Askew, an employe of the Buggy Body Factory, while running a jointing machine Friday accident ally got the two last ringers on his left hand cut off. The pain and loss of blood caused him when revived was brought up town to Dr. S. H. Cannady'soffice.andthe doctor had to put Mr. Askew under the Influence of chloroform before he could dress the wound. We are glad to learn that the wound is healing nicely. It is a saying of longstand ing "that people cannot be too par ticular around machinery." To Sell or Not to Sell is the Question. Southern Tobacco Journal says Col. John Cunlnarham and others are advising the farmers not to sell their tobacco this year too rapidly. In other words the planters are being advised to hold their tobacco for good prices. This is good advice so far as It goes, but under certain circum stances it might not work well. If tobacco starts off high, and prices hold up then we would advise far mers to sell. If it is low we would say hold as Jong as possible. There is a homely old saylnsr that "it is a good time to kill a hog when he Is fat." Thought they were Up Against an Ice Famine. The people of Oxford last Sunday thought they were up against an Ice famine and a regular howl went up from every section of town, owing to the failure of the Ice man to put in his appearance during the morning. The customers made it so hot for Mr. Sam Wheeler, the local agent, over the phone that he had to leave home, and run and start his wagon around and the people were cooled off by 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Many peo ple went to the Ice factory for Ice and could not be supplied. The morning was very hot and great was the de mand for frozen mineral water. It Is said the President of the old original ice trust laughed in his sleeve when he heard how badly the new Ice dealer had disappointed a swel tering people. Sacred Concert at Baptist Church. the sa A great musical treat was cred concert given in the liaptlst church Sunday night.

Smith" company of veterans took place at 9 o'clock Sunday morning, in Elm wood cemetery conducted by Rev. F. M: Shamburger. A goodly number of friends were in attendance and touchlngly sang a hymn as they laid the old veteran comrade In his grave by the side of his wife and daugnter. But for a misunderstanding in re gard to the hour of the burial a large number of friends would have attend ed the services at the grave.

Water Works and Electric Lights are Here and our People are Happy. The Public Ledger having for years advocated water works and electric lights for Oxford, Is much gratified that the town at last has these con veniences, while we do not wish to take the credit all to ourselves for these Improvements, yet we believe that we can claim with becoming modesty a share of thecredltfor their establishment. In this as in other matters we have ever striven to ad vocate whatever we considered for the best interested of the town we love so well, and naturally as thelm provements come which we have es poused we are glad. The Oxford Water & Electric Co. Is now testing the water works and electric lights. On last Friday after noon the hose was attached and a test was made on Hillsboro street near the Opera House, the water be lng thrown sufficiently high to ex tlngulsh fire In the tallest building in town. This however was not the trial test as the tank was not full of water. The water can be carried much higher when the full pressure Is put on. Among the spectators who witnessed the water test there was none more interested than Dr. John P. Stedman, Chairman of Street Com mittee, who is always interested in the welfare of the town, and is a most valuable citizen. The lights were turned on Friday nlgnt about 8 o'clock. For our part we are pleased with the lights. It Is a soft, somewhat subdued light, ow ing to the use of a globe, the latest patent, which makes a light less daz zling than the old style arc lights. The incandescent lights are rapidly being placed in the homes and busi ness houses of the town, and quite a number of our people are having wa ter put in their homes. The Ice plant, in charge of Captain Stacey, Is also In operation and is do ing well. Our people now have de livered by Mr. Sam Wheeler, t he local agent, at their doors the purest Ice made of the excellent mlueral water from tne artesian well. Three Fire Companies have been organized two of white and one col ored. Reel Company No. 1, with Mr. W. A. Parham Foreman; Hook and Ladder Company, Mr. Robert WTood Foreman, and -Mr. Fi'ank Spencer as sistant; Reel Company No. 2, com posed of colored people, Ed Shelton Foreman, and James Davis assistant. Mr. S. M. Wheeler, was elected Chief of Fire Department."" " We are glad to see the early organ ization of these companies, and hope each of them may be active and vigi lant. They should receive the hearty support of our citizens, as firemen do an important work in a town, often saving life as well as property and are entitled to the encouragement and gratitude of the people. Going back to the completion of the Water, Electric Light and Ice Plant the editor extends warmest congratulations to our public-spirit ed Board of Commissioners upon the establishment of the system, which has been successfully Installed by the Oxford Water and Electric Co., to which we also extend congratula tion. The Old Reliable on Deck. The old reliable and substantial warehouse firm, of Bullock & Mitchell again comes to the front and extends a cordial invitation to the farmers to come to the Banner Warehouse and allow them the pleasant prlvi lege of reaching the highest possible prices on all grades of tobacco for them.

He Is In new quarters at the Owen Ware house and comfortably fixed up, and closer up to- the business part of town, and waiting to extend to all his farmer friends a warm greeting and will take a delight In obtaining for them the highest averages on all grades. Of course you will give the agreeable Sol Cooper a chance to locate In your Jeans a fat pocket book after reading his message to you farmer on the 4th page of this paper. Sale of Tobacco Friday. Our Warehousemen and Buyers got a regular move on themselves Friday as tobacco rolled Into the amount of about 75,000 lbs and there was an old time bustle around the different Warehouses. The sound of the auctioneers voices was welcome music after a long rest, and the tar mers followed the sales closely to see how primings sold. The quality sold was light and chaffy and sold from $3 to $10 per hundred. Mr. Zack Lyon sprung a surprise In the way of advertising as he had supplied himself with about .500 yel low caps with his advertisement on them and when he commenced giving them out they went like hot cakes One would have thought that the yellow peril had reached Oxford from the number of yellow heads seen on the streets. The Oxford market was never In a better trim before as we have more buyers with large orders, backed by plenty of Greenback, along with the old reliables, who will pay rafter prices for all grades of tobacco. In fact farmer friends the Oxford mar ket this season will be a veritable winner on high averages. Correct Dress The "Modern Method" system of high-grade tafloring introduced by L. E.
