The meanest men in the world are

The keeper of the gate no longer

A man in town ate peaches and ice
cream and cantaloupe just before re
tiring. And about 2'clock in the morn

yards of lead pipe. The next night he
ate a Welsh rarebit, and the same an

In keeping with the orange blossoms
which the bride wears in her hair or
uses for decorations the guests at wed
ding feasts may now be served with
the real blossoms, preserved with all
their delicacy of flavor. Could any
food be more appropriate for the occa

rose petals with dew-drops, and other
tidbits of like dainty character.
Success is neves obtained in a
country like this without effort. If
you fail once, try again. If you fall
down, get up. If it is dark strike a
light. If you are in the shade move
around; if there is shade on one side
ther is sure to be sunshine on the
other. It takes longer to skin an
elephant than a mouse, but then the
skin is worth something. Never be
content with doing what another has
done excel! him.

and Tuesday nights. The school takes
rank with the best in the State. Prof

A Slab in a Shady Nook.
The class of 1912 at Oxford College
will go down in historv not only for its
attainments and high ideals, but thev
placed a neat marble seat in a shady
nook on the lawn to perpetuate their
achievements and as an inspiration
to those who will follow in their wake.
The seat is a rustic design chiseled
out of solid marble, and is large enough
to comfortably seat four girls, or one
girl and one boy as the case may be.
Better Accommodations.
The Civic League, through the efforts
of Mrs. T. L Booth, scores a victory,
by which the citizens of Oxford and
the traveling public is benefitted no
little. Through the instrumentality
of the Civic 'League General Superin
tendent Hix, of the Seaboard Railway,
has ordered that a nice passenger car
be placed on the run between Oxford
and Henderson at an early date. This
is as it should be, and the general pub
lic will hail with pleasure the good news
that General Superintendent Hix as
sured Mrs. Booth that the waiting
room of the Seaboard station in Ox
ford would under-go a thorough reno
vation and be re-painted. The Public
Ledger a few days ago called attention
to the fact that a light is much needed
in the vicinity of the Seaboard station,
and we regret that this important
item does not appear in the scheme to
benefit this community, but neverthe
less Mrs. Booth is to be congratulated
on what she has already acquired.

Notes on the Commencement.
The space in our last issue was so
much taken up with items of a local
nature we could not devote our time
to the many excellent things taking
place at Oxford College, and having a
spare moment at our disposal at this
time we desire to touch upon some
of the many pleasant things.
The first exercise of commencement
was a graduating recital by Miss Cora
Ferebee, of Camden county. Her ren
dition of the program showed the most
painstaking care on the part of teacher,
and industry on her part. The pro
gram of classic music was given with
out a note before her, the longest num
ber requiring about twenty minutes.
Her execution was brilliant and she
obtained great applause. Many ot her
relatiyes were here to honor the oc
casion. She was beautifully assisted
by Miss Ormerod, the teacher of voice,
who lent her rich contralto to the oc
casion. Unusual interest attached to the
sermons of the two ministers taking
parts in the commencement from the
fact that both of them were former
residents of Oxford, and both of them
obtained their wives here. Mr. Turner
was connected with the Orphan Asy
lum, and while there won the love of
Miss Bertha Hicks, the daughter of the
lamented Col. W. J. Hicks. Dr. Thacker
was pastor of the Presbyterian Church
of Oxford in the beginning of his min
istry, and while here courted and
married Miss Addie Dixon, of Cleve
land county, one of the teachers of Ox
ford College. Large audiences as
sembled to hear these sermons.
It may be truly said that the art ex
hibit this year vas the equal of that
of any heretofore given by the College.
The work of the two graduates was
exhibited in the parlors, the work con
sisting of paintings in oil. pastels, cast
drawings, water colors, still Hie studies
in pencils, charcoal and ink, and the
prang studies. The work elicited much
praise.
The annual concert took place at
5 o'clock in the afternoon in the Col
lege chapel and was attended at this
quiet hour only by lovers of music. One
marked characteristic of the perform
ances was the perfect execution and
expression with which the numbers
were given. There were some very
sweet promising voices in the class
and the selections that they gave were
of a pleasing character, showing that
they had been trained in the most
scientific manner. The piano music
was rendered by an unusually large
number ot advanced pupils. These
solos always give an opportunity for
intelligent criticism. There were also
some beautiful quartettes on the pro
gram. In his annual report President Hob
good said that the condition of the
school is the most satisfactory of any
year in its history. He announced an
irnportaut change in the course of
study; that hereinafter ten standard
units ot preparation will be necessary
for entrance to the freshman class
one year shorter than that of Wake
Forest College. He stated that most
of the faculty would return; that Miss
Mary Taylor, of Wake Forest, who has
spent the last year in the study of art
in Rome, Italy, would resume her work
in the ait department next fall. He
stated that the teacher of voice and
expression next year would be Mrs.
Woodali, a trained vocalist in the best
schools of New York and Chicago, and
a graduate of tiie New York school of
expression, with a year's study in the
Curry school of oratory, Boston. The
teacher of English and history comes
to the College from Smith College,
Massachusetts, and is a lady of high
attainments.

A Sample House.
When the Carolina Power and Light
Company was constructing their utility
office on Hillsboro street it was not
uncommon to see them tare down a
corner or re-arrange some portion of
the structure, which to all appearances
seemed to be the very best workman
ship, and it was, but the company had
in their -mind's eye a sample structure,
which they proposed to adopt and dup
licate throughout the territory. The
building is erected along well-defined
lines, and all other utility budding of
the company may be larger or smaller,
! but in design and finish vill bear a
close "family resemblance" to our neat
and substantial building. The build
ing now stands completed in all its de
tail?, and Superintendent E. G Couch
has transferred his books, records and
office, force to his new headquarters on
Hilislioro street.
