We call our readers attention to the
change in the advertisement of the
Oxford Savings Bank in another part
of this paper. It continues to grow in
popular favor with the people as a
place to put their earnings.
In Mayor Lyon's article on the
Creedmoor dispensary we made him
say that a majority of ministers of all
denominations were in favor of a dis
pensary, when he wrote a "majority
of the members of churches." We
gladly make the correction.
We call the special attention of the
ladies of Oxford and the county to the
white goods and embroidery advertise
ment of Messrs. Long, Blalock &
Haskins, as they have just received a
beautiful line of these early spring
goods. They should be seen to be ap
preciated. Mr. W. P. Fife, who several years
ago conducted the largest revival meet
ing in Oxford ever known in this part
of the State, died suddenly a few days
320 in a hotel at St Louis. He was.
engaged in the mining business and is
said to have been worth more than
$300,000.
Mrs. Eliza Frazier died at her home
near Whetstone Saturday morning af
ter a short illness, and the editor ex
tends much sympathy to the grief
stricken loved ones. She was a mem
ber of Mountain Creek Baptist church
and was greatly esteemed by her
neighbors and friends.
-
By reference to the statement of the
First National Bank of Oxford in an
other part oi this paper it will be seen
that it continues to grow in volume of
business under wise and conservative
management, enjoying the confidence
of the people as the officers are polite
and accommodating.
The old reliable Bank of Granville
and Oxford Savings Bank publish an
other statement in this issue of the
Public Ledger, both of which make a
good showing, growing stronger and
stronger as the days roll by. Both in
stitutions are admirably conducted and
carry a large amount of deposits.
Somebody wants to know what is
the matter with Stacy? Why "he's
all right," and just the very man you
are looking for to do your plumbing
and steam fitting and repair your ma
chinery. You can find him on Wall
Street, and we want you to read Stacy

MUST HAVE GOOD LUCK 19G7.!lS7'S
Two of our Excellent Policemen
Hunting Rabbits Feet.
Two of our policemen, Samuel M.
Wheeler and Lonnie Smith, took an
unfair advantage of Ernest Bragg, the
night policeman, last Monday morn-,
ing. Knowing that Pragg had been I
up all night and would go to bed in
the early morning to get his well earn
ed sleep, Wheeler and Smith decided
to provide themselves with a talisman
to ward off all bad luck during li)07.
Accordingly they went rabbit hunting
in the cemetery. It is easy to find rab
bits when there is snow on the ground.
So Wheeler and Smith soon tracked
two cotton tails to their beds among:
the graves, scared them up, ran them
down and caught them, keeping as
much noise as two' badly wind-broken
horses. As sprinters Wheeler and
Smith are noted winner of foot races
all over the State. A rabbitt in the
snow has no chance to escape these
swift footed minions of the law.
They carefully cut off the left hind
foot of each rabbit, Wheeler taking:
one and Smith the other, vowing that
they would wear these feet near their
hearts during the balance of 1907.
As Major Devin is up against a
campaign they should have caught a j zor use it 30 days, if not per
third rabbit and presented him with a j fectl Satisfactory I will refund
foot as he too is anxious for good luck
to come his way this year.
The left hind foot of a graveyard j
rabbit is undoubcdly lucky so that
Wheeler and Smitli feel that they will
rake in big fees in 1907.
Going Abroad.
A winter cruise to summer lands.
A party of Oxonians is preparing to
visit the shores of the Mediteranian.
The party will be composed of Mrs. J.
H. Horner, Miss Horner, Miss Gra
ham, Miss Kate Horner and Miss Ger
trude Winston. They propose to leave
New York City in February and go
direct to Naples, spending April in
Home returning to England in time
to see Horner Winston take his degree
at Oxford in June. They expect to
get back home in August.
DO YOU KNOW
That Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
the only medicine sold through druggists
for woman's weaknesses and peculiar ail-
merits that does not contain large quanti
ties of alcohol? It is also the only medicine,
especially prepared for the cure of the
delicate diseases peculiar to women, the
maker oi which is not afraid to take his
patients into his full cof!'.1ence, by print
ing upon each bofle wi itpi"-' tne higre
dient cutting into the medicine. Ask
your druggist If this i?j not true.
"Favorite Prescription," too, is the only
medicine for women, all the Ingredients
of which have the unqualified endorse
ment of the leading medical writers of the
several schools of practice, recommend
ing them for the cure of the diseases for
which the- "Prescription" is advised.
Write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.,
for a free booklet, and read the numer
ous extracts from standard medical au
thorities praising the several ingredients
of which Dr. Pierce's medicines are made,
and don't forget that no other medicines
put up for sale through druggists for do
mestic use can show any such professumnl
endorsement. This, o'f itself, is of far
more weight and importance than any
amount of so-cailod "testimonials" so
conspicuously flaunted before the public,
in favor of the alcoholic compounds.
The "Favorite Prescription" cures all
woman's peculiar weaknesses and de
rangements, thus banishing the periodical
headaches, backaches, bearing-down dis
tross. tenderness and draging-down sen
sations in lower abdomen, accompanied
bv weakening and disagreeable catarrhal,
pelvic drains and kindred symptoms.
Dr. Pierce and his staff of skilled spe
cialists may be consulted free by address
ing as above. All correspondence is
treated as sacredlv conlidential. By con
sulting in this way the disagreeable
questionings and personal "examinations "
are avoided.
The Peonie's Common Sene Medical
Adviser contains some very interesting
and valuable chapters on the diseases
ueculiar to women. It contains over one
thousand pases. It is sent post paid, on
receipt of sufficient in one-cent stamps x
pav cost of mailing only, or 21 cents for
a copy in flexible paper covers, or 31. cents
for a cloth-bound copy. Address Dr. E. V.
Pierce as above.
Dr. Pierce's Pellets regulate and invig
orate stomach, liver and bowels. One
a laxative, two or three cathartic.
