Charter Carried.
The Charter for the Graded School
was ratified, as it should have been
and as we knew It would be. There
was only one vote cast against the
school charter. It will be seen from
the above that It was carried almost
"unanimously." We are glad to say
that more and more our people are
impressed with the importance of
public education, and especially with
the Importance of good Graded
Schools. This is. Indeed the founda
tion stone on which rests the progress
of a town. No town can build up
which has not a progressive spirit.
There can be no progressive spirit
without a graded school.

the terminal of the Seaboard road
here. Col. Hiiaree. in comimnv with
Judge Graham, rode over a portion
of Oxford and heexpressed himself as
greatly pleased with our town. Col.
Hugee said to the editor: "I had no
idea Oxford was as large and at
tractive as it is, and I imagine that
it is a delightful place to live in." We
found him an elegant gentleman and
naturally must be quite popular with

counts for the popularity of the

We received with "much pleasure,
the kind invitation to attend the
"Crystal wedding" of Mr. and Mrs.
Josephus Daniels, of Raleigh, which
took place on last Saturday evening
the 2nd Inst, being the loth anniver
sary of their marriage. We regret
very much that we were unable to
attend. We learn that the occasion
was a most pleasureable one and very
largely attended. Mr. and Mrs. Joe
Daniels were the recipients of over 300
handsome presents, which attests in
a small way their popularity. The
reception held was attended by hosts
of friends from different sections of
the State. During the evening delic
ious refreshments were served.
May many more years of happiness
be allotted to our good friend and
his estimable wife and may all their
years to come bring to them joy and
prosperity is the sincere wish of the
editor.
At Work on the Roads.
The county convicts, with Super
visor Fleming in charge, are now at
work on the public road beyond the
cotton factory. We are glad, indeed,
that work has at last commenced on
Granville county roads. This work
was never more needed anywhere
and we hope it may be prosecuted
with vigor.
As our people remember, there have
been two attempts made by Gran
ville County Commissioners previous
to this to work the roads of the
county by convicts. But each at
tempt was shortly abandoned by
the Commissioners before anything
of any consequence was done. Let
our worthy Commissioners not al
low this to occur again. Let them
not grow faint or indifferent in the
great work they have undertaken.
We certainly need better roads and
the people demand better roads; and
it is the duty of our Commissioners
under the law to give us better roads,
which we feel sure they will do.
Let the whole people, our Commis
sioners and our Supervisor pull to
gether towards this end.
Mary Potter Memorial School Commence
ment. This has been a gay week for the
colored people of Oxford, the occa
sion being the commencement of the
Mary Potter Memorial School. The
commencement exercises this year,
commencing on Monday night and
continuing through to Wednesday
night, have been full and very inter
esting. The students of this excel
lent school acquitted thrmselves in a
manner which is highly creditable to
themselves and to Rev. G. C.
Shaw .and his corps of teachers.
Those who attended the exercises
say they were of a most Interesting
character.
We are glad to know of the con
tinued success of this splendid school
for the colored people. Rev. Shaw
deserves much credit for the work he
has done. He has the confidence and
support of the people both of the
North and of the South. We rejoice
at his success in Oxford, lie is a
wise and safe leader for his race and
has done a good work for their ad
vancement. He is a great believer in
practical education whether it be in
dustrial or a general technical edu
cation. In his sphere he occupies the
same position as Booker Washing
ton and stands for the same princi
ples and does largely the same work.
We are glad to note that every
year his school Is Increasing both in
attendance, means an efficiency. It
Is the result of real merit and of well-
earned popularity among his race.
We wish for hlra and his school con
tinued prosperity.

Municipal Election.
The election for Mavor a.nd Com
missioners in Oxford Tuesday was
the greatest ever known as no body
seemed to take any interest In it as
there was no opposition, and Mayor
uevin and Commissioners John Sted
man, S. W. Minor, W. Z. Mitchell, W.
H. Hunt, C. H. Landis. J. R. Wood,
and E. H. Crenshaw had a regular
walk over. There was a light vote
cast as many people failed to register.
The vote on bonds for water works
and electric lights was also light 86
being cast for bonds and 33 against.
Water works will prove a great
blessing to Oxford In many respects
and between water and electric lights
we believe a large majority of the
people prefer water works in case
both cannot be put in.
Hurrah for Oxford and our pro
gressive Mayor and Board of Com
missioners. Graded School Prizes.
Below are given the prizes award
ed In the graded school so success

gent study have won these lovely

testimonials of work well done, of
the higher development of those who
won them. They are mementoes
which In after life will remind the
winners of duties well done and of
success well-earned.

Letter to V. T. Potress, Oxford N. C.
Dear Sir: You naturally want to
make your own and yourcustomer's
money go as far as possible. So, In
the general interest, we tell you why
fewer gallons of Devoe Lead and
Zinc will paint a house than mixed
paints.
Let's suppose you are using lead
and oil. Instead of lead and oil you
put in four fifths whiting.llme, water,
and other stuff that doesn't paint at
all. Put that against a gallon of
lead and oil, and what will it do?
One-fifth as much.
How much of your labor is wast
ed? Four-fifths. How good a job
will it make? No comparison. How
much good will it do you In your
business to turn out such a job?
And so on.
Devoe Lead and Zinc paints a house
with fewer gallons than mixed paints,
and wears twice as long as lead and
oil. Yours truly,
F. W. Dicvoe & Co.,
New York.

Meeting at the Methodist Church.
A series of meetings have been in
progress at the Methodist church
here during the past week. Rev. J.
D. Pegram has been doing the preach
ing and our people have been more
than delighted at the very strong,
practical and eloquent sermons he
has delivered. For some time we
have known of the excellent work
Mr. Pegram has been doing as pastor
on the Granville circuit, and have re
garded him as a good preacher, but
until last week our people aid not
know of his wonderful gifts as a
thinker and preacher, having not
had the pleasure of hearing him many
times before. By common consent
the splendid series of sermons he has
preached here lately stamp him as
one of the strongest preachers in the
North Carolina Conference.
His sermons are vigorous and log
ical and full of gospel truth. His
methods are safe and he is never sen
sational. He resorts to no clap-trap
methods, but preaches the plain gos
pel, depending upon the Holy Spirit
to do the work.
Our people are, indeed, fortunate
in having so true and so gifted a
man to preach to them, and our
friends of the Granville circuit are
also fortunate In having so excellent
a pastor and preacher to minister
among them. He has done a great
wrork for his churches in the county.
Such a man is a mighty power in
any community.
The meeting will continue through
this week. Presiding Elder Moore
preaching at night and Rev. J. D.
Pegram in the afternoons at 4 o'clock.

My Ice Cream Parlor is now
open and will be strictly up to
date this season having just put
in a new outfit of lovely steel wire
chairs and tables. The rear of my
store has been nicely fitted up for
ladies and their escorts a place
where they can sit and enjoy their
ice cream, cake and fruit ices, or
any drink in perfect comfort.
THE QUALITY
Of our cream will be the same
upon which we have built our rep
utation the good old fashion kind,
made from the old home recipe, by
an experienced ice cream maker.
ICE CREAM P0XE.
We have had made several thou-
sand ice tream boxes for deliver
ing cream in any part of the city
10 cents, 25 cents and 50 cents per
box. Carry or ser.d your friend a
box.
CLEANLINESS,"
said one of our greatest ministers,
"is next to Godliness.'' We be
lieve this, and have had a perfect
system of waterworks put in, and
every glass is washed in fresh flow
ing water. See for yourself.
