Beats the record on early tobacco. On Friday, July 24th, there was quite a good break of new tobacco on the Oxford market, and you just ought to have seen how quick our ware housemen and buyers limbered up tbeir "jints" and actually got an old time, quick moye on themselves. We were glad to see it, as we are a great champion of our wide-awake tobacco men, who are hard to excel. Our farmers are regular hummers on early cures and rolled in with new tobacco just like they were used to t and captured pinnacle prices. The sales at the different ware houses were exciting and attracted a arge number of people who rejoiced to hear the rested v oices of Itobt J. Hart, the Salem winner, and the old reliable Gene Crews, the two cracked auctioneers. All the houses made elegant sales, as prices ranged from $3 to $17 per hundred. Our farmers can just bet on the Oxford market this season as our warehousemen and buyers are determined to outstrip all former records. Farmer friends roll in with your primings and roll out with rolls of money as the old reliable Bank of Iranville and the solid First Natlon- tl Bank of Oxford have it ready and waiting for you. Death of a Worthy Citizen. It is with deep sorrow that we an nounce the death of our highly es teemed friend, Mr. Win. L.

Mr. Mitchell had been sick only about a week .previous to his death, though his health had not been good for some time. He died of congestion of the kidneys. He was about 70 years of age and had enjoyed a long and useful life. He was well known in the county and was an honest and useful citizen. During his life he has held several positions of trust in the county, and always with credit to himself and satisfaction to the people. He was county treasurer for several years, and for a number of years on the Board of County Commissioners, ln both these position he was a capa ble officer. In his own private affairs he was very successful both as a farmer and as a tooacconist. rie amassed a good estate farming while living in Dutchville township. He moved to Oxford years ago and engaged in the tobacco business in which he has also been successful. The town of Oxford and the county generally as well as his loved ones have sustained a great loss in his death. Mr. Mitchell was a consistent mem ber of the Methodist church, and the funeral services were conducted from his residence at 4 o'clock Tuesday af ternoon by his pastor, Rev. A. Mc- Cullen. He was also a bright Mason and Odd Fellow. The interment was in Elmwood Cemetery and was under the auspices of the Odd Fellows and Masons, two of the grandest orders in America today. The undertaker was Mr. Joe Hall and the pall-bear ers were: Messrs. u. . ltoysxer, vv . B, Ballou, W. H. Hunt, Willie Ean dls, E. T. White, Eugene Cre.vs. Mr. Mitchell leaves a wife and five children to mourn his death. His children are Mrs. E. D. Lyon, of Creed inoor.Mrs. C.A. Daniel, of Char lotte, Miss Mata Mitchell and Messrs W. Z. and Garland MItchell,of Oxford A very large concourse of sorrow ing friends attended the burial both from Oxford and from his old home in the country near Creedmoor, which attested the high esteem in which the deceased was held. To his grief stricken family we ex tend our sympathies in the hour of trial. May the good Lord comfort them in their afflictions. Successful Revival Meeting. Pleased to learn that the pro tracted meeting at Bullock's Metho dist church, near Hester, which closed Friday was very successful, Rev.W. H. Puckett and Rev. A. L. Ormand, of Gary, did the preaching.. Large crowds attended and much good was done. A number of mem bers were added to the church and the members of the church and the community generally were greatly helped by the meeting. Revs. Puckett and Ormand are fine preachers and faithful workers ln the Vineyard of the Lord. The people of that section are a moral, hospitable, church-going people and are ever ready to join ln every good work. Few sections can boast of such a high moral tone as pervades that community.

One Murder Case Several Sent to the Roads-Grand Jury, Etc, Granville Superior Court convened Monday at 11 a. m., Judge McNeill presiding. The following grand fury was drawn: .1. A. Shot well, foreman, H. S. Wil liams, A. J Yancey, J. H. Lyon, A. B. Moss, George Y. Parham, W. G. Mangum, G. S. West, J. T. Bobbitt, D. W. Adcock. J. C. Haskins, J. R. Perkluson, W. T. Hockaway, E. E. Mangum, A. S. Carrlngton, R. L. Pitchford, A. F. Breedlove, J. P. Mlze, with J. R. Day as officer. The charge to the grand jury was about what is generally given, be ing a plain, careful survey of the gene ral criminal law of the State. Judge McNeill is a plain, courteous gentle tleman of the old school type. As Judge we believe he gives satisfaction to the people as well as to the bar. Solicitor Brooks is on deck with his searching looks and ways. He is an able, capable officer who makes It hard for evil doers. He Is never severe, however, where the case re quires that justice should be temper ed with mercy. The docket is not full this week. There Is one criminal case (the Owen murder case )whieh is being tried to- day. Most of the other cases areun- important, only two old disturbers of the peace being sent to the roads. majority of the cases were larceny, assaults, carrying concealed weap ons, etc. The civil docket is espe cially light. But for the murder case above mentioned court would not have not lasted longer than 4 days Some Business ChangesMayor Minor Becomes Book-keeper ot First Na tional Bank of Oxford. Among the business changes which nave occurred in Oxford this week is the retirement of Mr. Charles D. Ray from active work in the First Na tional Bank of Oxford. Mr. Ray will still retain his official position as dl rector and vice-president of the bank, but will engage in the tobacco busi ness with our friend Sol. W. Cooper, This will make a stongteam as both air. tay ana Air. cooper are ex perienced tobacconists who have been very successful. We predict for them a high degree of success in the future. The First National Bank is fortunate in retaining the services of Mr. Ray as an oflicer,although he wil not continue to work there. Mr. Ray will be succeeded in the bank byaptain Sidney Minor. As cmei DooK-Keeper ne will prove a great help to the bank. As a rapid and accurate accountant he has few superiors. His name will also add strength to the institution as he is a popular young gentleman who will command a large patronage and fol lowing wherever he goes. It is to be regretted, however, that friend Minor has decided to give up the practice of the law. The bar has need of such honest, capable men as Capt. Minor, who are an honor to the profession. The bar of Oxford as well as others will somewhat regret to learn that Mr. Minor will retire from the practice of law, although they know he wTill achieve the highest success in wnatever caning ne may choose to adopt. All his friends wish for him the greatest success ln his new calling. NEXT SESSION UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF MEDICINE-S?'
