Meteor Falls to Earth.
A meteor of large proportions came
shooting out of the heavens Wednes
day night about 10 30 oclock that
caused mere man to tremble. When
it was high in the heavens it seemed
to be pointing to the geographical cen
tre of Oxford, but when it got close
enought to be heard it was quite a re
lief to discover that it would pass over
Oxford to the north east, and that it
now lies embeded in the earth some
where near Cheatham mill we have
no doubt. The terrestial visitor and its
halo was as large as a tobacco hogs
head, shedding its tiny golden sparks
as it flitted through the air.
Mr. and Mrs. J. L Haskins, of Stem,

Things Begin to Shape Them
selves for the Most In
teresting Event.
The Granville County Fair is only
about one month off, but happily every
thing is moving along nicely and the
indications are fayorable to a grand
display. The ideal Indian Summer
weather, with its tinge of frost on the
pumpkin vine and the golden leaves
of the forest, will inspire every man,
woman and child to go to the Granville
County Fair. The attendance will be
larger and the exhibits better and
more numerous this year than here
tofore, and the management will see
to it that high-class attractions will be
there in abundance.
The Board of Governors of the Gran
ville Commercial Club recognizing that
it is the duty of all organizations and
citizens to actively co-operate with
the Fair management have named a
committee to work for its success.
Those appointed are: J. B. Powell,
chairman; C. D. Ray, J. R Wood, T. C.
Howell, P. H. Montgomery, W. H. Flem
ing, E. G. Couch, E. G. Crews, R. C. M.
Calvert.
A little well directed effort on the
part of the citizens of the county will
insure a fair to be proud of. Ihe good
ladies of the county will be here with
fine exhibits, but, as is usually the
. i
case, tne memory oi man is snort anu
needs a little jogging at times. The
materials essential to a grand exhibit
are at our door, and all that is neces
sary is to have them on exhibition.

but we are told that the car was un

was purely accidental and that the
chauffeur regret3 it exceedingly.
Raleigh Road is the smoothest
thoroughfare in the vicinity of Oxford,
and for that reason the automobiles
are more numerous there than else
where, and there can be little doubt
that some of them exceed the speed
limit. It is indeed fortunate that no
one has been hurt on this favorable
speedway. And it has been noticed
that some of the drivers ol cars swing
around corners rather fast and some of
them neither have horns or fail to
blow them. It is reported that a lady
and two children seated in a buggv
came near being run into at the Lassi-
ter corner, out by the County Home. It
is very necessary for the few who are
inclined to exceed the speed limit to
stop long enough to count the cost
before something serious happens.

July the fourth, when the crowd was
estimated at 10,000 or 12,000 The
occasion was the coming of Downie &
Wheeler's "World's Best Show," and
the general verdict is that the exhibi
tions were novel and well worth the
price of admission.
People in this section were show
hungry, it having been three or four
years since the town was visited by a
circus. This one was well-advertised
and, early Wednesday morning the
crowds began pouring in', though the
