CANNADY Expresses Regrets That He Can Not Serve in the Ca pacity of Commissioner. To the Public Ledger: In as much as my name has been mentioned several times as Town Cmmissioer.I feel called upon to state that I am not in position to serve as Commissioner, because mA business will require my being out of Oxford a great deal of ."my time. At the same ttme I want to assure you that it is always a pleasure for me to do anything I can for Oxford" I do feel, however, that the present Board has been criticised unjustly. You cannot expect anyone to pave streets and fix side-walks unless they have money to do it with. I have failed to see any charges against the presentBoard of Commis sioners where they have spent mon ey unjustly. They all have now had experience and I am heartly in favor of electing the presentBoard. I regret very much indeed, at the citizens' meeting, that the majority did not see proper to issue $30,000 in bonds for street improvements. I do not consider that $5,000 a year will amount to very much. We need an experienced man to advise us how to fix our streets and side walks, and we certainly could not get this man when we only have $5,000 to spend. I am frank to state that I believe $50,000 should have been issued for street im provements. With only $5,000, in case it should be issued, I believe it should be spent on the side walks as this would give better re sults to our citizens than spending a part on the streets and a part on the side-walks. In this connection I think the property owner should pay one-half for his side-wa'k. Assuring you of my very best wishes, I beg to remain, Yours very truly, N. H. CANNADY. Rosemond-Moss Marriage. On Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock, March 18, the home of Mr. Carl Cozart, ol Creedmoor, was the scene of a hap py greeting.

Hes ter the company dispersed feelirg hap py for the greetings and refreshments of the evening, and Mr. and Mrs. Moss repaired to their home carrying with them the congratulations of many friends. Won't You Remember Us ? The editors would greatly appreciate it if those who go a-visiting and those who have visitors would call us up and tell us about it. If you entertain a club or pull off some social stunt there is no harm in telling the editors about it. We won't tell that you told us and you owe it to yourself and your friends to make the paper interesting and it helps all round. Try it some. And if your name does not appear in the Pub lic Ledger as often as it should kick yourself for it's your own fault. Oxford Junior Civic League.
