Every article in the men's and ladies stores will be sacrificed preparatory to moving their men's store into the old post office building and enlarging their ladies store. They will not carry over a single article. " Preparations are well in hand to entertain the throng of people who will gather at the Oxford Orphan Asylum on St. John's Day, Wednes day, June 24. The railroads are sending in special schedules and special rates for that occasion. The Grand Master of the Masonic Frater nity has appointed Mr. J. C. Kittrell, of Henderson; to deliver the oration, and we can safely say that he has something in store for the thousands of visitors who will be in Oxford on that day. The Oxford Lodge has designated Mr. D. G. Brummitt to de- -liver the address of welcome, and this he will do in a most acceptable manner. " The Raleigh Lodges are behind a scheme to bring the Third Regiment Band to Oxford, which will add to the pleasure of the visitors. While St. John's Day enables thousands to vis it the Orphanage and see the good that -is being accomplished for the fatherless ones, it is also an occasion of strengthening and renewing friendships. The attendance has been very large for many years, and as the railroad fare is a fraction lower than on previous occasions the crowd will doubtless be somewhat larger this year. Those who have kept tab on the weather say it invariably rains on St. John's Day, but let us hope that we will have several refreshing showers before that date, and should it rain on that day there is plenty of shelter in Oxford to protect all who may come. Everybody is welcome and we hope old Granville will shake the rafter on this occasion. One of the features of St. John's Day at the Orphanage is the barbe cue, and Mr. R. L. Brown, superin tendent, advises that the shoats are fine this year.

Thompson of Creedmoor is in a hospital in Durham with two broken ribs and . a number of other injuries, while his car is almost a complete wreck. Mr. Thompson and a party of friends had been in Durham for the week-end and ,were returning home Sunday morning before daylight. They were in the northern section of the city, and working their way out towards the Creedmoor road, had to use Markham street, the lower end of which makes, a horseshoe curve. not knowing of this curve and instead of taking it, went straight ahead into an unused part of the street. His car had not gone far before it ran into a stump in the road, and broke the front axle and did other damage which will necessitate new parts in the fixing. Mr. Thompson was thrown out and the other mem bers of his party were greatly shaken up but they were not very seriously injured. N EARING COMPLETION The furniture for the new post office has been shipped and as soon as it arrives it will be installed. The only unfinished work Is the wiring of the building and. this will not re quire more than a week or ten days. Mr. Morrell, supervising Architect, advises Postmaster Osborn that he sees no reason why he cannot move into the new office on July 1st. THE DRY SPELL A party came in on tne Henderson train Monday night and stated that it was raining to "beat the band" in Henderson when he left there. Rather doubting the statement, a well known man about town called up Central and asked her to find out if it was raining in Henderson, where-upon the lady at the- other end of the wire said that no rain had fallen there in several weeks. Death of Infant The infant child of Mr.' and Mrs. Ward Montague, who died in Henderson Sunday, was buried in the old family grave yard near Tar River Monday.
