BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY.
Resignation of Pastor Hardaway, Who Has
Accepted a Call to Newman, Ga.
On last Sunday morning Rev. J. S.
Hardaway, of the Baptist church.
preached a special sermon to the
Granville Grays. The company,
which is composed of as handsome a
set of young men as are to be found
in the State, attended in a body,
with Captain VV. A. Devln, and also
Adjutant General Royster, Col. S. W.
Minor. Majors Willie Landis and W.
E. Massenburg, and the other officers
of the Grays, all dressed in uniforn
and looking "their best."
Mr. Hardaway delivered a very ap
propriate and able sermon, his sub
ject being "A Good Soldier of the
Cross," which was received with
deepest interest by every one present.
After the sermon a special confer
ence of the church was called, when
Rev. J. S Hardaway offered his for
mal reslgnaiion as pastor of the Ox
ford Baptist church. The announce
ment was received with deep regret
by the church and was accepted with
much reluctance, and only because It
was known that Mr. Hardaway a
decision was final. The scene which
followed in the conference meeting
was enough to show the affectionate
esteem in ivhich the pastor is held.
Almost the entire audience was melt
ed In tears. The severance of so
strong and tender a connection as
pastor and people, a,nd especially
where a pastor was so much beloved
as Mr. Hardaway, is indeed sad, es
pecially after a pastorate of over
twenty years. His departure from
Oxford is a distinct loss to the town
as well as his church. He is a strong
pastor, a useful citizen and a true
christian gentleman, and is greatly
beloved by all the people of Oxford
without regard to denomination or
class.
He goes to Newman, Ga., where he
accepts the pastorate of Central Bap
tist church. Newman is a town of
six thousand people and the church
is a strong and growing one. He
will leave Oxford about November
1st, The editor regrets to see Mr.
Hardaway and his estimable family
leave Oxford, but wish for them much
pleasure and success in their new
home,

Miss Mary Pescud, of Raleigh, a
missionary from Brazil, delivered an

OXFORD FULL OF TOBACCO.
Largest Break Friday Seen in Oxford in

Since the last Issue of the Public

has been sold on our up-to-date mar

Each day our live large warehouses
enjoyed good breaks, and fine tobacco
reached as high as $45 per hundred,
and many high averages were made
in the face of low prices and a com
mon crop of tobacco.
iTiaay's break was a record break
er as every warehouse was run over
with the weed, and sales were con
tinued Saturdav. Tr, 1 a pott m n fa I
that there was between two and
three hundred farmers on the market
who watched the sales very closely.
The Farmers Warehouse enjoyed
the distinction of having the largest
break, with 601 piles on the floor,
with the Minor a close second with
over 500, while the other houses were
full. Prices so far as we could judge
remained about the same. Mr. Eugene
Crews, the auctioneer, performed the
great feat of selling over 1800 piles of
tobacco in 7 nours and 20 minutes,
which Is hard to excell. Mr. R. J.
Hart at the Johnson proved equal
to the emergency and made a rapid
sale. The amount paid out Friday
by the banks In the facof low prices
amounted to over $12,000.
Monday witnessed another fairly
good break, while Tuesday was a
regular win ner the 5 warehouse being
again full of the weed.
It seems that the farmers have de

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble
and Don't Know it.
ITow To Find Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stard twenty-four hours; a
sediment or set
tling indicates an
-ygj unhealthy condi
Yrtion of the kid-
y neys ; if it stains
-) your linen it is
I evidence of kid
ney trouble; too
frequent desire to
pass it or pain in
the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and blad
der are out of order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists in 50c. and$l. sizes.
You may have a sample bottle of this
wonderful discovery
and a book that tells
more about it, both sent
absolutely free by mail.
