The lire work of some people we know seems to be criticising others. Water on the brain crazes as many people as whiskey on the stom ach. Mr. H. J. Council has added an other room to his cottage on Gilliam street. The front fence of the Graded School lot has been repaired and will le painted. Mrs. Susan Williams has Improv ed the front fence to her residence on Front street. For the next two Sundays Rev. F. M. Sham burger will not have any night service at the Methodist church. The attention of parents Is di rected to the advertisement of Mr. .1. O. Howard, who runs a most excel lent school at Stem. Your special attention Is called to sale of several tracts of lands ad vertised In another column by An drew J. Harris, Trustee. Miss Annie Hamme's friends will be glad to learn she Is rapidly conva lescing and will be able to open her school of music in September. When you look around for a trading point bear In mind that the Oxford Tobacco Market has opened up with the brightest prospects. A large number of our your g la dles and gentlemen greatly enj yed a a picnic at Cheatham's Mill Monday and the fishing on dry land was fine. The big meetings reminds the preachers that they can live without any groans, and departing leaves behind them baskets full of (chicken) bones. Plantation philosophy: Ymi hub mighty seldom knowd it ter fall dat de man o perttentlon falls short. le big Irish pertater ain't found under de big vines. We are at a loss to know why some people are allowed to block up the side walks and others are not. Feed all "out of the same spoon" or repeal the law. During the past week Mayor Devln was kept busy a few mornings looking after the disturbers of the peace and made them shell out some of their wealtn. Graft may be a nice thing to take home to the loved ones while nobody finds It out, but it is hard on them when the crash comes and father, dear father, has to put on a striped suit. Nightly our side walks are filled with the sweet little boys and girls carrying Japanese lamps. Capt. Tom Winston commands the College street brigade assisted by Master Henry Shaw. Capt. VV. E. Massenburg has again leased the Opera House and Is already booking first-class shows for the coming season. The house will be lit up by electricity and other Im provements will be added. The boys and girls will get their books together as the Graded School will open on the 4th or September and will keep them studying for nine months. Pnrents get your children ready and enter them the first day. The last Legislature passed alaw requiring all the State Institutions to make reports to the State Board of Internal Improvements showing just what has Income of the money ap propriated to such investigations. It seems to us that this law is a wise one. We are pleased to say that our farmer friends and others who travel Raleigh road will cease now to com plain of Its bad condition as the Town Commissioners has had it macadamized Chief Wheeler will now turn his attention to Front street. The editor of 1 he Richmond News- Leader is a philosophic cuss. He says: I ne poor man r.as one conso lation. If he does not get money when he needs It, he Is always sure to need It when he gets It. Still the rich man comes very nearly thinking so too." So, like In death, we are all brought on a level while living. Miss Josephine Wood.the young est daughter of Mr. ana Mrs. J. is..

Is still very 111 we are sorry to learn. Young ladies who are going off to school should be certain to read the advertisement of Landls & Eas ton on the 4th page. In fact the an nouncement Is of much interest to their numerous customers, who are asked to look out for their fall an nouncement. Men of all ages who are Interest ed In a nice fitting fall suit should not fall to read the attractive announce ment of Louisville, Ky., famous Tai lors, RIdgely-Walker Co., as their ex pert representative will le at Long, Blalock & Hasktns Monday, August 28th.

One of the neatest, best kept and most progressive stores In Oxford Is the popular firm of Council & Up church; furniture dealers and under takers. While passing through their stores recently we were impressed with the quality and variety of their stock. They carry a select line of furniture, and are excellent cabinet makers and upholsterers. They also handle pictures, housefurnlshlngs etc., but make a specialty of under takers goods, and keep In stock an elegant line of caskets. They have one of the nicest hearses in the State and as funeral directors are serving our people with much satisfaction and are deserving of a liberal pat ronage. They are certainly honest accommodating and capable bus! ness men and deserve to succeed. SST'Safe deposit boxes for rent modern system, la the vaults of the the Bank of Granville.

Why send your work away and buy yourgoodselsewht re, wnen you can get them as cheap at home, and thereby help your neigh bors and build up your town, too? Progressive town heed these thing. In fact a town cannot be progressive without doing so. The history of Charlotte, Durham, Atlanta and other towns which have built ud il lustrates this point. How have they done so? By standing together, talk ing and pushing their towns, and by patronizing home people and home enterprises. Progressive men forget small dislikes for the public good, knowing that In business the public go;d Is the Individual good. What ever builds up a town increases the valueof property. Increases the vol ume of trade and helps every man In town. Stand by your town! Spend your money here, and push forward with tongue and pen and patronize our good little city. Now that Oxford fs bnlldlng up let our people heed these things. Let us be above petty things, stop our bickerings (it we have any,) and lend our aid to build up the town. Death of Mrs. W. L.
