jEX pAGESL TODAY. REMEMBER THE FAIR. ALL IHIOME PRMT VOLUME- XXXI. OXFORD, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 191G NUMBER 83 A STRONG MART fiST "WEEK WAS A RECORD lUiEAlvER IN POINT OF HIGH AVERAGES Each of tlie Five Sale Days on the "Local Market Last AVeek Was Crowded Brim Full of Interest With a Sale on Saturday Thrown in For Good Measure. Xiie market opened good and trcng on Monday ' morning a week 0 and assumed a lively pace throughout the week. The better pades predominated and the local Milks paid out in round numbers about $175,000 for the golden leaves, the Minor Warehouse having one sale that amounted to a fraction over 10,000. I'n the absence of actual fisures it would be a difficult matter to estimate which of the rive ware houses handled the most and the best tobacco, but it is safe to say the farmers in every instance were high lv pleased with the sales. There v. as so much tobacco on the market Friday they did not reach the Johnson Warehouse until Saturday morning, and it was a record breaker in point of high averages and num ber of pounds sold. Among the bet ter grades on the floor we 'noticed that of Senator Titus Currin. He had abuot 1,500 pounds, one pile of 166 pounds selling for $72 per hun dred, and another pile weighing 153 pounds brought $65 per hundred. These prices gave tone ot the market and made everybody feel good. One fellow we don't know his name threw his hat into the air and yelled, Good bor!" Soon after disposing of Senator Currin's tobacco, the auc tioneer and buyers ran across some fine tobacco belonging to W. H. Mon tague, of Tar River section. He had 520 pounds on the floor, which sold for $251.54, one pile of which weigh ed 162 pounds and brought $82.50 per hundred. The market opened strong again this week, with the buyers eager for all grades. FOOTBALL GAME SATURDAY. The Oxford Hij?hs Will-' Meet the Chapel Hill High School on Htxriier Hill. The Oxford Highs will play their second game on the home grounds this coming Saturday when they meet the team from the Chapel Hill High School. Since the game with Raleigh team much work has been done to get the boys in good shape for the season. The fact that the Raleigh game was the first game several of the boys had ever seeen and the first one any one had ever played in made the vanning of that game, a hard task. But the experience obtained in that contest is the greatest thing of the year. They now know what it is to meet another team in actual conflict and the result will be a different tale this time. Team in Fine Condition. During the past week hard scrim mage practice has been held and the team is hard and in the best of con dition. Some new and very effective plays have beeen worked out. Those who saw the last game must take advantage of this one coming this week. Tell others what you' are expecting your " boys to do. Oxford High School spirit is good this year fad the help and interest of the pat ens of the school is all that is needed to make this the best year in the school's history.

Re turn games are to be played with Haleigh and Chapel Hill this season. Boy's Football Suits. The new outfit given the High school Football Team was, of course, be paid for by subscription. The jjoys have been aroud to get some telP, and those seen have helped lib ally. There is still a need of a ut $35.00, and it is necessary for fy one to help and make the bur light.

The size of the crowds, the appreciative listenings an the enthusiam manifested affords Chairman Hicks and his co-workers the greatest satisfaction. Chairman Hicks has now moved up his estimate of the County majority a peg or two and will not be content with less than 1200 majority for the whole ticket. And he is confidently expecting to get it. Friday night the candidates were at Corinth School House where about 25 voters greeted them. Saturday afternoon the speaking was at Stem where 125 people were assembled. Saturday night Tar River Station was the gathering place and not less than 50 voters faced the speakers. At Stem a number of Republicans were in the audience but at all three places nearly all those present were Demo crats and expressed an intention ,pf voting and working for the ;.- ticket from Wilson down. At each place some of the candi dates were present but it has been impossible for all of them to attend at all the appointments. Mr. Brum mitt, candidate for the House, has at tended all the appointments and ex pects to be present at every place. He is devoting most of his speech to a discussion of a number of things put forward by Mr. Gooch in the an nouncement recently made by Mr. Gooch. It is pleasant to note that the campaign being conducted between Brurnmitt and Gooch is upon a high plane and that the most pleasant feelings exists between the two can didates. Mr." Gooch was in the au dience at Stem and heard a part of Mr.. Brummitt's speech. When the speech had been concluded -the . two shook hands genially and smilingly, and both say that no harsh or bitter word shall be spoken by him with respect to the other. Of course, ev- (Continued On Page Four) DR. LUMPKIN RESIGNS CHARGE The Noted Baptist Divine Will Go To Suffolk, Va. Dr. G. T. Lumpkin, who came to the Oxford Baptist church three years ago from -Winston-Salem, tendered his resignation last Sunday night, stating that he had accepted the call to the First Baptist church, Suffolk, Va., the resignation to take effect November 30th. The resignation at this writing has not been accepted by the Church. It is acknowledged on all sides that Dr. Lumpkin has done a fine work in Oxford and throughout the county during his ministerial labors cover ing a period of about three years. There were more than three hundred accessions to the Oxford church dur ing his pastorate, and his assistance given to the churches elsewhere were very fruitful. Sine coming to Oxford, Dr. Lump kin has had numerous calls, among them being a leading church in Bal timore and Norfolk. While he would not accept the flattering call to -Norfolk last spring, it was generally known that Virginia, his native State, especially the Eastern Shore churches lay very closely to his heart. His resignation came as a surprise to the large congregation and many were the sad hearts. The Suffolk church to which Dr. Lumpkin goes, has a magnificent church edifice, a membership of six hundred and a flouprishing Sunday School. Suffolk has a populaiton of 13,000 and it is regarded as one of the best fields for energetic work in the South. Dr. Lumpkin will take with him the high esteem of the Christian people of the, entire com munity. : , , : " StiU Going On -The money-saving sale at Cohn & Son is still going on. When ; their doors opened for the first-day of the sale it was the beginning of the big gest selling events. The crowds that " thronged their stores know too that it is a real sale with genuine bar gains. Everybody seemed to be hap py, and with a smile. ,.WhRt caused this? Prices, attentive sales people, and Cohn & Son's fair dealings to all. Cohn & Son's sales grow bigger in importance and power everytirhe they put on a sale. For not only are hew faces attracted, but all their old cus tomers return. Because they know from experience that these.? are just what the appeallation implies. It means that you can select: any thing from their vast stocks " and : save money.' Even if " you were there at the opening ofS the sale it will pay you to go there again this week and next, for many new bargains will be placed on sale everyday.
