A news item is put in a newspaper so it can be read by its thousands of readers. For that same reason, the merchant makes his announcements and offers in the newspapers. An ad vertisement is displayed business news. Webster's Weekly says : As pointed out by several of our contemporaries, Governor Kitchin is depending more on the record of some one else rather than his own. As a consequence he is los ing out the other man's record is too good when compared with his own. The installation of Rev. S. K. Phillips will be solemnized in the Presbyterian church Sunday morning June 2d, which will be a very interesting occasion. Rev.

Gattis finished up the docket of Granville Superior court last Friday. The docket was rather large at this term, but the solicitor has a way of expediting things and is a ter ror to evil doers throughout his dis trict. He is not only broad-minded, but broad-gauged, and serves the State well. There will be preaching at Oak Hill Jr-resbytenan Church on second Sunday by Rev. R. H. McCloud.

A Morning Party. A morning party in honor of Miss Mary Cooper and Mrs. John A. Wil liams, and the attractive home H. G. Cooper was the pleasant scene Friday morning of an entertainment in honor pf her daughter, Miss Mary, and Mrs. John A. Williams. An enjoyable game afforded entertainment for an hour, after which a luncheon in several courses concluded the happy occasion. Miss Mary Cooper has just completed a course in Art in New York and is re ceiving a warm welcome from friends at home. Big Day at Stovall. Large numbers gathered at Stovall on Saturday last and enjoyed to the full the excellent program. In the af ternoon Governor Kitchin delivered an address on education. His sneeeh was one of the best in the history of the State, strong, eloquent and force ful, and his hearers were practically spell-bound as the Governor scored point after point on the theme of ed ucation, a topic so close the hearts of the people. Mr. J. T. Poythress, of Oxford, won the first prize offered by "Ye Old Time" Fiddlers, the sound of his bow carrying one back to the long ago. An Enjoyable Entertainment. The hospitable home of Mrs. Ashton Chapman was a scene of brilliant en tertainment Friday afternoon when more than fifty members of Oxford's social society responded to invitations to take part in the entertainment at dominoes The hall and parlors were as beautiful as taste and adornment could make them in attractive color schemes made perfect in charming ar rangement of lovely flowers. The game was full of pleasure and interest, after which refreshments in several courses completed the very charming occasion made pleasant by the cordiality of the accomplished hostess. A Runaway. An unusual incident occurred on our streets last Friday evening which came near being fatal. Two horses attached to a light vehicle became frightened and dashed down Main street and turned east on Front street, gaining speed at every bound, and finally landed against the pailings in front of General Royster's residence. Two men accompanied the horses part of the way, one escaping over the wheel, but Mr. Andrew Kittrell accompanied the turnout all the way, and seeing the abutment ahead of him he braced him self the best he could and awaited the crash, which came, and he crawled from beneath the debris unscathed So far as Mr. Kittrell is concerned it is a good thing that all the streets in Ox ford have abrupt endings, else he would have gone either to Wake or Vance county. Made Good. Many of our readers have read of George Marcellus Bailey, the famous editor of the Houston Post, one of the greatest papers of Texas. It will sur prise most of them to know that this great Texas editor was an Oxford X)r phan Asylum boy and belonged to the singing class that used to travel over JNorth Carolina with Mr. John H. Mills T T . . ne is a native of Iredell county. inanty and Children. Musical Entertainment. the younger pupils of Mrs. John Booth s music class gave an entertain ment Friday evening in the auditorium of the Graded school, and on Monday evening the older pupils entertained. Both recitals were finely rendered and eacti scholar reflected much credit upon the thorough training under their very able teacher. In their beautiful white costumes the doll drill was ren dered very attractively and gave much pleasure to all. Back Lots. The Charlotte Observer notes that in the Queen City violets have taken the place of "filth, and garbage and trash" in many back yards. What a change is this and how agreeable it would be if it were to become the prac tice in Oxford! The trouble with us lies not so much in unkept back yards of dwelling lots as in unkept back lots of business houses. These unkept lots are not only unsanitary and unsightly, but they frequently constitute a per fect fire-trap. Live Progressive Oxford. A representative of the Durham Sun spent last week in Oxford. He was impressed with the live progressive spirit seen on every hand, in fact the little city is taking on new life and en joying great industrial activity Their Commercial Club has been doing some excellent work, and has increased its membership 100 per cent, since the nrst oi this year, and have secured several new enterprises, and this or ganization is mainly responsible for the new business life that is making the city hustle. A Number are Immersed. Rev. J. B. Weatherspoon, pastor of the BaptistChurch.is preaching to large congregations at every service, and often people are unable to gain ad mittance, although a thousand can be comfortably seated in the Church. The Church authorities realize that more room is needed under the very able ministry of their pastor, and are devis ing ways to meet the ever increasing demand. They recently built a hand some, baptistry to the left of the pul pit, in full view of congregation, and on Sunday night last there were thirty five immersions. Mr. Nat Faucett, was in town Mon day.

Brown, Superintendent of the OrphanAsylum, who was appointed by Governor Kitchin to represent this State at the Southern Sociological Con gress, left Monday for Nashville, Tenn., where the meeting is in session this week. The purpose of the congress is to study and improve the social, civic and economical conditions in the South. Hurt Playing Ball. In a game of baseball between the Warrenton High School and Horner team, played at Horner Park Saturday afternoon a pitched ball, in the early stages of the game, struck Lee Gooch, the idol of Oxford's athletic world, in the temple and felled him to his knees, but with a heroic effort he regained his feet and resumed the play, but only to go down and out. Two hundred or more witnessed the disqualification of the athlete; he was removed to se clusion and Dr. S. PI. Cannady was summoned, and after a careful exami nation he pronounced that the blow was serious but not necessa.ily fatal, and later in the evening he was removed to his home on Main street, where hundred of his friends ca'led on Sunday to inquire and sympathize. At the Opera House. The program to be presented at the opera house Thursday evening at 8.15 promises to be attractive one to music lovers. Misses Webb.Whittaker, White, Ormerod and Rev. S. K. Phillips wiil be the soloists for the evening, and nine of Oxford's best talent will present selections from the cantata "Esther." The cantata is beautiful and inspiring. It is a story of Esther pleading for her people, the Jews. The score presents fine opportunities for solo, duet, quar tette and chorus work. Every lover of music should patronize this concert. A Wrong Interpretation. A citizen who appreciates a good joke told a Weekly reporter a good one the other day. He said a country man and a town man were in front of the post office rubbering at one of the Car nival signs on the telephone post near Dr. McGehee's office. The sign read: "Carniyal all next week," but the coun try man, whose eyes are rather weak, read it: "Granville all next week," and asked the town man what it meant. ' I don't know," replied the town broth er, "unless it means Kitchin wiill speak in Granville all next week." Reids ville Weekly. Grand Lodge Meets.

It is one of the strange things of this life that Oxford is not the largest city n XT a. 1 n in rorin Carolina to-day. For years and years our little town has stood second in point of health in the United States. This is one of the most valu able assets, and we are found wanting in the ancient adage that "God helps those who helps themselves." There was a time in the long ago when one of the large institutions ot the State was looking for a healthy location, and there was no one here who would herald to the world our nationwide reputation of being the second health-thies-t section in this broad land; there was in the long ago those who tried to divert the natural course of a trunk line through Oxford for fear their slum bers would be disturbed, and there was a time when the hearts of timid men trembled at the thought of bringing to this community a lot of orphan children, believing it a scheme to make little Athens" the dumping ground of North Carolina. The only thing that was needed at that particular period in the history of the dear old town was a few first class funerals. Things have luckily changed for the better, and now we have a live commercial organiza tion domiciled on College street ready to refute any false assertions nr ten dencies. The choking off nf fa impressions means much towards our future development, but the live and energetic fibre in our Commercial or ganization stands as a pillow of light on a hill. They have day dreams and visions by night, backed by a knowl edge that Oxford is the most healthful point save one in the whole domain, and in their visions they can see broad avenues lined with villas, the hills and the valleys dotted with manufacturing plants, and above the din and-Toar of trie city is reflected the mvriads nf lights which is seen in every direction for miles and miles, denoting that there is something within our borders that is worth while. The commercial organi zation knows that our magnitude de pends upon the live wires the con structive men to keen at work and not slacken in their enternrise: thev know that Oxford is bound to grow if our men make the most of the advan tages and possibilities which each and every community possesses in different particulars. There was a time in the history of Greensboro when her citi zens were thoroughly aroused because they did not have the banking facilities to land and hold a large corporation seeking a location. There was only $50,000 in the old Wilson & Shober bank and about $40,000 in the other defunct bank, which constituted the bulk of Guilford's available wealth Our hearts swell with pride when we look at our banks and our bond holders and know that they can count out here in Oxford and Granville county $2,000,000. A town is what its people make it; its reputation is the reputation of its business men, and when a town enjoys the reputation of being a wide-awake and progressive place it simply is another way ot say ing that its citizens are enterprising and progressive. Oxford gets its repu tation from what her citizens have done for it and will continue to do. A thousand or more men at a salary of from $2 to $5 a day would make things move along at a rapid rate.
