Young men desiring practical industrial training would do well to write for catalogue to President Winston, West Raleigh, N. O. Chose Seven Years. While holding a term of the Supreme Court at Augusta.Judge Walton sen tenced a man to seven years in prison for a grave crime. The prison er's couusel asked for a mitigation of the ground that the prisoners hearth was very poor. Your Honor," said he, "lam satis fied that my client cannot live out half that term, and I beg of you to change the sentence." Well, under those circumstances," said the Judge. "I will change the sentence.I will make it for life Instead of seven years." Says It Is No Joke. We learn that Mr. R. W. Winston, at a recent banquet at Chapel Hill, stated the town taxes in Htllsboro were paid by the hay raised on the streets. Whi,le the bow In this case Is drawn too long, we notice on the river lots in the corporation now owned by the Mayor of Durham, 3 stacks of hay, besides the lucerue re cently cut on tan yard lot, also owned by him amounting to two loads. So that it is no joke to say that of the 400 acres deeded by Wm. Churton for the Town of Orange, a part is still useful for agricultural purposes. Somebody Told on Him. Gossip is a humming bird with eagle wings and a voice like a foghorn. It can be heard from Dan to Bersheba and has caused more trouble than all the bedbugs, ticks, fleas, moequl tops, coyotes, grashoppers, chinch bugs, rattlesnakes, sharks, sore toes, cyclopes, earthquakes, blifszards, small pox, yellow fever, gout and in digestion that this great United States has known or will know when the universe shuts up shops and be gins the final invoice. In other words It has got war and hell both backed up in the corner yelling for lcewater. -Guernsey, Wyoming, Gazette. Sales Must Be Advertised. The Lexington Dispatch calls at tention to a new law as follows: By an act of the Legislature, all sales of real estate under mortgage, on and after August the 1st, 1905, will have to be advertised in some newspaper as well as at the court house door. The object of this act la as follows: Heretofore sales pould be made by simply advertising at the court house and three or four other places, and l,t was frequently the pase that saes would take place and the mortagers, could never know of their lands having been sold until thepurchasers would demand posses- tlon of the same. Proverbs of the Highway. Nobody wants time and tide to wait tor him. The World's far ahead of both "time and tide" now. The Gospel of Life Is a great gos- nel: but a few of us begin to learn It until Death steps in and says, "Time's up!" The very philosophers that tell you worry Is sinful, are the ones that are guilty of the sin. Strange that so many lesten to the School of Sorrow to learn the lessons Joy Is so anxious to teach. Many a good Samaritan, these days, binds up your wounds, and then sends in a bill for services ren dered, on the First. Frank Stanton In Sunny. In Honor of Miss Barbee.

Cur rln, Oxford. Raleigh Post. Davidson County Must Pay Out More Than $2,000. At a recent meeting bf the David son county commissioners the costs in the Grubb trial were footed up and It must be interesting to know how much money It takes to try a big case like this. The state's witnesses amounted to $676.03 the eherlff'a deputies' and clerks' fees amounted to $349.05. The jurors were paid $549.15 fof the vari ous expenses attendant upon their services and the sum of $450 was votr ed the defendant's witness, This was not all of the costs for the defense" witnesses, but Judge Bryan ordered this amount paid by the State be cause certain evidence was necessary and material to the State. We take these figures from the Iexington Dis patch. Enforces the Law Against Vagrancy. The vagrant law Is one of the best laws that has been passed In this State in a generation. And yet It Is not enforced at all In this town. Rigidly enforce the law and there will be less petty thieving going on. The mayof can do nothfog that will give the entire community greater satisfaction tfcan by putting the loafers to work or run them out of town. The good of the community demands that the law against va grancy the mother of crime should be applied in all its force and effect In every Instance of Its violation. Either make these Idlers and loafers go to work for some one or put them on the streets to work for the public. There Is plenty work to do hut as long as they can live at the expense or others they are too Independent to work at any honest labor. May Meet in Washjngtoji. Washington, D. p., June lflth. From an authoritative official source it is learned today that It has been practically determined that the plen ipotentiaries of Japan and RusBtafor the determination of peace terms will hold their sessions In Washing ton. Inasmuch as the efforts which have been successful In the bringing of the belligerent govenments into contact were initiated by President Roosevelt, and further that the most amiable relations exist between the United States and both Russia and Japan, this city is regarded as the "lotrlcal place" for the institution of the practical peace negotiations be tween the warring governments.

Our town was shocked Sunday afternoon when It was announced that Mr. - D. H. Shroyer, who has been assisting his father in putting down the granoltlhic sidewalks, in Oxford for the past three weeks, had committed suicide at the Currln Jlonse by taking opium poison. When it was found that he was in a dying condition Drs B. K. Hays, T. L. Booth and J. B. Williams were hastily summoned, but they could do nothing for him as the morphine or opium had about done Its work. It is supposed that he took the dose about I o'clock and died about 3 o'clock. It Is said that be drank quite heavily Saturday and he told a few people that be intended to end his life, and Mr. Wallace, who was with him took a two-ounce vial of Carbolic Acid from him Saturday and he must have gotten some mor phine or opium and drank it while there was no one in the room. It is thought that he took the poison while Mr. Wallace went to the post- office. Mr. Sbroyer's father tried to get the young man to go with him to his home in Durham Saturday after noon, but he would not do so, and old Mr. Shroyer told Mr. Wallace to look after his son which he did. Mr. D. H. Shroyer was married and leaves a wife and one child at Butler, Pa., and were Informed of his sad end. His father was communicated with and directed that his body be prepared for burial as he could not reach Oxford until Monday morning. Our people deeply sympathize with old Mr. Shroyer in the sad death of bis son. Undertaker J. Robt. Wood took charge of the remains and prepared them for burial. On Monday his father took them to Durham where they were burled Will Make Their Futnre Home in Mad ison, Wisconsin. Capt. and Mrs. W. B.

They will be greatly missed from the social and religious life of the town in which they have long been prominent and honored figures. Capt, Shaw is a member of the Henderson bar, and one of the most popular speakers of this section. He is a man of sterling worth and Christian character, a leader in all that makes for the best life of the town. He was a member of the famous campany of the Vlr glna Military Institute who won their spurs at the battle of New Mar ket, and few can speak so apprecia tively and eloquently of the troubled days of 'ei-'C. Mr- and Mpa. Shaw have two sons In Madison, Messrs. Will and Ed. Shaw, and a daughter, Mrs. Nathan Straus, and desire to reside near them in the future. They carry the cordial regard good wlsheB of the town with them to their new home. Henderson Gold Leaf. 500 Members of the Sunday Schools of Oxford Arrive at 8:45.
