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 othe ? 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 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. 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. 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. JUST RECEIVED !

The proportion of men, who won't take good advice, and use the least-gallona paint. Is about one In ten among even owners of houses and stores and shops and barns and fences One man In ten will buy a gold brick or green goods, if he has the money and gjts a good chance. Devoe at $1.75 a gallon Is better than gold; adulterated and short measure paints are green goods and gold bricks. Devoe saves half, more or less, of the labor and wagon of painting; It Is all paint; full strength and full meat) ure. There Is no other paint within ten per cent. Ten per cent of labor and paint Is worth saving; and ten Is the least. There are scores of paints that throw-away half of both gal- onsand labor on whiting, china-clay- ground stone, barytes, benzine, wa ter all they are good for is to make gallons of nothing and look like paint in the can; more gallons to buy and more gallons to pay for puttln-on gold bricks and green goods. Here's how they work. .Judge I. D. Falrchlld owns two houses exactly alike In Lufklu, Tex. .1. H. Torrence painted both houses; one Devoe, 15 gallons; the other with another paint sold at same price; 25 gallons. That 25 gallon paint Is weak and 15 per cent whiting; that's why it took ) gallons more. Yours truly F. W. DEVOE & CO. New York. P. S, Balrd & Chamblee sells our paint. A GUARANTED CURE FOR PILES.

Judge Graham, the veteran campaigner, and other members of the Oxford bar will take part In the discussion from time to time with the candidates. But Senator Hicks and Gen. Bev. S. Royster are old campaigners and will highly entertain the people. We hope our people all over the county will turn out at the appoint ments and take an Interest In the campaign Let the Democrats of the county realize not only the duty of voting on election day, but the duty of personal work as well. Let our precinct committees and others see to It that the people attend these meetings and do all they can to arouse Intprest and enthusiasm In the cause True we are going to carry the elec tion by a large majority, but we want to bring the Republicans beneath such a wave of ballots that they will hardly show their heads next time. And just here we wish to call the attention of the Registrars and oth ers to see to It that those who are entitled to vote are registered, and do everv thing neccessary to bring out tne fullest vote.

Dixon, State Auditor of Raleigh, was in Oxford Tuesday night and addressed the people at the Court House on the political 1s eties of the day. Dr. Dixon spoke for about an hour and made a most entertaining and instructive speech. He Is a finished orator and tells an excellent story and never falls to hold the attention of his audience. His speech here dealt with both State and National ques tions, though it was mainly devoted to State matters. The tariff was briefly but forceful ly discussed. It was shown how the hard earnings of the people were las- en from them by the Insidious tariff laws. The speaker reviewed the spot less record of the Democracy of North Carolina and contrasted It with the Republican Record, and answered the charges of Chairman Adams and other Republican bosses as to expen ditures under Democratic rule, com pletely demolishing their specious ar gument. We are sorry that there was not a large attendance as our people ouly had a few hours notice of the speak ing. Dr. Dixon lived in Oxford for a number of years, being at onetime Superintendent of the Oxford Orphan Asylum and has many friends In Ox ford and Granville county, and Is al ways sure of a hearty welcome to Oxford. . . . . . Orphan Asylum Concert and Those who Contributed to Noble Cause. The campaign for the benefit of the Orphan Asylum singing class and subscription to the Asylum ended with the Concert on Friday night. We are sure all who of the large audience who were present on that occasion enjoyed It. The committee wish In this way to thank all for the kind reception and encouragement they universally received while trying to perform this labor of love for this noble Institu tion. We feel sure that the example set and Interest taken by the home town In the Asylum must do far more than the money contributed In ItH moral effect throught the State. We-wish especially to acknowledge our Indebtedness to Major W. E. Massenburg for the use of the Opera House free of charge and also to Mr. J. T. Brltt for tne use of the columns of the Public Ledger In advertising the concert for which he made no charge. They were both valuable contributions to the caune and re lieved It of considerable expense. We thank them most kindly. We b.'g also to present a list of the contributors to the cash subscription which was taken before the concert. R. L. BROWN. R. G KITTRELL. PETE BULLOCK, P. T. FARA BOW. Committee.
