SHALL OXFORD HAVE -A SYSTEM OF WATER WORKS That la the Qnestlon to t Discussed by onr Cltlsens In Mass-Meeting at the Courthouse Tonight. Notice was given in these columns a day or two ago that a meeting of the citizens of Oxford will be held at the courthouse tonight. It is a question of major and imme diate interest that will come up for discussion. Shall Oxford have a system of wa terworks ? That we need it need it badly and urgently everyone will admit. It is not necessary to enter into elaborate argument in its behalf. It stands out boldly enough. Its absence is suffi ciently conspicuous. Oxford is on a high road to unex amplcd prosicrity, and this lift is wanted and wanted now to assure our future. Without the assistance water works will give us, the most prodigious efforts towards city-building is love's labor lost. We are face to face with a momen tous question ! Upon the choice we make much de pends ! We hope to see a large turnout of citizens tonight, a fair and full discus sion, and decisive steps taken to se cure this great improvement for our city.

A number of young gentlemen of the city will give an ice cream party to their voting lady friends tonihL The affiair will take place at the 'residence of Mr. R. T. Smith. Mesrs. S- S. HaithDQck & Co. have something timely and interesting to say today in our advertising columns about cooling summer prinks, to which we call the special attention of our readers. From the Orphans Friend we learn: 'During the coming' week the E. U S. intends to' give- a Strawberry 1 in the beautiful crove sur- he Asvlum. The charm of occasion will be much enhanced by the twinkling light of many lanterns and the 'grace and beauty of the numerous attendants. ':Those who are capable of enjoying sweets served by the sweetest surely will not fail to attend. EXCELSIOR LITERARY SOCIETY. 3- The Entertainment Lst Night was a Fine Success In EverXiWF- A crowded house greeted the Excel sior Literary Society at the Orphan Asylum chapel last '' night, and the talented performers scored another triumph, even greater than won at their . initial appearance before the public some weeks agct ?The literary numoers 01 tne programme were &picu- did selections well tendered, and the musical features charmed the hearers and evoked rapturous applause. Miss Julia Gabriel whose sweet singing our people are ri;ver tired of praising, led the choruses, sang a solo and was in a duet, besides delivering a fine recitation, acquitting herself in every instance most admirably. Miss Blanche Fowler was also prominent as a vocalist, and possesses n alto voice rich, powerful and remarkably sweet in tone. A duet by Misses Dixon and Rav was prettily and sweetly done, as was the chorus,! "Auld Lang Syne," by Misses Dixon, Horton, .Williams, Wrenn, Hall, Ifays and Os- borne,Masters Ben and Wright Dixon, dressed in continental costumes. Miss Finlator and Masters Tones and Mc Clamb contributed to jhe musical success of the performance. The event of the evening was the recitation, "The Minuet, by Miss Rolin Stubbs, the accomplished, ver satile and charming editor of the Or phans Friend. She was appropriate ly dressed, and while speaking her lines went through the steps of the stately minuet tojthe accompnaraeht of slow music. Her voice was like the music of silver bells and her move ments the personification of grace. Miss Finlator and Master Ben Dixon, in the 'Little Hatchet Story," were very amusing, and the risibles of the audience were tickled immoderately by the inimitable humor of Miss Em ma Nowel and Miss Chloe M. Saun ders. Miss Mary Walker recited "The Organ Builder" With fine effect and elocutionary excellence, and was the recipient of a magnificent floral piece. Miss Mary Nelson and Miss Bessie Jones, in their respective recitations, were highly entertaining. The com edy, ''Mabel's Manoeuvre" as presen ted by Misses Swett, Saunders, Wil liams and Mr, L. Jones,, was very good. We are pleased to learn that a nice amount of money was realized to go toward the purchase of a library, for (the Society. !t The Oxford Female Seminary Passes Into New Hands'.
