The County Commissioners met J Monday to hear complaints as to listing taxes and they had but little to do as but few people appeared be fore the board. Tjouis Evans, probably the oldest colored man In the county, died near Oxford Friday. It is claimed that he was about 100 years old and was an old issue negro. -Prof. Robt. Klttrell was sworn In Monday and entered upon the duties of Superintendent of Public Schools of Granville county, and will prove an able and efficient Superin tendent. The Kansas City Star Is kicking because of the extravagance of ex penditure it requires to fit out a Summer girl. She may come high but the Summer girl la worth the! money every time. Mr. Thomas Hi.bgood, who has been in bad health for several years, died at his home near Sunset Mon day night, and was burled Tuesday afternoon, the burial being largely attended by neighbors and friends. The Public I edgt r Is pleased to learn that the Sunday School Excur sion from Creed moor to Raleigh on the 7th proved a pleasant and suc cessful one and much credit Is due the committee who had theexcurslon In charge. Oxford has a great health-giving fountain In the flowing artesian sul phur well, and hundreds of gallons are carried away from the well every day. This clear as a crystal water has greatly benefitted a large number of our people. The long-looked for improvement of Raleigh street has at last been commenced and Chief Sam Wheeler says when he gets through with the work the people will have no right to kick, as he intends to put It in first-class condition. The splendid water tank of the water work, electric light and ice company has been completed and the Messrs. Guiles are to be congrat ulated upon the excellency of tbelr work of construction. On the two front pillows of the foundation is "Oxford, 1905." It looks like Creedmoor is to get ahead of Oxford. This go-ahead little town Is to have a $5,000 brick hotel and another bank la assured. It la true that we have a pretty lit tle hotel, but the demand is for a more modern and larger one in keep lng with the progress of the town. "Sweetly breathe the Lyres Above' which was rendered at the Methodist Church two weeks ago by a quartette, will be repeated next Sunday night. Mis Eva Minor will also slug a solo "Babylon," by C. T. Howell, both of which will be greatly appreciated by lovers of beautiful music. Mr. D. T. Winston, of Oak Hill Township, was in Oxford Monday, and informed us that the tobacco crops of' Messrs. L.. M. Carrington and James Newton were almost ruined Friday by a severe hall storm. The crop of Mr. J. K. Clement was also damaged to some extent. Be yon a saint or a sot, when dead how soon forget ! lour attention Is called to the Administrator's notice of D. S. Ful ler In another part of this paper. The courts gave Dewey six yeara, but many a negro has been given or sceanng a nog with no chance of getting out of It. Durham Herald. ecau special attention oi our r eaders to the chango In the adver tisement of '.I. Robert Wood, the fur- i 4 1 1 uibiire ueaier, undertaker and em- balmer, on the 4th page. We learn that Re v. Crudup Dun can, or West Virginia, who is on a visit to his old home near Stem, oc cupied the pulpltJ of Tally Ho Baptist Church Sunday night. His old time friends heard his able. discourse with pleasure and pride. . It is believed the time has fully come when the negro must help him self; that he must appreciate, recog nize, respect anl encourage his own people; that the salvation of the ne gro is In the negro hlmseir; that the sooner he stands on his own feet and thinks and chooses for himself, the better. Look to Your Interest. We hear considerable kicking about the road from Oxford to Creedmoor, and for the benefit of our tobacco market and the business in terests of Oxford we urge our ware housemen and business men to get together at once and take steps to have this great Oxford feeder put In first-class condition. Veterans Reunion at Durham. The veterans In Durham are pre paring for a big reunion and celebra tion next month. This will be held at Lakewood Park on August 17. A dinner will be served all who attend; there will be music and several pa triotic speeches. On this occasion It Is hoped to have the Inmates of the Soldiers Home, Raletgh.to enjoy the occasion with their comrades. The Flat River Association. - A large number of people passed through town Tuesday morning go ing to the meeting of the Flat River Baptist Association, which met the same day with the Baptist Church at Knap of Reeda. and continued in ses sion until Thursday. Quite a number of Oxford people attended and speak in high terms of the meeting and tt.e gracious hospitality of the good peo ple of that section. . Many Roads luterested- It Is said that the main stock holders In the Durham & South Caro Una road are high officials In the Ssaboard, Atlantic Coast lAne and the Norfolk & Western roads. This will give the Norfolk & Western a southern outlet from . Durham, the Seaboard will have a nearer route on its trip south, and the Coast Line can come into Durham with Its trains, if thla la desired. There are great pos sibilities for this road in the future. Smallpox in the State. The bulletin of State board of health issued says that 78 counties were Infected with small-pox during the past twelve months, with a to tal of 7,377 cases, of which 3.G36 were of which 13 were white. The disease has greatly Increased, but is decided ly less fatal, though it may assume a fatal type at any time. Scotland county led In the number of caaea, having 2,350, nearly haif white. Ashe- vllle second, with 340. Dr. Wharton at Baptist Church. Dr. Wharton arrived in Oxford Saturday and occupied the pulpit of the Baptlat church Sunday morning and night and our people thronged the pretty edifice to hear the true man of God expound the Word. Our people have fallen In love with Dr. Wharton and heard him gladly. The elnging at these services were moat excellent, especially the quartette composed of Messrs. Darius Katman, II . M. -Shaw, Ij, T. Buchanan, and Tommle Howell. Gathered to Her Reward. Mrs. Maurice Daniel, one of the beat christian women of Oak Hill Township, and the devoted wife of our old friend Mr. M. S. Daniel, pass ed beneath the shadows on Thursday auu ia ioreyer at rest, tsne was a member of Mountain Creek Baptist church, and one of the salt of the earth, ever ready to do an act of kindness and greatly beloved by all her neighbors. May the Blessed Re deemer sustain and comfort the be reaved ones In the trying hour. Sues Several Newspapers. Editor A. J. McKelway, of Presby terian Standard, has sued Mr. J. P Caldwell, the distinguished editor of the Charlotte Observer for $25,000 and the paper for $50,000, on account of one of the most scathing articles we have ever read. We take it that Editor Caldwell must have known what he was talking about when he Indulged In such plain language about a brother editor. He also sues the Raleigh Times, Charlotte Chronicle and Greenville, S. C. News for $25,000 each for copying the ar ticle. Do You Want Water and Lights? Electric Oxford, N C, July 12. 1905.

July 14 3t MODEL. TOWN. How far are We From This Ideal' What Steps Must we Take to Reach It? Th' re Is no perfect town, but one composed of Intelligent, thrifty cltl- Sens;that Is Industrially wideawake; that has manufacturing enterprises to employ ita citizens; that has In stitutions to care for the education of young; that has the public con veniences of modern towns.that has sufficient taxable property to sup port public necessities, that Is health ful and that la progressive, such a town may be called a model town. Oxford has many of these condi tions. Ah to the most Important healthfulness; the census gives u next to the lowest death rate In the United States. We have some proa perous manufactories, a cotton mill, a buggy factory, a furniture factory, an ice plant, three wood working plants, and tobacco stemraerles. We have not the largest but In many re spects the best leaf tobacco market In the State. We have a new electric lighting plant and water work sys tem, after the latest, most Improved pattern. Within the last five years, under progressive commissioners and the Immediate supervision of the hnstiing Dr. J. P. Stehnan we have made morestreetlmprovementsth n In the whole previous history of the town. Our schools, public and prl vate.have won deserved renown. We have by general consent one of the prettiest towns In the State Indeed In the whole South. Wherein then do we fall short? for with all our advantages we still lack many things. There la much more work that must be done on our streets to make them passable in winter. That they are not so now Is not the fault of the commissioners or Dr. J. P. Stedman, butls due to lack of money. Where Is the needed money to come from? Progress never stands still. One Improvement always calls for anoth er. Waterworks almost necessitate sewerage. The water Is hardly avail able for private use without means of getting rid of the used water. A sewerage system will probably be a matter of alow growth. Individuals will unite here and there, as they have done In one case, and put In a private sewer. When these become numerous the town will have to take charge and systematize the discon nected sewers. The commissioners ought right now to have a survey made for a complete system, and compel lndtrldnals t.o-4ompy-wIt the survey as to grade and other mat ters, otherwise there will be great difficulty and expense when the town puts In a complete system. But sew- era coat money. Where la tne money to come from? With a sewerage system with the excellent water which the new artr- slan well furnishes, and with the re moval of surface privies and hog pens Oxford ought to have the low est death rate In the United States. How are we to pay for the neces sary Improvements? We cannot do It with the present population and the existing taxable property. We have reached thecrlsls In our history. We must go forward now or we must go backwards. Wemust jump on the flood tide of prosperity or the lurch will leave us in the shallows. In order to Increase taxable property and the values of existing property we must have more people. We .... i 1 .5 iUVvt ougnt to nave nve tuousauu munut- tants, With a population of five thousand.with our generous natural advantages, our rolling surface and our wide shaded streets, with our re cent Improvements as a few others to come, with our factories and our mercantile houses, with our good schools and churches, with our hos pitable people and above all, with our healthful climate and good water, we might easily make ours a model town the Ideal place of residence In the whole South. What la needed now Is to let peo ple know about our advantages. We must advertise. Why not form immediately a commercial club to advertise Oxford and to take the lead in pushing forward needed improve menta. All of us annlmated by civic pride would eurely co-operate heart Uv with such a body. All successful towns.largeor small, are made by the united efforts of pa trlotic citizens. Our hustling young sister. Creedmoor, Is to have a five thousand dollar hotel, the result of the enthusiastic co-operation of some oive eltlzens. Let us UCl V'f vu" learn a lesson. Here la a good starting point a hotel. The first number on our pro- grame of municipal Improvements mnat. l . modern hotel. It la need ed now, and it Is prerequisite to any successful advertising of the town Vlatr.nra nnrl nrnnnpctors form tneir first at least their second Impres sion of a town from the hotel. 1 er haps the railroad stations give the first lmDresaion. Let ua have imme dlately a hotel with all modern Ira Drovements and archltectuaiiy Deau tlful that It may be keeping with a beautiful town. Bilious Bdl was agitated, And was much debilitated.
