The new era of the Industrial prosperity In North Carolina has not found Ox ford a laggard behind her sister towns And during the past few years has grown wonderfully In population, wealth and Industries. Fifty years ago her citizens, caring lees for the material wealth than mental adorn ment. made her famous for culture and refinement, but In these later days the old has taken on new life aud Is now noted for push, energy and activity In business and manu factures as well a? things education al. The year 1905 has been exception ally marked by progress along all lines. In the way of municipal Improve ment water works have been estab lished and a system of electric light ing Installed. The paving of streets and sidewalks has been continued until now the town presents a very attractive appearance. Manufacturing enterprises have been multiplied. The new plants es tabllsbed during the year consist of another buggy factory, two estab lishments for the manufacture of va rious. wood products, a buggy body factory, and additions to the cotton mill and furniture factory. So that Oxford Is now rapidly coming to the front as a manufacturing town, with widely diversified Industries. Oxford has a famous leaf tobacco market where the very finest prades of the golden leaf is bought and sold. About six million pounds were sold last year and the prices realized by tne farmers were satlsfact; ry. The town's growth in population has been steady and Is now more than 50 per cent, greater than in 1900. As an Index of prosperity the deposl s In the two banks have grown to $670,- 000, showing plenty of capital for In vestment and the town's ability to take care of and to back business en terprises. During the year the loss of the Ox ford Seminary has only resulted In the construction of larger and better equipped buildings. There have been no serious disas ters, no failures, but little crime, no dissensions and no cliques. Reached by the two great trans portatlon lines of the South, the Sea board and the Southern, assuring pompetltivefrefgbt rates, with abun dant banking facilities, with an un equalled back country producing all crops known to this section, with all modern municipal Improvements, Ox ford today offers advantages for man ufacturing and business enterprises that are exceedingly attractive. And her citizens, grateful for the prosper ity of the past year, with new zeal and energy, confidently expect great er things In the year to come. W. A. DEVIN, Mayor. Oxford, N. C, Jan. 4, 1906. In connection with Mayor Devln's excellent letter the editor adds more as to the progress Oxford is making along all lines. The growth of the town during 1905 has been most grat ifying. There were several new en terprises started and Improvements In a number of old ones, besides many general Improvements In the town. Among the new enterprises maybe mentioned: 1. An up to-date Electric Light and Ice and Water Plant, which Is a great convenience to the town. 2. The Immense steam plant of the Imperial Tobacco Co, erected at a cost of $40,000, enabling them to han dle an Increased amount of tobacco. This company Is here represented by Col. W. B. Ballou, one of the best to bacconlsts In the State, and Its vol ume of business Is steadily Increasing. 3. A modern Storage House has been erected by Dr. E. T. White, one of Oxford's oldest and successful leaf tobacco dealers, at a cost of several thousand dollars. 4. A new barrel stave Factory own ed and operated successfully by Mr. C. D.Jtay. 5. A new buggy company under the management of Messrs. King Bros. and Mr. Ben K. Lasslter, which is starting off nicely and promises to do a good business. 6. A successful Buggy Body Fac tory owned by Isaac Harris & Co. 7. A new modern up-to-date Steam Laundry operated by Mr. James L. Parham which Is a great convenience to our people. The following other Improvements may be mentioned: The main building of Oxford Or phan Asylum has been beautified by the addition of large porches. Much work has been done on the streets of the town, all of the side walks of the business part now being laid with granolithic pavements. Two Fire Companies have been or ganized, and a large fire-alarm bell has been placed In the tower of the Opera Fouse. The Exchange Hotel has been en larged, thoroughly renovated and two addition added along with nice porches, all repainted, making it now one of the most comfortable and con venient ot the small hotels of the State. The Exchange Is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Lon. F. Smith, caterers who appeals to the palate of travel ing men. The Taylor Cannady Buggy Co. Is the crack enterprise of Oxford and continues to Increase Its volume of business, having sold 4,000 buggies In 1905, thus making a handsome divi dend for the stockholders. The Oxford Furniture Co. enlarged the plant and did a largely Increased business. The Oxford Realty Co. has Justbeen organized, the object being the devel opment of the town and county prop' erty. We would call the attention of this company to the pressing need of more dwellings In the town and hope tb?y may be able to inaugurate some movement for the erection of dwellings in Oxford. We often near of people who wish to move to Ox ford but cannot rent a house, and In several Instance two families occupy one house. An event In the history of 1905, was the dedication of the handsome new Methodist Church on College street, all indebtedness having been settled. All the schools of Oxford are In ex- rcellent conditio The large and com moSa Oj&rd Seminary buildings were eoiiipleted during the year and the school has passed an unusually prosperous year in spite of the de struction of the new administration building. TheOraded School under the direc tion of-Prof. D. H. Bland Is In a flour ishing condition, and the attendance Is Increasing. The other schools of the town are doing well. As a town we should feel proud of the progress we have made during the year just closed. Our growth has been substantial and gratifying and we commence the new year with brighter prospects than ever before. For the Public Ledger we are glad to say that our business has been sat isfactory and It Is steadily growing. The efforts we have made for the growth and development, of the town have been, we are glad to say, appre ciated i by most ot the businessmen who have given us a liberal advertls- tlslng and job printing patronage. There are som , however, who con tinue to reap the benefit of the trade- pulling power of their county paper and yet give the paper no patronage in return. To all such we would urge a more liberal treatment of their home paper, both Trom the stand point cf their own Interest and also from an appreciation of the services we render. To prove . to them that advertising pays we will give one column one month free of charge with the understanding that we have the privilege of adding one line at the bottom of the advertlsementand ob llgatlng themselves to comply with what that line states. Resolutions of Refiret. We the undersigned committee In behalf of the members and officers of the Presbyterian church of Oxford have passed the following resolutions expf-tftslve of sincere regret at the de parture of Rev. John E Wool, who resigned the pastorship of the church In this place to take charge of the Presbyterian church In Wilson. Resolved, That In his departure the church sustains a serious loss and the community a most estimable and useful man. Resolved, That as a pastor he was most faithful In every duty, always eager to minister to the call of the sick and afflicted, rendering himself a welcome visitor in the homes of the people. As a minister In the pulpit, In the prayer meeting and In the Sun day School he was faithful In every calling, and by his jolly life and con versation exerted a lasting Influence for good on the young people of the community. Resolved. That In giving him up we, realize that we are parting with a friend "upon whose like we do not often look." We most affectionately bid him farewell, praying that "he shall turn many to righteousness and shall shine as the stars forever and ever." II. G. COOPER, W. I. HOWELL, S. W. COOPER. Committee.

Hood, a well known young man of this city, committed suicide together to-day by taking laudanum and died In a close embrace, the deed having been done In a house In a ques tionable quarter of the city, owned by a negress, Jane Beasley. Hood rentfidJtlie room last night and later took Violet there. The woman who owns the house noticed nothing un usual until about noon when her at tention was attracted by heavy breathing In the room. She knocked at the doors and windows but re ceived no reply. She then telephoned for policemen and relatives of Hood. Members of the police force responded at once and broke open the door to find the woman dead and the man drawing. his last gasps. Nine empty laudanum bottles on a table In the room told the tale; the-y were two ounce bottles and bore the label of a Greensboro drugstore. Be side the empty laudanum bottles, on the table was found a note from Hood to his wife, enclosing a ring and a watch for his two little girls and a $2,000 life Insurance policy for himself. The note gave no reason for the ter rible deed. Hood had been on a debauch since Christmas eve. He was a dope fiend. He had become Infatuated with the woman and only recently his wife and relatives had persuaded him to leave her.
