Kindness Wondrous Long, Budie Adell Long, Beblin Guilford Paul Nicholas Patrick Hamilton Long, Lula Lee Long, Ada Perwada Long, Furgeson Malachi Solomon Long. Can any one match these? Durham Sun. , Good Times in Oxford. That times are good in this locality is well revealed in the money that is ' being spent for luxuries these days. 1 The merchants, milliners and dress makers have enjoyed the best spring trade for many years. But what strikes the observer as partic ulary illustrative of good times is the large number of handsome turn outs that roll over the streets these beautiful June afternoons. Oxford has certainly moved forward at a rapid space, and will continue to do so. What a Man Can Walk off With in Gold. If a man of average muscular strength, a strong man and a very strong man were told that they might have as much gold as they could carry a mile the average man might carry one-hundred pounds of gold a mile. He would have over $26,000 if he succeeded. The strong man could perhaps, get to the end of his mile with one hundred and fifty pounds of gold. He would have $30,750. The very strong man could possibly struggle the end of his with t wo hun dred pounds. That would give him about $53,000. A iiood Cough rUdicine.

Hall, OXFORD CARRIES OFF HONORS. Our Bright Boys will Have Their Share Brilliant German, etc At the commencement last week w noted with much pleasure that the Oxford boys as usual carried off man y of the honors, both in medals and otherwise We are not surprised at this, for it is no exception to the rule. In all contest they generally carry away the laurels. The scholarship medal in primary department was easily won by Mas ter Lewis N. Taylor, who also cap tured the declaimer's medal. His rendition of "John Mavnard" wri.s listened to with closest attention and ' elicited much applause. "The Last Hymn" by Marion Tay lor also deserves special mention. One of the most pleasing and en-' tertaining efforts of the commence ment was that of little Elliott Cooper whose rendition of "Pieuzis' address to the Romans," by pantomime was received with greatest delight and much applause. Though very young he is gifted as a pantominjist. He has appeared several times on the stage lately and every time he is sure to bring down the house. The medals were presented bv Mr. Sidney W. Minor, Oxford's popular and magnetic young mayor. It is useless to say that Mr. Minor's pre sentation speech was appropriate to the occasion and gracefully made, as he never does things by halves. The final german came on Friday night and was the leading social event of the season. It was the larg est german ever given in Oxford, as GO couples wTere on the floor, and im mensely enjoyed by our young peo ple. Visitors from all parts of the State and from Virginia and South Carolina were present. Among the large number of pretty ladies from a distance that graced the floor none of them eclipsed our Oxford girls in beauty and grace. Acquitted Himrelf Handsomely. It is a pleasure to the editor to learn that our esteemed and brilliant young townsman, Frank Hobgood, acquitted himself with so much credit at the commencement at Wake For est College last week. He responded in an elegant and graceful manner at the banquet to the toast: "The Law its Majesty and its Motives." The press and the people are loud in their praise of his graceful and pleasing effort on that joyous occasion, and many pronounced it themostelegant speech of its kind ever made at Wake Forest. We congratulate Col. 'Hob good upon his able effort. He never disappoints an audience, and touches nothing but to adorn it. List Your Solvent Credits. Now the tax-listing time is on a number of our exchanges are calling attention to the fact that it is well for persons who own notes, bonds, mortgages or other solvent credits, as these are commonly called, to know that if such solvent credits are not listed for taxation they are not recoverable by action at law or suit in equity before any of the courts in this State until they have been listed and the taxes paid thereon." The Public Ledger gives this infor mation for the benefit of those who are so fortunate as to own solvent credits. Tar Heels at Memphis. At the Confederate Veterans Re union at Memphis last week the men of the "Old North State," were next in Hue to Virginia and they carried the first battle flags seen in the pa rade. The crowd cheered again and again as the old banners that had floated in the smoke of bloodiest battles of the war went by. The second brigade of North Carolina troops was composed of the famous "Tar Heels," Cabarrus Camp, and the survivors of the Thirty-Ninth North Carolina Infantry closed the line of the State, there being about 200 men in the column. A Slight Blaze. About 10 o'clock Tuesd ay night the kitchen to the dwelling occupied by Mrs. Sarah Callis, on Raleigh street, wras found to be on fire, and the alarm was given. Neighbors were promptly on the spot and went to work, and by the time the people from up town arrived had the flames under control, and the fire was soon put out. The Are originated in the wall near the floor and the flames went up to the roof burning a large hole in it. There was no damage to the other part of the dwelling. Mrs. Callis, who has been quite sick for some time, was removed to a neighbor's.house and about allthe fur niture taken out of the house, which proved unnecessary. A Sprained Ankle Quickly Cured.

On Sunday night last while a gang f colored boys were returning from church they teased Joe Mills to such in extent tha t he become very angry ly the time he reached the passenger depot. He lived close by and run in the house and got his gun, and all the boys except Elijah Holeman run. Mills spied Holeman and pulled away fill ing his head and arms full of small shot, inflicting no serious injury, but from the noise he made the neighbors thought he was shot all to pieces. Immediately after the shooting Mills left for parts unknown, and probably not be caught until he ac cidentally walks iuto the clutches of the law. We appeal to the officers of the law to take some steps to stop so much shooting around town at night if it takes :0 extra policemen to do it. We have had enough of the use of firearms inOxford, and it has become 1 common question in the mornings: 'Was anybody shot last night? I heard lots of shooting going on." A Happy and Pretty Marriage. The chapel of the Oxford Orphan Asylum, which had been tastily dec orated with flowers, palms, potted plants, etc, was the scene of quite a pretty and happy married Tuesday af ternoonato o'clock, when Miss Eliza beth W.,the fine looking daughter of Col. and Mrs. W J.
