PEOPLE AND THINGS K3bw many of your New Year, res- olutions ni ir soldier boys secin.to be return ; almost as great speed as they were trail sp or ted. last Lt. influenza prevalent . , , m" J S. Watkins, who .was m Ox f i i-st week, states . that there are X riTes of influenza on his and his mother's Places near Cornwall. ciiolitlv Wounded The "casualty list published contained the name; of Tomes 3M. Ellington, of the Oxford rmnpany, who was slightly wounded n't the battle of Bellicourt. It was ie-rned several weeks ago that Lt. FlliiWon was wounded, but the War Debarment did not announce it until lasVweek. ; , . miehlini; the Uniform . " Every day more and more men in uniform are to be seen about ton. and while many will stick to "olive drab" as long as the law al lows the majority are refitting be fore seeking new positions. Fortu natelv this is the season of the year in which tall clothing shops are re ducing goods. Jobs For Soldier Boys All indications just now are to the effect that, despite efforts made in all the camps to return men to their home towns or sections, many of the men will seek new climates in which to hunt their fortunets, "and it ap pears that Oxford and Granville coun tv will lose some of our boys. Special Mention The Body factory was largely in strumental in assisting in the Christ mas Red Cross drive, and this name should have appeared in the report published last week. Parham's Ga rage also get 100 per cent and should have been included in the honorary list. k & b The Financial Statement We are publishing in this issue the financial exhibit of Granville county. This is a very valuable paper and should be filed for reference. Mr. Powell, Register of Deeds, was very careful in compiling the report and if there are any mistakes in the fig ures you may charge them to the Public Ledger. ' Lfoht Snow Despite the fact that the thermom eter stood far below the freezing point at a point undoubtedly where .most folks consider -it-too cold to snow white flakes made a brave at tempt 'to captivate Oxford last Frid ay night, but the chilly feeling which prevailed on the outside, despite the best of clothing, left the opinion that they would soon fail, because it was too cold to snow. t Watch Your Spring Flowers. The weather Bureau has not only sent us a cold spell, but indicates that another is coming fast behind it and it looks as if we may prepare to bid farewell to the out-of doors . flow ers that have so far remained with us There was a fine prospect that with another week of the mild Winter this section has been enjoying the. Spring flowers would have been out in full blossom. In many yards-'they had reached the blooming stage. The Fuel Situation , It will not matter if a few samples of last winter are sent along, the country is not likely to see a repe tition of last season's scenes. ' The Governmet has 1,200 locomotives in reserve for use in case of a Winter blockade, and it is believed this re serve force will be sufficient to keep the traffice going. It was lack of en gines that caused last year's blockade fnd tied up the coal cars, and it is ?- mighty comfortable assurance that The people are now safeguarded a sainst possibility either of coal or food famine.

AN EXPRESSION OF SYMPATHY " By the Baraca Class of Oxford Bap tist Church. It is a blessed privilege to "bear ye one another's burdens, and thus fulfill , the law of Christ." In the providence of God', the President of our class, Brother W. T. Yancey, has been called upon to "pass under the rod." He mourns the loss of his de voted wife, and the way seems dark; his heart is heavy and his spirit is cast down: but he believes in God. whose goodness and mercy shall fol low him all the days of his life. In the hour of his sacred grief he may well say: "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." The members of this class desire to assure .Brother Yancey that they share his sorrow, and we wish to record our expression of sympathy; for him: Therefore, Be it Resolved: First.- That we are deeply griev ed at the loss whih our brother has sustained and wg' tender to him our most sincere sympathy; we pray that he may be able to look through his tears to the throne of grace and say: "The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord." Second. That this sorrow which has come into the life of our brother is keenly felt by every member of this class and we commend to him the comfort which the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ alone can give. Third. That a copy hereof be sent to Brother Yancey and that the Public Ledger be requested to pub lish these resolutions. This December 29, 1918. B. S. Royster, J. Robt. Wood, D. A.
