extend their sincere thanks and ap
preciation to the people of Stem com
munity for their kindness and sympa
thy manifested during the illness and
death of their beloved mother, which

Stem Route 2.
Our Warehousemen Oxford is
justly proud of the men who have
care of our several warehouses and
feel safe in asserting that no market
in this or any other State can show
a list comprising men better fitted
for the work. They are our most
substantial citizens and are identified
with the town and county. They
know the home market. All of our
vrarehousemen are buyers of tobacco
in order that no single pile shall be
bid off for less than its value. Our
people can safely trust men of such
character as these. ..'

purpose being to keep abreast with
advanced conditions that each com
munity may take front rank with the

those departments of labor upon
which rests our great natural wealth.

fair of fairs, but the biggest, bright
est" and best event in the recent his
tory of the county. However, the
men who work faithfully for the suc
cess of J;hese annual events cannot ac
complish great things without the in
terest, co-operation and assitance of
the people. The fair is not a private
concern run in the interest of a few,
nor is it a money-making concern.
We are assured by Secretary P. W.
Knott that attention has been given
to a thorough revision of the prem
ium list for this year. . All depart
ments have been enlarged and some
added and it is believed each depart
ment will be found to be complete in
every detail.
The entertainment program is be
ing prepared and all can be assured
that it is one of high character. AThere
will be many "special features equally
pleasing jtobld and young.
- The fair has proven to be one of
our greatest exhibitions in encourag
ing friendly rivalry in the produc
tion both of stock and crops. It
draws a large and delightful crowd
to town and gives us opportunity to
know our neighbors better and enjoy
fellowship with them.
Oxford and Granville people owe
it to themselves and to the Fair As
sociation to give the aid that is nec
essary. It will encourage the offi
cials. Let the slogan be, "Get ready
for the big fair," and let us line up
for it.
The Weekly Arab
on Of St Stephen's Parish
The tenth rSunfday after Trinity.
It does refresh the body to be free for a while, from familiar
and eren loved occupation, but think of the glorious play-times a
mong the possibilities of the soul. 7
John Bunyan was thrust into the dirty Bedford jail, but his
merry-making soul wrote the Pilgrim Progress.
Dante was exiled from Florence, but his soul danced afield,
and he wrote The Divine Comedy.
St. John was flung out in Patmos, and his Satanic Soul heard
"a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying, "Wrte the thing which are
!
and the hings which shall be hereafter. j
The Earth lightened with the glory of God? the vision of
Paradise; the delight of the Delectable Mountains, these are the
real thing of life, the worth while things of Soul and body, coming
to us while the Soul is out for a good time.
