Mr. Carl Ragland, of Route 1, From the standpoint of English diction the 1914 graduating class of the Oxford Graded School takes a high place in the history of the in stitution. The exercises were all prepared under the direction of Mrs. J. Y. Paris, the principal and teacher of English. We were particularly impressed with the Saluatory of Miss Alva Lee Currin and the Vale dictory of Miss Ruth Buxton Shaw, j These two papers showed careful preparation in poise and diction. It doubtless taxed the judgment of the faculty to designate the class honore os. "Egypt, the Land of History and Mystery," an Essay by Miss Alva Lee Currin, would take first rank any where; an Essay: "The Significance of the two Hague Peace Conferen ces," by Miss Helen Paris, was also a masterpiece. There were other papers in evidence which we did not have the pleasure to hear, but we are told that they were given the same thoughtful care and figured , closely in the assignment of honors. Those who heard The Class History, The Class Poem, The Class prophecy, The Class Will and The Distribution of the Class Tokens caught a smat tering of the careful preparation of these papers and the ingenuity and talents of these young people. It is. a pleasure to turn to the closing in cidents of the Oxford High School, and it will be a pleasure to watch the advance of the pupils in the every day life."To those who already have much will be added. unto them." 1 1 it.

GOOD MEN FOR COMMISSIONERS The Democratic Primary in Gran ville county is to be held on Saturday June 20th and the voters cannot be too careful in the selection of men of character and broad views from the ! different sections of the county, who have the confidence of the people, to be the nominees of the party for County Commissioners for the No vember election. It is a very import ant office, even if a man is a target 'for criticism, and is an. honor for any man to serve the goo'd people of Granville in this capacity, and it means a sacrifice for a good man to take the position. Therefore, it is the duty of "the Democratic party to look the field over" carefully and se lect the right men-and "conscript" them to serve the people. Be care ful Mr. Voter and select broad-guag-ed, careful, painstaking men who will have an eye single to the good of the people of every section of our grand old county. We are fortunate in Iiaving such good men candidates for the respective offices within the gift of the people. - . - i . J . I . 1TX1 ..

The little animal, which is about four in ches long was caught in the environs of Oxford by a little colored boy, who presented it to Master Cam Hunt at the cash grocery. The little colored boy heard a commotion in the chick en house and. oil investigation found the weasel attached to the throat of a large hen with four fine chickens scattered about the premises with the life blood, drawn from them. It looks almost impossible for such a small animal to do so much trouble in so short, a space of time. He can crawl through a hole barely larger than your thumb, and no chicken is too large for him to tackle.
