Read the administrator's notice of G. W. Rovster on the 4th page. Nobody loves a quitter, and a strad dler is just about as contemptible. Somebody insists the children need fewer precepts and more good exam ple. Miss Jessie Perkinson, who has been quite sick, we are glad to learn is much improved. Mrs. L. F. Smith now has the pleas ure of taking her afternoon rides in a nice new surrey. We call attention to sale of land ad vertised in another column by A. A. Hicks, Trustee. You are asked to read the sale of land advertised by A. A. Hicks, Trus tee, on the 4th page. Every town has its knockers, but knockers can not keep a real progres sive town from going ahead. Mr. W. B. Bailou is getting material together for the erection of his hand some home on Gilliam street. Mr. Luther Roberts and his street force are busy macadamizing Goshen and Cherry streets in West Oxford. You can begin to think about getting ready to attend the celebration of St. John's Day at the Oxford Orphanage. We believe that the Democrats will out a winner and we are for any Democrat, that can win against the Re publicans. Our tobacco men are now putting in some quiet restful hours while the far mers are hustling to make another crop of tobocco. Mr. John Haskins is improving his residence on Hillsboro street occupied by Mrs. J. F. Currin by the addition of a new front porch. Master Edward Coble is carrying around several bruises on his body on account of being thrown from his bicy cle a few days ago. The poultry business requires study and constant attention, the same as any other business. First efforts are rarely ever successful. Mr W. J. Long has purchased a nice Cadillac Automobile from Mr. E II. Crenshaw and will have many joy rides with the automobile brigade. The question now arises: Have you heard whether some of our people have a "wheels enough in their heads' to put wagon factory to rolling in Oxford ? Mr. Nat M. Cannady informs us that the pond and surrounding land is free to all for the purpose ot fishing, hunting and for outings and picnics. Don't forget the fact that you have a right to your own religious and polit ical belief and bear in mind the other fellow has just as much right to his. The farmer who can tell just what it costs to produce and market a crop is not so very common but when you do find such a man you find one who is a success. Standing water on the streets or in your back yard breeds mosquitoes. Mosquitoes breed disease. Prevent the standing water and you will help to prevent disease. The Kitchin men are trying to per suade themselves that Judge Walter Clark will not carry a single county, but they will find that, he will not be the hindmost man in the race. Mr. E. G.

Mr. Horsfield will hold services m St.. Paul's church, Goshen, next Sun day afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. All are welcome. Mr. John Cawthron. one of the good looking men of Wilton, was in Oxford Monday and dropped in on the ugly man of the Public Ledger. Miss Lizzie Moore, of Durham, Miss Katie Lee Gooch, of Stem, and Mr. Mc Brver, of Asheville, were the guests of Miss Hettie Lyon the first of the week. Mr. C. E.

He is one of the county's nicest young men, and is on the carpet girls Mr. George Stroud, of Wilton section, an old veteran of 88 years of age, at tended the meeting of veterans in Ox ford Monday, and we had the pleasure of a visit from him. We take it that lie is the oldest veteran in the county. Mr. W. II. Daniel, of Creed moor, and one of the grand old heroes of the civil war, was in Oxford Monday and called on the "old man" and it was a genuine pleasure to us to see him again He has reached his 81st year in life's jour ney. Dr. and Mrs.Alfred Salls.of the Oaks, have their two daughters with them for the summer. Miss Grace J. Sails, having returned from Buena Vista.Va , where she has taught Expression and Dramatic Art at Southern Seminary, and Miss Helen II. Sails having com pleted her junior year at Randolph Macon Woman's College at Lynchburg, Va. The Ball Game at Henderson. Those who witnessed the base ball game at Henderson Saturday after noon between the Oxford and Hender son teams declare that the Henderson team is not the equal of the Oxford team, the score standing 10 to 5 in favor of the home team. The Oxford boys assumed their respective posi tions with a smile on their faces, indi cating that they regarded the outcome with little concern, and that they out generaled the Henderson team at every turn and scampered away with two to one in their favor is entirely in keep ing with our expectation. -Marriage at Exchange Hotel. On Sunday last about 12.30 o'clock the parlors of the Exchange Hotel was the scene of a happy marriage, the contracting parties being Mr. George Collins and Miss Jennie M. Spain, both of Mecklenburg county, Virginia. They were accompanied to Oxford by a num ber of friends. Rev. J B.Weatherspoon made them one in a short but impres sive ceremony in the presence of quite number of ladies and gentlemen of Oxford. Miss Marv Webb gracefully played the wedding march. Of course Mr. L. F. Smith was in his glory and delights to see others made happy and accordingly secured the services of the handsome young minister, Government Building. Mr. G. D. Eliworth. of the Architect Department of the United States Treasury, was in Oxford Monday af ternoon shaking hands with old friends. He had with him a profile of the new Government building for Oxford, which is of the colonial type and will have large granite columns in front. The building will present quite a hand some appearance, and will be con structed of granite and buff brick. Mr. Flkwnrtli informed us that it was the intention of the Department to com mence work on the building by Au gust 1. This is good news for our peo ple and will be received with pleasure. Died Suddenly in Richmond. We regret to announce the sudden death of Mrs. W. E. Morgan, who died last Saturday in a Richmond hospital of heart disease. She had been operated upon three weeks ago, and was fast recovering when suddenly summoned to enter the portals of the New Jerusalem, as she was a true christian and served her Master faith fully to the end of iife's journey. Her remains reached Henderson Sunday . -as T T and were met there by Messrs. up church &. Currin, undertakers, and brought to Oxford and removed to the home of her brother, Mr. W. A. McFarland. on Asylum street, until Monday when they were conveyed to her old home near Berea and consigned to the tomb amid the tears of loved ones and neighbors to await the resur rection morn. She leaves behind a devoted husband and six brothers to mourn her death W. A. McFarland, of Oxford; Rev. R. A. McFarland, of Suffolk, Va.; O. D. McFarland, of Meri deth, Fla ; H. G.

Puckett, a retired mem ber of the North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Church, died in Smith field on Saturday last. His last pas torate was at Sanford. He held a number of charges in the Eastern con ference and was a faithful, consecrated minister. The deceased was for a number of years attached to the Ox ford circuit and resided in Oxford, oc cupying a house on High street. Mrs. Puckett is a sister of Judge Pell, of Winston-Salem, and is prominently connected in the State. Three Stingy Men. It is said that three of the stingiest men in the state were in town some days ago. One of them will not drink as much water as he wants unless it be from another man's well. The second forbids any of his family from writing anything but a "small hand" as it is a wast of ink to make large letters. The third stops the clock at night in order to save wear and tear on the machinery. AH of them de cline to take their county paper on the ground that it is a terrible strain on their spectacles to read newspapers, even in the day time. Meeting of Democratic Execu tive Committee. The Democratic Executive Commit tee of the County is hereby called to meet in the Commissioners' room in the Court House, Monday, June 10th, at 12 o'clock m. The purpose of this meeting is to fix the time for holding the County Primaries and Convention to nominate candidates for the legisla ure and the County offices. Every member of the Committee is earnestly urged to be present and all candidates for these offices are invited to attend and participate in this meeting. D. G Brummitt, Chairman. The Difference. Running a newspaper i3 just like running a hotel, only different. When a man goes into a hotel and finds something on the table which does not suit him he does not raise hades with the landlord and tell him to stop his old hotel. Well, hardly. He sets that aside and wades into the dishes to suit him It is different with some newspaper readers. They find an article occasionally that does not suit them exactly and, without stop ping to think it pleases hundreds of other readers, make a grandstand play and tell the editor how a paper should be run and what should be put into it, but such people are be coming fewer every year. The Oxford Base Ball Club. Those of us who are interested in the great national game of base ball are to be congratulated on the fine team Oxford has. It is composed en tirely of local and college stars, and is a strong aggregation. On first base is "Jimmy" Leake, whose home is in Wadesboro, and who played first-base for the University of North Carolina this year; on second base Parker, of Raleigh, who played this position for Wake Forest College; at short stop is Claude West, an old Trinity College player. These with Waverley Harris on third made an infieid the equal of any college team in the country. Her man Winston, who is leading the hit ting, and Robinson, who hit so bard in Saturday's game, and Lee Gooch, Billy Mitchell, Bert Taylor, Charles Powell and Parham are too well known to the base ball public to need further men tion. Democracy Assailed. The Public Ledger being a Demo cratic newspaper it is nothing more than right that we should speak up when the party is assailed. The per petual bickering and the assault made on Senator Simmons' record is entirely out of place, uncalled for and unjust. The assertion that this paper receives money from Senator Simmons to urge his re-election to the United Senate is without foundation. No one m the party.however great or small, should not go so far astray as to engage in inenundo and assail the record of any man who has done as much for the Democratic party as has Senator Simmons. We heartly believe that many Democrats fail to let their minds go back to the days when the Democratic party in North Carolina was tottering and Senator Simmons came forth and placed his shoulder and his entire fortune against the trembling structure and saved it from utter ruin. That Senator Simmons' faithful service as chairman of the State Democratic Committee by virture of his fidelity to party should be enough to close the carping mouth of those who claim to be ultra-Democratic in principle. Let there be less playing to the grand stand and more true Democracy in fused into the Senatorial race. That Senator Simmons is the nominal head of the Democratic party both at Wash ington and of his State is sufficient to call forth praise, especially when it is known that he has been loyal to every trust imposed in him.

R LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY NEWSPAPER IN THIS SECTION OF STATE. aMT)sp VOLUME 20. NO. W Confederate Veterans Honored. Last Monday, Jefferson Davis' birth day, was observed in Oxford by the United Daughters of the Confederacy by bestowing crosses of honor upon a number of vetrans of the Civil War. At the sound of the Court House bell, at 11, a.m. some fifty or more sur vivors of the war found their way to the court room and quietly took their seats, those receiving the bronze passing to the jury box. The gathering did not represent more than one-third of the vetrans of Granville county, the remainder being detained at home on account physical ailments and other causes. The youngest veteran in the assembly was perhaps not much under seventy years old, while the oldest was hovering around eighty eight.which vividly reminds us that the old veterans are gradually but surely passing on to their reward. The meeting was called to order by Mayor D. G. Brummitt, Rev. F. T. H. Horsfield invoking the divine blessing. Mr. James P. Taylor, youngest son of Mr. R. P. Taylor, of Oxford, was in troduced. Mr. Taylor, though in his 'teens, drew a vivid picture of the hardship and sufferings encountered by the soldiers on the battle field. He delivered the soliloquy of the late John W. Daniel in such a manner as win much applause. Mr. Taylor is one of our coming young men and we wish him much success Mr. W. A. Devin. the orator of the day. delivered an address seldom sur passed in pathos.pleasing incident and historical data of the "days that tried men's souls. It was just such a speech as appeals to the senses of veterans accurate, full of deep thought and hu man interest, touching Chicamauga, with a brief review of the life and works of the President of the Confederacy and the unjust punishment meeted out to him, etc. Those receiving ciosses of honor were : J. J. Algood, J. R. Buchanan. James E. Currin, I P. Currin, William Hart. Joshua Overton, W. B. Royster, W. L. Roberts, Joseph Norwood, G. B. Stroud, C. F. Currin, E. R. Thomasson, W. F. Woody, A. D. Williams, D. G. Crews, W. H. White.T. H. Speed. Those who were not present at the time their names were called can get their medals by applying to Mrs.W. H. White, president Daughter of Confederacy. After the ceremonies the Daughters invited all veterans to partake of a sumptuous dinner which they had prepared and was greatly enjoyed by the old heroes. Boiler ExpIosion---Three Killed On Saturday morning last just be fore six o'clock seven miles southeast of Creed moor, Mr. D. O. Pomeroy, of Graham, and two colored men em idoyed at his saw mill were instantly killed by a boiler explosion. A third colored man was terribly mangled and has since died. Mr. Pomeroy was operating a saw mill at the place where the accident occurred and he and the hands were preparing to start for the day when the explosion occurred. The accident was caused by turning water into the hot boiler. The boiler was fired up and had 200 pounds of steam on when the water vas turned in. A terrible explosion followed, which was heard at" Creedmoor, seven miles distant. The boiler was torn all to pieces, the entire plant wrecked and everybody within a distance of a hundred yards was killed. Fortunately other hands who were at work at the mill were at break fast when the accident took place. Mr. Pomeroy was killed instantly, being badly mangled. One of the col ored men was blown almost to pieces, both legs being blown off and both arms badly mangled. The other col ored man. who was sitting on the boiler at the time of the explosion was blown several hundred yard, and instantly killed. The exulosion was so severe that a great hole was torn in the ground where the boiler stood, and there was nothing left of the boiler except scrap iron. A big crowd from Creedmoor went to the scene of the accident. Mr. J. V. Pomeroy, of Graham, reached the scene of the accident and conveyed the remains of his brother to Graham, his old home, for burial. Mr. J. V. Pomeroy, who was at one time manager and stockholder of the Oxford Electric and Water Works Co.. is a brother of the deceased. TAX NOTICE.
