We bought more tobacco of the last crops than all the other warehouse firms in Ox ford combined and have sold nearly all of our last years purchases. We expect to buy more of the new crop than the other three warehouse firms com bined. We will leave it to any sound thinking man if this does not give us the advantage or any warehouse in Oxford. We said at the beginning of last season we wanted more than ONE MILLION pounds ourselves and we bought more than ONE MILLION. We say now that we want 2,000,000 pounds out of this crop. The truth is we are in position second to no firm in Oxford or in the State to get you the oream of the market. Our buyers are now more anxious for new tobacco than we have seen them for quite a number of years and the Farmers Warehouse is prob ably in better condition to take care of your interest than it has ever been since it was built. You will find that we will have our excellent Warehouse, which is the best in town, bet ter fixed than it has been for the comfort of our farmer friends. Our warehouse force is made up of the best. They are as follows: L. W. Stark and S. M. Watkins auctioneers, S.M. Watxins will manage the floor, Wesley Bran and Tjos. How ell will keep the books and J. F. Meadows will see that every pile of tobacco brings the high est market price, Gome one, come all and be convinced. Thanking you for all the past patronage, and promising you service second to no one in the future,we beg to remain Yours very truly J. F. MEADOWS & GO. Wood's Seeds FOR SOWING.

New tobacco continues to come in and Is selling well. More rain and more rnss as it looks like It Is jolns to rain all the summer. Some of our merchants are get ting ready to go North to buy their fall goods. Dr. J. (. Hunt has completed the addition to his residence on corner of Spring and Gllllaru street. A lot of folks don't hesitate to beat around the bush In order to ap pear as exponents of the Hiiuare deal. The dwelling bouse being built on Broad street by Mr. John Bullock for rent will be completed In a few weeks. The old Harris store house on Main street has been converted Into a nice dwelling which Is a great Im provement. The editor regrets to learn of the continued sickness of Mrs. L. C. Tay lor at the old home place on llllls boro street. A Philadelphia, doctor has mar ried a woman doctor. If the doctor has made a mistake he will have to take his medicine like a man. Dr. A. B. Dunaway has returned from a visit to relatives 1 it Virginia and will preach In the Baptlstchurch Sunday morning and night. Nature, Impartial In her euds. When she made man the stronger, In justice, then to make amends, Made woman's tongue the longer. It Is just as lmpossitili"! for the tongue of Impurity to chant the cho rals of Heaven, as for the tongue of the adder to slug the thrush's high melody. Good for the women. Thirteen women are serving as cashiers in Io wa banks, and prison records fall to show one servlDg a sentence for de faulting. She A married couple should pull together like a team of horseH. He Yes, and they probahly would If, like a team of horses, they had but one tongue between them. On account of the big washout on the Durham & Northern Railroad between Dlckerson and Henderson Thursday night no trains reached Oxford until Saturday from Hen derson. The terrible rain which visited Oxford Thursday night last did about $000 damage to the streets, culberts and bridges. Water fell In torrents for about two hours and flooded the town. If the courts T?ould bang a few HU.rtMof the liiiirtJerei-s, tmnad ot sending them to the penitentiary, we believe the habit of lynching would soon be a thing of the past In this State. Durham Sun. Miss Mary Anna Adcock, daugh ter of Mr, S. P. Adcock, of I'.erea.dled In Raleigh Friday night and the re mains passed through Oxford Satur day morning and were burled at Berea In the afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Iiobards. quite a popular young couple of Oxford, have commenced house keeplngln the dwelling recently occupied by the late beloved Mr. ,f. S. Hunt. We wish them a happy and contented life. It will be very gratifying to the people of Oxford when work ceases on the telephone line as the service has not been good for awhlle.or un less the operators have become care less about answering calls. The armored cruiser North Caro lina will be launched at the Newport News Shipyards October (i. A spon sor has not yet been chosen, but It Is probable that Gov. Glenn will be asked to name the lady for that honor. We call especial attention to the large and attractive advertisement on tne 4th page or the very progress ive city of Lynchburg, V'a. It has bo- come one of the most prominent cities In Virginia and Its business men are hustlers after business, as they do not mind spending money in adver tising. The Oxford Tobacco Board of Trade held Its annual meeting Friday night Aug. I7th and elected officers for the ensuing year. They are as follows: W. A. Adams, President, W.Z. Mitchell, Vice President, F. F. Lyon. Secretary-Treasurer. Sales Committee, W. 15. IJallou.J uo. Webb, J. M. Currln. An exchange says "the man who went out to milk and sat down on a rock In the middle of a large pas ture and waited for the cows to back up. was a brother to the man who kept a store and wouldn't advertise because he reasoned that the pur chasing public would back up to his place of -business, when it wanted something.". Mr. Sam Watkins, one of the splendid young men of Oak Hill township, is now connected with the Farmers Warehouse and as soon as he can get a house will move his fam ily to Oxford. We are glad to have Mr. Watkins numbered with our pro gressive citizens and extend him and his family a cordial welcome to our town. The Infant child of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Johnson died at their home on Spring Street Sunday night and the remains were taken out to Bethel church Monday for Interment. Rev. b. M. Shamburger conducting the burial services.

We use DeWitts Witch Hazel Salve, and these little ills don't bother us Learn to look for the name on the box to get the genuine. Sold by J. G. Hall. Mrs. Wm. Landla left a few days ago for Baltimore to visit relatives. Mrs. L. J. Steed and daughter. Miss Emma, are at home from More head City. Read resale of land by Messrs. R. W. Winston and T. Lanier, commis sioners, in another column. Mr. Hubert M. Poteat, who has been visiting Mr. Dnrlus Katman to the pleasure of his numerous Oxford frlends.left for Wake Forest Monday. Mr. and Mrs. E. TV Allen have gone to Winston to make their home as Mr. Allen has accepted a position with the Metropolltau i,lfo Insurance Company. Asked to define the word "gen tleman," a wise old guy replied as follows: "A man who Is clean both outside and Inside; who neither looks up to the rich or down to the poor; whose can lose without squealing and win without bragging; who Is considerate of women, children and old people, who is to brave to He, too generous to cheat and who takes his share of the world aud lets other peo ple have theirs." State Auditor Dixon says there are about 800 new pension applica tions, most of them of soldiers of the fourth class and some widows. The deaths that have occurred about equal the new applications, and so the auditor said there would narniy be any Increase In the number of pen sioners over last year.IIe confidently expects that fourth class pensioners and widowers will this time get tfi'U a year. A level headed exchange says: 'Learn this one thing, learn It early In life and learn It well, that the man who does not always believe as you do la not always a fool. The fact that you hold views not In accord with your neighbor Is not proof pos itive that you are right and he 'Is wrong, nor Is It any evidence that your neignoor is insincere, ir this were not true, then all smart men would belong to one party and all good men to one church." Opening of Graded School. The fall term of the Oxford Graded Schools, Including the branch school it the Cotton Mill will begin Monday Sept. rird. Fxamlnatlons Tor entrance and for pupils wishing to stand off conditions will be held In the school building Saturday September I-t. By an agreement made with the Couutv Board of Kducatlon pupils In the territory surrounding Oxford for a mile will tie allowed four months free tuition at the Graded Schools. This time will be counted from the ipenlng day Sept, 3rd. It Is very Important that all pupils bo present the first day of school. Institute for the White Pubilc School Teachers. The Institute for white teachers will be held in the f traded School building at Oxford from August 27th to Sept. 1st. The dally session will be from 9am until 5 p m with Inter mission for dinner. Messrs. Edward P. Moses and M. V. H, Noble, who will hold Vthe Institute, are men f work, and they will offer opportuni ties for improvement that no teacher can afford to miss. The school law of 11)0;V make attendance upon this Institute compulsory for all teachers In this county. Colored Teacher's Institute this Week An Institute for colored teachers Is being held at the Colored Graded School building this week In Oxford aud much Interest Is being manifest ed In the same. There are In attend ance abgut 35 teachers from different parts or the county. Professors R. G. lvlttrell and D. H. Bland are con ducting the Institute and are giving valuable service to colored teachers. We are glad to see the teachers are appreciative and that they are tak ing so much Interest In the Institute. It will mean much for the success of the schools over which they preside. There Is much need of developmentln this line, and we are glad the colored teachers are availing themselves of the splendid opportunities offered them. How Does this Strike You ? The use of money In securing a nom ination for an office callsfor loud pro test from all fair and honest men. To use money, either directly or In directly, or to hire a mercenary ad vocate to go about and advertise the claims of a candidate. Is an insult to the Intelligence of any people. The candidate who seeks ollico In this manner, or who buys his support with a jug of whiskey, deserves not only to be defeated, but to be set aside as unworthy of the confidence of the people: for they will have cause to suspect that if heexpends his mon ey to buy an ofhee, he will readily lend himself, and his Influence to such Interests as will reimburse him for the outlay used in corrupting the vo ters. And, on the other hand, a man who will sell his vote to the highest bidder, or be Influenced by another's money Is not to be trusted; his honor Is broken; his moral manhood Is de throned, and he becomes the pliant tool of his knavish friend.

We were in hopes to be able to pub lish a full statement of the vote In the primary, but owing to the fail ure of the pollholders to send in the returns promptly we are unable give a synopsis. The total vote cast for Clerk was 934 and our good friend, C. F. Crews, one of the best men In our grand old eourity, received 499, while we ( Brltt) received 435. The vote was close In most of the precincts, tlelng In two, Wllklns and Stem. We would have been renominated If our own town ship had proved foyal, but we yield willing to the verdict of the people with the consclenceness that no man has been truer or fought harder for Democracy as well as to build up his town and county than we have, and shall continue the good work, and It will be a pleasure to us to accord Mr. Crews our hearty support. For Register of Deeds the total vote cast was 939, Powell received CSS;- Buchanan 132. Cozart 119 i-A. -.E C. Harris ad W. P.

On Wednesday morning about 11 o'clock Mr. T. B. Pendleton, who is looking after Mr. Richard Brown's bicycle shop during his absence.pulled open a drawer la a table he was sit ting by and took out a 32-callbre pis tol and examined It. By some means it slipped out of his hands the ham mer striking the table and fired, ball striking him in the breast and glanc ed around breast bone coming out near the shoulder. The bullet went through the round of the chair splin tering It right badly. Dr Canr.ady was sentforaud looked skillfully after the wounded man and had him taken to his home, and at last accounts was doing well. Sudden Death of Mrs. S. V. Morton. The many relatives and friends of Mrs. S. V. Morton in Oxford were shocked Wednesday afternoon on learning of her sudden death at her home near Oak Hill from child birth. Dr. VV. L. Taylor, of Stovall, the at tending physician, who was later joined by Dr. Cannady, used every possible means to save her. The very deepest sympathy Is expressed on all sides for our esteemed friend. Mr. S. V. Morton, and family, as well as to our old friend. Capt. George Daniel, and family In the hour of deepest sor row. May the Blessed Redeemercom fort aud sustain all the loved ones In the trying hour. Mrs. Morton was a most excellent lady and greatly beloved by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. She was a mem ber of the Presbyterian church and a zealous christian worker. She was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister and generous neighbor, ever ready to aid and comfort those in distress. The burial will take place this ;t tiursd iy afternoon In the old Daniel graveyard. Rev. John E. Wool con ducting the services, and will be large ly attended. We Have Met our Opponent and we are His Good Luck to Him. We concede the nomination of our esteemed friend. Mr. Charles F. Crews, for Clerk of the Court, and we con gratulate him on his success. We thank our many friends for the votes t hey gave us, and the generous support we received is the more ap preciated, because it was to a large extent unsolicited. We made no spec ial effort to secure votes, therefore most of them being a free will offer ing we deem a compliment. We shall never forget the kindness of our friends. Let us say here once for all that there were some things In this cam paign we regret. We regret that in part of the county that the party machinery was used against us; we regret that some of the minor coun ty officials saw lit to use their Influ ence agalust us. We believe the party machinery ought to be used against Democrats. We take the stand against these practices, not so much because they Injuriously affected us, but because we believe they are hurt ful to the party. We desired one more term not spe cially for the fees of the office. Our private business is much more profi table Trom a pecuniary standpoint than the Clerk's office, but we did hope that our efforts to serve the public would be thought to merit another term. But we submit cheer fully to the will of the Democrats of Granville asexpressed In the primary. In conclusion we want to say that we trust those who voted against us from prejudice or for private grudges, are fully satisfied. As for us, forget ting thotse things that are behind, shall press forward in the work of supporting the Democratic party and promoting the growth and prosper ity of our good town and county.

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is a powerful, invigorating tonic, impart ing health and streiifjth in purticular to the organs distinctly feminine. The local, womanly health is so intimately related to the general health that when diseases of the delicate womanly organs are cured the whole body gains in health and strength. For weak and sickly women who are "worn-out," "run-down" or debilitated, especially for women who work in store, office or schoolroom, who sit at the typewriter or sewing machine, or bear heavy household burdens, and for nursing mothers. Dr. Pierre's Favorite Prescription has proven a priceless benefit because of its health-restoring and strength-giving powers. As a soothing and strengthening nerv ine. "Favorite Prescription" is un equaled and is invaluable in allaying and subduing nervous excitability, irritabil ity, nervous exhaustion, nervous prostra tion, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, chorea, or St. Vitus's dance, and other distressing nervous symptoms commonly attendant upon functionat and organic disease of the womanly organs. It induces refresh-Ui-slp-ami relieves nient tl anxiety and despondency Cures obstinate cases. "Favorite Pre scription " is a positive cure for the most complicated and obstinate cases of "fe male weakness;" painful periods, irregu larities, prolapsus or falling of the pelvic organs, weak back, bearing-down sensa tions, chronic congestion, inflammation and ulceration.
