Fine Showing We call attention
to the financial statement of the Nat
ional Bank of Granville, elsewhere in
this isue of the Public Ledger. Fig
ures are always interesting and in
this instance are most cheering.

gret to learn that Mr. Joe Puckett,

splendid farmer who "lives at home"
on Route 6, sold in Oxford Wednes

on the market. The hams ranged in

ed. Pine Strawberries Major P. H.
Montgomery is meeting with rare
success in the cultivation of straw
berries. Perhaps the Major got his
Plants while on some of his trips to
the Rocky Mountains; at any rate
nothing like it was ever before seen

and at the same time there being , a
Profusion of blcoms; 4
Huge Potatoes Mr. A
good is undoubtedly the
Irish potato grower of
county. He brought to the Public
Ledger office this week a large
smooth tuber of the Irish Cobler
variety that weighs about two
Pounds. We could see that Mr. Hob
cod was sornwhat worried when he
entered the Public Ledger office and
e hastened to ask him what trou
bled him. "Well, I had a couple
much larger than this one," said Mr.
Hobgood, "but the cook couldn't get
them in the pot and she cut them up
befre I saw her." These potatoes
ere grown in a lazy bed.

The Ambon
of St Stephen 's Parish
The Christian Year formerly sets aside two hundred and three
days out of each year, for some kind of public or private recogni
tion, on our part, of the facts, and demands of our Christian Faith.
The Prayer Book presents annually "a moving picture" of the his
tory of the Saviour, as a spiritual drama of His Life, and a re
membrance of His companions on earth; it is framed to catch the
eye, and to stir the imagination of the most careless.
Oxford observes two of these Church Days religiously: Easter
and Christmas; two secularly: Monday in Easter Week, and Mon
day in Whitsun-Week; one for Social Service; St. John Baptist's
Day; one in merriment: Halloween, or the Eve of all Hallows, All
Saints Day. Our English Civilization had its roots in the ordered
Services in the parish Church, and the religious pageantry, and
games on the village Greens on festal days.
