John Bullock and .1. D. Bullock, which occurred on last Mon day night at the home of Mr. J. D. Bullock In Oxford. Mrs. Bullock was nearly SO years of age. Mie was an excellent chris tian lady and a consistent member of the Methodist chuch. She had lived with her son for some time. Her death will be deplored by her friends and neighbors.

The pall bearers were: Messrs. w.Z. Mitchell, E. K. Howard, W. B. Ballou. John Webb. E. T. White and J. J. Renn To the bereaved relatives the editor extends his most sincere sympathies. . Peter and Repeater. This story, for generations a fa vorite with country editors, Is still able to be around: A party down east was blessed with twins both boys. He christened them Peter and Repea ter. Another blessing of a. like na ture occurred about a year after this time both girls and the happy father called tbem Kate and Dupli cate. But the latest birth was a puzzler for some time, as one was a hoy ana one a girl. However, the difficulty has been gotten over by calling the boy Max and the girl Cli max. That Easter Bonnet. The glories of the Easter season have come and gone, but the wonder ful creations of the milliners' art are with us with Its queer shapes for fur ther exhibition. The cost was great but In most cases necessary to keep matrons and maids in good humor for that great consumatlon of their hopes for distinguished appearance. It only remains to pay the bills of those who bought upon credit, and to think over the prodigious sum ex pended by the American people Over $200,000,000, amount of the losses at San Francisco, Is expended every year by our wives and daughters for millinery manufactured In this coun try, besides the millions for what Is Imported.

BLAMING PROVIDENCE. A Timely Warning to Guard Against Accident and Save Life. Man Is ever looking for some one to bear the blame of his own short comli.gs. When It Is impossible for him to lay the blame upon his fellow man he then declares his afflictions to be the vltltatlon of the hand of God. A city Is built beneath an artlfical lake. The dam breaks and the city is swept away. Another city Is built upon a bar of sand projecting Into the sea. A storm arises, the Hoods come and the city Is destroyed. Still another city Is built upon an arm of land known to be of unsafe foun dation, and Is destroyed by earth quake and fire. And these catastro phes we ascribe to Providence. Has It occurred to you that this Is blas phemy? Perhaps not; nor has It oc curred to many of usthat we of the town of Oxford are continually ln vlttng divine wrath. Let me be more specific. The gal leries at the opera house and at the Methodist church are both fire traps. When either of these buildings Is crowded, as they frequently are, the explosion of a lamp, or fire from any cause, would create a panic. There would be a rush for the narrow stair ways, and many people would be crushed to death, or possibly suffo cated by smoke. From the upper parts of these building there would be no possible escape. When this thing occurs are we go ing to blame Providence for It? Let us take another Instance. A few precious lives are sacrificed In our town every year to that rearrui ats ease, consumption. It Is well known that this disease Is contagious. Yet we permit Its victims to attend our churches and public places. They ride upon the trains and sleep In the hotels. The fatal sputa which they spit up may be found today upon our eldewalfes.lu stores.churches and other gathering places. These people eat at the hotels, drink from the soda fountains and sit in public assemblies. We spend thousands of dollars to stamp out small pox (a perfectly harmless disease In a vaccinated com munity) yet raise no protest against the consumptive This most fatal of all diseases is ever In our midst. Before another year has passed it may attack the fairest and most beautiful member of your household or of mine, when it does shall we blame Providence for It. I jet us take still another Instance. Throughout the state of North Caro lina during the past year a cry has gone up that our asylums cannot care for our Insane. Yet in the mad rush for education we have forgotten the limitations of the nervous systems of our school girls. Instead of developing a race of healthful young woman, nttea to enjoy life and to become the mothers of a vigorous generation ol men we are deliberately preparing patients for Insane asylums yet unbuilt. The girls who stand highest at school are not, as a rule, to be found among our finest woiueu when fifty or sixty years of age. The difficult school examination which strains every nerve and fiber of the ambltlousyouug woman is not fitting her for life, but Is "the deep damnation of ber taking off." Are we to blame Providence for this? CHRISTIAN. Much Improved in Health. We are glad to announce that Mr. J. M. Currln returned from Chase City some days ago verv much Im proved In health, greatly to tne de light of a large host of friends. We hope that he may soon be restored to perfect health. Mr. Currln is one of our most high ly esteemed, useful and generous cit izens. He has successfully represent ed the American Tobacco Company In Oxford for nearly twenty years, and we venture the assertion that there is no more efficient represena tlve of this company to be found any where. By his fair dealing and liber ality he has gathered around him in business and socially a great many friends. He Is a public spirited citizen, and a gentleman of the kindest Impulses, a leader in every good work In thei church, and every charitable deed. We can truthfully say, and without flattery.that Mr. Currln richly merits the high estem In which he Is held by his nelghbora and friends as he Is one of the truest and best of men. Horner German. One of tbe most delightful germans of the year was given at Horner bar racks on last Friday evening from S:30 to 1.

Just at the commencement of the services at tbe Baptist church on last Sunday evening the electric lights went out and for a minute or two there was some contusion until the lamps conld be found. The lights however, were soon turned , on. It would be a good Idea for the breth ren to keep their lamps trimmed and ready to but n. Have the Right of Way. Rural route mall carriers have com plained to tbe Postoffice Department that they harve been prevented from completing their circuits on schedule time by farm wagons and other ve hicles stopping tbem on the road. The Postoffice Department has Issued a notice to the effect that the carriers are entitled to the right of way, and that the driver of any vehicle who falls to make way for a United States mall wagon may be prosecuted. A Beautiful Sight. The Orphan1 boys and girls from the Asylum were out In large numbers last Sunday to attend services at the different churches. The girls In white and "the boys In blue," so happy cheerful and -well cared for. made a nice appearauce wending their way to church on such a beautiful Sab bath morning. We are glad that these little ones unfortunate in in the loss of parents have such a lovely home and are so well trained and provided for. State Convention. - The Democratic State convention which meets at Greensboro July 3rd will have little to do and the session will probably be brief If the platform makers do not prolong It. Only one State officer Is be nominated a can didate for chairman of the corpora tion commission to succeed Mr. Franklin McNeill, whose term ex plres. A number of Superior Court judges are to be nominated but these are nominated nay district conven tions and the State convention's rat lflcatlon of the nominations Is purely a matter of form. In this judicial dis trict candidate for Judge and Solid tor are to be nominated. How is This Democrats. "We have a slight opportunity to do something this year," a Republi can of this county, was heard to re mark to One of his brethren last Mon day. How is that?" asked his com panion. "If we can all unite and join In with the dlsgrunted Demo crats.soine of whom a re almost crazy to run for something, we can prob ably break up the organized Democ racy of the county." I et Democrats beware as there will tie all sorts of propositions made this year, with a view of poisoning the minds of the people fig ilnat their best frleuds In the Democratic party. Ijoulsburg Times. ' ,- Meanest Trick on Record. A certain "Industrious" man we withhold his name resorted to the meanest trick on record to get his wife to dig up the garden last spring. He went out v5i spade and a hoe and after searching around for a while he went to the house to wash the dirt off a dime and a quarter. He had struck It rich he said. P.ack to the garden he went whistling "Sweet Marie." Directly he came again, this time showing another quarter and remarked that he could afford to take a nap; be had made enough for one day anyhow. When he awoke, his wife had the whole plot dug ud, but she had not found acent. She doesn't know yet the mine was "salted." Loulsburg Times. Suit for Damages Commenced. Two suits were begun In Granville Superior court Friday for damages on account of the injuries received by Lillian Sizemore and Mamie Moore on the Seaboard Railway trestle In town some days ago. Thecoraplalnt has not has yet been filed and It Is not yet known how much will be asked for. The counsel for the Sea board Road are Judge A. W. Gra ham, Gen. B. S. Royster and Capt. W. A. Devln. and Judge Winston, of Durham, and Messrs. A. A. Hicks and Wm. H. Harrison will appear for the little girls. It will be quite an Inter esting legal battle as the case will hinge on proving contributory neg ligence on the part of the railroad. For Suffering San Francisco. A meeting was held In the Court House In Oxford on Monday night for the purpose of raising funds to aid tbe suffering In San Francisco, Cal. Mr. J. P.Stedman was made Chair man of the meeting and Mr. VV. A. Devln Secretary. We learn about $90 was raised to aid these unfortu nate people on the paelflc.a nd a com mittee was appointed to secure fur ther subscriptions. The calamity which has befallen San Francisco is the greatest catas trophe which has ever happened In America, and can but arouse the sympathy of all humane people.Sure ly no cause could more strongly ap peal to us than the cause of these homeless people. We are glad mat Oxford noted always for Its kind ness and generosity Is the first town to respond to this call In this section. You feel the 1 fe giving current the min ute you take it.

The glycerine employed in Dr. Pierce's medicines greatly enhances the medi cinal properties which it extracts and holds in solution much better than alco hol would. It also possesses medicinal rouerties 01 its own, being a valuable eiuulceut. nutritive, antiseptic and anti- feriiient. It adds greatly to the efficacy' of the Black Cherry bark, Golden Seal root, Stone root and Queen's root, con tained in "Golden Medical Discovery " in subduing chronic, or lingering coughs, bronchial, throat and lung affections, for all of which these agents are recom mended by standard medical authorities. In all cases where there is a wasting wav 01 nesn, loss ot armetite. with weak stomach, as in the early stages of consumption, there can be no doubt that glycerine acts as a valuable nutritive and aids the uoiaen rwai root, stone root, Queen's root and Black Cherry bark in romoting aigestion ana nuiiuing up the eshand strength, controlling the cough and bringing about a healthy condition of the whole svstem.

A LITTLE AHEAD OF THEM ALL This Is what can be said of O tier's Fertilizers. By actual test In this county for the past 20 years Ober's has produced Tobacco that has sold for more money tban anything since tbe Peruvian, of twenty-five years ago. We give below some expres slons used by men of judgment, some from those who have used It by other h ertlllzers. "I used Ober's Fertilizers continu ously until six yecrs ago and th'u for personal reasons stopped uslnglt. I am confident that I lost five thou sand dollars during the five years I used other brands. I used It again last year and made a tine crop and will use It again tnls year. II. E. CREWS. Watklns, N. C." 'Tobacco sold on my floor made with Ober's Fertilizer sells for more money than any other tobacco I sell. Z. W. LYON, Oxford, N. C." 'I have lost money every year I used anything but Ober's Ouano we have tried other brands of Fertilizer but have found nothing the tqual of Ober'a Special Compound for produc ing fine tobacco. . T. G cTiiKRINj FRED CIIRRIN, D. H. CURRIN. We could give thousand exnresslon along this line, all testify the merit of this celebrated brand of Guano. Have Ober's, nothing Is just as good. PARHAM BROS. CO. Agents, Oxford, N. C. The Label That Libels No One. Why I feel better already, for when I see a package or bottle of medicine with R. L. HAMIL TON'S label on it I rest easy. I know it is carefully pre pared, neat, clean and of the purest and best material that can be had. Say Mr. , do you send your pre scriptions to HAM ILTON'S? Well Mam, we used to when we had Dr. in our fami ly but now we have changed doctors, and our new doctor just takes them down town & sends up the medicine. I noticed the differ ence decidedly. Well we changed doctors too and he did us the same way but we just called him down. I buy all my toilets from Hamil ton too. We think he keeps the oest. He has the best Fountain drinks I ever got anywhere ana everytning is kept so neat & clean in his store. TWO CUSTOMERS.
