The Salisbury Post says there
not a single negro In the Rowan
County Home. This fact Is accounted
for on the theory that no matter how
destitute a colored person may be he

to the confinement and restrictions of
a County Home.

time, are Improving.
Mr. J. H. Cozart visited his friends
around here a few days the past week
and met with a warm welcome.
Superintendent Luther Roberts and
his road force were here last week

Friend Boyd, the pleasant carrier
on Route 6,has been instructed to re

the north bound train in order to
furnish his patrons with the morning
mall which will make his route more
popular than ever.
Our farmers begin to believe in the
ground hog as the weather has been
more or less bad since the second of
February.
It seems that most of the young
men have lost their politeness these
fast days. They stand around church
and smoke and almost stifle the la
dies, and sit In buggies with young
ladies puffing cigarettes all the time
They certainly should have more re
gard for the fair sex.

MEETING OF TOWN FATHERS.
Home Telephone Franchise, Side
i ' Walks and Fire Boys.
The Town Fathers held their regu
lar meeting Monday night and prov
ed quite an Interesting one as several
Important matters were discussed.
A resolution was passed giving the
Seaboard Railroad 60 days In which
to fulfill their agreement as to the
grading of the new street opened
from Main to the depot, and if they
fall to do so the street will be closed,
return the land condemned back to
the owners as well as the money sub
scribed by individuals to help pay
for th opening of the street. It looks
like It is up to the road to do some
thing, with the jstreet or it will be
closedjup-l" -; .: -
A n Appropriation of $50 a year was
made tor the , benefit of the Ei wards
Hook and Hose Company and some
necessary equipments for the com
pafty- were ordered purchased. We
are glad to see our excellent Board
of Gi.'m mlssloners take a deep Interest
in the fire boys, who are always
ready ; and willing to respond to a
call for their services.
We hope the Board will this spring
turn their attention to improving
many of the sidewalks and crossings
as they become almost impassible
during the winter months; We take
It they will be able to do so as the
main thoroughfares have been ma
cadamized which has added so much
to the looks of Oxford.
Mr: F. C. Topleman, of Henderson,
Superintendent of the Home Tele
phone Company.was in Oxford Mon
day night and was present asking
for a renewal of the franchise for this
company for a period of 30 year?. We
learn the consideration of the mat
ter was postponed as the Oxford
Water and Electric Company desire
to present a petition to the Board
for a franchise and establish a tele
phone system in Oxford.
Ve understand that Mr. Topleman
assured the Board that the Home
Company will guarantee Improved
service. If the franchise Is granted
better service than the company has
heretofore given. Just here we will
say that the day service at "Central"
Is excellent but the night -service has
not been satisfactory, though we
feel sure that If the franchise Is grant
ed Mr. Topleman will make good bis
promise and give our people first
class service. We learn also that the
company will furnish more long dis
tance phones and thus save the pat
rons the Inconvenience or going up
to Central to talk to parties out of
town. We believe that all things
being equal, the Home Company
should be allowed the franchise.
We believe that Mr. Topleman Is In a
position to give our people good ser
vice and that he will do so. We
think, however that 30 years Is too
long to grant a franchise and suggest
to our Board that 15 years is long
enough. .
Of course both companies cannot
profitable operate a phone system
here as there Is not room for both,
and while we have nothing to say
against our Water and Electric Co.
we do not think It wise to give any
one company practically a monopoly
the water, lights and phones.
Would this not be giving too much
power to one company?
We hope our Board win give tnis
matter very serious consideration.
Marriage of Miss Rosa Crews and Mr.
Ernest Dean.

LIEUTENANT DABNEY,
Of Washington, Says : ' Pe-ru-na is
a Substantial Tonic."
ieay
Albert J. Dabney, Lieutenant IT. S. V.,
writes from Washington, D. C.f aa fol
lows: ' ; , '
'After the use of two bottles of Pe
ru na 1 am fully convinced that It Is a
good remedy and I can conscientiously
recommend your medicine to anyone
who Is In need ot a substantial tonic
It Is also a very effective cure tor ca
tarrh." ' ALBERT J. DABNEY.
It is rare indeed that two bottles of Pe
rana is not sufficient to convince anyone
that Peruna is a good remedy. Once in
the household Peruna generally stays.
More than one-half our ills are due to
catarrh. By catarrh is not meant sim
ply catarrh of the nose or head, but ca
tarrh of the lungs, stomach, in fact,
every organ of the body.
Almost every disease begins at first
with a catarrhal condition of some mu
cous membrane. A few doses of Pe
runa in the beginning Is sure to pre
vent much sickness.
Peruna acts as a tonic because it pro
duces healthy mucous membranes In
the stomach and digestive organs. It
immediately begins to brace a person
up because It enables the digestive
organs to do their duty properly.
It you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
Vice gratis.
