Increase of Postal Receipts.
The increased postal receipts of
the Oxford post-office for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1912, is the
neat little sum of $923 88. The in
crease over the previous year indi
cates that Oxford is steadily gaining
m volume oi business, it is possible
for a town much smaller than Ovfnrd
to show larger postal receipts, and
there are several instances of the kind.
where advertising matter and mail or
der houses predominate, hut ns nn-
plied to Oxford it is a positive indica
tion that an increase of population
and business has brought about the
substantial increase. The total receipts
at the Oxford post-office for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1911, were $12.-
1U8 84; for the fiscal year ending June
30. 1912. were $13,081.72 a net gain
of 3)923 88. The substantial increase
can but please Mr. J. W. Brown, our
very able and efficient postmaster and
his courteous and nroficient clerks.
When we state that the Oxford post-
office is rated as a second class office
we speak advisedly; the volume of
business must be $50,000 and over an
nually to rid ourselves of the odium of
being "second-class" in anything. Di

Having procured the consent of Mr.

for Treasurer, if tendered to him by
the Democratic party, we take this
means of placing his name before the
voters of the county for this office. In
the performance of the duties of this
office in the past Mr. Lyon has shown
himself eminently fitted for the same,

St. Stephen's Episcopal Church
We love to stroll along College street
and catch a glimpse of St. Stephen's
Episcopal Church. The sacred edifice
at once wins the gaze and the heart;
and as one lingers upon the scene the
stillness, the semi-isolation, the creep
ers festooning the stone walls, the ad
mixture of nature and art, and the
green sward, lends the most undisput
ed charm to the hallowed spot, which
draws and weds the wayward unto
God. It is a priceless jewel, set in the
environments of a busy world; oh how
restful in the eventide when the moon
beams play hide and seek about its
sacred precincts ! But it is when we
turn from the historical and sentimen
tal to the personal that we realize the
vast power of the sacred song and
story within to awaken the heart and
kindle hope. The services at St. Steph
en's are 'always inpressive. The grace,
the culture.the refinement.the prompt
ness of the congregation and the modu
lation of response is in perfect keeping
with the services one would see in the
mother Church of England. The rec
tor. Dr. Horsfield, whose integrity of
utterance is a growth of God, in clear,
emphatic tones, graces the thoughts
which minister to the soul. The mod
ulated tone of a powerful organ in the
recesses of the church, the angelic
voices and sympathetic melody moves
the lips to tremble in prayer.
Union Services.
On account of the warm weather
and the number who leave town dur
ing the summer months it is deemed
advisable to consolidate the various
congregations of Oxford and hold even
ing services in either the Methodist,
Presbyterian or Baptist churches for
the months of July and August. The
union meeting applies only to the even
ing service. The arrangement went
into effect last Sunday evening, Rev.
J. B. Weatherspoon, of the Baptist
church, preaching the first sermon of
the series at the Methodist church.
Dr. Horsfield, of the Episcopal church,
will hold services at the Presbyterian
church Sunday evening next. The
members of the choirs, so far as they
can, unite for the series of meetings.
Clearance Sale at Cohn & Son.
On the fourth page of this paper is
to be found the advertisement of the

of every one who patronze them in

handsome stock of summer goods.
Their motto is: "The more you buy the
more you save." Their policy of con
ducting business meets with a hearty
response. They carry the latest and
newest styles obtainable, therefore
everything must be sold in the season
for which it is intended. They do not
belive in carrying stock over to the
next season. A chance is now offered
the purchaser whereby they can lay in
a supply of the things needed at a
price that effects a saving worth-while.
