One day last week Mr. J. P. Mize, of the Enon section, killed 9 pigs that netted him 2,032 pounds of meat. Judge Graham has introduced a bill in the legislature for relief of Mr. Charles Thomas as to pension. Rev. A. McCullen delivered in the Methodist Church Sunday morn ing a very strong sermon on Temper ance. The closer President Roosevelt sticks to the Crum crowd the faster will crumble the respect decent South ern people have for him. A bill repealing the road law of Granville county was taken from the calendar and passed, being the first law of the Legislature of 1903. Some people are afraid to make the Lord a promise, but they will promise the devil to do almost any thing provided he won't tell on them An advertisement discontinued Is soon forgotten, and if It remains dis continued long there is danger of an advertiser himself being forgotten also. John D. Rockefeller made the Chicago University a Christmas gift of 1,000,000 and then ran the price of oil up, raking in 2,400,000 for his share of the raise, leaving him $1,- 400,000 ahead.

As we have stated before the Public Ledger would like to have every business in Oxford repre sented in Its columns not alone for the benefit of the paper but as an advertisement of the town abroad and to show that we have live and not dead business men. The attention of our farmers is especially directed to the change in the advertisement of J ohnson Ware house, so successfully run by Mr. Z. W. Lyon, who has proved to be the farmers friend. It canbe truly said that he studies the interest of his pat rone, and never turns a pilejf tobacco loose until It has reached the cream of the market. Public Ledger congratulates the Taylor-Cannady Buggy Co. upon se curing the services of Mr. Thos. W. Winston, as Secretary-Treasury, as he is one of the best book-keepers In the State, live, energetic and a capi tal business man. He is affable and hence very popular with the the trade. Mr. Winston succeeds Mr. J. B. Roller, a most excellent gentle man, who returns to his first love the Insurance business, which he has followed for over 25 years. We are much p? . ased to learn that Mr, Charley Bryan will continue to have charge of the salesroom of the Taylor-Cannady Buggy Co, He cannot be excelled as a salesman as his record the passed year certainly proved, as his sales amounted to nearly $32,000. He sold to the local trade between 500 and COO buggies, phaetons and wagons, and is the right man in the right place. This department paid a handsome divi dend for the company, and to the hustling Charley Bryan Is due the- credlt. Dr. R. H. Marsh, D. D. SCHOLAR AND TEACHER.

The "Funny Duster" Club, com posed of young married ladies, was delightfully entertained Wednesday afternoon by Mrs. H. M. Shaw. The unique programs for the occasion was the product of the skillful pen of Mr. H. M. Shaw, and the neatest "we have seen this season. The Board of Education of the county met Monday in their room in the Court House with Messrs F. W. Hancock and Graham B. Royster present, along with Prof. J. C. How ard, the efficient Superintendent. Dr. J. F. Sanderford was not present. The principle business transacted by the Board was the apportionment of the school fund to the different districts of the county. It is probable we shall publish the apportionment next week. Mr. Mack Nichols, of Mecklen burg county, Va., and Miss Sarah White, of Luninburg county, Va.. arrived In Oxford Monday afternoon and stopped at the Osborn House The Register of Deeds was soon in tervied and a marriage license se cured. In a short time the stately and dignified Dr. R. II . Marsh ar rived at the hotel, and in the pres ence of a number of witnesses the happy couple were made one after God's holy ordinance. May they re ceive the forgiveness of loved one at home for stealing a march on them, and ever be happy in each others love. Letter to H. H. Eatman, Oxford, N. C. Dear Sir: We hear you're doing a good business, and we know already without your telling us. that you use good paint and do good work We've got a big business too been at it 149 years making good paint, best in the world, Devoe Lead and Zinc. "Fewer gallons and wears longer" thats the reason In short. It takes fewer gallons of Devoe Lead and Zinc than of mixed paints to cover a house, and It wears longer than lead and oil or any mixed paint. Smith & Wilber.Cambridge Springs, Pa., writes: One of our painters savs Devoe Is the best paint for a painter to use when taking work by the job, as it goes farther and covers better than any paint he ever used. Here's the experience everybody has with it. The dealer who sells Devoe gets the bulk of the paint bus iness of his town. The painter who paints Devoe gets the painting of his town. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co., New York. P, 8. J j F. Edwards sells our paint. TEACHER'S INSTITUTE. A Large Number Present and Much Good Accomplished. Notwithstanding the severe cold day a large number of teachers at tended the teacher's "institute last Friday. The meeting was held In the court house Instead of the opera house as that could be more easily heated. The meeting opened some thing after ten o'clock. Mr. F. W. Hancock, chairman of the board of education, called the house to order and presided over the meeting. Rev. A. McCullen opened the meet ing with a fervent prayer in behalf of the occasion and the teachers. The first business was calling the roll of teachers of the county by Mr. J. C. Howcrd, County Superintend ent. Then the address oi welcome was delivered in timely and well chosen words by Prof. F. P. Hob good. Prof. E. P. Moses, of Raleigh, not being present, Prof. F. L. Stevens, of the A. & M. College, was the first speaker and was introduced by Mr. Hancock. Prof. Stevens spoke on The Simple Methods of Teaching Ag riculture. The next speaker was Prof. J. T. Alderman, Superintendent of Hender son Graded Schools. His subject was Methods of Teaching and School Management. After this address the meeting ad journed for dinner, reassembling at 2 o'clock, and was opened by the au dience singing the Old North State, after which Prof. T. Gilbert Pearson, of the State Normal School, was in troduced, his subject being The Value and Preservation of Wild Animals. Prof. J. C. Kittrell, Superintendent of Schools in Vance county, was bill ed to speak on the Uses, Benefits and Extension of Rural Libraries, but being called to Washington City on business did not arrive. The institute was a success, most of the teachers being present, and they deserve much credit for coming out on such a very rough day. Our teachers in Granville deserve much credit and sympathy. They are all good looking as one of Ox ford's young widowers will testify. They are competent, they are deserv ing. We were sorry that more school committeemen were not present. Look out for the County Superlnten dent. Let us as teachers and pat rons put forth every honorable effort to advance the cause of education in our county, and lot teachers and committeemen try to get more chil dren to attend our schools. As the institute was held at an undue sea son of the year we will use our influ ence to have the next in November or April. D. N. H. County Commissioners.

There Should be no Trouble on New Street Question, The Board of Town Commissioners held their regular monthly meeting Monday night, and tranacted routine business. Commissioners J. S. Brown J. S. Hall and F. W. Hancock were appointed a committee to see what the opening of the new street to the Oxford and Coast Line Railroad Depot will cost and make a report. For the best interest of the business of the town we most earnestly hope the committee will actpromptly and make their report at a call meeting of the Board as the road will soon reach Oxford, and this most impor tant matter should be settled. We trust they will also remember that the building of this important link in Oxford's progress would not be go ing on today but for the assurance of this street and the terminal facili ties. We had hoped and believed that the matter regarding the opening of the street and the appropriation by the town commissioners was entire ly settled. The agreement made some months ago at the large and enthu siastic meeting of the citizens In the Court House was conclusive. At this meeting, as our people know, the commissioners agreed to pay $1500 for this purpose. Indeed, this was unanimously recommended by the citizens present, there being not a dissenting vote. This was an ex pression from the proper source, coming, as it did, from the leading taxpayers of the town. At this same meeting over $800 was subscribed, most of which has already been paid in. It will be remembered, also that this subscription was made, as we thought, and as we believe everybody understood, on condition that the town was to pay $1500. Surely there will be no trouble here. The plan was well understood and will we trust be carried out without any In terruption. Our authritles' promised appropriation has been endorsed and sanctioned by the public vote of the taxpayers of the town. Of course our authorities will not deviate from this but will carry out the wishes of the people as expressed. To The Public. We the undersigned Druggist of Oxford, have carefully read the state ment of principles and line of action, determined on by the physicians o the town, and we hereby give notice to the public that we will not sell or allow to be sold at our respective places of business any liquors except on that plan and prescriptions of practicing physicians or as hereto fore In cases of emergency and where on account of infirmity of age or cronic sickness, and we further state we will not refill precrlptions for liquors otherwise than shall be dl rected by the acting physicians. J. G. HALL, R. L. HAMILTON. I desire to announce to the public a fact which is generally known that I have not kept for sale wines, bran dies or whiskies for a number of years and that I do not propose to profit by the closing of the bar-rooms My place will not become one in any sense, but I will continue not to keep or sell whiskies, wines or any thing of the kind unless forced to do so. J. P. STEDMAN. Oxford and Dispensary. To the Editor: There are two Items In your paper, one day before yesterday and one yesterday, which illustrate the adage that you must go away from home in order to learn the news. These Items declare In ef fect, 1. That the people of Oxford want a dispensary. 2 That meeting of leading citizens had just been held which decided that the people of Oxford want a dlspen sary. 3. When and where did they meet? 4. By what authority do these lead ing citizens speak for the people of Oxford ? 5. Do these leading citizens, who ever they may be, in their petition, whatever it may be, ask the Legisla ture to establish a dispensary in Ox ford without ascertaining, by an election, whether the people of Ox ford really do want a dispensary ? 6. How do these leading citizens, whoever they may be, know that the people of Oxford do not want pro hibition? 7. How do these leading citizens know that the people of Oxford do not want high license ? Personally, I am in favor of a dis pensary, and will vote for one If the leading citizens will be so gracious as to permit me to have the opportuni ty to do so. In all seriousness, would it be a crime to allow the people of Oxford to decide this question for themselves? The people of Oxford submit to ma jorities, but do not follow leading citizens, unless they be chosen leaders. -Walter P. Stradley in News & Ob server. Oxford, N. C, Jan. 10th.
