Oxford has numerous colored
loafers of the male kind who are
never known to strike a lies of work
ana who are supported by "cat hole
grub," at the direct expense of the
white housekeepers of Oxford. We
heard a colored "Buck" say a few
days ago that he was "living 10 days
to the week as his woman had stop
ped working in tobacco and was
now cooking out." And yet the
Northern w riters and orators pretend
to understand this burden of the
South.
Our market Is abundantly sup
plied with fine shad dally and the
"Scaly Trust" allows no cutting of
prices this season, hence It is useless
to go from one dealer to another to
see if you can get them cheaper. You

fresh meats as the Beef Trust Is of
long standing. Rev. Sam Slaughter
is at the head of both these combina
tions but still insists that he is as
poor as a church mouse. But-nevertheless
he is the healthiest looking
colored man In town and wears a
broad smile on his face daily.

ARRAY OF BEAUTIFUL PRODUCTIONS
The Bewitching Art of Making Keadwear
for Women,
Friday was a lovely spring day
and the streets were thronged with
the ladies from both town and coun
try who were attracted by the milli
nery openings. The stores were Ba
zaars of Fashion and beauty, and an
exquisite display of up-to-date mlill
nerv greeted and charmed them. The
editor visited the different arrayed
departments which were charming
to the eye, but paralyzing to the
pocket book. The styles, materials
and shapes make an interesting study
for those feminine minds who have
to solve the problem of what to get
to wear.
At Long Bros, the popular Miss
Wellman displayed an elaborate ar
ray or pretty crea tions of rare beauty
which caught and charmed the eye
and won the admiration of the ladies,
who could not help buying beautiful
Easter hats which add so much to
their good looks.
Tlw millinery department of Lan
dis & Easton, the oldest in Oxford,
was another very attractive place
and was thronged with the fair ones,
and Mis? Willis, the new milliner,
was highly pleased with the compli
ments of a high order regarding her
attractive display, and her sales
were numerous.
At Miss Mary BHe Gregory's there
was another exquisite display of hats
for all feminine wearers and all femi
nine fancies, from the simplest affair
for a child to the most elaborate pro
duction for the proudest bride, and
were greatly admired which resulted
In many sales being made.
The new Millinery Parlor of Miss
Bettie Smith was another centre of
attraction for the ladies. Her open
ing was gratifying from Deglnnlng
to end, and the popularity of this
new place was attested by the large
number who attended the opening
and enjoyed the display as well as
made purchases, as Miss Smith and
her attractive milliner, Miss Har
wood, know so well how to cater to
the wants of the ladles.
All did well and the millinery de
partments and stores of Oxford are
well up with those of much larger
places in display and originality.
No Easter Exercises.
Owing to smallpox in the com mu
nity the Easter Exercises at Banks
Chapel has been called off.

A Sermon to the Granville Grays.
Rev. John E. Wool, the much be
loved pastor of the Presbyterian
church, and chaplain of. the Granyllle
Grays, preached a special sermon to
them on Sunday morning last, the
officers and men, together with the
Adjutant General and other officers
of the State Guard, attending in a
body. We are Informed that the ser
mon delivered by Mr. Wool was a
highly appropriate one and was
much enjoyed by the company, as
well as by others who heard It.
Tobacco Selling Higher.
The breaks on the Oxford market
continue to hold up well and large
quantities were sold Friday and
Tuesday. The sales were largely at
tended and the sellers were much
pleased with the high averages. On
Friday there were a number of Per
son county farmers on the breaks,
and among them was Mr. T. B.
Reade, of Mt. Tirzah, who pocketed
for a large load the following
'shingle knocker" prices at the John
son Warehouse: $20, 30, 37, 35, 48,
45, 50, 30, 20, 11 and 12.
Farmers will make no mistake by
selling the balance of their crop on
the Oxford market as they will be
certain to reap the cream of the mar
ket on all grades, from the common
est to the finest.
A Sweet Little Girl Gone up Higher.
The shadows fall across a happy
home In Oxford, and the light
of a lovely existence has been shut
out forever, and the spirit of a pure,
sweet and lovely little girl has gone
back to God who gave It. Alice, the
5 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
John H. Bullock, died on Thursday
night after two weeks Illness and
closed on efirth her beautiful life, and
sent the keen arrow of sorrow Into
the hearts of the family and friends.
She was a beautiful little girl of love
ly character and held the admiration
of all who knew her to a remarkable
degree, and was the pet of the house
hold. To the bereaved parents, who
now sigh "for the touch of a dear
cherub and the sound of a sweet
voice that is still," the editor extends
his deepest sympathies. But words
are so cold "when the heart bleeds
in the yalley of death."
The funeral took place Friday after
noon at 4 o'clock from the home on
Broad street conducted by Rev. F.
M. Shamburger in a solemn and pa
thetic manner, and largely attended
by sorrowing relatives and friends.
The interment was in Elmwood
Cemetery and the floral offerings were
profuse and beautiful, completely
covering the mound beneath which
sweetly sleeps all that is mortal of a
precious gem.
"The little bed is empty now,
The little clothes laid by;
A mother's joy, a father's pride,
In death's cold arms doth He,
I take these little lambs, said He,
And fold them to my breast;
Protection they shall find In Me,
And be forever blest."
It Saved His Leg.
P. A. Danforth of LaGrange, Ga,, suffered

Judge Cooke Afraid of Smallpox.
The Durham Herald of the 2Gth
says: Superior court, which was a
two week's term, came to a sudden
and unexpected end yesterday. At
least Judge Cooke announced that
the court would adjourn with the
ending of the day but said that he
would be In the court room for a
short time this morning In order to
sign the minute docket and make
such orders as the lawyers wanted.
The judge has the smallpox scare.
Yesterday morning he noticed that
one of the jurors, Mr Geo. E. Booth,
had some kind of a breaking out on
his forehead and began to enquire
after his health at once. Mr, Booth
said that he was not feeling well and
this caused Judge Cooke to order
him from the jury and the room. He
then announced that the court would
come to an end with the ending of
the day.
In making the announcement of his
decision Judge Cooke said that he
would come back here immediately
after the Granville court In May and
hold a week's term to make up for
the loss caused by adjourning now.
He said that he did not want to take
any chances of coming in contact
with the disease that Is so much
feared.

Beautiful Easter.
Next Sunday closes the Lenten sea

much Indeed it means all: for nnnn
the resurrection of Christ Is based
our only hope of life hereafter; for If
Christ was not raised then Is onr
preaching and our faith vain.
