It is too bad for as large a town as this to have to send all her laundry work to other towns. It is troublesome to send it away, and then it takes away money that ought to be in cir cufjgpn here. It would not take a large'amount of capital to establish a laundry; and the capital thus invested would no doubt pay a good dividend. Il would bring in some new citizens, and would increase the population, and the financial strength of the town. Such a laundry would be well sup ported by the town, boarding schools, and people from the country around. Oxford ought to have an "Overall Factory." Overalls are now in great una constant demand. Farmers, me chanics, factory hands and all other laboring men wear them. A factory to Make these garments would employ a considerable number of hands, and would increase the population and the inancial resources of the town. Thous ands of dollars would be in circulation here that now goes elsewhere. 11 Oxford drows numerieallv. and financially, it must be the result of fac- t ories. The tobacco market is good, but will probablynot be much better. The factories we have are a great help to the town, but we need more luore for covenience, and for prosper ity. Oxford is a good town for fac tories, Railroad facilities are excellent, Married men of Oxford, invest money in factories, and let it make you more money, and build up your town. Are 'here not other factories that might be established that would benefit stockholders and build up the town? Citizen, TM 'R. BENJ. K.
