The Minor Warehouse Is splendidly located for a manufacturing enter prise, and suitable for the manufac ture of chairs. Why not have a chair factory lu Oxford? An orphan boy by the name of Medlock died at the Orphan Asylum Monday after a few days Illness, and was burled Tuesday afternoon In the Orphan cemetery.

Many of us have visited the Van Ainburg Shows In years past and re collect with pleasure the splendid performance this show always gave the public. It is one of the shows that gives all It advertises and its motto, "Please the people and they will please you," Is the corner-stone upon which the great success of the Van Amburg Show is built. Start ing more than forty years ago with a small wagon show, today It travels all over the country In Its own mag nlficent cars by special trains. The Improvement on the old-time per formance is just as great, and every act given in Its big tents is of a high order and strictly up-to-date. Ele phants, camels, and a large collec tion of trained animals and ponies are seen in the grand free street pa rade on the morning of the day of exhibition.

Has Seven Independent Buyers With Large Orders. it is a pleasure to the editor to in form the farmers that Oxford is In a better condition than for several years as to Independent buyers as we now have seven who hover over a pile of tobacco with large orders to fill. Along with the most excellent tobacco combine buyers we can confidently look forward to an ex ceedingly live market this season. The highest averages on all grades will be the watchword on our ware house floors, and of course the far mers will be sure to take advantage of the great opportunity to locate in their jeans big money for their crop. Sales continue now every day, but Friday was a regular hummer as all the warehouses had good breaks, and the town was alive with our farmer friends. Stalk tobacco is taking the place of primings, and sells well. Most of the offerings were me dium grades which are selling higher than last year. ' It has long since been given up that the Oxford market reaches the highest averages throughout the crop than any in this section of the State, and farmers will put money in their "inside pocket don't you know" by selling their crop In Oxford.
