Gone to Greensboro Mrs- Olivia
Rogers, the excellent house-keeper at
the Exchange Hotel "for many ears,
has accepted i, position with the
Hotel European at Greensboro. It is
her intentions tJ return to Oxford in
September, and open a boarding
house in the old Johnson house. ,
1, 1914. There is no doubt as to the
ability of the Constructing Company
to execute the' contract in every par
ticular, and as to the question of
time-limit it is stated on good author
ity that the contractors have signifi
ed their intention to place a strong
force on the job in the event that
they find they are pushed for time.
The contract calls for. five miles of
good granolithic sidewalks, and May
or Stem and everv member of the
Board are in favor of dry crossings
at principal points.
It -would seem that the prospects
or good sidewalks all over, town is
an inheritance by the first of Septem
ber.
This is one of the things the Pub
ic Ledger has always stood for and
we are still of the opinion that it will
be the greatest event in the history
of the old town, and when, the ride
walks will permit of easy communica
tion from all parts of the town, just
watch and see Oxford grow.
AN OXFORD CHASE
There is more genuine pleasure
and service to be had in owning an
Oxford Chase Buggy than any other
vehicle of the kind on the market.
t is built upon scientific lines and
they have a style all their own. All
through our southland the trade
mark of the Oxford Buggy ompany
s as familiar as the stores. The
Liyon-Winston Company handles
these celebrated vehicles and it is
gratifying to know that the sales are
very large in this and adjoining
counties, as well as in more distant
States. See ad. elsewhere in the pa
per. e
THE CAMEO PIN
We announced m the Public Led
ger last week that a cameo pin had
teen left with us for identification
r.nd that the owner could get it by
paying for the five line advertise
ment. There were several inquiries
fjom various points in the county,
and some of them were very cute.
Ihose who made inquiries from the
eountry drew a design of the pin
they were in search of, and those
living in Oxford came directly to the
Public Ledger office. The pin was
finally delivered to its owner in Ox-
crd, and she was the happiest lady
"ou ever saw when the lost treasurer
was restored to her. Advertisers
neer fail to get results in the Pub
lic Ledger.
GARDEN MART
The Garden Mart which was held
bv the Forestry Committee of the
Civic Club on Wednesday and Thurs
dav was a great success. The follow
ing is a list of seeds and plants given
away:
Roses, lilacs, golden glow, yellow
bell, fleur de lis, narcissus, jonquils,
poppies, larkspur, violets, geraniums,
begonias, fuchias, holly hocks, chry
santhemums, etc. Seeds nasturti
urns, annual nonyuocK.s, nciaii-uo,
alyssum, candytuft, zinnias, salvia,
flox, petunias, sunflowers, marigolds,
etc.
The sale from floral tools, garden
t T J
hats, sun bonnets, flower DasKeis,
and refreshments, netted a good sum
to be' used by the Committee in beau
tifying the town. '
We congratulate the ladies of the
Forestry Committee on their noble
and enthusiastic efforts to beautify
the town. Their efforts should be en
couraged by every one and we hope
there will be a "Garden Mart Day"
every year.
THE NOBLE OLD GUARD
T-o Much Tribute Cannot Be Given
Those Now Aged Veterans of
The Civil War
MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE.
FACES ARE MISSING AND THE
RANKS GROW THINNER
The mention of May 10th is
enough to awaken in the breast, of
the old Confederate veterans a ming
ling feeling of joy and sadness. The
remnant of that fast decreasing army
oi" the South who fought and bled
for the honor of their loved Dixie,
now . living in old Granville, will
have the pleasure of hearing Dr. G.
T. Lumpkin at the Court House on
Memorial Day, and they will be
pleased with the accurate informa
tion that he will bring to them.
The memorial services on the 10th
of May is a reminder to the old
soldiers who attend them that an
other year has passed over their
heads and that soon they too must
answer the last roll call and join
those of their comrades who have
gone before. Each yer finds the
ranks thinner, some well known
face or faces missing, and the hearts
of the remaining are made to ache.
Too much tribute cannot be given
those now aged veterans of a war
that for four long years gripped Jthis
fair country of ours in strife. Gray
hairs have long since covered the
heads of most of those who remain
and they can tell to their grand
children the tales of strife and hard
ship they told to their own children
many years ago. Memorial Day is
an occasion of rejoicing to a certain
extent, and then it is one of mueh
sorrow. While we meet the living
we must think of the dead.

RETURNS FROM PRESBYTERY
Rev. S. K. Phillips was taken
slightly sick at the Presbytery in Wil
son Monday and returned to Oxford.
Mr. John Webb went to Wilson Tues
day to supply for Mr. Phillips. While
Mr. Phillips is aMe to be ou on the
streets he is suffering somewhat with
his throat, but he hopes, to be able to
fill . his pulpit both moraing and
evening Sunday.
CATALOGUES LOOK INVITING
The illustrations in the catalogues
of the retail mail order houses look
inviting. The reading matter sounds
nice, and sometimes the deal turns
out all right.
But, even supposing it does, where
in is the buyer any better off than if
he bought, from the home merchant?
Take any article you choose from the
long list of things sold by mail and
you will find upon investigation that
you can buy it just as cheaply and
just as well at home. ,
SCHOOL CLOSINGS
The closings of the schools of the
county have come thick and fast and
most every one who feels himself
an orator, or who others think one,
has had a, chance tp speak. Some
of the closing exercises of these
schools now are about as good as
those of the high schools tand asade
mie3 a few years ago.
WOMAN'S LITERARY CLUB
Mrs. C D. Ray was hostess to the
Woman's Literary Club en Tuesday
afternoon, April 7th. This hostess
cordial greeting to the club always
prepares those present to enjoy to
the fullest the coming together, the
being there and all!
Jonquils again smiled upon us and
brought silent greetings from some
sheltered spot where their golden
petals had burst into being.
In the absense of the President,
Mrs. E. T. White presided, and. called
the meeting to order with roll call,
responded to with names of Japanese
warriors.
After the minutes werev read the
program wras taken up as follows:
Paper -War with Cfhina, Mrs. J.
W. Horner.
Paper Korea and her neighbors,
Mrs. Couch. ,
Reading Mrs. Ray.
This readins: was highly enjoyable,
being a selection from "Sada fpfc.''
It was just such a selection as left
every one smiling and ready to talk.
This pleasurable discussion was in
terrupted by Mrs. Llewellyn, who ap
peared with such good cake and deli
cious cream, ana in sucn aamiy ser
ving, that no one could remember
ever having better. - .
The lingering was as long as possi
ble at this meeting, only broken by
the falling of the shadows outside. .

The three day's session of th? Tri
State Conference of Orphanage Sup
erintendents, held at the Oxford Or
phan Asylum, come to a close Wed
nesday afternoon.
. Tire first thing on the program
was the inspection of the entire Ox
ford Orphanage plant last Tuesday
evening, and this was a revelation to
the visiting ' superintendents, and
they were loud in their praise of the
equipment and the thorough and
practical system throughout the in
stitution. The healthful surround
ings, the moral atmosphere, the neat
appearance of the children and their
excellent deportment were some of
the compliments that were laid at
the door of Superintendent R. L.
Brown, of the Oxford Asylum.
The address of f welcome by Gen.
B. S. Royster, and the address of
President E. Left Wagoner, of the
Odd Fellow's Orphan Home of Golds
boro, Tuesday night, were gems of
thought garnered from their actual
observations of the fatherless child's
mute appeal.
The session was opened Wednes
day morning with devotional services
by W. P. Jacobs, "of Thornwell Or
phanage, Clinton, S. C, Dr. H. K.
Boyer, of Winston-Salem, talked in
terestingly on the "Placing out
Plan." This was followed at some
length by Rev. M. L. Kesler and Dr.
W. P. Jacobs on the question of "Ed
ucational Readjustment." Dr. J. N.
Cole spoke on the "Entertainment of
mothers."
Ou Wednesday evening at 7:30
o'clock the auditorium was well filled
with visitors from the town to wit
ness the exercir.es of the children.
This was a very interesting song ser
vice in which more than fifty child
ren engaged. They Were neatly at
tired and reflected credit upen the in
stitution and their teachers.
The concert was followed by the
address ef Rev. A. T. Jamerson, Su
perintendent of one of the South Car
olina orphanages. He spoke at some
length on the subject of "Community
Obligation." He urged that it is the
part of wisdom to investigate very
closely the applications to enter
children in the orphanages 'and see if
the money spent in maintaining a
child in an orphanage would not be
of greater service if placed in the
hands of the 'child's mother. Mr.
Jamerson does not believe in separat
ing a child from its mother if - only
dollars and cents are involved, but
he admitted that if the home inlu
efles are not entirely clean and
wholesome the child would be bene
fited in a well regulated orphanage.
A paper, "What Shall be Done
with the Unpromising Girl" was dis
cussed Thursday morning by Revs.
J. A. Smith ' and W. B. Wharton.
Prof. Jno. E. Ray, of Raleigh, ad
dressed the conference on "The Di
seases of the Eye."
The Conference come to a. close
Thursday noon after passing a reso
lution thanking Superintendent R. L.
Brown and his valuable assistants
for the many courtesies shown them
as guests of tho institution.
A NEGLECTED INDUSTRY
The PubTfc Ledger's observations
about the county fairs last Tall vere
to tae effect that the women's part
was up to and in some respects above
the mark, while the farmers, them
selves, fell far short of doing what
they should hare done in the way of
exhibits, this being particularly the
case in the matter of live-stock. The
contention that the farmers of North
Carolina are lagging behind, in rais
ing live stock is sustained by the re
port on farm animals for the year
1913 compared with i912. There
were fewer milk cows in North Caro
lina last year than were in 1912
not only that fewer cattle and
sheep, the former less by 7,000 and
the later by '4,000. In the face of
the growing importance of the dairy
ing business, the supply of milk cows
had .increased by 3,000. North Car
olina ought to be one of the finest
stock-raising States in the Union, yet1
it had last year only 177,000 sheep,
or about enough to stock a moderate
ly good sized ranch in the West.
There were but 30P.000 milk cows
and 365,000 of all other cattle. These
figures would seem to indicate the
extent to which the land owners in
North Carolina jare neglecting the
greatest of all industries that of
live stock raising. The climate is
suitable all the year round. Gran
ville county could more than double
its production of live stock.
WAKE UP GENTLEMEN
. We rise to ask what has become
of the Merchants Association, as
this is the time for them to put in
good work and make Oxford the best
trading center in this section? The
same will apply to the Commercial
Club, as it seems to be resting on its
oars.
