PPOMTUNHTnES ALL HOME PRINT OXFORD, NORTH CAROLINA, WET CHURCH NOTES nVFOUD BAPTISTS ADOPT BUILD u ING PLANS Evolution Adopted With a View of Kstablishing a City Union to Be Held Once or Twice a Month. The congregation at the Oxford RiDtist church last Sunday morning rnanimousiy auuptuu. piuus io en larsre their church building. The plans as outlined include the pur chase of a narrow strip, of land ad joining the church on the north side and immediately in rear of Dr. Can lady's office. The plans call for a tv-o-story addition extending partly along the east side of the church .nd un to Dr. Caunady's office on the north side. When completed, the church will have seventeen class rooms. The interior of the church -iriil also undergo a change with a vipw of relieving congested condi tions. A spacious gallery is one of the items suggested as a means of affording ample seating capacity. The annual State-wide Go-toSun-day School Day was appropriattely or served at the Oxford Baptist church Sunday morning. The class exercises and songs were interesting. Ir. A. A. Hicks, superintendent of tlie Oxford Methodist Sunday School, vas present by invitation and deliv ered a magnificient address on State Missions. In illustrating and mak ing a point clear, Mr. Hicks stated that if you go out into the highways and by vays and bring a person into the church or Sunday school you have complied with one of the devine laws governing missions. - In his address, "Why Church Mem bers Should Go to Sunday School," General B. s. K oyster excused no man. He gave many reasons why it i? better to be at Sunday School than it is to sit around the porch Sunday morning reading novels. m. yVgEPT., 27th, 1916 NUMBER 77 AT i . ivuuemoer th is the m n ruTirnTi n mm Day For the Elentinn.Jl A till Mil TLAW 1 Crisp Daps Are l atUD OF ELECTIONS lt MARES G PREPARATIONS With Us Again SENATOR CURRIN, M.

Devin From A movement was launched by the Oxford Baptist Baraca Class last Sunday morning looking to the or ganization of a city union in Oxford. There were about one hundred mem bers present, including Senator A. A Hicks, superintendent of the Method ist Sunday School, whp was present by invitation. The motion' to estab lish a city union grew out of the fact that there are a large number of people in this section who do not at tend any church or Sunday School. The plan is to form an organization of workers from all of the churches in the community, rent a building' and meet once or twice a month. A committee was appointed to confer and see what can be done. HANDSOME FRATERNITY SIGN Adorns Front of Odd Fellow's Temple. The Odd Fellows, Masons, Wood men of the World, Red Men and the Junior Ordpr have erected a hand some sign high up on the front wall of the Odd Fellow's building at the head of Main street. The sign was made in Columbus, Ohio, aP'i cot about $120. Frosted glass with the names and emblems of the orders represented, form five compartments in a box about eight IHt ion, and about two feet across either of the 'three faces. There bein. no lodge meeting last Saturday night all five- of the com partments were lighted ahd presented a handsome appearance. The em ticms and wording were easily seen m three directions at a distance of one block. On lodce nights, only the com partment representing the fraternity m session will be lighted. CAPT.

He can sup members of the Currin committee ply two hundred hogs and cattle the Will hogs thrive in Granville coun ty? Well, let us sit' up and" take notice. - It will be remembered that the Na tional Bank of Granville issued fif teen blooded pigs to boys and girls of Granville county about two months ago. WThen they were given out by the Bank they were very small and most any five-year-old boy could carry them around in his arms., Well, if you should see those pigs today you would be surprised. It sounds so much like fiction it is al most dangerous to tell what has hap pened to those pigs. If it was away off yonder in Pennsylvania or the far West you would gulp the truth of the statement ' down and never wince, but right here in Granville the land of the tobacco stalk it is startling in its nature. ' : In telling, the story, it must be re membered that the boys and girls who accepted the pigs at the hands of the National Bank of Granville a greed and consented to raise the pigs according to certain prescribed notes and regulations. Mr; Frank- Currin, of - Route . 6, whose word is as good as gold, Sta tes that the pig which was issued to him has gained lOOVpcunds in sev enty days. That sounds good, but along comes Dr. Morris, County Agent, and tells us that the pig in the possession of Miss Kinton, at Kin ton Forks, has gained 63 pounds in 3 0 days. The resources of Granville are wonderful! If one hog will gain two pounds per day, five hundred hogs will gain 1000- pounds per day. If hogs on the hoof sell for 10 cents per pound the owner is getting rich at the rate of $100 per day, less the feed, and anybody knows $20 will feed 500 hogs per day. $200.

Taylor, 35 years ago, while a clerk in the store of Kronen heimer on Hillsboro street, sold a hat to Mr. S. O. Parham, who now resides on Oxford Route 3. For several years Mr. Parham only wore the hat on Sunday, but for the past ten years it has been in constant use. There is not a break in the hat and Mr. Parham thinks that it is good for ten more years of wear and tare. ' Hold's the Banner High W. Z. Mitchell, proprietor of the Banner Warehouse, has spoken the word and high prices prevail on his floor every day. Mr. E. H. Crenshaw Handles Chalmers Car Since Mr. E. H. Crenshaw accepted the agency of the Chalmers car a few week ago it has bounded into public favor. The Chalmers car is known for its high quality. Out of $56,- 000. 000 spent in the construction of the cars, $250,000 is spent in final tests to make doubly sure your Chalmers is right. It sounds like a lot of money, but when a company maintains the slogan of "Quality First" and bases a $56,000,00Q busi ness on the quality idea, then it be comes clear. If you want to see something fine and durable, see the Chalmers at Mr. Crenshaw's Garage. Announcement will be found on page two of this paper. The Minor Warehouse It is important that the farmers should study their own interests. A glance at the announcement of Mr. 1. W. Mangum, proprietor of the Minor Warehouse, on the last page of this paper, will set you straight. News Fifty Years Ago (Richmond Dispatch, Sept. 20, 1866) "The first bale o new cotton was sold in Petersburg day before yester day. It was grown by. Colonel Wil liam H. Cheek, of Warren County, N. C, who is well remembered as the gallant commander of the First North Carolina Cavalry Regiment during the war. The bale weighed 365 pounds, and was sold in Petersburg at 40 cents per pound. In addition, it was entitled to the $50 premium offered for the first bale." Col. William H. Cheek, referred to above, was the father of Mrs. A. S. Hall of Oxford, and the husband of Mrs. Cheek, who is now the guest of her daughter. Good As His Word In his announcement elsewhere in this paper Sam Watkins states that he can please the farmers, and we find that what ever Sam says goes.
