The Shady (Jrove Methodist church Is now completed with the exception of the benches. A dear little girl has arrived at the home of Mr. .1. M. Balrd and he Is the happiest man in town. We are requested to announce that there will be no preaching at Geneva next Sunday. The general sentiment of the peo ple Is that the court house will look better a solid red than penciled with white. Don't forget to list your taxes before the month runs out. Better do it today and then you will be on the snfi side. Why should the police allow filth to lie dumped rlj;ht out on the edge of the side walk on one of the principal streets of the town? We saw Tuesday the first ripe peaches grown In this section.

The most disgraceful sight one ever sees In this town Is a number of young boys, not yet In their teens. with cigarettes In their mouths. Is not there a law against selling cig arettes to minors?

Brown, a zealous Sun day school worker, will deliver the address. Miss Eunice Crews will have charge of the exercises. The Oxford Firemen are being handicapped right much In their at tempt to raise money to defray their expenses to Ashevllle, but we are of the opinion that some day their ser vices will be appreciated by some peo ple, a good deal more than tney are today. Our commissioners are men who believe In doing things. They are having the court house nicely painted Inside and outand deserve the thanks of eyerybody for It. When finished. we will have a splendid public build- iug,a ticuit lu uur cuuubjr uuu tu Lue commissioners. Rev. E. L.

Quite a number of friends called and spent a very pleasant afternoon. Elegant refreshments were served. Killed the Negro who Attempted to Assault Her. Miss Pearl Jones, of Selma, has proved to be a heroine. She is night operator at the telephone office, and last Saturday night about ll;:"!0she stepped out Into the back yard, which was closed In, and a negro boy the name of Bud Richardson at tempted to seize her and she jumped back into the room and seized her pistol and shot at blm 5 times, one ball passing through his lung. After living about 2 days he died, in his confession on his death bed Implicat ed another negro boy, who Is now In Raleigh jail. This was a brave act on the part of Miss Jones and proves that ladles should learn how to use pistols for self protection and shoot down brutes that attempt to as sault them. Nomination of J Crawford Bigs for Judge of 9th District. We rejoice with Durham and are happy to announce the nomination of Hon.

May hellvelong, and may many other honors await blm In the future. Hon. A. L. Brooks, the ablest Soli cltor In the State, was renominated by acclamation amid much enthu slam. Two Men Hurt at Furniture Factory. We are very sorry to learn that Mr. Edward Jones and Mr. Henry Clapp, two of the excellent employes of the Furniture Factory, were badly hurt last Friday. Mr. Edward Jones was another victim of the jointing ma chine, getting his left hand caught by the bits. Ills fingers were badly cut up, but we are very glad to learn he did not lose a single one of them. As soon as he could our young friend sought the aid of Dr. Ben. Hays who looked after and dressed the wound ed hand. Gratified to learn that the wound Is healing nicely underthe skill ful treatment of Dr. Hays. The other victim of an accident was Mr. Henry Clapp, who had the mis fortune to get one of arms caught between the door of the dry house and a truck loaded with lumber, breaking two bones in the wrist. He received prompt medical attention, and is getting along nlcelv. We sym pathize with these young gentlemen and wish them a rapid recovery from their wounds. Meeting of Town Commissioners. The Board of Town Commission ers held their regular monthly meet ing Monday night, and heard reports from the respective committees. After the usual routine business was trans acted the Board passed an Antl-splt- tlng ordinance, which prohibits spit ting on the paved sidewalks and on the floors of the public buildings under penalty of $1 fine for each of fense. This Is a srood law If our do- llce have back bone enough to enforce the law. It was decided that the town need- el a Health Officer of its own. and the Board elected Dr. Thos. I-. Booth to that important position. And we at once call his attention to filthy condition of a gutter In the business part of town. As the time of two of the members ot the Board of Trustees of Graded School, Dr. K. T. White and Mr. J. H Bullock, two most excellent gentle men Jhad expired, the Commission ers elected Messrs. John Webb and Willie Ij. Mitchell in their places, both ot whom will prove valuable mem bers of the Board. The Board is now composed of tbefollowluggentlemen: Dr. T. Ij. Booth, Chairman, Mr. Sol W. Cooper, Secretary, and Dr. I. H. Davis, Secretary, Messrs. J. Ij. Erwin, W. H. Hunt, John Webb and W. L. Mitchell. CARNIVAL NEXT WEEK. Half of Proceeds tor Benefit of onr Fire men Encourage the Boys and Have a Good Time. Next week will be a gala one for Oxford as the Hampton Amusement Co. will open up Monday for the ben efit of the Firemen who will get 50 per cent, of the receipts. The tent will be located on Judge Graham V lot next to the old Veuable residence on Hlllsboro street. Everybody is expected to have a good time as well as the Firemen to betterequlpp them selves for fighting fire. We learn that there Is no disagreeable features con nected with the different attractions. It Is in Durham this week and we eee from the papers Is largely attended and greatly enjoyed by the people. The Durham Herald says it comprises 10 shows and la opening the carnival Mr. Hampton, who owns it stated that he would say for the benefit of those present and all others that the carnival was a collection of clean shows and If every one who visited the shows was not treated as ladles and gentlemen that if the matter was reported to him he would rectify mat ters with a vengance. He stated further that those connected with his shows were ladles and gentlemen and he wanted them treated as such, otherwise he would be heard from along that line. So far as cou!d be learned or heard last night there was not a blngleklck or any show on account of immoral ity or Indecency. Several police of ficers were on the ground for the pur pose of keeping order and closing any show If this was necessary. It was not. There were men ladles and children in the vast throng and all seemed to enjoy every feature of the evening. As to the many attractions be sure and read the advertisement on the 4th page. And don't forget to vote for the Queen of the Carnival. Important Buliding. Mr. S. W. Parker Is erecting four large two-story buildings on his lot on thecorner of Hlllsboro and Broad streets. Three of these are very large, 10 to 12 room apartment houses a which will be rented to families or by the single room as desired. One of these buildings, which is being erect ed on the corner of the lot, is to be used as a cafe and be fitted up in the best style In all its appointments, and will afford an excellent boarding place for our young men and others. The rooms near by will be convenient for all those who desire them. In erect ing these dwellings Mr. Parker is supplying a long-felt need In our growing town. In ths past many people have been greatly inconvenienced, and quite a number have failed to locate here on account of the scarcity of houses. With the increase of manufacturing and the recent influx of people luto Oxford the need for more dwellings Is still more urgent, and we are glad that Mr. Parker is helping to supply this need. We know of 12 families that want to move to Oxford within the next 30 days. Death of Mr. Rufus Horner. The editor was very sorry to learn from Mr. Ed Bobbltt, of Wilton, who was In town Tuesday, of the death of Mr. Rufus Horner, one among the best men or that excellent communi ty. Mr. Horner had been sick about two week, and although he received the best attention ana nursing at the hands of his loved ones continued to grow worse until the angels bore his spirit to the Heavenly World. He was about 60 years of age, and the kindest of neighbors and true friend, and a devout member of Bank Meth odlst church and teacher in the Sun day, and much beloved by all who knew him. He loved his church and was devoted to the Sunday School, and will bejgreatiy missed by his co workers in the Lord's vineyard. Ills funeral and burial took place Wednesday at Bank's and was very largely attended by sympathizing neighbors and friends. "Blessed are they who die in the Lord." To the grief-stricken loved ones the editor extends deepest sympathy In the hour of overshadowing gloom. Death of a Good Man. The many friends of Mr. J. R. Hart In Granville will learn with sorrow of his death which occurred on Sun day last at his home near Mountain Creek church, Oak Hill Township, after a long illness. His death was not unexpected to his family and imme diate friends as bis health commenced to fall more than a year ago. He was the oldest son of the late George W. Hart and most highly es teemed by all his neighbors and friends, as he possessed a warm heart and eyer willing to perform a kind deed. He was a zealous member of Mountain Creek Baptist Church and will be greatly missed. We trust he so lived as to win a Crown in Glory. He leave behind besides devoted children a number of brothers and sis ters to mourn his death. He was an honored and beloved member of Adonlram Lodge of Ma son, and received at the hands ot bis beloved brethren a Masonic burial at his late home Monday afternoon led by Gen. B. S. Royster, of Oxford, at tended by a large coucourseot neigh bors and friends. He was laid to rest by the side of his dear wife who pre ceded him to the grave. Mr Hart was for years a good friend of tba editor and It Is with sor row that we write of his death, and extends his warmest condolence to his loved ones In the hour deep gloom Don't be fooled and made to believe that rheumatism can be cured with local appli ances. Hollisters Rocky Mountain Tea is the only positive care for rheumatism. 35c Tea or Tablets. J. ,G. Hall. JAMES H. LONG, A MODEL MAN. T have never known a perfect man. But I have never known one who got nearer to perfection than James H. Long, of Oxford, who died here June 3rd, 1906. During a long life I have known a great many men but 1 have never known a better all round man 1 ban Brother Long. . - Ills life 'was a model as to his hab its. If he bad a single bad habit I did sot know It. His life was pure, I never knew him to' drink or smoke or play cards or attend balls or thea ter or any place of questionable pro prlty. He was a model business man. In early life he decided to be a merchant. He started as a poor boy. He gave himself earnestly to his work. His pntXiose was to succeed by indpry, honf-sty and econlomy. For twenty five years he stuck to his business all day and far Into the night. Sabbaths excepted. He made money. He de served every dollar he made. It was honest money. Any one who will work and economise as Bro. Long did can make money. He is a model for young business men. He was a model friend. I never had a truer one. We loved each oth er as Jobnathan and David. We unbosomed our trials our sorrows our joys to each other. Hewasklnd loving, sympathetic, helpful at all times. Such friendship lightens life's burdens, and elevates life's sorrows. It makes earth aklu to Heaven. He . was a model citizen. He never violated any law of the land. If all were to live as he did there would be no brothels no bar rooms, no ball rooms, no gambling dens, no fussing no murders no prisons but peace and love and prosperity would reign su preme. Earth would undergo a moral renovation, and would become the happy home of upright people. Bro. Long was a model every day christian. Some people are pretty fair Sunday chrlstians.but sorry week day christians. Bro. Long had every day religion. It controlled his whole life. He lived for God every day. He was always trying to do good to others. He sought out and helped the afflicted and needy. He was a true peace maker. With christian gentleness he settled many troubles between others, lie gently rebuked those he saw doing wrong and point ed them to a better life. None doubt ed his piety. -i Pe was a model church member. I hive nevtr known a better. As amer t,fi clf.txn.an odd fellow he was faithful but he always put his church first. He loved and honored and served his church. He gave and worked and prayed for her success. He was the most active deacon lever saw. He was aleader lnevery church work. None surpassed him, but few If any equalled him. He was one of the two members of the church who when at home attended every praj er- meetlna: of the church last year. In the absence of the pastor he would conduct these meetlners. In the ab- scense of the organist he led the sing lng. He rarely ever failed to make a tender practical talk right out of his own hearts experience. I have been helped hundreds of times by be ing with him in prayer meeting. Two Incidents lu P.rother Long's Life: On returning from asummer resort a lady said to him: "I suppose you enjoyed danclnic at the spring." "No madam." he renlled. "I had nothing to do with the dancing." "vvny how was .that? "Well madam my rellglou won't let me dance." "My religion does not keep me from danc lng," "Well madam there Is a great difference between your religion and mine." On one occasion under the presure of circumstances he was forced to do what he did not prefer to do. What he did gave offence. Brother Long was blamed. His tender heart was made to bleed at the thought of having sxleved a Brother. He could not sleep. He could not sleep. He pray ed over the matter all night. - Next morning the grieved Brother came to see him and the troubled was settled satisfactorily, and brotherly love was strengthened rather than weakened. What a wise and effectual way to settle troubles. Some two months ago Bro. Long left us for a short stay In Chase City, Va. We missed him and longed for his return. But alas he returned only to bid us a long farewell. But we rejoice in; the' hope of meeting him again "Where no farewell tears are shed' ' J. A. STRADLEY. Mr. James A. Satterwhite. The remains of Mr. James A. Sat terwhite, who died at Hot Springs, Ark., on Sunday arrived here at 7 o'clock and were deposited In vault at Mt. Olivet Cemetery. When the civil war began Mr. Sat terwhite was living in Granville county, N. C, and enlisted in Gran ville Grays, the first company of vol unteers from that county. From his enlistment until the surrender he was a soldier in the Virginia army under Gen. Lee. . Soon after the close of the war he removed to Murfreesboro, Tenn. .and later to Nashville. For many years he was a director and also cashier of the Nashville, Chattanooga & Saint Louis Railway. For several years he had been re siding In the city of New York. At the time of his death he was spend lng a few weeks on account ol his he ilth at Hot Springs, Ark.. and was accompanied by his Bister. Mrs. Lucy Cannady, and niece, Miss Kittle Sat terwhite. He had many warm per so4al friends In Nashville, who learn of bis death with deep regret. Nash ville Tenn., American. - t k : - (oirjirjg and (Joing. YOU OR YOUR FRIEND MAY BE MENTIONED.

The hitter trail in a woman's life Is to be childless. Who can tell how hard the struggle may have been ere she learnt to resign herself to her lonely lot? The ab sence of this link to bind marital life together, the absence of this one pledge to mutual affection is a common disap pointment. Many unfortunate couples become estranged thereby. Even if thev do not drift apart, one may read the whole extent of their disappointment in the eyes of such a childless couple when they rest on the children of others. To them the largest family does not seem too numerous. In many cases or barrenness or child lessness the obstacle to child-bearinar is tasily removed by the cure of weakness on the part 01 tne woman, ur. fierce Fa vorite Prescription has been the means of restoring health and fruitfulness to many a barren woman, to the great joy of the household.
