Albert Clayton, near Berea, Friday night went over to visit a neighbor's, and while away some one broke the sash of a window with an axe and entered the house, and also broke open a bureau drawer and stole $295. The robbery was not discovered until next morning, when Sheriff Wheeler was notified, and accompanied by Squire J. C. Howard went up and investigated as soon as possible and were unable to find any clue as to the robbery. The loss falls heavily onj Mr. Ciayton, as he is a hard-working voung man just starting out into life. Tills Is proof that it is best to keep your money in some bank. G neral Koyster Entertains the Visiting Officers. After the Inspection of the Granville Grays on Monday March 4, General 13. S. Royster entertained the visiting officers and a few other military friends at a Stag Dinner. The reputation of the gallant General Royster as a de lightful host was fully sustained on this occasion. The scene which greeted the eyes of the guests when the doors of the spacious dining room were thrown open was inspiring and beautiful, for on all sides were the colors so dear to t he heart of every soldier of this great country, the red, white and blue, dis played inmost attractive manner. The large and handsome silk flag of Brigade Headquarters occupied a conspicuous place in the decorations, while smaller flags, shields, stars and striped gar lands were in evidence everywhere. The centerpiece on the dining table, which was elegant in all its appoint ments, was a mound covered in red, white and blue, having on its summit a stand of flags, while suspended above it was a large bell suggestive of the bistoric Independence Bell decked with flags. The dinner, consisting of most delicious and dainty viands, was temptingly seryed in five courses. Those enjoying the hospitality of General Royster were : Col. Thomas Stringfield, Inspector General; Major Raleigh T. Daniel, Brigade Paymaster; Captain A. J. Doughton, U. S. A.; Cap tain T. G. Stem, Lieutenants Henry T. Osborn, E. E. Fuller and E. L. Parham. Mr. R. S. Usry is himself again after two weeks sickness. Mr. Coley. one of the fine young men of Lyon, was on our streets Saturday. Work on Superintendent Lanier's residence on Factory Hill is still pro gressing. The fearful condition of College street demands the attention of the Street Commissioner. Did you say winter or spring, or did you say old winter was laying coldly in the tight lap of spring ? Mr. Sam Watkins, who had quite a tustle with Col. Gripp last week, is about out of his clutches. We ask you to note the change in the advertisement of Carolina. Power & Light Co. which is of interest to you. Well, George we had a beautiful and pure white spring Sunday accompan ied by the old-fashioned winter crook. The people of Oxford will be happy to learn that the town authorities are getting ready to crush rock to repair the bad streets. The Carolina Power & Light Co. has had some dfficulty in securing skilled brick layers to work on new office buil ding on Hillsboro street. Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Coble, who have come to Oxford to make their home, will occupy the cottage on King street next to Mr. J. D. Brooks' residence. It seems that about all the candi dates have "lined up" for the different county offices, and the "pump handle" will be worked from now on for all it is worth. We regret to learn that our young friend, John Buchanan,is suffering with an attack of rheumatism, and could not leave Monday for Durham to as sume his new duties. There was a good break of tobacco in Oxford Friday, and the weed con tinues to sell high, so bring on the bal ance of vour crop if you wish to reach the high dollar to Oxford. The banks of our good old county seems to be in flourishing condition, and the National Bank of Creedmoor is one of them as will be seen by its fine statement on another page. "The snow, the beautiful snow" sur prised many Sunday morning as they looked out and saw the ground covered with snow. It is predicted by the know ing ones that the March snow increases the hopefulness for a fine fruit year. May their predictions make good. By invitation of Dr. Horsfield ser vices in the Episcopal Church this Wednesday eyening will be especially interesting when Rev. J. J. Lanier.rec tor of Emanuel's church, Warrenton, will deliver the sermon. The public is cordially invited to attend the services. Mr. F. W. Hancock, Grand Regent of the Royal Arcanum of North Carolina, will leave to-day for Rocky Mount, where he goes to assist the Supreme Regent of the United States in the initiation of a class of thirty new mem bers, after which the Council of that place will serve an elegant supper. The Spring weather is on the way and you will want to repaint your res idence or paint the new one you are going to build, so we want to call your attention to half-page advertisement of the Acme Paint sold by Mr. C. D. Ray. It has stood the test and is now recognized as the best paint on the market. When you get ready to paint don't forget to call on Mr. Ray. We invite our many readers to es pecially read the combined statement published on the outside page showing the capital, deposits and resources of all the banks in Granville county which proves that the First National Bank of Oxford has 40 per cent of all the bank ing resources of the county. It is con servatively and'practically conducted, with polite and accommodating offi cials and book-keepers. WILL BE HERE WEDNESDAY. Why be bothered with inferior glasses when you can get first-class spectacles or eyeglasses correctly adjusted at a moderate price from Dr. RAPPORT, at Dr. Henderson's Dental Office, Wed nesday, March 13. Citizens Bank of Henderson. It is a well known fact that the Citi zens' Bank ol Henderson is one of the strong financial institutions of this sec tion of the State, as will be seen by the condensed report at the close of business on February 20th. Its re sources amount to $800,854.43, with $614,450 07 on deposit which is strong proof that this excellent bank stands high with the people. This fine bank is a great lever is the prosperity of Henderson as it fosters and encourages all worthy enterprises established in that progressive town. Read carefully the statement on the last page and ex tend it your business. Mr. J. B. Owen so highly esteemed in Oxford is Presi dent of this bank. Mrs. Land is Entertains. The home of Mr. and Mrs. William Landis was the scene of a very de lightful social function Saturday even ing, when the cordial hostess gave an elegant supper as commemorative of the eighth anniversary of their wed ding day. The attractive home was very appropriately adorned, and after a pleasant sociable hour guests were invited to the dining room where the elaborate supper of oysters, turkey, salid and choice menu of good things in variety were beautifully served. The invited guests were Mrs. Hargrove, Miss Nannie Gregory, Mrs. Howell,' Mrs. Lucy Powell, Mrs. A. L. Cape hart, Mrs. C. H. Easton, Mrs. Parker, Miss Augusta Landis, Miss Josephine Brown. Clipping Party Friday Evening The Philathea class of the Baptist Church gave an entertainment Friday evening in the Armory which proved a very attractive occasion. The clip ping of the little bags that contained prizes, which were suspended across the room, afforded excellent means of increasing the financial success of the entertainment. The aesthetic attrac tions were elegantly managed and the oyster supper was a success, The en tertainment increased the society's fund $17. The noble members of the Philathea organizations respond liber ally to charity work and are enthusi astic in the cause they work, and they make their entertainments pleasurable and profitable. God bless the women in their efforts, Burned to Death Near Watkins. It is with sadness we chronicle the untimely death of Mrs. J. W. Davis, one of our best Christian women. Saturday morning while she was sweeping the hearth the broom caught fire and she tried to put it out with her foot. Her clothing caught fire, which so excited her (no one being at home but a little girl seven years of age) she ran to a neighbor's house, some five hundred yards away, for help. The lady of the house seeing her ran to her aid with a blanket, but when she met her her clothing was all burned and her whole person so badly burned she died in nine hours. She had the aid of a physician and neigh bors, who did all in their power to re lieve her, but she was beyond human help. Mrs. Davis was the daughter of the late Dr. C. J. Hester, of Vance county, noted for his deep piety and great Sunday School work. His mantle fell upon her, and she, since his .death, has been a prominent church worker, fill ing with credit many positions in the church. At the time of her death she was reporter to her church paper. She married Mr. J. W. Davis, one of Vance county's best citizens, about fifteen years ago. Unto them was born two children, George, age 14 years, and Leah 7 years, both above the average for intellect and piety. George, not withstanding his youthfulness, was elected secretary of Rehoboth Sunday School last December. Her mantle falls upon him and he bids fair to fill with credit the work his grandfather and mother have laid down. She was laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery at Union Chapel by her pastor, Rev. N. G. Bethea, Monday afternoon to await the resurrection mom when soul and body will unite and live with God forever. We deeply sympathize with husband and children, and pray that they may continue to be faithful as she taught them. Her S. S. Teacher. EGGS FOR SALE. Silver laced Wyandotte Eggs for sale, $1 for setting of 15. R. Broughton Vance Guano Premiums. The store of Horner Bros. Co. Satur day was quite a popular place, as the premiums offered by the Vance Guano Company for the two best barns of tobacco made with their fertilizer one in South Granville and one in North Granville were to be awarded. After careful consideration it was found that Mr. R. H. O'Brien, of Route 5, Oxford, and Mr. M. L. Oakley, of Route 6, Ox ford, were the winners and were awarded the prizes. The pleasant Mr. Horner handed each one of the gentlemen $50 in new bills, both of whom said they were going to make their good ladies a present of them. Of course these excellent farmers aDd citizens were very proud of their suc cess with the Vance Guano, which produced such a fine type of tobacco, and wherever they go are singing its praises. If you have not tried this splendid brand of fertilizer you cannot do better than place your order for it at once with Horner Bros. Company. Will work for Oxford. President A. H. Powell, of the Gran ville Commercial Club, has named the following Standing Committees for the year 1912.
