SOMETHING TO CROW oyER, 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 of 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 inv 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, fet ter fixed than it has been for the comfort of our farmer friends. Ourwarehouse force is made up of the best. They are as follows: L. W. Stark and S. M; Watkins auctioneers, S.M. Watkins will manage the floor, Wesley Bryan and Thos. 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. Good Tract of Land For Sale.

A colored stock company has bought from Mrs. Florence Pugh, of Baltimore, the two stores on Hills boro street occupied by Messrs. Bui lock & Crenshaw as buggy and wag on show rooms. They now occupy the store room just vacated by Mr. Dean next to Banner Warehouse. The sales of tobacco are gradual ly Increasing on the warehouse floors and prices are keeping up to those re ceived when tobacco first commenced coming in. The farmers are rapidly coming to a close with curing their Inferior crop, and soon the sales on the warehouse floors will look like old times. A colored excursion was run from Oxford to South Boston Tuesday, and everything passed off very well as only two of the boys were caged for trying to carry an overload of corn Ilckker. Owing to the derailing f a freight train near Chase City did not, along with the passenger train, reach Oxford until about two o'clock Wednesday morning Stick to your boy, whether he be good or bad. If the forces of the lat ter control him. he needs your neip all the more, for when a father de serts his son, who Is going to extend the helping hand? He may be a Tar tar for a while, but show him that he has always a true friend In "dad dy" even though the hand of the world be raised against him. ! An exchange says: Small men with small purposes do not help to make a town lively and progressive fhe man who never contributes to public enterprise or voluntary assists In supporting any of the public enter prises Is not worth coaxing to r ; main In a town, and should he decide to move out It is alwaysa matter of congratulation. It's units i&iAiL. not mere ciphers that counts lor some thing. "Be a unit." Few business men have more to contend with than an editor. The only means theedltor has of making a living for himself and family is by selling space in thecolumns of his pa per. His newspaper columns are the same to him as the shelves of dry goods are to the merchant. No one thinks of asking the merchant to give him the dry goods from his shelves, but few they are who hesitate to ask the edltortoglve them a few columns free in his paper. No matter what you do. provid ed you do it better than some one else could do the same thing, there's a welcome awaltlngyou in the world. It was Emerson, we believe, who said. "If a man can write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mouse trap than his neighbor, though he build his house In the woods, the worla will make a beaten path to his door." Try to ex celIt's a laudable ambition. As a starter take a course in our schools. It is often said that American peo pie are lacking in reverence for the aged. If this be true, I- 's, Indeed, a flagrant fault. It is to the old we must look for wisdom, gained by the years, b ortunate Is the young per son who has close personal relation with those who have had long life and varied experiences. The advice of the latter Is worth more than gold Old people do not rush into extrava gances. They think belore they act. They counsel reflection. They give stability. Pack Barn Containing Nine Curings of Tobacco Destroyed. Saturday night a very destructive fire occurred near Northslde. The pack barn of Mr. C. C. Wheeler and sheds adjoining the barn wereentire ly destroyed by fire. The barn con tained nine curings ot fine tobacco valued at about .$1,000. In the sheds was a new harrow, a saddle, set of harness and other farming tools. The destruction was complete. There was no Insurance. Only two cuttings of his tobacco Is left. Mr. Wheeler is an old Confederate soldier, having lost a leg during the civil struggle. He is an honest, hard working citizen, his farm was his means of support. He is worthy of help, and we deeply sympathize with him In the loss he has sustained. An Interesting Lecture. One of the most Interesting lectures heard In Oxford for some time was given at the Court House on last Thursday evening by Prof. M. C. S. Noble, of the University of North Carolina- Professor Noble was in Oxford lecturing before the County Teacher's Institute, and took occa slon while here to deliver his interest lng lecture on "Scotland and the Schools of that Country."

By closely watching the columns of this paper you will learn the names of our busi ness men who Invite you to deal with them and you can rest assured that they will treat you right. A merchant who does not care enoiighJfor Jyour trade to ask you to visit his store and who does not Inform you of the many bargains be may have to offer Is not anxious for your patronage. The progressive merchant will al ways let his customers know of the arrival of new goods at once, the way for our merchants to do this is through the columns of this paper which goes into a majority of the homes in the county. Call us Up. The Public Ledger would greatly appreciate your assistance In the re porting of personals and other news to this office. It is impossible for us to cover the field fully and everybody wants to know who are visitors in town and who have left town or come home as well as the happenings. Many people visit the town and other places in the county, and because the fact is not widely known, do not re ceive the attention which their friends would gladly bestow upon them If their arrival were made knowu. It would be a matter of very little in convenience for you to step to the phone and give us the news that we may convey it to your menus ana the friends of your visitors. Please do not consider that in do ing this you would be subject to the slightest criticism; but consider ratn- er that tnis is a duty you owe to your friends as well as your visitors. Stop criticizing trie oia man Decause he falls to notice your coming and going as well as the members of your family and friends unless you take the trouble to inrorm us, we are only one man and cannot keep up with all the comings and goings. One man intimated to ua a few days ago that if he had money the movements of his family and himself would not be lost sight of. We can say with em phasis that we do not hover around and court the men that have money, but we love to see men make money and become prosperous, and aid in the upbuilding of the town and the establishment of enterprises giving employment to worthy people.
