respect was the natural result of his patriotic bearing and earnest en deavors. He was regarded as one of the strongest members in debate and whenever he arose to speak he at once had the attention of the House, and he always spoke to the point. It was our privilege to be in Washington several months during the last term of Congress and dur ing this time we had opportunity to form an estimate of Mr. Kitchin's usefulness a9 a Representative. We were very much gratified at his uni versal popularity and faithfulness to duty. His experience in the last session will be of great help to him in the coming session and our people may be assured that their representative will be inflexible in his fidelity and untiring in his efforts to do what is for their best interests. He combines conservatism with courage of convictions in a most happy manner, and his ability as a speaker is pronounced. We predict for hhn increasing reputation as An able and faithful representative. Chills and a torpid liver go hand in hand.
