Mr. Woody has seven sons and one daughter.three of the sons were happily married since last Christmas. Mr. James H. Woody, the oldest son, who has been in the TJ. S.

New Enterprises, Electric Light and Water Works, Large Stemmery, &c We are glad to note several improve ments in Oxford which will no doubt mean much for the town's future. The Imperial TobaroCo., is erect ing a mammoth tobacco fctemmery near the Southern freight depot. This will put some money into cricuiation and help our laboring people as well as the business men. The enlargement of the Cotton Mills is another sign of improvement in the town. The large addition made to the mill is now almost completed. This shows that the mill is being successful ly operated and speaks well for its fu ture. Work has also commenced on the Oxford Manufacturing Co,, near the Furniture Facl ory. This company wi 11 be owned and operated by Mr. C. D. Ray, of Oxford, and Dawson Burwell, of Stovall. The company will manu facture bogheads staves, barrel, heads, etc. Under the successful manage ment of these gentlemen it should do well. . The Furniture Company has also been greatly repaired and improved, and preparing to increase the volume of its business, which is already very prosperous. We are indeed glad that the long needed looked for and expected water works and lights for the town are now in sight. The pipes for the waterworks are now being laid on Main street,and Mr. Milner will fast put the work to completion, and the electirc lights will soon be put in by Mr. Goldback. Oxford will then need only one big thing to (you know what is reader) make it an up-to date town. These attractions "together with its ether de sirable qualities as a residence town will draw many good people here as home -seekers. To all such people we extend a hearty welcome. An ice factory, long needed here will soon be built, which will prove a great convenience to our people. We believe other improvements will follow soon. CONCLUSION OF THE MEETING. Great Good Accomplished, Nearly 100 Conversions, Lecture, etc. The meeting which has been in pro gress for over two weeks at the Bap tist church, closed on Tuesday even ing. This has been one of the most sue cessful meetings ever held in Oxford, and we believe has been producitve of much good. Large numbers have made a profession of religion. Thirty members were received into the Bap tist church on last Sunday morning, and a good number more are to join so n. The other churches of the town will also doubtless receive" many as a result of the meeting. We do not know the number of professions to date, but suppose the number to be nearly 100. We believe the efforts of this excellent meeting will be long felt in Oxford. The pastors and people of the different churches have become aroused and their mutual labors and prayers have been crowned with a glorious meeting. Dr. Wharton by his simple, earnest vet eloq uent gospel sermons,his sweet tempered Christian character and per sonal maguetism has drawn about him a large host of friends and admirers, who will much regret to see him leave the town A special and most helpful and in teresting feature of the meetings has been tbe splendid singing botn by the choir and congrr gation. Dr. Wharton himself sings as tew can sing. Some times he singsjselections alone and al ways joins in theongregational sing Miss .Louise Buchanan, who is a splendid musician, and the efficient and skilled organist of the church, has presided at tne organ during the en tire meeting at both the afternoon iind evening Fervices to the satisfac tion and delight of all those who at tended the services. We clip the following from an ar tide in the News and Observer from t he pen of Rev. J. A. Stradley concern ing Dr. Wharton and the meeting: He is a man of commanding appear ance, a ery nne speater, very clear, simple and forceful in his presentation of Bible truth. One of the most intelli gent men of the town said : "He does not make any display 01 learning, but I like to hear him." Dr. Wharton is a good illustration of the fact that a tnorough education enables a person to present thoughts in language and style so simple and plain, tnat a cniia can understand what he says. Dr. Wharton sings, none but old fa miliar songs, sueh as everybody can sing. The tinging is soul stiring. He is an untiring worker. He holds three services a day. One of them at the Seminary, for the special benefifr of the young ladies of this institution. Nearly every one who was not a Chris tian before, has made a public profess ion of faith in Christ. Two services are held each day in the Baptist church, in which all denominations take a part. The congregations are the largest that has ever attended relig ious meetings in Oxford. At the close of the meeting Tuesday evening Dr. Wharton was asked by a rising invitation to come back to Ox ford again in October and hold anoth er meeting On Wednesday evening at the Opera House Dr. Wharton delivered a Lec 1 ure on his trip through Europe and the Holv Land, which proved a most interest and entertaining one one of the best heard here for years. A large and most enthusiastic audience greeted him, and all who attended ex pressed themselves as delighted with the lecture. Dr. Wharton sang the Holv Citv to the delight of the audi ence. Salem Sayings. Al arge audience greeted our pastor Rev. W. H. Puckett at Salem last Sunday. A good sermon and a pleas ant service. There were many visitors from a distance at Salem last Sunday. A verv sad and nainful accident hap tened to little Casper Critcher son of Air. and Mrs. W. N. Critcher, last Sat urday. He went out to drive up the horse for his father.and the horse new lv shod kicked him in the mouth and tore his mouth, nose and face nearly all to pieces, the heel of tbe shoe strik ing him on the forehead.
