THE GRADED SCHOOL OPENED. 200 Bright and Happy Children in At tendance. AVe are glad to note that the Gra ded School opened Monday under very flattering prospects. There were 200 children in attendance on opening day To the editor it was indeed a delightful sight to see the bright boys and sweet girls, whom we love and whose cause we have always espous ed, enter the school so joyfully. It means much for Oxford that these boys and girls are to have such a school, for these are our jewels. It means much for any town and any people that the children are to be ed ucated. This school is not alone for the favored who would be educated without it, but for the masses com prising all classes rich and poor, for tunate and unfortunate. Professor Harding enters upon his work well prepared and well equip ped for its successful prosecution. And he enters upon his duties with a, determinatiou and a joy which char acterize a man who is devoted to his ifework and enters it with his whole life and soul. The assignments of teachers to the different grades were as follows: First Grade, Mrs. A. A. Hicks; Sec ond Grade, Mrs. Kate Hays Fleming, Third Grade, Miss Sarah Daniel; Fourth and Fifth Grades, Mrs. James Paris; Sixth and Seventh Grades, Miss Mabel Royster. Professor Harding is hard at work and will carefully grade the school and will put forward every effort to insure its nignest success. The as signment of teachers has been with a view to give to each grade a teacher who has special skill in her particu lar department. With the earnest co-operation of our very emcient trustees ana. the able corps of teachers, along with the encouragement of the parents, we bespeak for Prof. Harding and the school success from the very start Opera House Tuesday Night, Sept. 24th. The Clivette Company will enter tain the Oxford people with feats of Magic and other specialties. The Great Clivette supported by his fa mous company of European enter tainers, will hold the boards at the Opera House, Tuesday night, Sept. 24th. The Great Clivett is said to be without a aouot the leading magi cian of the world, having appeared in every country under the sun at the head of his own company and this will be his first visit to our town. This is not a so-called one man show as has been the custom of all other magicians who have ap peared here, but a fully equipped company of the world's leading magical stars, including "Clivette, the King of Magicans'!. The scenery and paraphernalia used by this com pany are said to be worth $30,000, and costumes of each and every mem ber of the aggregation are gorgeous Seats on sale at Hancock's drug store Monday morning. To Patrons of Graded School. A scarcity of seats compelled us to forego the pleasure of having the pa rents meet with the children when school opened last Monday. Just as soon as a shipment of iurniture can reach us we shall extend an invita tion to all that are interested to visit the school. As there are some things relative to the grading of the children that the parents ought to under stand, this opportunity is taken to reach them at once. In grading children of a new school of this kind it is often the case that some are found to be a little in ad vance of the prescribed course for a grade in one thing and a little behind in another. To illustrate: a child may read a little better than the average member of his grade but may be a little deficient in the arithmetic or grammar course. In a case of this kind of course it is better that the child should not have to spend too much time in preparing his reading course in order that he may have more time to prepare the arith metic, or grammar, in wmcn he is somewhat behind. Whenever such cases occur we shall be careful to take everything into consideration and do what in our opinion is best for the child. So whenever a child mav seem to be graded too low we ask that an investigation be made to find out if there is not some reason such as the one stated above. It will be the pleasure of the Superintentent or any Teacher of the school to give anv information of this kind that may be desired, and to confer with the parents at all times about the prog ress of their children.

The Shinnston, West Va., News. In Memory ot President MeKinley. A mass meeting of the citizens of the town was called to meet at the Court House on last Saturday after noon at 4:30 o'clock in memory of our lamented President. Mr. A. A. Hicks was made Chairman and Mr. H. M. Shaw Secretary. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. A. McCullen. Speeches were made by Gen. B. S. Royster, A. A. Hicks, W. H. Harrison, Col. F. P. Hobgood Jr. and Rev. F. W. Hilliard. The following resolutions were adopted: History tells us that the army of Richmond sang a song to God on Bosworth's field, and with loudest acclamations proclamed him Henry VII, king of England. That auspicious day put an end to the civil wars between the houses of York and Lancaster. And when our good ship Maine and her gallant crew went to the bottom of Havana harbor by the hand of an enemy it was William McKinley, our country's head, who called to arms an indienant nation to avensre our loss, and to save from the iron heel of a monarch's power the lives and liberties of a neighboring people. And that auspicious day, under his wise and patriotic guidance, put an end to all sectional lines of North and South, and united a patriotic Nation great and glorious, under one flag, "The Star Spangled Banner." To-dav we have assembled for another purpose to join as a united Nation, and with one voice, but to deplore the loss of William McKinley our a88issinatea i-resiaent. And Whereas, the people of Oxford and GranvilleConnty desire to express their sympathies for the bereaved widow, and to deplore the Nation's loss in his death, and to enter our solemn protest against the cause thereof. Therefor be it. Resolved, 1. That we feel that the entire Nation, and the whole civilized world, has lost the first statesman of this age in his death. Resolved. 2. That in his home-life and Dublic virtues we have exempli fied the highest type of American citizenship. Resolved, 3. That we unite in the sympathy of an entire country for the faithful wife and sorrow-stricken widow. Never Left the Road.

I had a heap er ups and downs, spe cially downs, since I j'ined de church. I stole chickens and watermillins, I cussed, I got drunk, I shot crap, I slashed odder coons wid my razor, and I done er sight er odder things; but, t'ank the good Lawd, bredderin and sisterin, I never yet lost my re ligion!" Blue Ridge, Ga., Post. Wei! Deserved Promotion, Mr.E. G. Currin, son of our esteemed townsman, J. M. Currin, Esq., who has been a trusted and very success ful buyer for the American Tobacco Company for a number of years, has been promoted by his company and will leave next week, accompanied by his interesting family, for Austra lia to fill an important position. Mr. Currin is an excellent business man as well as a cultivated gentleman, and the editor regrets to lose him from his native State, but wish for him all the success abroad to which his ability and standing entitles him. It does our heart good to note the success of our youna: men.
