At Opera House tnis Wed nesday night. Owinsr to the down-pour of rain th" past week suit i.a.nmgresiswa made on the high trestle over Fishing Crpek on the Oxford & Coast Line Railroad, but it will be completed this week. -Rumor has it that Oxford has this early a "Blind Tiger," and the ins? trade Increases daily. This does not look like prohibition prohibits A dispensary is far more preferable and more profitable. The attention of our tobacco growers is directed to the advertise ment of the F. S. Royster Guano Co nn the fourth page of this paper.

What Is the difference'between men follow ing the hot trail of a bottle from a drug store or a 2 gallon jug from Henderson and a licensed saloon ? It strikes us that our Town Commis sioners have swapped "the devil for the witch," and no boot. Another pleasant dance was giv en on Monday evening compliment ary to Miss Lulie Biggs, of Oxford, who is very popular here. She has visited here for several seasons and is always warmly welcomed. Her departure on Tuesday was regrested by a host of friends. Williamston Enterprise. Curious things will happen ! Rumor has it that a strong prohibitionist is laying his "pipes" to become the manager of the dispensary in case of Its establishment by a vote of the people of Oxford. The editor Is in favor of high license or a dispensary instead of prohibition that does not prohibit as is being fully demonstrat ed since the Town Commissioners re fused to grant license. Mr. R. L. Hamilton, the live, up- to-date druggist, has a message to you In this issue of the Public Ledger which you are cordially invited to read. He has developed into a poet, as well as an expert in compounding orescriotions. His line of aroods is full and complete and can supply vour wants in his line at bed rock prices. Be sure and read his adver ' tlsement on the first page. If you desire valuable real estate in Oxford look out for the sale of property by the Executors of the late Fielding Knott advertised in another column. The old reliable Druggist, J. G.

We hope you will read his advertisement on this page and continue to visit his store and supply yourself with whatever you may need In his line. Of course you will go and see Mr. Hall, as he Is hard to beat. The live progressive firm of Lan- dis & Easton are now offering rare bargains to the trade, and the ladies and men will do well to read their advertisement on the 4th page of this paper, as there is money in it for them. It Is well known that these gentlemen do what they say, so bar gains await your coming fvt thoir two stores. Another thing, it will pay you to go early and get the pick of the bargains. The legislative session which be gan yesterday will be of keen interest from the beginning. Of course the senatorship fight will tower above all other things until it Is out of the way. The big things on the cards are the revenue law, the child labor aw and the liquor law. The State officers advise various courses to raise revenue, and the legislature will start in with plenty of good advice along this line. It is asserted that the cotton mill men will not fight the child labor law. The liquor men will watch closely anti-liquor legislation. They haye a strong organization. PRETTY HOME WEDDING. Rev. R. G. Shannonhouse and Miss Martha Fredriksen Made One. One of the notable social events of the season in Oxford was the mar riage of Miss Martha E. Fredriksen to Rev. Royal Graham Shannon- house, of Statesville. It took place at 11 o'clock on the morning of the last day of the old year, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Louis de Lacroix, the beautiful ceremony of the Epis copal church being said by Rev. R. B Owens, rector of St. Stephen's church. The bridal party entered the elegant ly decorated parlors to the music of the wedding march, rendered by Miss Charlotte V. Britt. Miss Catharine. de Lacroix was maid of honor, and Mr. F. M. Shr-rmonhouoi. , of CLu. lotte, brother of the groom, best man. The house was beautifully decora ted and lunch was served after the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Shannonhouse left on the early afternoon train via Dur ham for a visit to relatives at Green ville, S. C. Mr. Shannonhouse has been rector of Trinity church at Statesville for the past three years. Mrs. Shannonhouse Is a young wo man of many accomplishments, and has been a member of . the choir of St. Stephen's church for several years and has many warm friends in Ox ford who wish her every joy that life can bestow. She is a native of Mas sachusetts.

J . G. Hall. OXFORD'S PROGRESSIVE MARCH. There are Manv Things of Which W Should Feel Proud. As the new year opens and we look back on Oxford's last year record of progress there are many things of which we should feel proud. For our own part we must say that we are very much gratified at the progress our town has made during the last twelve months. Our manufacturing enterprises are all in splendid condition. The cotton mill Is on a solid basis and is now an assured success. The furniture fac tory has done an excellent business during tbe year just passed and is now one of the best paying enter prises In the State. The Taylor-Can-nady Buggy Co. has a large output and is selling all the vehicles it can make. It is an admirably managed concern and pays handsome divi dends. It is numbered among the largest manufactories of the South. Our banks, both of them the First, National and the Bank of Granville have done a splendid business dur ing the year just passed. They have added a large volume of business and have gained many friends. They are both progressive and up-to-date in stitutions and deserve the large pat ronage they receive. The tobacco market at Oxford dur ing the past year has been a signal success in every way. The increased sale of leaf tobacco last year was un usually large, and we are glad to say also that Oxford is still holdinsr Its own as one of the very best tobacco markets in the State and still con L - l i , unites to pay tne nisrnest averae-e price of any market we know of The tobacco growers in this section of the State are fortunate in having such an able, experienced and accom modating corps of warehousemen and buyers as those on the Oxford market. Our buyers spare no pains or expense to give our farmers the very best possible accommodation. vv hue thankful for the patronage our warehousemen and other bus! ness men have given the Public Led ger just here we wish to remind them that every dollar paid us Is being spent for the building up of their town and county and every dollar sent out of Oxford for work which we can do is helping to build up some omer town. w e would ask our friends to give this a thought. A -! M I i t m m - Auomer institution oi wnicn we are proud and which has made rapid progress during the year lust passed is the Oxford graded school. Under the management of that trained ed ucator, Prof. S. H. Hodgln,it has in creased in patronage and efficiency. Under Its wise management we are assured of its continued success. Our farmers have done well. The prices on tobacco and other products have been, most of the time, very high. Being blessed with an abund ant crop and getting good prices they are, or should be, in good con dition financially. There is every reason, with such a good start, why our people, both the farmers in the country and the people of Oxford, should enter upon the new year with renewed energy for the future Our merchants have had the best year they have had for many. .Let us one and all resolve to not let the achievements of the past suffice for the future. Let us now put our shoulders to the wheel and under take great things and expect great things for the present new year. There are several needs in Oxford, but chiefest of these are a good sys tem of electric lights and a new and up-to-date hotel. These two things we must have. We have made sev eral unsuccessful attempts to secure electric lights. Let us not for this reason be discouraged, but keep try- ing till we get them. Now we come to our hobby a new hotel. Surely everybody is im pressed with the need of a good hotel. Oxford can never advance much further without this improve ment. It Is for our citizens to say whether we shall stop here or go for ward. The past year with its memories good and bad is gone. The year 1902 is a thing of the past. Whatever mistakes we have made or good we have done Is recorded for or against us. The past we cannot recall, but let us look to tie future. Let us not be satisfied with past attainments. But, with renewed efforts, let us turn our faces to the future. A Real Work of Art. One. of the prettiest pictui'es we have ever seen is on exhibition at the Weldon millinery store. It is a work of art and so true to nature that the figures on it appear as if they should step out and speak to you, as you gaze upon them. It was painted by Mrs. Norman Burwell, of Oxford, who was formerly Miss Mary Travis, a sister of Mrs. W. R. Smith, of this town. The picture has been greatly admired and has taken first premi um at the State fair and the Weldon fair. Roanoke News. WANTED Young man who wants to learn the cabinet and pic ture business.
