Oxford bears the reputation of domg well everything she undertakes save one thing the streets. I he commencements will be over next week, and teachers, scholars and milliners will take a rest. Mr. Wyatt Cannady has made some improvements to the interior of his res idence on College street. Don't forget that the tax-books are still open List your taxes immediately and save yourself trouble. We learn that Mr. Milton Hobgood is making a number ot improvements at his home near Enon Church.

The oast winter has taught Gran ville county a hard lesson on the value of good roads, and want more of them Mr, Sam Parker believes in comfort aa he has made some decided improve ments to the interior of his nice home on Front street. Whether you screen him out, or swat him out, or catch him with fly paper or in a trap doesn't matter, but you must get rid of that fly. A fine young man has arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lonnie Perkin son on Rectory street and has become the center of attraction. Oxford just now is one cf the most attractive towns in the State with her I beautiful shade trees and lawns.along with handsome residences. There will be a picnic at Kinton Fork May 27th, to which the public is invited to come and bring well-filled baskets. Wonder where the policemen were Monday night when a drunken man was cursing and swearing so vehe hemently on the Carnival Grounds? The remains of Mrs, Mary Russell who died in Durham Sunday reached Oxford Monday morning accompanied by several members of her family, and were taken out to Berea, her old home. for burial by Messrs.

Among those playing at tbe com mencement concert of the Southern Conservatory of Music in Durham last Friday we note the name of one Ox ford boy, Basil Horsfleld, in a violin duet, "Standchen," by Johannes Pache, and we feel sure he acquitted himself with much credit. The Officers Encampment of the Na tional Guard held in Raleigh last week was under the command of Gen B. S. Royster. The officers from Oxfsrd were : Capt. T. G. Stem, Lieut. Henry Osborn and Lieut. E. E. Fuller. We take it these excellent gentlemen en joyed their stay in the City of Oaks. Those who have recently purchased automobiles in Oxford are certainly having many joy rides. They are : Prof. J. C. Horner and Messrs. (3. W. Bryan, W. Z. Mitchell, R. W. Harris and L. B. Turner. It is said others have caught a bad case of automobile lever, and will probably soon be numbered with the honk, honk brigade. Leg and Foot Mangled. While driving down Lynch Hill on Monday last two horses attached to a wagon became frightened, and while dashing along at a rapid rate Mi. Filrnore Ad cock, who was driying the team, got his leg fastened in some way in one of the wheels which re sulted in a lacerated leg and a mangled foot.

Last year the doors of Oxford were closed against carnivals, but this year they are wide open as we have one with us this week. Our good bachelor friend, Hal Hole- man, is not hard-hearted because he is in the hardware business girls. He knows it is leap year and has a tender corner in his heart for the girls. The Granville Grays Rifle Team that recently went down to the Capital City was constrained by the good shoot ing of the Raleigh Company to leave behind both trophies, as it gathered in both the team and individual prizes. Rev, John Hall, the able and popular Presiding Elder of this District, occu pied the pulpit of Methodist Church Sunday and delivered very excellent sermons. While in Oxford he was the guest of Mr. Zack W. Lyon on College street. The- Smithem States spent about $78,000,000 on their public schools last year. That is an increase of 500 per cent since 1880. What is more impor tant is the fact that they are getting results commensurate with the money they are spending - One of the most attractive places in town now is the beautiful new furni ture store of Mr. J. Robt. Wood on Main street.

Funeral Services. The Funeral services of Mr. J. Otho Faucette, who died in Denver, Color ado, ten days ago. was held Sunday afternoon from the home of his sister, Mrs J H. Bullock, near Hester. The burial was under the direction and control of the Junior Order, Granville Council No. 117, of which he was a loyal member, assisted by the Wilton Council. The funeral was conducted by Rev. J. D. Huffham, D. D., reading as his theme the immortality of death from II Cor. 15 He was assisted by the Rev. M. L. Winston, after which the body was taken in charge by the Jr. O. U. M. Council, Mr. D. G Brum- mitt conducting the solemn rights ot the order. The honorary pall bearers were: Messrs. C. N. Floyd, R. S Finch, H. C. Floyd, T. S. Waller, C. H. Breediove, Joe F. Usry. A. F. Breediove, and J. T. Sizemore, Jr. The active pail-bearers: Messrs. Sam H. Usry, W. H. Preddy, A. D. Pitts, W. P. White, Jr., J. L. Suit and R. E. Strother, followed by a line of ninety members of Granville Coun cil No. 117 and Wilton Council Nm 287. Interment at the Paul Cannady place. There were many floral designs, the most beautiful being from the Junior Order and the Edwards Hose and Lad der Company. The deceased was a consistant mem ber of the Baptist Church and by his uniform gentlemanly bearing won a host of friends, who mourn his depar ture. The funeral was largely at tended, the procession being nearly a mile in length. Don't Put Your Feet on Seats. W7ehave often heard people grumble about dirty seats on the trains and for get the fact that they are the cause of it. Many of them will walk into a car with muddy feet and almost as soon as they take their seats, if it so happens that two seats are turned together, they plant their feet on the nice plush seat in front of them. It is a well set tled fact that mud will ruin the fine upholstering of a nice passenger car. The local trains suffer more on this ac count than the through trains and we must say that the traveling public has a great deal to do with keeping the cars in a cleanly and attractive condition. Literary Ciub Meets. The Woman's Literary Club held the last meeting of the season with Mrs. E. T. White Tuesday afternoon at her handsome home on Main street. Upon the assembling of the members delightful refreshments of ice cream, cake and mints were served. The program was then taken up. There were three papers for the after noon. "The Stage of Today is not Nec essarily Opposed to Morality" prepared by Mrs. A. H. Powell and read by Mrs. R. L. Brown. "The Relation of Classic Mythology to Modern Literature" by Mrs. T. N. Burwell and "Contrast Child life as found in Dickens with Twentieth Century Type in Fiction" by Mrs. C. D. Ray. It is said that 4 Blessings brighten as iney taue tneir nignt ana as seen m review of the years work of the Club, seems especially pleasant and profit able. Distance Lends Enchantment. Mr. O. D. McFarland, who left Gran ville county about twenty-two years ago, returned to his haunts last week and in making his rounds he called on the Public Ledger. He is a brother of our townsman, Mr. W. A. McFarland Mr. McFarland is a very suceessfu I lumberman, and lives in Meredith, Fla He talks interestingly about the many improvements that greet him on his return to Granville county and in Ox ford. The farms, he says, look much better than in former years many o them having Deen divided ana new and modern homes built upon them In speaking of Oxford he says there is a vast improvement on every hand; modern homes, up-to-date stores and that old Court square has under-gone a change, but withall it is a very fa miliar and cheerful spot to him. Mr. McFarland is a strikingly handsome man, and we admire the healthy glow on his face placed there by the Florida summer sun. Mr. Ernest Allen was Saturday. in Henderson Mr. R. L.

Two commencement in Oxford during the week makes things lively. Mr. John Buchanan came over from Durham Saturday afternoon and spent Sunday with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Luther Buchanan, on Raleigh street. A Fine Store. Walking along Main street one's at tention cannot fail to be drawn to the attractive display in the broad windows of the new store of Mr. J. Rob't Wood, the furniture dealer and funeral director. Last Saturday, the opening day, great throngs of people passed in and out cf the building, and as they emerged from the store the word "wonderful" was a form of expressing their delight for having feasted their eves on such magnificence. And why should they not ! There is only one in the State of the kind, taking it as a whole, that surpasses it in greatness, and that one is in Winstoa-Salem. On entering the store one's vision rests on great pyramids of rugs and matting; on every hand are chairs, tables, car pets, suits of furniture, dressers, bed springs and everything that goes to make the home comfortable The goods are all right.and Mr. Wilson, the floor manager, has done much to en hance their beauty on a scheme all his own by so arranging them that m i soection is made easy as well as ar tistic, and to illustrate this he stepped up to a great rack twelve feet tall, and pulling a cord a great array of rugs of many colors and designs passed in re view. Wherever the eye rests there is beauty, and the broad balconies groan beneath a load of rustics, comer-pieces, hall-racks and novelties. On reaching the second floor, which is one vast storage room, excepting three rooms which are set apart for the undertak ing business, and it was here that we were reminded that "ail that is born must die," but Mr. Wood has made that as pleasant as possible. The morgue is beautiful, containing great cases of chemicals and fluids used by the embalmers, and on every side we noticed caskets of great cost, and some not so costly, and as we de parted from the scene it occurred to us that the building contained every thing needed from the cradle to the grave. Oxford College Commencement The sun dawned brightly on Satur day last, the initial day of the com mencement exercises at Oxford Col lege. Quite a number from far and near were in attendance and all speak in glowing terms of the various events on the program. The baccalauerate sermon Sunday morning by Rev. J. Clyde Turner, pastor ot the First Bap tist Church, Greensboro, drew a large congregation to the Baptist Church, where he talked most interestingly on the subject entitled "For me to live is Christ." The address of Dr. J. Ernest Thacker, of Norfolk, Va., before the Young Wo mans Christian Association on the "Pre-eminent Christ" was very in structive. Both of the eminent divines taking parts in the entertainment resiaea m Oxford at one time, Dr. Thacker filling the pulpit of the Presbyterian Church, and they received many hearty hand shakes and cordial greetings from old friends in Oxford. The graduating music recital Satur day evening by Miss Cora Ferebee was very artistic. The program for Monday clats day follows: Salutatory, Miss Connie May Horn. History, Miss Elizabeth Hancock.

A fairly good subscription has been raised, several players engaged, and the season will be opened with a game here this week. After June 1st. a regular schedule is being prepared, so as to provide four games a week, two here and two away. As Henderson has a new ball park, and a first class team this season some good games between these ancient ri vals in this sport may be expected. Our former townsman, Gaither Knott, is the manager ot the Henderson team. Twelve games have been arranged to be played between these towns. The Oxford boys will have with them as catcher, Prof. Witherington, who caught for U. N. C. last year, and Lee Meadows, our brilliant young pitcher, will divide the twirling honors with Perkinson who was with Horner this year Herman Winston, the heavy hitting catcher and shortstop, will also be here, and possibly Harkins who has made such a fine record in all branches of Athletics at Horner School. Then there will be Lee Gooch at second base, and Waverly Harris at third who have been playing first class ball with Hor ner this season. These together with Billy Mitchell, who will be at his old place at first, and Chas. Powell, Bert Taylor, Grady Harris, Ira Smith, Jim Judge Winston's Address. Friday evening in the auditorium of the Graded School huildinfi tho fi rial exercises for the term were had with the delivery of the literary address bv ex-Judge Robert W. Winston, of Ral eigh. Judge Winston was cordially greeted in this place where he began the practice of his profession and laid the foundation for that success which has since come to him. Our people remember the brilliance of his early career here, how he went from th practice here to the bench while yet less than 30 vears of age. remember his splendid record he made as Judge. and are always glad to welcome him back and always hear him gladly. tie was presented to his audience by Col. W. B. Ballou, well called "the speaking member of the Board of Trus tees." Col. Ballou's presentation was a gem in itself, worthy of himself and in every way worthy of the distinguish ed gentlemen whom he introduced. Judge Winston began with a refer ence to the ideals of old Oxford and of Horner school, alluding to its accu racy and thoroughness; illustrating in many ways with reference to the teachings in that school, the moral, in tellectual and physical life of the men and women who in the old days made Oxford "The Athens of North Carolina." And here the speaker said that Ox ford people little reaiized that North Carolina did look upon this town as such; that the atmosphere was such as made it worthy of such an appelation. In his remarks the Judge told of the qualities that have made the world's great, loved men. He spoke of the self-sacrifices and love of the people that made Jefferson and Aycock, the great men they were; of how Jefferson, born to wealth and high social position spent his all in the service of mankind and suffered himself to be practically ostracised by the aristocracy of Vir ginia by his espousal of the cause of the plain people; of how Aycock spent himself for the education of all the people, leaving the Governor's office with an $8,000 debt hanging over him incurred while he was traveling over the State and preaching the gos pel of public education. With these and other illustrations he roused his hearers to thoughts of the nobility of self-sacrifice and service of others, urging voung men in ail walks of life to adopt these as ideals for future guid ance. The speech with its many classical references, its delightful review of old Oxford history and tradition, its splen did delivery and its choice language cannot be here reproduced. But it was forceful and yet entertaining and delightful throughout. The address was thoroughly enjoyed and Oxford people will gladly hear Judge Winston again. Exchange Hotel Stable Burned. The fire alarm was sounded Monday afternoon and the Edwards' Hose and Ladder Company responded with their usual alacrity. The scene of the fire was the stable in the rear of the Ex change Hotel and was owned by Mr. L. F. Smith, proprietor of the hotel. When the alarm was sounded the muscles of the two big noble gray horses momentarily tingled, and when Pete Wood gave the word they dashed out Hillsboro street with as much vigor and precision as any driver and horses ever went forth to do battle amid raging flame! But, alas, man is doomed to disappointment it even showed itself upon the faces of the horses. Arriving on the scene the old fire-fighters saw that they were up agains a tough proposition there in front of them stood a two-story wooden structure, as dry as tinder and full of hay, the flames shooting about it. To be sure this is enough to dishearten the stoutest heart.but when the water was turned on thev found that for some cause or other they did not have the pressure that is by right guaranteed them, but like true heroes they instantly resolved upon a line of work, with the result that they not only saved the hotel and other near by buildings, but the frame of the old stable is standing there, a monument to their skill. After the fire was put out it was learned that a hydrant was out of order, which accounts for the low pressure.
