Importance to the Health and

To the Citizens of Oxford:
I desire to call your attention to

tains so much that is of vital initerest
to every citizen of our town I have
asked and obtained permission to
have it published, in full. Read it
carefully Mr. Citizen, and ask your
self the question "What duty in re
lation to the conditions spoken of in
thi3 report do I o.ve to my town: 'the
other citizens thereof, to my family
ana to myself ?"
If you will give the matter the con
siaeracion it deserves and with an
honest desire to ascertain the nature
of the duty the answer will not be
hard to find. The report in full is

year and consider the outlook in toto
rather than in part as the individual
farmer would naturally do.
EXPECTS DECREASE
In an interview with Mr. J. W
Horner of the firm of Horner Bros.
-o., one of the largest dealers in fer
terlizers in this section of the state
he stated that it was practically Im
possible to make a fcrediction at hi
time, but at this moment it looked
as if the farmers would use a little
luc e i mree-iourths of as much
of commercial fertilizer as thev have
consuming. "February," be
is really the month when con
tracts for fertilizers are made,, but it
is possible to get a pretty accurate
line on the probabijties now. Our
indications are that the farmers will
use between 70 and 75 per cent of
the uaual amoun. of commercial fer-
The decrease, however, in
the amount of fertilizers that will be
consumed does not necessarily mean
mat this well represent any consider-
port of the committees
These Committees visited every
Market, Fruit store, grocery store,
drug store, warehouse, public bulld
? ing, cemetery, alley and street in Ox-
v ford, and It is our purpose . in. this
communication to present to you the
conditions as we found them, show
ing you liow this community stands
as to health, sightliness, and sanita
tion, and to make an earnest appeal
io your rtoncrabie Board to right
: these conditions at once by enforcing:
- the ordinances you have provided for
the welfare of the people.
1st. Aireys and Streets: With but
few exceptions we found that your or
dinances (under Streets and Street
Committee, Chapter 2, Sections, No
t, , a, iu, za, and 28, and under
Health, Sanitation and Nuisances
Sections No. 4, 7, 8, and 11,) were
not observed by the people and mer
chants of Oxford, and that in the rear
ucttur every store mere was a
heaping pile of unsightly, and in
many cases unsanitary and unsafe
rubbish, thus meaning the health
and safety from fires of these locali
ties, this rubbish being left to be
swept into the streets by the first
wind thus making the streets un
sightly. If your Street Commission
ers and -Police would look to their
responsibility in this respect and en
force your very proper and very good
ordinances much of this could be re
medied and the town carts would
have much more time for filing holes
in streets and keeping the residence
parts of the town In better order;
and if fines were levied where parties
were guilty the Town Treasury in
creased by a very large per cent. We
also observed that section No. 44
was not enforced at all and that
spitting was allowed on every side
walk on Main, Hillsboro and College
streets and especially was it object
ionable at the North East corner of
College and Hillsboro stfeets and in
front of other stores where the
crowds collect thus endangering
fruits and other food stuffs" which are
left uncovered on stands and sold to
the innocent school children and j
yBte.rs-uy. xi mis oramance was
rigidly enforced we think perhaps
some aid might be gained towaTd ar
resting the terrible spread of Tuber?
iC-ulosis.
2d. Grocery Stores and Ice-Cream
Parlors: In making a survey of the
Grocery Stores and Drug Stores we
were shocked to find that in many
cases foods were very carelessly
handled and many of the premises
-were in an unsanitary .condition.
With but few exceptions (and we do
aaot mention names because . we be
lieve that you wil at an early date
make a survey and can then see con
ditions for yourselves) we found that
spitting upon the floors of the stores
was freely indulged in and foods left,
uncovered to be contamianted by the
dry germs from the sputa, this food
then being sold to the people. '

. Fair Salaries
Some one asks why it is that more
young men receiving fair salaries do
not get married? Well, we took n
the question with a young man and
learned from him that so far as the
young ladies of Granville are con
cerned they want to fare more luxur
iously than fair salaries will permit.

If there is any deficit in the reve
