Am 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. 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.

You cannot climb the heavenly ladder on stilts of dignity. Kumor has It that another bank Is to be established In Oxford. The life work of some people seems to be criticising others. The large porches of the Francis Milliard School are being repaired. With one foot In the grave some people kick at the surrounding tomb stones. If you have money to burn, you can now buy your winter's supply of coal. Mrs, K. T.

Contractor Williams has com menced work on the two nice brick stores of Dr. E. T. White on Main street. Mr. Dudley Bullock Is having his stores on Wall street, which were badly damaged some time ago, re paired. Dr. I. H.

Mr. James Floyd has had his stables and barn painted red as he likes to have things looking neat around his lot. Dr. Moore.

Don't forget to attend the Or phan's Concert at the Opera House this Friday night as you will be high ly entertained as well as help out a noble cause. As a result of the revival conduct ed last week at Enon Baptist church by Kev. George Watkins 17 were bap tized In Tar Ulver Sunday which was largely attended. The Washington Special adver tising the various Industries In Wash ington City was In Oxford Monday atternoon.and was visited by a large number of our people. The Oxford Dispensary was clos ed last Thursday, the day of the Grand Reunion of the Granville vet erans, ana not a single man was seen under the Inlluenceof booze that day; -I5y reference to the quarterly re port of the Oxford Dispensary pub lished elsewhere It will be seen that it continues to Increase In volume of business under the wise and pains taking management of M r. R. Brough ton. Let the vagrant laws be rigidly enforced. Oxford's Mayor should act once. Other cities are driving out the vagrants, and without prompt action many of them may seek a refuge here.

"Vote for Peggy!" Is his In spiring slogan. Tobacco breaks have been large every day during the past week, and the town has been full of farmers. Mr. Z. W.L,yon at the Johnson start ed the week's sale Monday by selling 40,000 pounds at an average of 10 cents round. This Is proof that Ox ford Is undoubtedly the place to sell your tobacco. In speaking of goods going off at reduced prices for cash at the 4 stores of i'arham Bros. Co. Brooks I'arham exclaims: Thou Almighty Dollar, the Kagle On thy Shining face bespeaks thy power; Come and take our goods at Reduced prices for we need thee every hour. When you pull down the town in which Is your home, you are pulling down yourself, and when you build up yourself you are building up your neighbor. Try and banish from your mind the mistaken Idea that all good things are away off in some other locality. Give your town all the praise It can legitimately bear. It certainly will do you no harm and will cost you nothing; and above all patronize your home institutions. A New York firm applied to Abra ham Lincoln some years before he be came President as to the financial condition of a neighbor. Mr. Lincoln replied as follows: "Yours of the 10th Instant received. I am well acquaint ed with Mr. and know his circum stances. First of all he has a wife and baby; together they ought to be worth $50,000 to any man. Second ly, he has an office In which there Is a table worth $1 50, and three chairs worth say $1. Last of all there la in one corner a large rat hole which will bear looking Into.

He Is conservative and will always cast his vote on the side of the peo ple he has the honor to represent. 15111 Nye had the truth well told when he said: "A man may ue a wart on the back of his neck for a collarbutton, ride on the back coach of a railroad train to save Interest on his money till the conductor gets around; stop his watch at night to save wear and tare; leave his 1 or t without a dotor cross to savelnk; pasture his mother s grave to save corn; but a man of this sort Is agen- tleman and a scholar compared to the fellow that will take a newspa per two or three years and when ask ed to pay for It puts It Into the office and has It marked refused."

Nominate a Ticket to be Defeated by the Democrats of Granyille. The Republicans of Granville coun tyiheld their convention In Oxford Saturday and nominated a good tick et to be defeated by the Democrats In November. There were from 90 to 100 present, with not a slugle negro delegate and nominated a full ticket composed of almostentlrely new men. The convention met at 12 o'clock In the Court Room and attended by quite a number of Democrats. Mr. J. H. Gooch, Chairman of the Execu tive Committee, called the convention to order, and after making a short speech criticizing the Democratic par-ty-iW extolling the virtues of the gr&nd old party of graft, greed and tr$58t, called Mr. Pete Thorp to the chair, And requested Mr. T. S. Wal ler to act as secretary. On motion tha ; temporary organization was made permanent. . The nomination's for the respective offices were gone Into and Mr. J. W. Brown In very complimentary terms nominated Mr. BP. Thorp for the Legislature, which was seconded by Mr. J.'T. Cozart, who In his short speech give the law yers and railroads a few raps over thehead, There being no other nom ination Mr. Thorp received the unani mous vote of the convention. The one-time veteran Democrats, who run some years ago for the same po sition on the Democratic ticket and defeated by a "Rad" arose and thank ed the convention for the honor cod fered upon him promising to make a hot campaign against his old Demo cratic friends, and In closing said he wanted to see the time come when tnere would not be a single lawyer In the Legislature. Mr. Coley GUI. the hero of the days of black juries, arose and with much dignity nominated Mr. Ira Lyon for Sheriff, and there being no opposition ion the new convert was unanimous ly nominated. The next nomination was for Reg ister of Deeds and Mr. T. S. Waller was placed In nomination by Mr. J. H. Gooch and seconded by Mr. C. J. Roberts, both gentlemen bestowing encomiums upon Mr, Waller, who was unanimously nominated. Mr. Wal ler accepted the nomination and made the speech of the convention and was warmly applauded. Mr. A.Baker was next unanimous ly nominated for Clerk of Court, and Mr, Thos. Walters for Treasurer. The following were nominated for County Commissioners: C. M. Rogers, C ii: Royster, R. M. Jenkins. J, P. Thomas, and J. H. Gooch, two from Brassfield Township, two from Tal ly Ho, and one from Sassafras Fork. The convention was harmonious, well attended and the ticket Is the beet the Republicans can put up in the county, while, of course, the party which is now composed of white men, cannot hope to poll more than enough votes to make things a bit lively and maintain their organiza tion. Most of the men on the ticket are subscribers to the Public Ledger and personal friends of the editor and while their defeat Is surely Inevitable, wedertaluly appreciate the fact that the party has made a wonderful Im provement In Granville and that the ticket Is the beet nominated by the Republicans in many years. After the work of the convention was offer Postmaster Charley Rey nolds, of Winston, and candidate for defeat by Hon. W. W. Kltchln was present and made rather a rambling peech on the tariff and trusts and the numerous great things the t. O. had done for the country. He said he did not expect to be elected but would continue to reduce Mr. Kitch- n's large majority In the district. Mr. J. J I. Gooch Introduced a long string of resolutions endorsing Pres ident Roosevelt and the party of trust combines and graft. Several sections referred to county aflalrs. favoring working public roads without dis criminating against one section and in favor of another; the election of magistrates by the people, as well as the Board of Education; wanted more school district for the conven ience of the children; opposed the town running the Dispensary, and wanted ltln the handsof Individuals, but favored the hours. We are not certain that we are entirely right as we could not understand Mr. Gooch as he read the long resolutlons.They were unanimously adopted. l hose on the ticket who formerly affiliated with the Democratic pnrtp are; Messrs. B. P. Thorp. Jra Lyon, It. Gooch, R. S. Jenkins, and J. I'. Thomas. The latter was a county commissioner several years ago.
