THE FIRE BELL. SOUNDS
A Lighted
Cigarette Tossed Into a
Cusnedor Kindles a Flame
A lighted cigarette tossed careless
ly into a wooden cuspedore filled with
saw dust came dangerously near in
volving the business section of Ox
ford in one mighty flame Tuesday
morning.
A colored man passing along Hills
boro street from the Imperial Tobac
co plant at 5 o'clock this-Tuesday
morning discovered the flame in the
stnrp of J. D. Brooks and gave the
alarm. The firemen responded with
their usual alertness and prevented
what might have been the greatest
fire in the history of Oxford.
As stated above, the timely arrival
of a colored man averted a calamity.
The town commissioners should pro
vide a watchman for the business sec

never slumber during his hours of

the flame may break forth with such
'velocity and gain such headway that

ANNUAL FEAST
Mr. Lonnie Smith, the jovial pro
prietor of the Exchange Hotel, enter
tained a host of his friends at supper
Saturday night. The invited guests
to the number of fifteen well known
men about town gathered in the par
lors, and after a hearty hand shake
and a brief chat the doors of the spa
cious dining room swung open and all
was merry. Mayor Thad G. Stem
was given the seat at the head of the
table with the following ' gentlemen
on either side: Col. Baliou,'Gen. B. S.
Rovster. A. A. Hicks, Judge Graham,
Thnrntnti w Yancey. Dr. E. T.
White. Earnest Parham, J. J? Med
ford. Calvin Breedlove, C. W. Bryant,
Jack Haskins, Eugene Moss, Sam
Watkins and D- A. Coble. It was a
tempting menu of fresh meats, crack
iiT.tr Krpari and Java coffee, served in
sdendid style. Business, politics
law and order were discussed while
the eood things were being passed
and the guests voted Mr. Smith a typ
ical landlord and a jolly good fellow.
Reasembling in the parlors with big
Havana cigars between their fingers,
a pleasant hour was spent in conver
sation. During the evening Mr. and Mrs.
grnitti were complimented on the
many improvements inaugurated
during the year. Steam-heated,
electric-lighted, with its telephone
system and baths, the commercial
travellers are singing the praise of
the Exchange Hotel from one end of
the state to the other, and deserved
ly so.

Coming up Gilliam street, about
7:30 Saturday night, our informant
saw a couple of ladies and gentlemen
standing in front of the Seaboard sta
tion. They had gone to the station
to meet friends, and finding the door
of the waiting room closed they
stood out in the rain and the cold.
When they could star J it no longer
they went to a side window, raised it,
and a boy crawled in and opened the
door.
These are the bare facts in the case
as given to us. Some one, high or
ow, in the great Seaboard system is
negligent to duty. Whether it is a
sweeping order from headquarters to
retrench, or whether the porter at the
station is not complying with the rul
es and regulations we are not advised.
But to see ladies standing out in
front of the passenger station in the
wet and the cold, waiting for belated
trains speaks very bad for the man
agement, to say the least.
