Every one who has a garden or farm should write to T. W. Wood & Sons, Richmond, Va., for their Seed Book for 1903. It is beautifully got ten up and well printed, and is really a complete hand-book of informa tion, both for the garden and farm. It is peculiarly valuable to our south ern growers, as it gives practical in formation about the seeds best adapted to our own section. It has been observed recently that various denominations are using the Episcopal marriage service without a word of protest from any body. Half a centuary ago this might have called forth anathemas. The brief crude words of a magis trate are as blinding as the service of the Church of England, but for perfect simplicity and beauty no marriage service can compare with that of the Episcopal Church.

This successful farce, by far the best that has been seen at the Grand this year, held the boards yes terday afternoon and evening and will again be repeated this evening. At both matinee and evening there were large and fashionable audiences and the indications are that there will be another. big house this even ing. ... The cast is an exceptionaly strong one. There are no weak features anywhere In it, and it is onecontinu ous laugh from start to finish. Among the cast Is Mr. Roy Temple ton, an old Bingiiaralte. Mr. Tem pleton was entertained by a number of his old school friends last evening at the Asheville club. Small Pox Near Oxford. Since some of .our people over the county have become a little concern ed about the small pox reported near Oxford we will give, briefly, the facts In regard to it. ine disease was brought to this section by a colored boy from New .1 ersey who had caught It from a companion tnere. When he came here he stopped at the home of Osborn Hart, who lives just out side of town where the disease devel oped on him. Dr. Williams was sum moned and thinking It " might be small pox called In health officer Dr, S. D. Booth who pronounced it small pox; Dr. Booth at once wired for a specialist, Dr. Harrell, of States- ville, who came and also pronounced it smallpox. There are some otner cases near Huntsville about three miles or more from town who caught it, it Is sup posed, from the colored boy from New Jersey with whom he had been In company. There are six cases, all colored. The health officer has quar antined all those who have it and they are carefully guarded. All the suspects have been sent to the house of detention and are being carefully looked after. Our Town Commissioners have held a special meeting to consider the situation and have adopted every precaution possible to prevent Its spread; so that with their co-opera tion and that of the people we think the disease Is safely under control. We would say to our country friends that there is no need for alarm as there Is no danger now of the disease spreading further, and they need not be afraid to come to Oxford when ever they get ready. The Dispensary Primary. The dispensary primary ordered by the Town Commissioners was held Monday at the Mayor's office, This primary was conducted by Messrs. Wm. H. Harrison, E. T Rawlins and Jas. L. Parham. The result of the vote was as follows : Votes cast for dispensary, 142 Votes cast against dispensary. 24 Total votes. 166 Majority in favor of dispensary, 118 This means that Oxford will have a dispensary in the near future, A bill will be drafted and sent to the Legislature soon for Its establish ment We hope that those who have this matter in hand will see to it that a proper person is appointed to manage the dispensary, and from what we can learn the most of our people are in favor of Mr. R. Brough ton, and also that the right men good business men are chosen as dispensary commissioners, for upon these two things depend the success of the dispensary. Messrs. W. A. Devln, S. W. Minor, John Webb, J. G. Hunt and F. W. Hancock were appointed a commit tee by the Town Commissioners to prepare the Dispensary Bill. Long.Looked-for Day Arrives. The many friends and admirers of Hon. A. W. Graham were glad to see him at home last Saturday and Sun day. He arrived here Saturday by way of Henderson, coming direct from there here over the new Oxford and Coast Line Railroad, getting off the cars just opposite his magnificent home. We congratulate the Judge on his home-coming on his new road. We say ms new road because the building of this road Is more largely due to his untiring energy and wis dom than any other source. As every one knows he has labored ardently for nine long years to establish this road amid discouragements which would have baffled most other men. He should feel gratified that his toils and discouragements have at last been rewarded. The road means much for Oxford and is a great step forward. AVe re joice with the Judge and tne good citizens of Oxford that the road is nearlng completion and that he was permitted, during his last home-coming to see his loved ones, to ride over it. WANTED A first class buggy body maker, correspond with Miles & Corey, Washington, N. C. To the Citizens of Oxford. . On next Monday there will be held at the court house a mass meeting of the taxpayers of Granville county to consider the question of public road imprdvement. We trust our town people will not permit it to be said that they are indifferent to this mat ter. No one thing could so benefit every class of our town people as good roads. Let it be borne in mind that this is an imperative necessity. Just a few days ago one of our best merchants and a liberal taxpayer so we learn, declared that he would leave Oxford if something was not done for the public roads so that the country people could get to town. bo let us attend the meeting, fellow- citizens merchants, warehousemen, tobacconists, professionals: every body and -show to our country friends that we are interested In this matter that we will join fiatids and touch elbows with them. Yes, that we will put our shoulders to the wheel and help push the old wagon out of the "mud and on to n. solid roadbed. - Death of Mrs. Maria Parham. It is with deep regret that we have to chronicle the death of Mrs. .. Maria Parham, of Henderson, which occur red on last Monday at one o'clock. Mrs. Parham had been ill only about ten days though immediately pre ceding her death the end was not unexpected. Mrs. Parham was a highly cultured christian woman and much beloved by those who knew her.. . In her, own town she was a leader , in every good cause and by nature was cordial and kind-hearted. For some time she had been the His torian of the Daughters of the Con federacy of her town. Mrs. Parham was the mother of our esteemed young townsman, Mr. W.Brooks Parham.. She has many friends in Oxford having spent . a while here some . years ago. - To all of tnese her death comes with much sadness. To her son in Oxford and the other members of the family we extend oar sincerest sympathies. May a kind Heavenly Father comfort them. Roll of Honor For Month Ending Jan. 10, at Graded School.

Dear Sir: The cost of labor in paint ing a house is three times the cost of the paint. You seem to save a little when you buy a lower priced paint, but you certainly add to the cost of labor when you buy a lower priced paint, but you certainly add to the cost of labor when you pay for spreading more gallons. You don t even save on the paint. Devoe Lead and Zinc costs a little more than mixed paints, but it takes fewer gallons, and the cost is actu ally less. Wears longer too longer than mixed paints, longer than lead and oil. You don't save a cent. air. C. Loch, a painter in Magno lia, Miss , writes: After years of experiments with mixed paints, I find that your paint covers more surface to the gallon than any I have ever used. For den sity and wearing qualities it cannot be excelled Compared with lead and oil: A house belonging to the late Presi dent of the Cotton River Bank, at Brewsters, N. Y., (cost $31,000) was painted with lead and oil in '84 at a cost of $400. In '87 three years It was repainted with Devoe at a cost of $3."0. In "J7 the house was still all right. Results: lead and oil cost $400, wear ten years. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co., New York. P. S. J. F.
