The front of Odd Fellows Build inp; is being repainted. A new front fence has been put up at the Hilliard school. Mr. S. W.

The Masons held their regular communication Monday night. -The elegant new residence of ex- Judge Graham is rapidly being com pleted. -Mr. R. S.

In the case of Harris vs Woodard from Granville the Supreme Court decides that there was no error in the judgement of the court below. We direct attention to the execu tors notice of E. N. and M. K.

College last week. Mr. B. F. Cooke, a "Commercial Democrats", relieves Mrs. C. D. Britt as postmaster at Franklinton. We are pleased to learn that Mrs Julia Minor, who has been quite sick for several days, is improving. He that ignoreth the Oxford Pub- lie Ledeer need not expect any free advertising through its columns. A well has been dug at the new Methodist church to keep the water from rising in the furnace basement -A search warrant will have to be gotten out for that 30,000 hotel that was talked about some weeks ago. The Question is being asked : "Has the Town Commissioners abandoned nil imnrovements for the next two years?" -There is some talk of the Osborn House being remodeled ana many improvements added. It is certainly badly needed. If The Town Commissioners will not do anythingelse it is to be hoped thev will sand some of the sidewalks to keep the people from slipping when it rains, Rev. F. W.

The educational edition of the News and Observer of Wednesday was a regular hummer, and the best of the kind ever issued in North Carolina, We were pleased to see that the Oxford Graded School was represent ed through its very capable Superln-, tendent, Prof. R D. W. Connor. Tuesday afternoon Mr. Alf Hob good, Coroner of Granville county, was taken suddenly ill, and but little hopes are entertained for his recovery. As we go to press this afternoon he is uneconcious. It is thought he is suf fering with heart disease. We hope and trust he may recover. If you toot your little tooter and then lay aside your horn, there's not a soul in ten short days will know that you were born: the man who ignores his town paper and the other business interests is the man who don't care a cuss for his town so he swims, but sometimes will run amuck. More new-buggies were sold in Ox ford in May to local trade in the his tory of the town. The Taylor-Can- nady Buggy Co. alone sold 53, eleven of which rolled out on Saturday. We do not know how many theParham Bro. Co. sold, but enjoyed a good trade. Our people certainly believe in riding in new buggies. The Woman's Literary Club held Its last meeting for the season at the residence of Mr. J. M. Currin Tuesday afternoon and were admirably enter tained by Miss JNelle currin. It was woman's afternoon and excellent and well prepared papers and sketches were read by Mrs. Kate Hays Flem ing, Mrs. Candace Emmett, Mrs. C. D. Ray, Misses Hobgood and Gra ham. Old Teachers Elected. The Board of Trustees of the Graded School at a meeting one day last week re-elected Rev. Walter Pat- tillo principal of the Colored Graded School, along with the same teachers I for the coming year. Asa number of our colored people claim that it is I being run as a sectarian school and for the sake of harmony we were certainly in hopes the Boara would have the different churches represent ed in the faculty, even if they selected them out of the county as not a single member of the faculty live in the coporation. Cannot Down an Oxford Boy. There is another bright boy in Ox ford who deserves special mention and that is Master Louis Taylor,son of Mr. Thomas G. Taylor, who lives near town. In the declarers' con test at commencement last week he was successful in carrying away the declaimers medal. Louis was one of the youngest of the contestants and the winning of this nice gold medal. especially for ones of his years, is hierhlv creditable. He is one of the brighest boys we know and we learn with pleasure of his success. The Commencement Season Over. The commencement season closed hn nvfnrd Fridn v nifrht, wflHA. invoiis time for our young people as well as fho visitors. 1 1 was a e-ala week for our girls and young gallants, and we were glad to see them enjoy it so well. Commencement season always brfngs its mixture oi pleasure and sadness, however. The social pleas ures of the dance, the receptions and other gatherings of our young peo- yet the parting and sad good-byes of K , , 1 , & , , . ? . school-mates and friends is always unpleasant. The Reward of Merit. We were much pleased to learn that our bright little friend, Master A. W Graham, won the scholarship medal for the session just closed. It was awarded him as the result of talent and industry. He has maintained a hisrh standard and is at the same time one of the most popular boys in school, being well behaved and kind and gentle in manners. For his years he is well advanced and the indica tions are that the future holds much of promise for him. We are a great admirer of our little friend and may he continue to hold the high place he has taken at school and to command the esteem of his friends, and become an honor to his parents and to his State. Delightful Musical Entertainment. Monday evening at 8:30 the pupils of Mrs. John B. Booth's School of Alusic afforded to the patrons and a few friends another delightful occa sion. The program was tastefully ar ranged and admirably executed, giv- ing pleasing variety throughout, Solos, duets and trios evincing close study of time and Intelligent interpre tation of pure classical composition were well rendered. Miss Usry's Instrumental numbers were simply faultless, reflecting faith f ul teaching and practice. The sonars of Miss Steed and Mr. Oscar Hawley were greatly enjoyed by the audience and much to our re- I . e-ret too nrecious to respond to oft gret too precious to respond to repeated encores.

A Number of Speeches Made, and Some Interest Taken in Good Roads. The Good Roads meeting in the Court House Monday at 2 o'clock was well attended. Mr. Hanes, President of State Good Road Association, and Capt. S. B. Alexander, of Charlotte, who were booked to speak on the occasion "missed connection" and did not reach here, much to the re gret of many of our people who came to hear them. President R. W. Hobgood made the opening speech which was full of good sense and practical advice to our people on the good roads ques tions. The speech aroused much en thusiasm. Messrs. J. H. Gooch, D. N. Hunt, Rev. J- A. Stradley and Judge Gra ham also spoke. Judge Graham made a speech of some length which aroused much enthusiasm. He poke of the importance of good roads and what they have done for other sec tions, and of the deplorable condition of the roads of Granville county. Judge Graham said that we were all agreed as to our need of good roads and also as to our support of some movement to obtain them, but that there was difference of opinion as to how we were to secure them. Me said that he had given the subject very careful study and had compared the various plans for road improve ment advocated and that he had come to the conclusion that the most effective, most economical and quick est plan to secure good roads was the bond system. In the above opinion we believe the Judge Is right. In our opinion it is the only WAYby which we can have good roads as we have tried other plans and they have all failed In Judge Graham's speech he ex pressed himself as pleased with the interest the country people weretak mg in the movement, but expressed surprise and regret that so few people in Oxford were present at the meet- ing, Surely the people of Oxford should be interested in the movement. We should wake up to the great impor tance of this movement and join hands with Judge Graham and our country friends to change in our roads. bring about a Meeting of Magistrates Monday. The Magistrates of Granville j sembled in the Court House on M day for the purpose of electing a Board of County Commissioners for the next term and levying the taxes Mr. B. F. Hester was made chair- main with Mr. John Mayes as Secre tary. The roll was called and some 60 magistrates were found to be pres ent and ready for business. After settling the tax question our friend Glaude Allen started the baL to rolling by making a ringing speech nominating Len. H. Moss, Esq., of Brassfield. for Commissioner. After balloting it was found that Mr. Moss was elected. Several others gentle men, among them juessrs. iv. vv. rlob I arood and D. T. Winston, not on the old Board, were placed In nomma tion and received flattering votes but with the exception of Mr. E. C Harris, who makes an excellent ofti cer, the oia lioaru were an re-eiectea Mr. Harris was displaced and Mr Moss, who has acceptably served as Commissioner before, was elected in his stead. In presenting the name of Mr. Moss Mr. Allen urged the point, that, in the election of commissioners or other officers every section should, as near as possible, be represented, and as Mr Moss' section was not represented he should be elected. As we said before Mr. Moss has served on the Board and made an excellent commissioner and no better selection could have been made. Mr. Harris will retire the first Mon day In December conscious of the fact that he has done his county and peo nle erood service. He was not dis placed because of any dissatisfaction but for the reason above stated. The Board as now constituted is astrong and popular one. The other business transacted by the Magistrates was the levying of taxes. The rate was not changed except that the 10 cents extra tax levied last. year to build bridges and to Day expenses of smallpox, was dropped. The work of the Magistrates was tranacted with dispatch and was well done. It is said that a handsome bible on the center table will not keep the devil out of the home. A number of counties during the past week Instructed for Judge Clark for Chief Justice of Supreme Court. The United States Supreme Court orders stricken from the records the papers in the case of Wilkes county vs W. N. Railroad because of reflec tions on Judge Boyd.

The Talented Dr. Benj. K. Hays and the Pretty Miss Annie de Lacroix Made One. A beautiful June wedding took place on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Louis de Lacroix, near Ox ford, the contracting parties being the talented Dr. Benj. K. Hays and the pretty Miss Annie de Lacroix. The drawing room had been beauti fully decorated with ferns, cut flow ers, and presented a scene of loveli ness seldom seen in our section. Exactly at the appointed hour the groom entered from the library lean ing on the arm of his best man, Mr. Sidney W. Minor, and from the hall entrance came the bride leaning on the arm of her life-long friend and companion, Miss Martha Fredrick son. They met at the altar, and there in the midst of their relatives and a few Invited friends Rev. R. B. Owens performed the ceremony that maue inem one. i ne scene was one of rareloveliness.and all present pro nounced it one of the most beautiful and impressive ceremonies they had ever witnessed. Immediately after its conclusion the happy couple turned to receive the congratulations of their friends, and right royally were they shower ed upon them. For the next thirty minutes the guests mingled with thej relatives oi Liie unue ana groom ana) all present enjoyed the informal re- ception given them, during which time light refreshments were served, after which the entire bridal party drove the depot, where amidst a shower of rice and a still larger shower of warm friendship and well wishes the blushing bride and happy groom left for a Northern tour. The bride is the pretty and accom plished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis de Lacroix, who moved to our section some years ago. Their names are synouonious with hospitality. and all who have had the pleasure of entering their home admit the gra cious charm of the same. Since mov- ng here they have been active in pub lic and private life, taking an earnest Interest in everything tending to wards the upbuilding and advance ment of our community and have been prominently identified with Church work. Born at Newberryport, among the rugged hills of Massachusetsjjrought here at a tender age and reared in a town famous for its learning, culture and refinement, the bride combines in a wonderful way the Northern strength and force of character with a beauty and a grace that has made the South famous. She was hand soinely attired in a beautiful gown of white batiste with silk applique and carried American Beauty roses The groom is the youngest son of that great and good man, the late John W. Hays, and stands six feet high, handsome in appearance and with a dignity characteristic of his family. He was educated in Virginia and received his diploma at the Virginia College of Medicine years ago and for two years was resident physi cians in St. Luke's Hospital at Klch- mond. Here he was under the im mediate instruction of that master in his art, Dr. Hunter McGuire. On account of the valuable experience gained here when he came home he at once took his place among the leaders of his profession, and ever since has; been enjoying a growing and lucrative practice. In his surgical work he stands sec ond to none in this section of the State, The editor oins their numerous friends in wishing them all the hap piness and pleasures this life can af ford.

Elizabeth Wortham, Sallie and Nancy McGhee were placed on outside pauper list at f 1 each per month. There are several new road ietl tions awaiting action at next meet ing, at which time we hope many pe titions will be presented strongly urging the Board to take steps to have better roads in the county.

A PRONOUNCED SUCCESS. The Oxford Cotton Mills one of the Finest Equipped in the State. We are much gratified at the steady march of advancement at the otton Mills in Oxford. We had the pleasure of being; shown throueh this maernificent Mill a few days ago. It is certainly one of the best equipped and best conducted Mills in the State. It is filled up with the best and most modern machinery and has every modern water and fire appliance, electric alarms and a large reser voir. The Mill turns out the best cotton varn and we are glad to learn it is hnding a ready sale. It is now running: on full time with a regular pay roll of 75 operatives, The output is now three to four car loads shipped weekly. The factory owns its own electric lights. The cottages for the operatives are among the most comfortable and attractive we have ever seen. Those who go to the Oxford Cotton Mills to work will find nice homes with clean, ajry surroundings. In order that the Alili may run its fu.l capacity there is at present need for quite a number of operatives, which we suppose the manager will have no trouble in securing in view of the good accomoda ions given there. The Oxford Cotton Mill is for tunate in securing the services of Mr. E. W. Worth as Superinten dent. He has had large experience and is thoroughly conversant with the Cotton Mill business. He is giving entire satisfaction. Mr. John Hall,the efficient Presi dent of the Mill,is too well known to need any praise at our hands. He is a business man of large ca pacity and his name connected with this mill meant success from the start. Mr. Hall is a clear-head ed, far-seeing man who will turn everything to the advantage of the concern of which he is the head. No better man could have been secured lor President Mr. Ira Howard, book-keeper for the Mill.also renders very valuable service to the concern. The capital stock of the Mill is already $125,000, With this large cap'tal and with such equippment as it has, both in officers and appli ances, the concern can but meet wiih great success. A large commodious dwelling, near the Mill for the residence of the Superintendent, is now nearing completion, which will add much to the appearance of the surround ings. I he trade of the factory peopl will add much to the trade of the town. We think the town should construct a nice sidewalk from the factory to the town limits on Hills boro street. This is due to the factory people in view of the pat ronage they render. Pile-ine cures flies! Money refunded if it ever falls. Will Keep you Cool.
