Paris Bros, and Kronheimer's Cloth ing House have very tastely decorated show windows. Meeting of the Oxford Literary So ciety at the residence of Dr. j. B. Williams tonight. The tobacco men would like to see a good stripping season between this and Christmas day. Farmers are leaving town today with wagons loaded heavily with merchan dise. The stores are evidently doing a rushing business. About this time the small boy is unusually restless, and thinks and talks of Christmas all day and dream of Christmas all night. The city commissioners ought to define the lines of the sidewalks, and require pavements in front of the .store to be of uniform width. There will be a number of public entertainments in Oxford text week and the week following. Our people are going to enjoy the holidays. The Horner School has just closed one of the most prosperous sessions in the history of that institution. The same can be said of the Oxford Fe male Seminary. Oxford's splendid schools are great drawing cards for our city. Many men ot family are induced to remove here on account of the superior educa tional advantage offered their children. One of the children at the Orphan Asylum, a girl thirteen years of age, named Bettie Griffin, fell down a flight of stairs at eight o'clock last evening, and broke her arm just above the elbow. One of the speakers at the Horner School entertainment last night pre dicted that a classmate would be en gineering the construction of an ele vated railroad in South Oxford at some future day. Miss Temne Williams will open a school on the Kindergarten plan the fir. - t Monday in Januarx. An advertis - ment rs in this issue Qt The Day. Miss Williams is a competent teacher, and we commend her to par ents. Numbers of the young ladies of the Oxford Female Seminary and cadets of the Horner .School left this morning to spend the holidays at their homes. Of course they were happy, released from school duties ana on tneir way t ste their folks. The Raleigh correspondent of the Norfolk Virsrinian writes : There are now white Orphan Asylums at Oxford, Ihomasville and Charlotte, and one for the colored race at Oxford. The legislature will be asked by the ne groes to make a special annual appro priation in aid ot the latter institution. School.
