Wonder If we will havetogetout a search warrant for our correspond ents? We hope they will send us the news from their respective sections, and In case any have decided to stop writing they will do the editor a fa vor by informing him of the fact. A gentleman from the country was in town Tuesday and was in a big hurry. One of his friends noting this fact said: "You must have come after a chunk of fire." "No," said he. "1 have come after a woman which is about the same thing." Wonder if he is henpecked? We are glad to note the prosper! ty of the Durham Morning Herald, which has enlarged to t pages, and we offer our congratulations to Messrs. King & Rollins.

Under the splendid management of Rev. G. C. Shaw the Mary Potter Memorial School for the colored race is going forward, and at such ad vancement we greatly rejoice. It has made such rapid progress during tne past two years as to necessitate the enlargement of the buildings rsome time tnis summer two more large buildings will be erected, the contract for the lumber having been already given out. Bev. Shaw is materially aided by the Northern Presbyterian church which recognizes and appreciates the very superior work he Is doing for his race. He Is certainly one of the leading colored educators of the South. He Is well educated and Is an Incessant worker, and has done much for the educational and mate rial advancement of his people In this section of the State. Such a man is entitled to the best wishes of all who wish to see our colored peo pie advance and become better cltl zens. We wish for the school the continued prosperity it justly de serves. WHO IS HE? Who is he that makes the fewer- gallons; wears longer paint? Help the Children. Our friends at Knap of Reeds will on July 14th vote on the question of a special tax for sehool purposes. We would urge upon them the import ance of carrying this proposition There la no more Important question before our people than edueatlon, and we should lose no opportunity to provide better schools. The cost is small, and compared with the ben eficial results it is insignificant. Many a section owes its highest advance ment to its efforts for better schools The Knap of Reeds section Is one of the best In the county and deserves the very best school facilities, and we bespeak for them success. hlle we believe they will win yet there is opposition to the tax and the good rjeoDle of that section should not a. feel too sure until the vote Is carried Let every one who favors the tax work until the day is past and spare no effort to carry this important measure. Its passage will mean much for the section's progress; Ub defeat would mark a step backward. so don't vote against It. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take Laxative Bronio Quinine Tablets.

The attractive home of Mr. J. S. Brown on College street was the scene of quite a pretty wedding Wed nesday morning when Mr. James P. Floyd led to the altar Miss Mattie Brown, the ceremony being perform ed by Rev. A. McCullen, pastor of the Methodist church, witnessed by quite a number of friends of the popular young couple. The fair bride was attired in a beautiful white organdie trimmed with white ribbon and lace, carrying a bouquet of bride roses and the tandsome groom wore conventional black, and It was admitted by all present as quite a handsome couple. The spacious parlors and hall were decorated with flowers, ferns and palms In profusion,- presenting a beautiful scene. The wedding march was exquisite ly rendered by the highly accomplish ed Miss Eva Minor. The maid of honor was Miss Beulah Bryant and the best man Mr. John M. Morris. The groom Is one of Oxford's pop ular young tobacconists, and a young man or nign cnaracter and exemplary habits. The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. J. S. Brown, one of Oxford's prominent and pros perous business men, and possesses many charms which have drawn many friends about her. The large number of handsome presents attest the popularity of the happy couple, many of which were of a costly and useful character. Shortly after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Floyd took the train for Knox yllle, Tenn., to visit Mr. F. P. Floyd, brother of the groom, who lives In that city, followed by the best wishes of a host of friends for a long and happy life. After their return to Oxford Mr, and Mrs. Floyd will commence house keeping In the residence of Dr. D. C White on Main street. Address of Mr. S. T. Peace at Bankers' Convention. At the recent session of the State Bankers' Association at Wrlghtsvllle one of the most Interesting and prof itable auaresses maae was tne one by our popular young townsman, Mr. Sam T. Peace, Teller In the Bank of Granville. The subject discussed by Mr. Peace was, "A Southern De pository." He handled his subject in a most sensible and practical man ner, showing the great need for such an institution in the South. He showed how the depository had be come a necessity from the increased volume of money in the South, and how it was, in reality, a natura progression from carrying money In the pocket, many years ago, to the bank and, from the bank to the de pository. The paper also showed in detail the advantages of the deposi tory how the earning capacity of money would be increased if the South had a depository, how many items In transportation would be saved besides the great convenience it would afford. The North and East, the Middle States and the West already have one and surely the South should. Mr. Peace showed how the South for years sold its cotton to Northern manufacturers, they manufacturing it at a large profit and shipping it back South, our section losing the profits, paying freight . both ways and taking the work from our labor ing classes; but that now we had changed our plans and built factories at home, and that we should, like wise, have a depository and thus save a great amount of money to the South.
