He also ha" an abundance and to spare, but his brother Wes claims the prero gative of renewing his subscription to the Public Ledger every year just before the frost touches the vine. (Jet In Line v The entire world will soon be making a new beginning. Will Ox ford and Granville county be found in the front ranks, or asleep by the wayside? The twenty-six thousand people of the town and county will certainly come up short of their share of the world's progress if they depend upon the sale of ten million pounds of tobacco. The future calls for manufacturing plants and provisions. Civil Service Examinations The United States Civil Service Commission announces an open com petitive examination for clerks with knowledge of stenography of type writing, for both men and women, on November 2, 1917, at Oxford and other offices. Vacancies in clerical posi tions requiring some knowledge of stenography or typewriting in the De partmental Service at Washington, D. C. at entrance salaries ranging from ?!ififi to $1,200 a year, will be filled from this examination. See Mr. Nel son M. Ferebee at the Oxford post office for particulars. An Old Auctioneer A number of years ago, we do not recall just how many years Mr. Thomas Frazier, of Surl, Person county, was one of the best auction eers in Oxford. He is now a suc cessful farmer and makes it a rule to sell his tobacco on the Oxford market. He sold at the Minor last Friday and received forty dollars a hundred for his best lugs. "This is a fine market and a fine town," .re marked Tom, and here's hoping he will return soon and often. Don't Glut the Market Many growers in the Piedmont section of North Carolina are cut tins; the last of their tobacco now, and the curing process will be push ed as fast as possible' to get the weed to market without delay. Once more we would urge farmers "to "take their time" in marketing their crops of tobacco. . They hurt them selves in a vital spot in their pock etbooks when they glut the mar ket. Xo question about prices re maining sky-high nor is there any likelyhood that all the money will be gore out of the banks before the lp'St pound of tobacco is paid for Southern Tobacco Journal. John Yonnsf Commended John Young:, proprietor of the Casino, last Friday entertained all the colored school children of Ox ford v ith an education picture at "is theatre. The children enjoyed the pvnt so immensely, John has oecido, to entertain them every Friday matinee during the winter. Thr i3 one thing that Young de man ? ,,f the children, namely: nen Old Glory is shown in . full a!1 the children must rise and stand at attention. Superin tendent cr. B.
