" "J REMOVAL OF OLD LANDMARK. The Ancient St. Stephens' Church Torn Down and Removed. The old St. Stephens' Episcopal church building which wa?. purchas ed by ex-Judge A. W. Graham has been torn down and removed, and is to be used for another purpose. The removal of this old landmark recalls many sacred memories of the past some of them very sad and some very bright and joyous. For three quarters of a century and more has the Episcopal congregation wor shiped in this building, going back to near the time of Its establishment. During these years many and strange have been the changes which have come over, tne cnurcn ana its pas tors, but today we are glad to say that the church is increasing in mem bers and that it is in a prosperous condition. Numbers 1 of ministers some of them men of distinction have come and gone. Most of them have passed into the great beyond and numbered with the Saints in glory. Amid its struggles and its triumphs none have been so useful in its mem bership as its true and loyal women. Of these we might mention a large number but there are four who have done such a great work in their church that they are worthy of spe cial mention. We refer to Mesdames H. Horner, Sarah Hall, K. B. Las- siter and M. H. Gilliam. To them and to the other consecrated women ofthe church Is due the praise for the great work- the church has done. The eaitor, along with numerous other people of Oxford, is bound with tenderest ties of affection to the old church, for it wras there that the event which has brought so much of happiness to our life was solemn izea. iviany oxners nave tne same feelings towards the old cnurch which we have. Many others have here been lead to the sacred altar and have heard the words which made their lives one, and many others, alas I have here heard the last sad words over the remains of those whose life had been to them more than all the world beside. But from the remains of the old has arisen the beautiful new brownstone church, which is the pride of the con gregation and an ornament to the town. The congregation belonging to this church, and particularly the good and zealous ladies, are to be congratulated upon the completion of such a house of worship. May the new church continue in usefulness and helpfulness to the world follow in the path of the old Under the guidance of its present con secrated Rector, the Rev. R. B. Owens, the church may confidently look for the prosperity which has character ized it since he entered upon its pas torate. He is young, vigorous and active in the Master's work. He has numerous friends in Oxford who wish for him great success. Long may he remain the rector of St. Stephen's Superintendent J, Y. Joyner Coming. We are very glad to learn from the clever Superintendent Connor, of our Graded School that State Superin tendent of Public Instruction J. Y, J oy ner has accepted an invitation to visit Oxford and make an address to our people at the close of the Graded School on May 0th. We congratu late the school on having obtained Mr. Joyner's consent to come and feel sure that the Oxford people will have a great treat in store. Mr. J oy ner is an old friend of the editor and glad that he said in his letter of ac ceptance that he is much interested in the school work in Oxford and is glad to have the opportunity to speak a word of encouragement to our people. We bespeak for him a hearty wel come and predict that he will have an enthusiastic and appreciative au dience. Two Death Near Berea. Mrs. Parthenia Williford, the old est lady of the" Berea section, died on Monday in the 83rd year of her age She was a noble christian woman, and had reared a noble family, and lived to see all her children grown She was loved and honored by all her neighbors and friends as she pos sessed a sympathetic heart and ever ready to perform a kind deed. She was a devout member of the Primi- tive Baptist Chnrch, zealous in good works and when the spirit left the bodv it must have triumphantly en- tArpri the a-ates of the Beautiful Citv of our God. "Blessed are they who die in the Lord." Our sympathies go out to the bereaved ones. The bu- T-ini tnok tilace vesterdav afternoon at home place witnessed by a large concourse of grief stricken relatives and friends. It is indeed sad to announce the death of a young lady in the bloom of vouth. as In the case of Miss Lula, daughter of Mr. and Mr. J. B. Adcock near Berea. She passed be neath the shadows Monday after a vears illness with consumption. She was 20 years of age and a member of the Presbyterian Church. She was so gentle and kind everybody that knew her loved her. A short time before she died she called the loved ones around her bedside and caimiy ones around her bedside and calmly Mrt oQPh rnti tnrpwpM Rflvins1 sn whs bid each one farewell, saying she was readTi and wilTing to die, and In a rvw .v c - r oondolenca to the crief-strlcken i v v THE GRADED SCHOOL LIBRARY. Join the Movement to Aid in a Grand and and Elevating Work. The work that has been begun to establish a Graded School Library is beginning to bear fruit. A room has been set apart at the school for the Library and the teachers and chil dren are at work making its appear ance attractive. The pupils of the school have raised by subscription money for the framing of ten or 12 handsome library pictures; they have raised monej-for shades and curtains for the windows and have presented ( to the library a pretty oak table. A book case has been made for It, and already some fifty or seventy books have been collected. Besides these through the exertions and interest of Dr. T. L. Booth a subscription has been raised among the patrons of the school and between forty and fifty of the standard books have been order ed. Dr. Booth has likewise presented the library with a valuable Encylo paedia, and Mr. Crawford Cooper has presented a complete set of Dicken's novels. Others have likewise made contributions too numerous to men tion. These earnest efforts are much ap-1 predated by the school authorities who are making, along with the able and progressive Superintendent, every effort to bring within the reach of the children of Oxford the best English and American litera ture. It is to be hoped that others will join in the work for it is such a work as will rebound to the good of eyery man, woman and child in Oxford. One friend of the Graded School has informed us that he will be one of 20 men to give $5 each to raise a $100 fund for this good work. Will not the others be forthcoming ? MURDER IN FiRST DEGREE. The Verdict in the Wilcox-Cropsey Murder Case. Elizabeth City N. C, March 22. James Wilcox was tonight found guilty of the murder of Nellie Cropsey. The jury, after" having been out thirty hours, brought in a verdict at 10:30 o'clock of murder In the first degree, The prisoner heard the verdict with out apparent emotion When the verdict had been received Judge Jones said: 'It Is sadder to me than you, Mr. Wilcox. The jury found the facts, I gave the law. You have had a fair trial. Part of the public were afraid to give it to you. I am informed that the movement in the court house here Friday when a crowd marched out was pre-arranged. I hope such was not the case. If it was true and the offenders were brought before me I would send every man, woman and child to jail for contempt, . If the move was for a purpose it was a dis grace to the fair name of the county I hope it did not influence you gentle men in the least, "Th judgment of the court Is that the prisoner be removed to jail and be hanged dead by the neck on April 25th." Lawyer Ay dlett for the defense will appeal to the supreme court. At 1:15 o'clock this afternoon the jury came into court and asked for further instructions. The judge re iterated his former charge, telling the jury the finding of the facts was with them. He could give the law only. The jury then retired for fur ther consultation. There were many expressions of im patience at the tardiness of the jury Popular feeling was strong and it was feared that a verdict of acquittal would precipate trouble North Carolina Week.

Holy Saturday commemorates the day Christ spent in the tomb, and then comes Easter, glad, joyful Easter! All the world sings and rejoices that by His great suffering and His miraculous triumph over death man- kind Is emancipated from eternal death it was the greatest victory and the greatest triumph the world has ever known, and it was a victory and a I triumph in which the lowliest of man kjn(i can participate as a beneficiary says a writer. Few there be who doubt this story, while doubting or entirely disbeliev ing all the rest of the Bible, for it is inherent In mankind to feel the need of a saviour, and where can one be found more strong and lovely, more efficacious and sure? It Is meet that this commemora tive day should come in spring time; when all nature is rising from the dead and taking on new life. It is meet that all should don bright new clothes if we do not confine our celebration to that and with light and joyous hearts feast and be merry for we are saved from death because 'Chriit Is risen indeed!"
