Christmas of 1900, which was greatly enjoyed by our people, is now of the past. The day was an ideal one and every one seemed joy ous and happy. There were only services at one church, the Episco pal, where Right Rev. Bishop Hor ner preached a very fine sermon to a large congregation. He was as sisted in the services by Kev. R. B. Owens, the Rector, and Rev. Fran cis Hiliiard. The music was excel lent and the services were beauti ful. Quite a handsome sum was col lected for the new chuich. The edifice was tastely decorated for the occasion. NResolutions are now in ordar and we earnestly hope our business men and principals of our good schools will decide to exterd to the Public Ledger a more liberal pa tronage in 1901 than in 1900, as the editor has always used his best ef forts to build up Oxford along with its schools and other enterprises. Oar highest aim has been to use our best energies in that direction. If you would give us your patronage it wonld enable us to publish a much better paper. We trust you will consider this fact, as we would greatly appreciate your patronage and do our best to give you value received. One Mr. Finch, of Vance county, an up-to-date black Radical, has been appointed a United States Commissioner for a purpose only that is to issue warrants against Democratic Registrars. If the truth was known we bet one Cyclone Second Messiah Garrett, who plays second fiddle as postmaster of the Drosnerous town of Henderson, is at the bottom of it. The Second Mes siah is noted for his wind and has blown in a United States Commis sioner tor Vance. Our true and tried Republican, J. W. Brown, a most excellent Commissioner, must haye been too honest,and could noc be used as a tool and hence the ap pointment of Finch. OXFORD BAPTIST HAPPY. Church at last Paid for Dedication Sermon Sunday. Our Baptist friends are quite happy now as they have after a struggle for several years cancelled the debt on their beautiful edi fice; although they have occupied it for about 5 years, and the dedica tion sermon was preached Sunday morning by Rev. G. W. Green, Missionary to China, who was on a visit to Oxford. Before the sermon Rev. J. B. Hardaway, the consecra ted pastor,made a statement, saying that the lot was bought in Febru ary 1892 and work commenced in J uly of same year and continued until the House of God was finish ed. To all who had aided in any way to the building of the church, he wished to thank theo), a -i he elt sure that God's blessings were upon all who had contributed to the building of the church. As Mr. J. M. Currin had aided so liberally in the erection of the church he want ed to especially thank him. and also the finance committee who had suc ceeded in paying off the debt on the church, and thanked God that he could say that the church was free from debt for he witnessed the burning of the papers which carried with it the claim on the building. Rev. J. A. Stradly was called on to pray, and this humble man of God petition was full of thanks for the means that God had placed in the hands of the congregation for the building of the church. Prof. . Darius Eatman presided at the organ with great skill, and the music was well rendered and appropriate. The offeratory by Col. F. P. Hobgood and the solo by Mrs. Hardaway were finely rendered and greatly enjoyed by the congrega tion. The sermon of Rev. G. W. Green was full of deep thought and he ably discussed Peace and Prosperity to uod s house; it was the house ot organized worship and for the benefit of its own members and where they would receive Spiritual blessings, where each member would grow in grace and in the knowledge ot Jesus Christ. At the close of the sermon Rev. R. I. Devin offered up a beautiful and pathetic dedication praver to the Throne of Grace. -Rev. Pace also assisted in the services. The dedication hymn.composed by Rev. J. S. Hardaway, as follows, was sung and this closed one or the happiest services ever held by the congregations. LONG MEASURE. Lord unto Thee this house we raise A place for song and prayer and praise, Thy people here with Thee shall meet And worship lowly at Thy feet. O deign to let Thy presence fill This house with glory. May Thy will Rule in each heart that worship here, And bless with holy love and fear. When sorrow's bitter pangs we feel, Here may Thy love our sadness heal; When stained with sin we bow in grief, Come with Thy cleansing for relief. Our highest pleasure may it be " In this Thy house to worship Thee, And may our tongues with living song Sound forth Thy praises loud and long ! O grant that here full many a soul May feel Thy power, and go forth whole, Born of the spirit, washed in blood That from the Lamb of Cavalry flowed ! Within these walls may God's own word Be ever faithfully declared; And from this house the gospel sound Forth into all the world around ! To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit three in one We offer now this house of prayer, And supplicate His love and care. EriFDr. B. K.

The editor deeply regrets to learn that the greatly beloved Mrs. Sarah Hall is sick at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Henry Perry, at Hen derson, where she went to spend Christmas. "We wish her a speedy recovery. Mrs. Isabella Smith, ths aged mother of Messrs. Maurice Smith, of Richmond, and Mr. R. T.

Oirens, of Oxford, conducting the seryices in the presence of sorrowing relatives and old neighbors. JgIf you want to buy some nice hay at 90 cents per hundred call on R. Broughton. j DURHAM RECORDER AUA1N. ii iaites ud ror ur. Klisro while we A. rw ' . - are for Mr. Oattls and the Jury. In the last issue of the Recorder before Christmas our venerable friend, Capt. Hunter, undertakes to twit us because at one time, a year or more sgo, we spoke lightly of Rev. Gattis in the suit of Gtttis vs Kilgo. We readily admit the charge that haying heard one side of the case fearing that, like many other libel suits, it was brouerht onlv to recover "blood money", we did speak in disparaging terms of Mr. Gattis for which we are now sorry. Itonly goes to show the truth of the saying that "there are always two sides to a question." We be lieve that, like our own, the senti ment of two-thirds of this commu nity at the beginning of the trial were like most of the preachers in favor of Dr. Kilgo, but after hear- g the evidence we saw how erro neous had been our first impression. We were right much aroused to learn before the Recorder was issued that our good Brother Hunter was going to "skin us alive," and were really afraid that we might be inca- pacited from enioying our fine Christ mas turkey. But upon careful ex amination or our cuticle we found it intact without any rents or tares in it, and do not know we ever spent a more enjoyable Christmas. In our former article we simply wanted to call attention to the in justice of denouncing a jury of hon est men who did their dutv noon the law and the evidence presented to them. Brother Hunter virtually admits the force of what we said, and tries to avoid it by saying we criticised Mr. Gattis. That wont do brother. We admit our error, founded upon insumeient information, wnne you try to break the force of the verdict by crying "prejudice, prejudice, when there was an absolute want of prejudice. We have no hard feeling towards our brother, nor any one connected with the case. In this early morn ing of the century that bids fair to be the most momentous in the his tory of the world, we are pleased to say that we are at peace with al men and wish no harm to .any one, butwecould not aftordto let pass un rebuked an injustice to a jury com posed of twelve of our best county men. We have much more we could say about the case and some of the post-bellum defenders of Dr. Kilgo but we realize that further discus sion can do no good at this time so we dismiss the subject. . Compliment to Two of Oxford's nigh Iy Educated Ladies, In the News and Observer's ac count of the proceedings of the meeting of the educators which met in Raleigh last week we find the following: "Miss Hilliard's paper on 'Litera ture in Secondary Schools Its ob ject and Methods of Teaching,' re ceived the closest of attention and has since elicited the highest com mendation and warmest praise. It was on all sides pronounced one of the ablest and best presentations of thought provoked by the meeting, Prof. Sheep offered a resolution. which was unanimously adopted thanking Miss Hiliiard for thus honoring the association and ex pressing the association's high esti mate ot the value or her utterances upon this important topic." Dr. George Winston, who attend ed the Southern Educational Asso ciation at Richmond last week says the gem of the whole meeting was the paper by Miss Nina Horner, of Oxford, on 'Womanly Education.' The sentiment of the paper was, that man's education fits him to be absolutely accurate and just. The curriculum through which he passes is arranged with this idea in view. Woman s education should be in keeping with her nature and pur poses by which she tempers justice with mercy, and softens man s ster ner attributes, though she strength ens and purifies his moral life. Wo men, she declared, is in danger of losing the qualities by taking a manly education. Blown to Atoms.
