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 in position second to no firm in Oxford or in the State to get you the cream 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. 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.

Its establishment In Oxford will put thousands of dollars In our farmers pockets, as the company wlil need all the hickory and post oak they can et. The old rubbish and other un- lghtly articles that are allowed to lay about In the streets do not look as bad, probably to those of us who see them every day, but a very un favorable Impression Is made upon trangers and visitors who occasion ally come to our town. The circulation of this paner Is growing every day and the merchant who wishes to do his part of the bus iness when the fall trade begins will do well to plant an advertisement In Its columns right now. The experi ment will prove to be a splendid one from a financial stand point.

The Best Ministrels That Ever Struck Oxford. Donnelly & Hatfield inngnlflcent minstrels under the personal dlrec tlon of the celebrated A1G. Field were In Oxford Tuesday night and our people enjoyed a rare treat In mufelc, soug, jokes, dancing, etc It can be truthfully said that It Is the finest minstrel that has ever appeared In our Opera House, and the large and enthusiastic audience showed their appreciation by the repeated oncores the performers received. It Is a pleas ure to the Public Ledger to recom mend this minstrel to the fun loving public. Manager Massenr of the Opera House Is to be congratulated upon getting such an excellent com pany of celebrated artist to play In )xford. Landis & Easton. A new blast from the well tilled stores of Eandls & Easton will be found on 4th page of the Public Led ger. Their painstaking buyer has recently returned from the north, and as a consequence their stock Is com plete and they say they Intend to sell them so close that all who need any thing In their line cannot resist the temptation to buy. Miss Vlckers, the tasty and artistic milliner who has had charge of the millinery department the past sev eral seasons, has returned and will be In charge of the department this season. Read their advertisement and then go and see that they are truthful men. Live, Energetic Business Men. It Is the live men who advertise Dead men have no occasion for It. The names of real live, energetic mer chants and business men of Oxford can be found In the columns of this paper. They are fair, honest and conclentlous In all their dealings. When they sell goods they do so at living prices, without extortion and are never beyond reasons. Famll arlze yourself with their names, and when you come to Oxford be sure to call on them. If your purpose Is to deal with men who are strictly up with the times and from whom you can obtain a bargain They are not afraid to let the public know their purpose and avail themselves of every honorable means In making them selves and the goods known. They will stand the test. The Two Faced Friend. Much of the so-called friendship of the day Is but pretence. It Is nothing more than two faces under one hat brim. It exists only In name and as soon as It ceases to be advantageous It is dropped. The friendship that continues the same in prosperity is to be prized, but all other kinds are worthless. It matters not how hard a man may struggle to do right and make a success of life there is always some loathsome reptile, some worth less wretch who Is ready to drag him down, to blight his hopes and blast his fondest ambitions The loss of monev and property Is not the great est loss a man can sustain In the bus iness world; far better to lose your money than to lose hope and ambi tion. Lyon S, Dabnev 3. On Saturday, Sept. 22nd, Lyon and Dabney played a very onesided game or ball on the Horner ball ground In Oxford. The Lyon team out classed the Dabney team as ball players. The Lyon boys are very small, but they have the nerve that It takes to play ball, so thev keep "ginger" In the game from start to finish. The only runs Dabney got was from an error by Mr. Beasley a wild throw to catcher from center field In the eighth Inning. The features of the game was the nice work of Whltaker on second base and the pitching of the sixteen year old C. Fleming for Lyon. In Tact the whole team played "gilt edge" ball.

Osborn, of Motongo, Arkansas, arrived In Oxford Tuesday mornlngaccompanled by Col. William Osborn, of Greensboro, to visit the scenes of his youth. In the afternoon he walked about town and returned to the home of Mr. C. I). Osborn feel ing as though he was a stranger in a strange land, as he remarked: "In my walk I did not see a single person that I knew, nor did a single person know me." Mr. Osborn Is the 9th son of the late Mr. Jonathan Osborn and the only one living, and Is re membered by a few of the old residents of the county. Heleft Oxford 40 years ago, and during that time paid only one visit, which was 2n years ago, and since that time the old town has almost entirely changed its citizen ship. We hope however, Mr. Os born will enjoy his visit to the dear old place where he first gotagllmpse of the glorious light given us by the Great Ruler of the Universe. Good Time Eating. The lovers of barbecue were in their glory last Thursday night at the home of Mr. J. S. Hobgood about miles from town. He is an expprt in preparing this elegant dish, and this time had some of the best we ever had the pleasure of enjoying, along with hot coffee, brumswlck stew, hot huscult and elegant butter. He was assisted by Messrs. Fred Currln, Roy Currln, Titus Currln and TrlmAverett, and the supper was pronounced the best that has been served In many moons. About 30 of Oxford's jolly men gathered around the long table and partook largely of the elegant supper. There were several of our champion eaters on hand, notably Messrs. Brooks Parham, T. W. In ston. HUlman Cannady, C. W. Bryan and Col. H. G. Cooper. The contest was a warm one.and finally narrow ed down to Messrs. Cannady and Parham, which was finally declared a draw as both laid down their knives and forks about the same time, amid the cheers of their well filled and hap py friends. The party returned to town about 8 o'clock greatly pleased with the evenings entertainment, and are now no doubt ready xo attend another such a tempting supper. Fall Millinery Opening.

Visitors to our town are' Impressed with tlie'excellence of the Smith Llth la Water, many of them havlug been greatly benefitted by drinking lt.Thls fact has led The Public Ledger, to gether with some of our business men, to conceive the Idea that it would be a good thing to form a stock compa ny to pipe this water Into town erect a first class hotel, and make Oxford a regular health resort. Such an en terprlsd would Interfere In no way with the excellent commercial hotel conducted by oar friend L. F. Smith, but would attract a class of visitors who would come to Oxford to enjoy our healthful climate and drink our healing mineral water. This undertaking lsentlrely practi cable, would add to Oxford's prestige as the second healthiest town In the United States, and make our beauti ful llttleclty the most attractive plact of residence In the State. We do not need more merchants or more professional men, we are well supplied, both In number and ability. We need more enterprises where wealth can be created and whereby homes and families may be maintain ed and our population built up. Let us be brothers In the upbuild ing of each other, and this spirit Is absolutely essential to theenjoyment of the brightest success. Death of Mr. Frank Taylor.

It pur pose is to provide a home, proper care and training fordestltute home less orphan children to the end that they may be saved to God and the world. The benefits of this institution have never been restricted to the ch!Mr-n of .Masons alone, hut children of any white parents who are really In des titute condition or homeless, provid ed they nre sound in body and mind and not under six or over fourteen years of age, can find a home there. About two thousand four hundred children have been cared for since It was founded, and there are now about two hundred and Seventy live finding a comfortable home and good moral training. Alany of these children are among the most useful Christian Citizens of this and other States. Who knows what they would have been without the protecting, restraining and help ing hand extended by the Oxford Or phan Asylum in the time of this great est peril, weakness and helplessness. Who can estimate the power of this institution In receiving lives, in equlq ing for valuable service the homeless boys and girls of North Carolina. In connection with the Concert which will be held in the Opera House Oct. 5th. for the benefit of the Orphan Asylum the Alasonlc Lodge of Oxford has appointed a Committee to can vass the township of Oxford as well asthetown.placlngtheclalms of this Institution before all of its citizens. This cause needs no urging in this community. We all know what the Asylum Is doing; the question Is wll you be one to help raise the ."?200.00 which the Committee Is trying to raise. This Is a modest request, when we consider that this cause has not been thus urged here for two years and we believe there will be no dlili culty In r.iislng the amouut.
