DAY, Jeweler, Commercial Avenue, - Oxford, N, C. NOTES OF THE DAY. THE LOCAL HAPPENINGS SERVED IN SHORT PARAGRAPHS. The Minor Event About the City ao Gathered ly the Alert Reporters of The Day. Mayor L. G. Smith tried two minor cases last night and imposed fines. Six warehouses full of tobacco, two banks full of money, fifty buyers full of liberality and orders and hundreds of farmers full of satisfaction over the high prices paid them for the weed. Such is Oxford today. Dost like the picture ? Mayor Smith requests us to say to the merchants of Oxford fhat it is against the law to sell cigars, cigar ettes, tobacco or anything else, except medicine, on Sunday, and that he will from now on see to it that this law is strictly enforced. Grant Moss, a colored boy, saw a gun last nighr in J. F. Edwards' store that struck his fancy, and he quietly appropriated it and dipped away. He was caught a short while after the theft and provided with a sleeping apart ment in jail. This morning he was before Mayor Smith and sent on to the grand jury. The Irwin Place was closed yester day. Mrs. Cooper and Mrs. Mitchell will move next week to Asheville and open a boarding house in that noted health resort. We much regret to see the Irwin close, lor it was a number one little hotel, and was very popular with the traveling public. Mrs. L. M. King will take charge of this house for the next year. The Durham papers express regret that the Oxford amateurs were forced to cancel their engagement to play "A Celebrated Case" in that city last night. The Globe says that "as one of the leading men has a celebrated case of his own, so far as he is con cerned, the date is off." This refers to the marriage of B. S. Royster to Miss Mamie Hobgood, which will come off tomorrow morning. PURELY PERSONAL. The Doings and Whereabouts of Some People You Know. A. J. Feild is in Raleigh for a lew davs. 1 A. A.

A Rich Find. A rare and valuable mineral titan ium has just been discovered within a few miles of Oxford. An analysis has been completed, with the result of raising high expecta tions in the breast of the owner of the property. The quantity is sufficient to warrant the investment of large cap ital. The commercial value ot titanium, we are told, is $32 an ounce. This is many times more valuable than a gold mine. Excursion Trains. Excursion trains from - Keysville to Raleigh, to the State Fair, will be run today, tomorrow and Thursday. Will leave Oxford at 8.08, a. m., and return here at 7.54 p. rn. Round trip tickets from Oxford including admission to the fairgrounds, are $1.70, instead of $1.20 as errone ously published. This is the same tare as last year. RcOpened in Oxford. C. H. Lewellin announces in The Day that he has re-opened a mer chant tailoring establishment in Ox ford, upstairs next to A. Landis & Sons' store.
