Bartlett's Sacred Cantata.
The following report was intended
for last issue:
The glad and holy spirit of Easter
tide still prevaded the atmosphere and
filled the hearts of the large audience
that gathered in the auditorium of the
Baptist church on last Tuesday even
ing, the occasion of which was to hear
the rendition of Bartlett's sacred Can
tata, "From Death to Life."
This spirit was evidenced by the
quiet attention, and the sincerety of
appreciation and sympathy manifest
ed by the audience, from beginning to
end in the beautiful and impressive
theme of this sacred music.
The Chorus, which was made up of
selected voices from the various church
choirs of the town, was trained by Mrs.
John Booth, Chairman of the Music
Department of the Woman's Civic Club,
and, it is to her ability as a leader, her
tireless energy, and her tactful man
agement that is due, the success of the
performance.
In this she was ably supported by
the unselfish co-operation of the organ
ist, Miss Mary Webb, who sustained
the varied parts throughout the difficult
accompaniment with perfect ease and
skill.
The program was opened with the
Grand March Processional, by Batiste,
rendered bv Miss Webb, and to the in
spiring strains of this, the choir march
ed to position.out of the pastor's study
to the choir loft. After which the
Doxologv was supg by the whole con
gregation, all standing. Rev J. B
Weatherspoon. pastor of the church.
and host to the Civic Club on this oc
casion addressed a few remarks by way
of greeting. He commended the Club
for its worthy ambition, and made a
gracious plea on its behalf for a liberal
offering from the congregation, which
fund would be presented by the Music
Department to the Charity Department
of the Civic Club, this latter being the
same organization as "The Ministering
Circle of Kings Daughters.
After this introduction the muic of
the Cantata began. There were sev
eral very effective selections, rendered
by the favorite soloists of the town, all
of whom are near and dear to the
hearts of an Oxford audience, and in
addition to these, Miss Ormerod, voice
teacher at the Oxford College, added
greatly to the pleasure of everyone
present by the beatiful quality of her
voice. As her rich contralto tones
breathed forth the solemn words of the
tragedy of the Cross one could not fail
to be impressed and uplifted by the
spirit of the occasion.
Among the male voices who did
fine solo work, special mention is due
Rev. S. K, Phillips, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, who rendered
a difficult tenor solo. Although
having recently become a resident
of Oxford, Mr. Phillips has already
endeared himself to the hearts of the
people by that stronest of ell ties
the love of music. He has a thour
ough understanding, and appreciation
of music, and is an acquisition to any
musical gathering.
The offering which was taken during
the intermission between Part 1 and
Pan 2 amounted to thirty-two
dollars and fifty cents. At the close
of the Cantata, an invocate, in the
form of a benediction was pronounced
by the pastor of the church, which
completed the program for this occa
sion. Reporter for Civic Club.
New Telephone Directory.
Manager W. D. Rives, of the Home
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
has compiled an up-to-date directory
for Oxford. The names are arranged
alphabetically and it would seem that
the subscribers would readily comply
with the request of Manager Rives and
always call by number instead of by
name. If you think this is an idle re
quest on the part of the company
you would find out different if you was
an operator for a few hours. Manager
Rives is to be congratulated on his
excellent work here, which accounts
no doubt for his failure to find time to
join the matrimonial club.
Back to the Soil.
Oxford correspondent of the Char
lotte Observer says: The back-to-the
farm impulse has struck Oxford and a
large number of those even who are so
entagled with a profitable city business
that they cannot go out and become
regular farmers are moved to dabble
a little in it on the sly. This contagion
does not seem to be confined to any
class and is no respecter of persons or
professions. As an illustration of the
wide field operation of this country
life germ, R. W Lassiter, who owns a
farm just outside the corporate limits
of the town has rented land in varying
amounts to the following business and
professional men: Rev. Eugene Usry,
pastor of the West Oxford Baptist
church, D. T. L Booth, one of the most
successful physicians of the town, W.
G. Pace, buyer for the American To
bacco Co., W. W. Devin and Sam Hob
hood, of the office staff of the Imperial
Tobacco Co.. C. M. Critcher. retired cap-
italist, B Robinson, merchant and large
j brick manufacturer, and J. Robt. Wood,
a leading furniture and undertaker.

Delightful Entertainment.
The most interesting social news
that has occupied the thoughts of the
Oxford public for many moons is the
recent announcement of the approach
ing marriage of two of her most popu
lar young people that of Miss Lily B.
White to Mr. John A. Williams. After
the long and gloomy Lenten period the
festivities coming just at the glad
Easter-tide, in connection with this
happy event, are hailed with double
pleasure.
On Thursday afternoon April 11th
Mrs. J. S. Rodgers tendered a beauti
ful and elaborate entertaiment to the
bride-elect in the way of a miscellane
ous shower.
The hostess had arranged for a re
ceiving line, in which herself, assisted
by Miss White and a number of their
mutual friends, should meet formally
all the guests of the occasion before
the game should begin.
At the door of the reception hall to
greet the arrivals were Mrs. Marion C.
Taylor and Mrs. Candace Brown.
Passing on to the dining room the
guests were first received by the cor
dial and popular hostess, after which
they were presented to the fair young
bride-elect, who was radiant in a gown
of pale yellow satin, with crystal
fringe. Next in line were Mrs. E. R.
Mc Kethan, of Fayetteville, and Miss
Janette Biggs, sister of the bride-elect,
Mrs. R. P. Taylor, Mrs. E. H. Crenshaw,
Mrs. Dudley Bonitz, of Chicago, and
Miss Mary B. Williams, the last three
sisters of the groom-elect, Miss Aline
Cooper, of Fayetteville, Miss Annie
Crews, Miss Josephine Brown and
Mrs. E. W. Pace, of Wilson. At the
end of the line stood Misses Helen
White and Edna Tyer, who showed the
guests the punch room. Here, at the
beautifully appointed stand, decorated
with Easter lilies, were two handsome
cut-glass bowls filled with sparkling,
fragrant punch. Serving this delicious
beverage were Misses Myrtle Sham
burger, of Hertford, and May White.
From the punch room the guests pass
ed into the reception hall, where they
received from Miss Frances Abbitt a
white heart-shaped booklet, very sug
gestive of a wedding with the words
"ring," "heart" and "bell" daintly letter
ed in gold. This was found to contain
the cue for a contest game. Fifteen
minutes was allowed for the gathering
of the wits ,Xo solve the wisdom hid
den in the lines.
The contest proved most interesting
and excited much mirth and laughter.
It was so complicated however that
the hostess could arrive at no decision
as to who was eligble for the prize, and
so the beautiful picture provided for
that purpose wa3 presented to the
honor guest. Just at this time all eyes
were turned upon a vision of loveliness
in the form of two little girls, dressed
as faries, with wings and wearing white
from head to toe. drawing a cart that
was also covered in white, and which
was filled to overflowing with gifts for
the bride. The little fairy steeds, who
were the little Misses Sue Bryan and
Annnie Lou Williams, found their way
through the crowd to the "chair of
state," which was also covered in
white and on which sat the bride-elect
in readiness to receive her gifts. A
joyous hour was spent in the opening
of these, all of which were beautiful,
representing the love and thoughtful
ness uf her many friends.
The hostess, assisted by Mesdames
John Davis, W. D. Bryant and Abbitt,
now served delicious ice cream with
cake, mints and salted almons, all
of these being incased in delicate cups,
representing lilies.
In the refreshments, as in all the
elaborate decoration of this attractive
home, the color scheme of yellow and
white was carried out in every ap
pointmei t, to the minutest detail.
Easter hiies predominating every
where. Over all the soft lights of
numerous candles shed a becoming
glow, enhancing the loveliness of the
fair young girls and handsome dames
making a scene of beauty, long to be
remembered.
A Steady Glow.
Manager E. G. Couch, of the Carolina
Power and Light Company, switched on
the current from Buckhorn Sunday
evening last. It required only a few
minutes to go from the old to the new
system, and the reason that the town
was temporarily in darkness was from
the fact that the new current was
so much stronger than the old one
it was necessary to begin with a low
voltage and properly adjust it to the
present consumption. As soon as
properly adjusted there was a steady
glow, but Manager Couch states that
while it is comparatively easy to regu
late the power in the business centre
of the town it would necessarily re
quire a little time in which to note and
correct defects, if any, in the lights far
ther removed. The old plant is now
standing idle but it is a custom with
the company to keep their old plants
intact for some weeks. Asked as to
what disposition was made of old em
ployees when an old plant was put of
commission Manager Couch said that
naturally they could not retain their
services longer, but that some of them
found employment with the company
wherever it was practicable.

The revival services began in the
Methodist Church Sunday night, at
which time Rev. J. B. Weatherspoon
filled the pulpit. The church was filled
to the door, and steps were at once
taken to procure larger quarters where
all can be seated. Arrangements were
finally made to occupy the Johnson
Warehouse, near tne intersection of
College and Hillsboro streets, during
the progress of the meeting, and a
large number of chairs were secured.
Dr. Wilson, of Newport News, Va.,
reached Oxford and preached for the
first time here Monday night. The
church was filled at an early hour, and
Dr. Wilson was listened to with rapt
attention througnout his discourse. A
feature of the revival services is the
singing led by Rev. S. K. Phillips, con
ducted along lines employed in the
great Chapman-Alexander meetings
which swept the American cities and
Continental Europe three years ago.
There will be revival services in the
Methodist Church this (Tuesday)
evening at 4 o'clock, but the night
services will be held in the Johnson
Warehouse at 8 o'clock.
The ladies have been requested from
the pulpit to leave their hats at home
and Dr. Tyer jokingly remarked that
none would be excused of the infrac
tian unless they are as bald on their
pates as is ' Brother McFarland."
Death of Mrs. Routon.
Mrs. Moriah Louise Routon, one of
Oxfords oldest and highly esteemed
ladies fell upon sleep at her home lest

75 ytars of age, and had been sick for
a long time, and the end was not un
expected. She is survived by one
daughter, Miss Lela Routon, and one
brother, Mr. David Parks, of Hillsboro,
who were at the bedside when her
soul passed to its reward.
Arrangements were made for the
funeral to take place Saturday after
noon, but on account of a drenching
rain it was postponed until 10 o'clock
Sunday morning, at which time Dr.
Alexander P. Tyer, of the Methodist
Church, conducted the ceremonies, and

Hers was a very practical religion,

human limitations permitted, hers was

Williams-White.
One of the prettiest church marriages
ever so'emnizedin the town of Oxford
occurred on Tuesday morning, April
16th, at the Presbyterian church, when
Miss Lilly B. White and Mr. John Wil
liams were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony.
Never had the fair young bride ap
peared more beautiful than on this.her
wedding morn, when she plighted her
troth, surrounded by a happy-hearted
throng of loving friends, who had known
her from her youth up. Miss White,
who is a universal favorite of the town
possessed of a charming personality,
with many rare qualities of mind and
heart, is the grand-daughter of the late
Crawford J. Cooper, that grand old pa
triarch whose life was so closely iden
tified for a half century or more, in the
history of Oxford, in all that stood for
progress, both in a commercial and so
cial way.
Mr Williams is also deservedly pop
ular, he is a rising young business man
of the firm of Perkinson-Green Co. He
is the youngest son of the late Hon.
A. H. A. Williams who represented the
State in the House of Congress in 1891
1893. Having lived in Oxford all his
life he numbers his friends by the score.
The church had been beautifully
decorated with a profusion of cut
flowers the lily whose name the
bride bears predominating everywhere.
I he altar and aisles were covered in
white, and the soft light from numerous
glowing tapers in the darkened church
added beauty to the scene.
Before the ceremony, Miss Maude
Parham very sweetly sang "Bid Me To
Love," by Barnard.the accompaniment
being played by Miss Lucy Webb. Sev
eral instrumental selections were also
rendered by Miss Webb before the en
trance of the bridal party. At the ap
pointed hour to the inspiring strains
of Mendelssohn's Wedding March the
ushers, who were Messrs. Ben Lassi
ter, RoyOsborn.Elbert Crews and Leon
Hines entered first taking their places
around the altar, next in order were
the two little flower girls, little Misses
Daisy Cooper and Annie Lou Williams,
These were dressed in white and
carried baskets of white sweet peas.
Following them came Miss Jeanette
Elliott Biggs, sister of the bride, and
her only attendant, wearing a gown of
champaigne crepe de chine, with elab
orate trimmings of lace and black vel
vet with touches of old rose.jand wear
ing a pictnre hat. She carried an arm
ful ot America beauty roses. Next in
order came the little ring bearer, Mas
ter Edward McKethan. of Fayetteville,
who is a nephew ot the bride, carrying
the ring in the heart of a lily. Lastly
entered the bride with her father.Capt.
W. H. White. She wore a dark blue
coat suit, and carried a heavy shower
boquet of lillies of the valley, tied with
long streamers of white maline. She
was met at the altar by thegroom.who
was attended by his brother and best
man, Mr. A. H. A. Williams. Rev. S.
K. Phillips pronounced the vows which
made them man and wife.
The happy couple left at 11:55 via
S. A. L. for a tour of northern cities,
after which they will be at home in
Oxford.
