A trustee says that within six months one building will be ready for use.

Henderson Geld Leaf. The Public Ledger is the peo ple's paper at least the people will take it and read it, and those who are too close-fisted to subscribe will read it anyway, and borrow it from their neighbors. The editor can say truly that he appreciates the pat ronage extended him during the past year, and earnestly hope to con tinue to merit the confidence of a free people as we are a great believer in freedom. The editior is proud to say he has not as yet become a slave, like some people he can put his fin ger on, to trusts, combinations or click, and hence does not find it nec essary to get permission from them i 1 t wnenever ne oesires to express an opinion. It is apparent to us in the days of trusts the boasted freedom with some people is a delusion and a snare. They Will Come and Qo AH the Same. Mr. Louis de Lacroix is in Tw York this week.

While it is a bad wound he is doing well. The dog was killed. There has been a decided in crease in the prices of fertilizers. The millions of tons of this product which are consumed annually make any variation in its prices an object of especial interest.

Broughton, one of our whole souled and warm-hearted citi zens and a valuable member of the Odd FeQows Lodge in Oxford, was the recipient at the hands of his brother member Tuesday night at tha regular meeting of a real hand some gold headed cane. The pre sentation was made by Grand Mas ter B. S. Royster in his usual elegant and happy style which was feelingly replied to by the recipient. The cause which led to this happy event was, some weeks ego the Odd Fel lows decided to have their large Lodge Room remodeled and improv ed and Mr. Broughton, who is ever willing to aduance the interest of Odd Fellowship, volunteered to do the plastering free of charge, being as he is an expert manipulator of mortar, and would not receive a cent for the work. It was a grateful tribute to his generositity for the members of the Lodge to remember Mr. Broughton in such a manner, as he is always ready to respond to the call of benevolence and charity. The handsome cane bears the fol lowing inscription: "Presented to R. Broughton by Oxford Lodge 103, I. O. O. F., Christmas, 1899." We Have Done our Best. The close of the century finds th Fublic Ledger with a large sub scription list for a county paper, and still being published at the same old stand battling for an Anglo-Saxon government, tor the interest of the farmers and against trusts, and for the building up of Oxford and Gran ville county. But thus far Oxford is behind all other towns in the State in establishing factories . which are town builders along with graded schools, If wind had counted' for anything among some of our people, Oxford would have become this year quite a manufacturing center aud our population would have been largely increased instead of diminishing daily on account or our close fisted monied men. Because Oxford enjoys a large leaf tobacco trade they seem to think that is sufficient for the needs of the town, and do not seem to be disturb ed a particle beca.use many of our citizens are forced to seek homes in manufacturing centers. But we are lead to believe they will come to their senses when it is to late, and realize the great blunder they have made. During the past year the Public Ledger has the pleasant satisfaction of knowing that it has done its duty by the town and county, using its best tflorts to advance the prosperty of both, and if it has not been ap preciated we cannot help it. There is one trouble among our people that of concentration and unaminity, and our town will not advance so long as this state of aff airs exist. Do away with star chambers, selfish combinations, and let us all unite on one common plane contributing our might for the upbuilding of our town.
