The people of Oxford heard with much sadness Tuesday about noon that Mrs. Katharine Lassiter, relict of the late R. W. Lassiter, had enter ed the portals of the Eternal City and was numbered with the saints in glory after a brief illness. "And friends, dear friends, when it shall be That this low breath Uas gone from me; When round my bier you come to weep Let one, most loving of you all, Say, 'Not a tear must o'er her fall, He glveth His beloved sleep.'" Involuntarily did the well known lines repeat themselves to those friends who gazed on the sweet and peaceful face of Mrs. Lassiter as she lay asleep in Jesus, in that last sleep which knows no waking. It almost seemed as If some glint of the glory to be revealed had already touched and glorified her with its heayenlyra dlence it was the reflection caught by a life spent with "unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord until changed Into the same image." It was a life filled with good deeds and kind words and help ful Influences, the life of a wife and mother who made home perfect for a happy band of boys, who dedicated her home to her Master, a Bethany home where Jesus loved to be, for Hia wish was the supreme law of that home, as she was a devoted and consecrated member of the Episcopal church, and was In her accustomed seat Sunday morning and listened to the farewell sermon of Rev. R. B. Owens, which also proved her fare well sermon on earth. She was 77 years of age, and had faithfully served her generation by the will of God, as a teacher in Sun day school and In many other ways until old age came on. Everybody who knew Mrs. Lassiter loved her as she was looked upon as the embodi ment of christian purity. She had rear ed a family to serve God, and one son to preach His glorious Gospel. Her work was done. And so Tuesday at midday, aa the brightness of the sun lit up the earth, upon her forehead fell a grander day, and Into the sun shine of a sinless land she passed, no longer weak with the Infirmities of age, but glorious in Immortal youth and strength and joy. "O child of God, O glorious heir. How rich a lot Is thine ! A hand almighty to defend, An ear for every call, An honored life, a peaceful end, And heaven to crown It all." She leaves behind five sons, Major William Lassiter, U. S. A., Robt. W. Lassiter, President of the First Na tlonal Bank of Oxford, Rev. Skinner Laaaiter, of Hertford, Mr. Thornton Lassiter, of New York, and Mr. Jas, Lassiter, of Holyoke, Mass., to mourn the loss of a dear and sainted mother, and other relatives and friends to mourn her death. As the death of Mrs. Lassiter was unexpected Mr. Robt. Lassiter was In New York City on business at the time of the death of his dear mother who he has so tenderly cared for and cannot, along with his brothers, reach Oxford until this Wednesday afternoon final arrangementa for the funeral will not be made until they arrlye, but will probably take place from the Episcopal Church Thurday afternoon about 6 o cock. Farewell Sermon. Rev. R. B. Owena, Rector of St Stephen's Episcopal church, preached hia farewell sermon to hia congrega tion here on last Sunday morning, which was a good sermon and much enjoyed by the members, though, of course, it brought sadness to them. He left Tuesday with his estimable wife and little son for his new charge at Rocky Mount. Mr. Owens has served St. Stephen's most acceptably for five years and eleven months During this period the membership of the church has almost been doubled and the beautiful new church has been built, and largely through his untiring efforts. His parting sermon was one of tenderness and brought tears from his devoted members. The church as well as the entire town is deeply conscious of the loss which his departure brings. He is the only minister who has preached to the aged and infirm at the county home for years. Only last Sunday after noon he walked out there and preach ed to them. Few men are so beloved by the church they serve or by the commu nity at large as Mr. Owens. The adornment of the beautiful chancel In the church Is largely the work of his own hands, as he is a genius in architecture both In designing and executing. The very handsome rude screen which was completed Sj, few days ago and now adorns the chan cel la also the handiwork of Mr. Owens. This lovely screen Is a me morial gift from Mrs. Melisaa Gilliam, relict of Judge Robert B. Gilliam, and is placed there to his and the other members of her family's mem ory. It la one of the prettiest screens we have ever seen and adds much to the appearance of the interior of the church. Mrs. Gilliam haa for years been one of the most useful and de voted members of St. Stephen's and contributed largely to its erection. She is much beloved for her many christian graces and ia one of the trueat and beat of women. C. D. RAY One of the Proprietors of the Owen Ware house. While continuing to buy leaf to bacco on the market the year around and operating hia steam plant, C. D, Ray will from this time on be identi fied aa one of the proprietors of the Owen Warehouse.

It affords the editor much pleasure to announce to his farmer friends that tobacco has advanced on the Oxford market and leada all others yet heard from in the pricea of wrap pers. There was a good break Mon day and excitement run high among tne senera when wrappers run up to $50, 52, and the greatest of all when the $54 mark was reached per hun dred. The other markets can blow and hurrah over reaching $50, but It remains for the old reliable Oxford market to reach pinnacle prices and crown herself with glory In the to bacco world. It cannot be excelled and continues the champion tobacco market on high averages the year round. Why is this so. because it has the est warehousemen, the most liberal buyers and unsurpassed facil ities for handling the weed. Granville county tobacco leads the world In texture and flavor, aud Is sought by all manufacturers, and for tnis reason our buyers are always supplied with large orders for all grades. If our farmers will not catch at little baits and stick to the Oxford market they can count on cominir oat ahead In selling their crop, as to bacco sells strictly on its merits on all the warehouse floors with no peta to hamper the buyers who are ever willing to go their limit on all grades. Orders continue to be placed on our market and in conse quence of the Increased demand for Granville county weed prices continue to climb higher and higher so it is money in our farmers "inside pocket don't you know" to market their to bacco in Oxford. Sales every day In the week, and our warehousemen. buyers and all others connected with the tobacco trade along with our merchants will extend you a cordial welcome to your county town, one you should take pleasure in patron izing in every possible way as her in terest is your interest. Now we will get down to "the milk in the cocoa nut" and let you read for yourself what good tobacco brings on the Oxford market. Mr. C. G. Mangum rolled in Monday with a load and pulled the buyers bank account for $50, 35, 11, 10 and 8 at the Farmers w arenouee. At the J ohnson Ware house Mr. J. W. Floyd pocketed with great satisfaction for a load $10, 15. 52, 40, 20 average $29.64, which caused much excitement among the farmers aa the bidding was rapid and spirited. Monday was a "red letter day" at the Owen Warehouse and Walter Stark was In his glory , proving that he Is a hummer aa a warehousemen. Read the following prices for yourself: Li. 1. Crews calmly walked ur and amid great excitement captured $54, 40, 13, 10, for one load, and his brother, D. G. Crews, pocketed $16, 30, 46,9. W. C. Daniel scooped In $40, 10, 15, 10. Peed fc Allen 11, 40, 15. J. H. Cawthorn 10, 35, 20, the whole break averaged $11.96. Great Is Oxford as a tobacco mar ket and stands to-day at the head of the list on highest averages obtained barn round. Our market enjoys the distinction of having the best judge of wrappers In the trade in the person of Dr. E. T. White, who is pleasant, liberal and one of the most high-toned gen tlemen that ever hovered over a pile of tobacco. To show his reputation aa a buyer and judge of wrappers a warehouseman in Durham remarked to a farmer one day last week: "If we only had Dr. White, of Oxford, aa a buyer on our market we would show you how to sell wrappers as he is the best wrapper buyer in the trade." This is clear proof that Ox ford is regarded as tlu best fine to bacco market in this or any other State. $75 REACHED TUESDAY -A GREAT DAY. Tobacco shot up among the raft era Tuesday and was the greatest day since the opening of the market for the season. Thousands and thou sands of pounds covered the five large warehouse floors, and Gran ville, Vance, Person and Durham counties were represented aa the farmera know that Oxford will reach top-notch pricea on all grades. To bacco brought all the way from $3 to $75 per hundred. Mr. L. A. Cur rin bore off the honor of receiving $75 for his first grade at the old re liable Minor run by Mr. S. W. Cooper, who knows how to sell tobacco. He is mighty quiet about It but he "gets there." The farmers all went away well pleased, speaking in high terms of the market. Yes, they get the top of the market for every pound of to bacco brought here. Eyery courtesy and accommodation to be desired is extended to the farmer on this mar ket. Rah! rah! for the Oxford mar ket, warehousemen and buyers Come right along if you want the highest prices for your crop. Death of Col. J. S. Amis.
