KITTRELL. GREATEST NEED OF OXFORD. Let our Business Men Consider This - Important Fact. Oxfoird has reason to feel gratified at her present industrial and business progress. We are now In the midst of a steady and substantial growth, and the only thing which can check this growth -will be negligence on our part and a failure on our part to see and take advantage of our op portunity. On all sides are signs of advancement and modern Improve ments : .. . V e now have In construct Ion. and soon to be completed, one of the best systems of elt ctrlc lights and water works anywhere In North Carolina. This will mean great reduction in in surance and an Increase In the value of property. - -The force Is now at work putting down the very best granolithic side walks all over the business portion of the town, which will greatly add to the value of property as well as be a great convenience and beautify the appearance of our streets. There are also several Important manufacturles going up. Among these Is the mammoth Imperial To bacco i lant near (he Southern depot, The Oxford Manufacturing Co. con ducted by Ray & Burwell for man ufacture of hogshead, staves, etc., The Glenn Body Works mar the cemetery, for the manufacture of bug gy bodies and a laVge Ice manufac turing plant soon to be put In oper ation. Thi Furniture Factory Is also being enlarged aud Its capacity great ly Increased, and a large addition to the Cotton Mills has just been com pleted. Besides all these there Is a steady growth In the resldental portion of the town. But with all these things there is still a greater need for Oxford and one which must be supplied If our town Is not to be checked In Its onward movement, and that Is a new, modern up-to-date hotel. Our people have heard this said so often we fear they do .not realize its Im portance. No town can enjoy a large growth without a first class hotel. Poor hotel facilities give a town rather a bad name. Traveling men talk about the hotel they stop at whether It is good or bad. Tneir chief pleasure on the road Is a good place at which to stop with all the modern con veniences, and when they do not find It their Impression of the town is such that they give It much free but Inju rious advertising. .But that Is not all.-, Visitors often come to Oxford to attend the various commencements of our fine schools and to visit friends and for other purposes, and desire a first-class attractive hotel at which to stop. - We are not saying anything detrl- j mental to the small hotel we have which does the best It can with Its limited capacity. Often, lndeed.they do not come here because they know of the small hotel accommdatlon. No doubt many people would come to Oxford from the North In winter and sometime in summer If they could be accommodated and hence we need a modern hotel. We have a delightful town socially. We have the second healthiest place In this great country of ours, with dry air and fine salu brious climate. These facts are known outside of the State and In It, and yet people do not come here. Why? The reason Is plain they cannot be prop erly accommodated. Many hunters from the North would come here, and have so expressed themselves, but for want of hotel facilities theyjdo not. They go to other more favored towns In that respect. Our town is losing greatly as it has been for years In cash, in. reputa tion, and in prestage by reason of our failure In not building an up-to-date hotel. Why do not some of our business men who are able build a hotel? Do they not know It will pay them financially and every other way? , Many Individuals fall to see and to use their opportunities. This is true also of towns. Shall we longer delay this Important matter? (Ian we af ford to do so? Reason and good business will answer that we cannot.

When he gets a little larger and purloins something of value, and you find It out, just laugh at It and let 11 go. When he gets Into something that calls him Into court and he is found guilty, pay the fine, curse the jury, the court and every one connected with the matter and pity the boy, and you will very soon have a splen did candidate for the gallows or the penitentiary.
