A SEA OF TOBACCO.
Oxford Full of Tobacco Last WeekFriday
was Crowning Break of Years.
There is no discount on the Oxford
market this year, as more tobacco is
being sold here than ever before. It
is given up to be the best market in
this section of the State as the high
averages reached on our five ware
house floors for all grades tell the
story, and the weed pours in daily
from this and adjoining counties.
Prices are wTell maintained on all
grades in good order and eagerly
sought after by our liberal buyers
who never cry enough as they all
have veay large orders that must be
filled which accounts for the sharp
competition on our market, which is
beneficial to the farmer.
Friday was the greatest day in
Oxford for years as a 6ea of tobacco
rolled into town from every direction
and hundreds of wagons crowded
our streets, and every a vailable space
on our Five Warehouse floors was
full with wagons to be unloaded. Al
though double sales were run many
loads were left over until the next
day. Over 200,000 pounds was
market that day, and during the
week 500,000- lbs was marketed and
our splendid banks shelled out some
$40,000.
On Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week there were large breaks
also and the cry is, still it comes
as prices have an upward tendency.
Our warehousemen cannot be ex
celled by any in the trade as they are
thoroughly reliable, painstaking, us
ing every effort to reach the cream of
the market on grades of tobacco.
Better Than Bread Cast upon the Waters.
The establishment of the Graded
School in Oxford is better than
"bread cast upon the waters," for
bread cast upon the waters is found
after many days, while the good ef
fects of the Graded School have al
ready been found. This school, un
der the judicious management of our
esteemed and cnltured friend, Prof. H.
P. Hardiug, is already in a prosper
ous condition and is meeting the ed
ucational demands of the town bet
ter than any other school possibly
could.
The attendance is large and the
work done is highly satisfactory to
the friends and patrons of the school.
And the school is doing more than
to educote the children of the town.
It is infusing more life into the town
and is having a good effect upon
other interests of the town. The
population of Oxford is rapidly in
creasing by new families moving into
the town. What is the cause which
produced this effect? Simply this,
that the parents see that by moving
to Oxford they can get their children
educated in the Graded School, which
is just the result predicted by the edi
tor of the Public Ledger.
There is a general business revival
in Oxford and several new enter
prises are soon to be established here,
a full write-up of which we will give
our readers in a few weeks.
But the pressing need of the hour
is still not established an up-to-date
hotel. That is one of the things
which Oxford must have if the town
is to continue her tidal wave of pros
perity. Wrc must have a good hotel.
Who will be the first man to put on
foot this enterprise?
Death of Mr. Willie Biggs.
Our community is called upon to
mourn the loss of a young man well
known and highly esteemed in Ox
ford in the death of Mr. Willie Biggs,
which occurred at Raleigh Tuesday
morning last. Mr. Biggs has been
afflicted for several years, but was a
patient sufferer. His remains arrived
in Oxford Tuesday evening and were
taken to the home of his grand moth
er, Mr. Lucy Cooper, by undertaker
J. S. Hall. They were accompanied
by Mr. and Mr. W. H. White, his sis
ters, Misses Lulieand J ennette Biggs,
of Raleigh, and his brother, Mr. J.
Crawford Biggs, of Durham.
The funeral services were held at
the Presbyterian church Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock conducted by
his former pastor in Oxford, the Rev.
J. E. Thacker, now of Norfolk, Va.,
assisted by Rev. John E. Wool, and
Avere attended by a large concourse
of sorrowing relatives and friends.
The interment was in Elmwood Cem
etery. He was son of the late Capt. Wm.
Biggs and grandson of the late J. C.
Cooper, and was a devoted member
of the Presbyterian church and al
ways took a deep interest in what
ever pertained to the welfare of his
church. He was about 30 years of
age He has a number of relatives
in Oxford and many admiring friends
who deeply sympathize with the
family of the deceased in their sad
bereavement.
The Public Ledger extends most
sincere sympathies.

GALLOPING GLANCES
AT PROMINENT PEOPLE.
Short Review of Citizens Who Have Earned
Distinction-Men who Make a Town.
WALTER STARK.
The importance of the tobacco in
dustry has been often pointed out in
these columns and it is well known
that those who are engaged in build
ing up and supporting this branch of
business are among our most useful
citizens. Lately there has come in to
our midst a new man in the business
inOxford,but onewThohas had many
years of experience elsewhere. An in
fusion of new blood is always a good
thing, whether it be in the human
body, or, figuratively, in channels of
industry. Thus the coming of Mr.
Stark is a good thing for tobacco and
for the trade and the farmers who
entrust their interest to the men who
conduct the warehouses. Mr. Stark
has, certainly for the greater part of
his life, devoted himself to a study of
the best manner of conducting a
warehouse and his success elsewhere
Indicates that his study has yielded
good results. He has a large circle
of acquaintances throughout this
territory to whom he is well known
and' whom he is respected and liked.
His manners are such as to win him
friends and his business methods
commend him to the trade.
The Public Ledger has already ex
tended him the glad hand and takes
this opportunity to again welcome
Mr. Stark and family to the town.
W. T. LYON.
Probably one of the best known
men in the county is Mr. W. T. Lyon.
He has been identified with the life
both of the town and community al
most uninterruptedly for many years
and has been honored with offices
none very lucrative, to be sure of
importance and responsibilty. He is
a gentleman of considerable scholar
ship and all matters educational
and tending to general culture ap
peal to him strongly. Mr. Lyon is
regarded as a solid man, a man of
conservative strength and one not
apt to yield to the impulses of the
moment to the sacrifice of more far
reaching and less apparent ends. He
is a student and is never so happy as
when puzzling or having some one
else puzzled over some mathematical
or other attractive problem.
Mr. Lyon conducts a prosperous
insurance business which his popu
larity and ability are causing to grow
day by day.
FRANK P. HODGOOD, JR.
The subject of this sketch is too
well and favorably known in this
section of the State to need commen
dation at our hands. Though one
of the younger members of the Ox
ford bar, he has already attained
prominence at this bar which is justly
claimed to be one of the ablest bars
in the State, having among its mem
bers several men who are distinguish
ed far and wide for their knowledge
of the law as well as for their scholar
ly attainments.
Col. Hobgood entered the profes
sion of the law well prepared
Besides possessing much natural
ability and special aptitude for his
chosen profession, he entered the
practice well trained by a thorough
collegiate and post-collegiate eduea
tion. After graduating at Wake
Forest College with high honors he
taught school for awhile at Ashevllle
after which he entered Columbian
University at Washington, D. C,
where he took a thorough course in
law at this famous institution, at
the same time holding a professor
ship in the University while he read
law, which was a great honor for a
young man just after graduation.
After completing his law course he
returned to Oxford and associated
himself in the practice with Gen. B.
Royster, the firm since being Royster
& Hobgood. This firm now enjoys
a very lucrative practice in Granville
and adjoining counties.
For two years Col. Hobgood was
Inspector General of the State Guard
with the rank of colonel, which posi
tion he filled with much efficiency and
with great credit to himself and to
the State Guard.
Col. Hobgood is not only an excel
lent lawyer, but is a man of broad
culture. He is possessed of fine liter
ary taste and is well read in the best
literature, and especially in the clas
sics. As a speaker he is forcible and
eloquent; as a writer he is gifted, his
style being strong, but at the same
time elegant and chaste.
Personally Colonel Hobgood is pop
ular and has a large number of friends
all over the State. While never friv
ilous and possessed of dignity of the
true ring.he is thoroughly approach
able and is genial in manner.
He is a young man of whom Ox
ford and Granville is proud and one
who has a bright future before him.
PETE BULLOCK.
There is an old saying that "money
makes the mare go." There is such
a thing as lost lalor, and the work
of the mare is going to be lost unless
she is properly provided with "horse
millinery." In these latter dajs of
specialization a horse milliner, in or
der to measure up to the times, must
be an expert and must keep his eye
open, not only to matters of utility
in horse fittings, but must also keep
one upon beauty and appearance.
The combination of these qualities,
seemliness and usefulness, is what
separates the specialist from the or
dinary. The subject of this sketch is an ex
pert harness maker and a useful
member of the community. He at
tends strictly to his own business
and succeeds in it admirably and is,
withal, a kind-hearted, clever gentle
man. L. B. TURNER.
The "cooper's" work is always a
necssarv one in a town, and in a
town like Oxford, where the prevail
ing business is the tobacco trade, his
services are more than ordina
rily requireu. ine tnousands o
hocsheads which leave us every
year laden with the precious weed
are the products of the subject of
this sketch and others, who, like him,
re engaged in this business. The
large patronage which Mr. Turner
enjoys speaks eloquently of the grade
of work done by him. His business
dealings are conducted on proper
principles.
Mr. Turner is himself a "heavy
weight" physically and is quiet and
modest in his manners and upright
and courteous in his business deal
ings.
Statement of the First National Bank of
Oxford.
In another part of this paper ap
pears a full statement from the First
National Bank of Oxford. From this
statement our readers can learn how
every deposit is protected under the
National banking system. The Na
tional banking law requires that
such statesment must be shown and
there must be sufficient resources to
meet every cent of the Bank's obli
gations. Depositors are afforded not
only the protection of an able man
agement and of the personal respon
sibility of the honest and reliable of
ficials of this institution, which
would be ample protection, but they
are given full protection by the Uni
ted States Government.
This is the highest protection which
could possibly be given tnem. Our
people appreciate these advantages
and show their appreciation by a
liberal patronage to this institution.
Continued success to the First Na
tional Bank of Oxford !
Our readers will remember that
this bank commenced business July
16th of- this year. We believe that
no bank in the country can show a
better statement in so short a time.
This has just received $12,000 in
their own currency from the United
States Treasury. Remember the im
portant fact that. this Bank pays 4
per cent, interest on time deposits.
