"Take off Ycr Hat to Dat Whistle fur it Means more Business." There occurred a sound in Oxford Saturday afternoon which caused great great rejoicing among the peo ple it was the blowing of the Cot ton Mills whistle for the first time, and its coarse notes heralded to the people the continued prosperity of out- beautiful and grand old town. This factory will prove another big link in the chain of Oxford s pro gressive march, and Factory Hill in a few weeks will become a scene of activity and the home of many oper atives. ' The w ork of building a large fac tory and equlping it cannot be ac complished as soon as many or our people imagined and some become a little discouraged, but w7hen Presi dent John Hall blew the whistle Sat urday afternoon it was dispelled and their hearts leaped for joy. A few of our colored citizens were standing on the sidewalk talking and when the whistle biew one of them asked : "What strange whistle is dat?" An other one replied: "Dat am de cot ton factory whistle and yer all should take off j-er hats to dat w hi tie fur it means more business fur dis town." And he uttered a great truth. The editor had been away from home all the week and was truly glad that he returned in time to hear the coarse sound echo from the hill the first time, and it carried joy to our heart as we have worked hard for several years for the establishment of a cotton factory In Oxford. The factory and storage houses are being equiped with a modern system of waterworks and fire extinguishers and electric light plant. We hope the town authorities will make ar rangement with the Company for the lighting of the town and do away with anteciuated kerosene lamps. We know that President J G.Hall must have been greatly elated at the sound of the whistle too, as he has bent his every energy to the building and equipment oj this substantial enterprise and has proved himself a man of tact and ability. To our greatly esteemed friend we extend our Jisag"" in warmest congratulations. S-jgL,. B. Turner has a nice line of flooring, ceiling, and heart fencing, for sale. Nov. 14th. 4t.

AVe dare say no tobacco market in this section of thisStat has made as rapid advancement in the past three pears as that of Oxford, and more especially this year. .-er since the season opened tobacco has poured in not only from our ownicounty, but from Person, Durham, Vance, and Franklin counties, as Mfell as from Alecklenburg county, Va., causing sales every day and sometimes double sales. Of course this ha caused Ox ford to become the greatest market in this part of North Carolina, caus largely increased sales over previous vears. In many instances some of the Warehouses have average breaks as high as 19 cents rounds for every thing on the floor. Our warehousemen, Messrs. Bullock k Mitchell, Hunt & Meaf.ows, Z. . Lyon, Stark, Crews and Co. and S. W. Cooper, rank among the very best in the State and have the confi dence of the farmers of this section as they make it their business to ob tain the highest averages on all grades of tobacco sold on their floors. Their is an important factor which carries with it the essence of the suc cess of the market that of the best and most liberal corps of buyers that ever clustered along a row of tobacco. They are always hungry for the weed and do not hesitate to pay lor it. Bibles and Testaments, seethemat Stedinan's. Taylor-Cannady Buggy Co. This splendid manufacturing enter prise has closed another year of suc cessful business, and has declared a good dividend. This is, we take it the largest plant of the kind in the State and its success is marvelous. Some 2,050 buggies have been manu factured and sold, not counting wag ons, and the demand for the most excellent buggies increases daily so much so that it is necessities the int creasing of the capital stock of the enmpany. At a meeting of stockholders Fri day night the old Board of Directors war reelected along with the old of ficers which assures the continued success of the business. Itwasdecid ed to increase the capital stock to $50,000 in order to supply the demaads of the trade. Mr. Hillman Cannady of the Co. who has proved himself to be one of the most successful drum mers on wheels, will continue in that position as his services in that is one of the mainsprings to the success of the company. The Public Ledger warmly congratulates the Taylor Cannady Buggy Co. upon its success The best and prettiest stock of Christmas presents we have ever had at Stedman s. A Delightful Concert. The entertainment entitled, "Old Times and Old Time Folks in Dixie,' which wras given at the Opera House on last Friday evening was in every way a hi&h class performance. Miss Tucker is a typical Southern lady and her impersonations are from real lite as she has seen and experienced it Being a refined southern woman her acting is free from many of the stage ma nnerisms which are generally seen anions; im personators. She does not as some do, distort character and represent the old time negro a charac ter unlike any human being, but shows the real negro with his ignor ant superstitious, yet with a real hu mor and with a refinement which came from association with Southern whites. As an impersonatar sue is among the best we have seen,especi ally in impersonating the negro. Miss King-singer, the solo harpist who accompanies Mis Tucker, render ed deliuhtful music from the harp which was greatly enjoyed. We hope these ladies may again visit Oxford- If your chickens are troubled with lice call at this office and get can of "Lee's Lice Killer" and relievt your fowls.

Barlow & Wilson's Minstrels wil appear in Oxford on Jan. 4th 1902 1 hev have two bands and travel n two cars. This is one of the strong est minstrel on the road. Read th following press notice: "Barlow and Wilson's Minstrel made their annual appearance las evening at Powers' Opera House ti an excellent house. Itisafact worthy of notice, that each successive trip of this famous organization vacait down stairs seats have been few aid far between. It follows that an t- traction able to fill that portion of the theatre is one of intransic merit. The musical portion was particularly strong. The ballads of James Bar ardi, James Leonard and Joseph Mc Grath were pretty renditions The monologue work of Barlow ard Wil son was very funny, while the popu lar Conroy and Murry met with an ovation that must have been exceed ingly pleasant to those favorit; com medians. Taken altogether tie Bar low and Wilson show far sursirpas ses the usual minstrel attracton. Grand Rapids Daily Demoerat.

The Kilgo Appeal to Supreme.; The attorneys for the defendants in the Gattls-Kilgo libel suit, In which the jury awarded the plaintiff $J5,000 damages, are preparing their appeal to the Supreme Court. One of - the ground for appeal is that the court refused to Instruct the jury that there was no evidence of malice; another is that incompetent evidence was al lowed; a third reason was the judge's charge throughout especially the part in which he told the jury that if Dr. Ivilgo and Mr. Duke withdrew their patronage from Gattis after the publication of the alleged libel this could be regarded as evidence tend Ing to show malice. The defendants had regarded this case as virtually decided by the Supreme Court last year and now they hope to get a de cision which will take the case out of court, and we believe they will do it as Republicans stick mighty close togetner.
