L Booth is building con ven- ient new stables on his lot on College street. ... Nature must have made a mistake when she provided the rooster with a comb and no hair. S Beware of the woman who talks about heaven in church, and about her neighbors on the street. The nice resilience of Mr. LVJ. Steed is rapidly going up, and adds much to the looks of Rectory street. The front of Brinkley's Photograph Gallery, on Main street, has been treated to a coat of red paint. Your own business can afford to wait, just so you keep up with the de tails of other people's business. $ The following is the honor roll of Edgewood School: Otis Eakes, Willie Satterwhite and Fred Satterwhite.

Gregory of Stovall, who has been sick, is hi.ni- self again and ness. looking after his busi- $ One of the greatest improvements on College street is the repainting of the Episcopal Rectory, and JJev. and Mrs. Horsfield have quite a convenient home. " It pays to read the advertisements of enterprising home merchants. They are the people who make it possible to ! have conveniences right at your door, so to speak. After a hard fight the bill to estab lish a Dispensary at Creed moor has passed the Legislature, and the blind tigers and jug trade will soon , have to ; go out of business. 'Marly of our exchanges are publish ing etiquette rules for 'phone use. We would like to add one. If you happen to hear something over the 'phone that is not meant for you, it is not best to repeat it. $ While it was dark nights the ground hog held on to the arc lights, but now as the moon sheds its brilliant rays at night he has turned them loose,and now rivals the moon in brilliancy.

M. Morning subject "The Confession of Infidels." Evening "The Sinners Friend." Jr The reservoir at the new well of the Oxford Water & Electric Co. is being constructed, and when complet ed our people will have some fine min eral water to drink. We now have other needed improve ments and must have seweragre if Ox ford is to continue its onward march. It is a necessity, as the public conven ience and the public health both de mand it. One of the chief improvements need ed in Oxford now is an up-to-date sew erage system. Water without sewer age is largely a failure. We are glad to know of the movement to put in a good system." The editor is gratified to learn that his good old friend, Mr. T. B. Daniel, one among the best men in Granville county who has been quite sick at his home on Route 1 is gradually improv ing to the joy of his loved ones and many friends. ' . Col. R. B.

Tuesday and it was found that fire had started in the rear part of Judge Graham's residence, probably the cook room. But before the fire companies reached there the fire had, been extinguished, and we are glad to; say that the damage was slight. The Legislature has, we think very wisely passed the act for the establish ment of a dispensary at Creedmeor. A very large majority of the people were in favor of it, and we take it that the people of a community should have the right to regulate their own affairs in general as welUasto say whether or notx whiskey should be sold in their section. It seems to us that this is democracy. Gadding About Habit. If there is one thing that sends a keen pain through the Onlooker's heart it is the sight of young girls parading ! the streets too freel They cannot realize with what pity they are regard ed and their parents cannot, else they would keep them more closely at home. This "gadding about" habit, as the women folk express it, will destroy a pristine freshness and charming nian- iners quickly and thoroughly. The Onlooker often sees girls on the streets almost constantly through the day, and he as well as others, know that they have no business errands enough to keep tiiem there It is the innate love of excitement, the desire to attract attention, the rest lessness in their souls, that causes them to be away from the parental roof so much away from the tender and kindly restraint of a loving moth er. Mothers are your girls gadding about freely? You may not have re alized it before, but stop and think a moment. Do your daughters remain at home as they should? We are not personal in these re marks at all far from it, they are simply impelled by a thread of thought that possessed us temporarily J ONLOOKER.
