NEEDED IN OXFORD -A NEW HOTEL It Is Essential to our Prosperity and Should be Built The next improvement most needed in Oxford is a new hotel and an up-to-date hotel. Having secured the graded school and other enterprises for which we have been fighting, the next thing we should work for is a good hotel. There are several ad vantages which a good hotel gives a town. Chief among these is the splen did advertisement it affords. Many towns, especially the smaller towns, are known favorably or unfavorably , , ... , just according to tne Kinu oi notei they have. A travelling man's best impressions or his worst impressions of a town and too often his worst impresions are received at the hotel at which he stops. If he is pleased with the hotel he neyer fails to talk the hotel and the town to other travelling men; if he is displeased he never fails to talk them that is talk against them. As a result of this the ! traveling men are always posted as to the hotels and give much good ! advertisement to the towns which have good hotels. Numbers of trav eling men go out of their way and go '' to extra expense in order to reach a 3-' town which has a good hotel in ! order that they may spend Sunday there. On the other hand, they shun towns which have bad hotels almost as they would small pox. And then, besides the advertise ment, it gives a town and the people it attracts to a town, a good hotel is a great local benefit. It is a 1 sreat convenience to those whose families are away and who want a nice place to stop at, and especially to the salesmen and others who are regular boarders. Some one has said that hotels are of three kinds, those run on the American plan,those run on the European plan, and those run on "no plan at all," from the kind last mentioned, may we especial ly be spared, and may every town which wishes to build up be spared. We mean no reflection on the hotels here as we know the excellent gentle men who run them try to please their guests, but their houses and sur roundings are not w-hat thev would wish. ' We hope our progress! ve and public spirited men will heed our advice and at once inaugurate a plan wThichwill insure to Oxford a good hotel. We would suggest the old Kingsbury homestead lot as a suitable location. It is conveniently suitable near the centre of 'the business part of town. We note with pleasure that Oxford is almost safr for another new and very important enterprise. The new railroad to connect Oxford with the great Seaboard system is now an assured fact, provided the town com missioners do their part and accept the offer made by the railroad. We are also glad that "the depots, both freight and passenger, are to be con veniently situated. The train will come directly up Hillsboro street, and the passenger depot will le at the Opera House. This will be a great convenience to ourpeople. Our other depot being at a distance has always been a source of much incon venience to us. Things are beginning to come our way of late, for so we are informed, as the matter now rests, it is with the town commissioners to say whether we have the road. By ac ceding to the railroad's offer they can secure the road without cost to the This will be a great step the town's advancement. In this let our "city fathers fail not." Attention Pensioners. Tko Pension Beard will meet July ist and nA -rmtinne in session until all busi- Artiu " ness in disposed of. All persons who make application for pension will have to be pre en o rwl cViriw nroofs. etc. All old pensioners will have to be present , re. otr-nmined and classified.

Cooper Thursday night. The horse of Dr. I. H. Davis was left standing alone Monday afternoon and run away breaking two wheels of the buggy. Naturally a tobacco trust that proposes to take in the entire world gives the quid nuncs something to talk about. The "Spinning Jenny" has done a good business since it struck Ox ford and must gobbled up about a barrel of nickles. "So he nailed the lie at last, eh? How?" "He nailed it by fastening it on somebody else." The aldermen of Hiekoryat their i roo-iilnr Tupfltlns- Tiipsda v refused t,n ! grant applications for liquor licenses by a vote of 4 to 2. A cotton duck trust floating on a $50,000,000 surface is the latest com bine. This duck is certainly sugges tive of nest-feathering.

"And to think," sighed Mr. Henry Peck, after a curtain lecture of three hours, "that it's the same woman whom It took me six months to make say just yes. Montreal papers tell of a Cana- dian who traded his wife for a dog, traded the dog for a shotgun, traded the shotgun for a keg of apple brandy and died of delirium tremens.

They declined to try his mule ship again. June smiles in her queenly beauty, her roses are blossoming and their exquisite fragrance drifts upon the breezes like gales from Araby. It is a delight to exist in such a month and amid so much that is cheerful and inspirational. We call special attention to the advertisement of the Francis Hilliard School. There will always be room in Oxford for a school for girls only, where each one can receive personal attention from such teachers as the Misses Hilliard's and their father.

Durham Sun says a rumor is cur rent that there will be a change in the schedule of the Oxford & Clarks ville road next Sunday. Whether this is so or not, wre no not know, for railroad men will talk but little, and you cannot pull information out of them, even with a derrick. But it is said that the O. & C. will leave here about the usual time and go through to Richmond. Returning it will come in about 2:15 and con nect with the afternoon train going to Raleigh. This would probably make it pass Oxford about 12:30 for Durham. Want Pictures old Veterans.

A photograph, ambrotype, tintype or daguerreotype will do. A. W. GRAHAM. Oxford Savings Bank. The attentiou of our numerous readers is directed to the advertise ment in this issue of the Oxford Sav ings Bank on the 4th page. Offi cered as it is by well-known business men who have been highly success ful in the conduct of another branch of banking, it needs no recommenda tion to the people of the townj;and county. That it will be managed saieiy auu wisely tnere can be no question; that its purpases will be & 1 "1 1 A 1 well served there is no doubt. Such an organization will fill a long-felt want in community and will furnish a safe place for deposits of money in amounts both large and small. Its place of business is in the Bank of Granville and solicits your deposits Jurors for July Term of Court The County Commissioners revised the Jury List at their last meeting and then drew the following jurors for July Term of Granville Su perior Court which will be only one week: E.

On Thursday, the 6th instant, the Angel of Death visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Burnett, near Ox ford, and bore the spirit of their boy, Hays Burnett, to its Heavenly home Little Hays was only 4 years old, but in the short time he had been given to them he had become the idol of his parents. All that the tenderest care could do was done for him, but the Heavenly Father needed one more little flower to blossom in the fields of Paradise, so little Hays closed his eyes and fell asleep. "We had dreamed our dreams of the coming man, Our prmid, high dreams; but they never led So high as heaven to which he has gone, Or stooped to that narrow bed; They were full of glory, untroubled by pain, Now God has the glory and our boy the gain." A Good Show. The Durham Herald of Wednesday morning says: There was a fairly good sized audience out to witness the performance of the "Perle Opera Company, which held the boards at the opera house last night. The show wTas a little out of season for this section and for that reason the crowd was not as large as it would otherwise have been. Those who went were amply re paid for their trouble and expense. It was a good, clean, laughable show and all spent a very pleasant even ing. The specialties were very good and the management had to refuse encores several times on account of the lateness of the hour. The audience was kept in a good humor throughout and during the second act there was a continuous roar of laughter. The evening's fun closed with acemedy. Mr. L. Perle, the manager of the opera, booked with Messrs. Hackney & Freeland to ret urn with a company next October. The reputation made last night will ensure a large crowd the next time.

GALLOPING GLANCES AT PROMINENT PEOPLE Short Review of Citizens Who Have Earned Distinction-Men who Make a Town. DR. S. H. CANNADY. Before entering upon the practice of his profession in Oxford Dr. S II. Cannady had recognized the necessi ty of thorough preparation for a call ing in which great strides of progress are being taken daily, and, after a college course, attended one of the leading medical institutions of the country. With the broad foundation afforded by a college course he began that specialization which is necessary in the study of all things in these days and times. A liberal practice has rewarded the thoroughness of his preparation and his skill nri knowledge as a physician. Dr. Cannady is a gentleman of fine presence and pleasing address. His family is an old and honored one in Granville county records and right worthily does he bear the burden thus cast upon him. From his father he inherits business ability and sa gacity of a high order, and these he has used to good advantage. Dr. Cannady, while by no means a sport ing man, is yet fond of good horses and drives the handsomest bay in the county. LONG BROTHERS. The prosperous and growing busi ness conducted by the Messrs. Long Brothers is excellent an exemplifi cation of what industry, energy and integrity can accomplish as one could find in a journey of many days. He who, starting with large means,adds to- them, deserves a large degree of credit; but they who, from meagre beginnings, attain to prosperity and substance by dint of faithfulness and energy, deserve a larger degree of credit. The Long Brothers began their careers in Oxford as clerks, and when the opportunity came to begin business as independent merchants they were prepared to breast the tide at the flood and be borne upon its bosom to fortune. Up-to-date bus! ness methods and a constant en deavor to minister to the wants of their customers have given them a hold on their good-will and patron age without which no success can be permanent. i-'ersonany, tnese gentlemen are courteous, affable and pleasing in manner and address. They know the value and necessity of progres siveness and are keenly alive to all matters pertaining to the town's interests. Z. W. LYON. Mr. Z. W. Lyon is known to his friends as a careful business man, hustling warehouseman, thoughtfu i .1 i in ms opinions anu a stauncn sup porter of whatever is proved to be good in business, politics and society, He rightly understand that construe tive principles are necessary for the upbuilding of private and public enterprises and that all tendencies of a destructive nature need careful watching and inspection. Mr. Lyon Is a large-hearted gentleman, discrim inating in his tastes and liberal in his views. His labors in business have been well rewarded and he may be truly said to be one of Oxford's most prominent and influential citizens He has improved his advantages to good effect and opportunity lias, with him, had significance. He iw positive in his views, though liberal withal, yields the proper deference to those of others and claims the same for himself. Though not os tentatiouw in his charities his purse is open to the worthy and ear his in clined to hear the call of the needy. S. A. FLEMING. All men to whom is entrusted the management of the people's affairs should be business men of an hi order. Honesty, industry and busi ness capacity are the prime requisites of public servants. Sheriff Fleming possesses these and, in the conduct of the responsible office which he fills, demonstrates their value and useful ness. In the hands of honest and in dustrious officials the public weal is safe. Sheriff Fleming is not a politi cian, but has earned his success through the thoroughness and merit of his work. As a man, he is genial, whole-souled, cordial in his greeting, of pleasing address and good manners. Impar tial in his treatment of all with whom the business of his office causes, him to deal none can, or desires to, com plain of his acts. He has selected ac ceptable deputies who are a credit to the department. Sheriff Fleming and family are a valuable addition to the town and have made during their residence a host of friends.
