Prof. Cecil, of Thomasvllle, has just closed a successful commercial school, which he has been conducting at night for six weeks In the old bank building. He had 28 pupils and all were well pleased with their Instruc tion. Arch Taylor won the prize (a fountain pen) for greatest Improve ment in writing, with Andrew Spen cer a close second. Unveiling of Monument. About twenty members of Oxford Camp, Woodman of the World, went over to Bethel Hill, Person county, last Sunday where. In the presence of more than 200 people, unveiled a mon ument erected to the memory of the late J. T. Wiley, who was a member of the Camp. Everything passed off all right, says Mr. J. J . Medford.con slderlng the hot weather and long drive. Good Sermon and Fine Singing. The services Sunday night at the Methodist church were unusually good. There was a large congrega tion present and Rev. F. M. Sham burger delivered a short, but excel lent sermon. The singing was very fine Indeed, a.s Miss Eva Minor ren dered a beautiful offertory, while a quartette composed of Misses Eva and Julia Minor and Messrs. Hasklns and Farabow delighted the large audience with a finely rendered song. Off For the Encampment. The Granville Grays, composed of a manly set of young men, under the command of Capt. W. A. Devln left yesterday for the encampment at Wrlghtsvllle over the Seaboard Rail road. Chaplain, Rev. J. E. Wool.ac companied the boys and will look after their spiritual wants. . The Granville Grays is said to be crack Company of the Regiment and will no doubt continue to sustain this reputation. We wish them a merry time by the sea and a safe return to Oxford. The Thing to Do. If you are over-tired "too tired to sleep," as we sometimes say bathe the neck and temples with hot water. Bathe the back of the neck particu larly. This seems to relax the mus cles and veins that supply the brain with blood. Lie down to sleep with peace, lor it win come sureiy. 1 ne same treatment will wonderfully re fresh during the day. A headeehe may often be relieved, often cured, by hot applications to the back of the neck. These simple suggestions from an exchange are worthy of trial. Oxford Ice Company. The Oxford Ice Company has been chartered by the Secretary of State with a capital of $25,000. It is ex pected that the freezing process will begin In about 10 days. Mr. Sam M. Wheeler will have charge of the local trade and deliver ice dally at 35 cents per hundred pounds. This will be a death blow to the Oxford Ice Trust, which will melt away not even leav ing a short pound to tell the tale of its long existence. We would like to see some of the other trusts melt away as easy as this one will. For the Health of the People. Now is the time for the health of ficer of the town to Inspect the back lots and alleys and see that they are pat In a thorough sanitary condition lime should be sprinkled freely every two or three days. The health of the town has been good for years, and we should, do all in our power to keep up its reputation. Nothing adds more to the attractiveness of a town than clean streets and alley ways. Every one should lend a help ing hand and try to make Oxford a clean and attractive town. iSySafe deposit boxes for rent modern system, In the vaults of the the Bank of Granville. DEATH OF MR. J. F. ROGERS Funeral and Burial Tuesday Afternoon At 6 O'clock. Late Monday afternoon the sad news was communicated from friend to friend that Foster Rogers was dead. His death was expected for several days, and at 6:15 o'clock his spirit took Its everlasting flight. He was stricken about 7 weeks ago with paralysis at Goldsboro where he made his home, being engaged In the insurance. He was taken to Rex Hospital. Raleigh, for treatment and from there was brought to the home of his sister, Mrs. R. P. Taylor, InT Oxford where he continued to grow worse until death came. He was the oldest son of Col C. M. Rogers, tx-Sherlff of Granville, and since he left Oxford a number of yearn j ago has made his home In Richmond and Goldsboro and no doubt the news of his death was received with sincere sorrow as wherever he lived be made many friends as he was very companionable. He was 46 years of age, quiet In his manner a man of sterling qual ities and was held In the highest es teem by all who knew him In his home county. Mr. Rogers was a member of the Episcopal church and we trust has entered into the rest prepared for the children of God eternally in the Heaven. His father, brother and devoted sisters along with physicians and friends did all that could possibly be done to stay the hand of the fa tal disease until he fell on sleep. The funeral took place Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock from the resi dence of Mr. R. P. Taylor, conducted by Rev. Francis Hllllard and largely attended by sympathizing friends. The pall bearers were: Mr. T. M. Washington, or Wilson, Mayor W. T. Clement, of Enfield, Major Wm. Landls, Messrs. Frank Edwards, W. II. Hunt.R. B. Hlnes and Luther W. Stark. The Interment was in Elmwood (Cemetery where all that was mortal of our friend was laid gently to rest and the mound covered with beauti ful flowers. The editor offers his sympathy to the bereaved ones and hopes that they may be enabled to see the silver lining to the dark cloud of sorrow that is now hovering over them. More Work for a Commercial Club. La st week we sho wed the need of a Commercial Club, and urged the for mation of one. There are many things necessary to the growth of a town, which will never be done un less it be by concerted action. We may all see tne neea 01 sometnmg. but no one makes a move because it is no more the business of one than of another. That Is why a club Is so effective In building up a town. It sees what ought to be done and then goes ahead and does It. Take for Instance, the matter of a schedule on the Seabof rd road that will enable the farmers of the south- side to reach Oxford in the morning. Everybody sees at a glance how Im portant that is how vitally it af fects the tobacco market; everybody knows such a schedule would give us at least a part of the tobacco trade which goes to other markets; everybody recognizes how easily the trouble might be remedied by caus ing the morning freight from Durham to reach Dlckerson's in time to con nect with the morning train from Henderson, which Is due here at 10. We all see the trouble and how easily It might be removed, but just be cause It Is everybodys business to urge the Seaboard officials to make this simple change in schedule, for that reason it is nobody's business, nothing is done, nothing will be done except by organized effort, and soon the valuable trade of the southslde will be gone forever. Do not our business men yet realize the necessity of a Commercial Club? Prisoner Escapes. Jailor Charley Turner was absent In the country Tuesday and James Mangum, the Janitor of the court bouse, went to the jail and fed the prisoners. He wanted to give them some fresh water and opened the cell door to reach for the bucket, with one hand resting on the door, almost as quick as lightning, Jim says Bill James, a convict, jerked his hand loose, jumped out the cell and out of the main door and opened the gate, and before Mangum could close the cell door in order to prevent the es cape of others and give the alarm James was out of reach flying as fast as his legs would carry him. Several went to look for him but the jailbird had flown. Mr. Turner lost a boarder while Mangum was the blankest looking individual In town. The Farmers Institute. The gentlemen representing the Agricultural Department at Raleigh sent out to discuss the important matters that pertain direct to the in terests of the farmers of the State were In Oxford Tuesday. They were met In Court Room by about 50 far merd who listened very attentively to the various subject discussed du ring the day, among which were how to make their own fertilizer, to feed and raise stock and the cultivation of the soil, etc. The gentlemen were plain practical speakers and discussed their subjects in such a way as to be well under stood. We are sorry so few of our farmers attendedbut most of them were having a hard fight with Gen Green, owing to the recent heavy rains. . Subscribe to Public Ledger. (orriiog and (Joing;.
