In the confidence of a certain hope, in the Communion of the Catholic Church, on Monday, February ninth, Sophronia Moore Horner, entered into the rest of Paradise. She was a most consistent Christian, whose attachment to her Church never wavered; the faithful training of her children has beautified the lives of those who now rise up and call her blessed. In her death, not only her family and person al friends, but the parish in which she lived and worked and the Church at large have suffered a grievous loss. She was a true example of the finest type of Christian womanhood and of ripe and beautiful age. Out of her own warm heart she gave tender sym pashy, unfailing friendliness, gracious hospital it', wise and kindly judgment. She gave generously of her time, her strength, her means, having a strong sense of her responsibility to influence for good, all those with whom she came in contact. Her upright, unselfish loyal devotion will long be remember ed and live in the hearts of all her co workers in the Master's Vineyard. She has finished her course. She has kept the Faith. She rests in God. Grant her eternal rest, O! Lord. May light perpetual shine upon her. MA III AM M. HORSFIELD, MARY R. DE LA CROIX, ANNA H. LANDIS.

Oxford needs a Building and Loan Association. Confederate Monument, At last the faithful Daughters of the Confederacy begin to see the fruits of their work. For many years, under various and sundry kinds of difficulties, they have been trying to raise enough money to erect a monument to the mem ory of Confederate Soldiers and Sail- SolrJiers Inspected. Tuesday the Granville Grays were inspected in their quarters by Col. Thomas Stringfield. Inspector-general of North Carolina. The boys looked well in their uniforms as they stood at attention while the round was being made. The personel of the Company ors. Judge Graham has just had is excellent, but the drilling was not passed a bill which directs the town j at all up to standard. Something will and county to donate each one thous- j have to be done before the United and dollars to the monument fund j States Army inspector come along or when the ladies shall have raised one ! the boys will catch it a little. thousand. The ladies now have bank ed the thousand dollars, therefore, the been drilled but a few times, conse A number of the boys have not other funds will be forth coming. Mrs. White, the president of the Granville Grays Chapter of the Daugh ters says that on the 10th of May the corner stone of the monument will be laid and the occasion will be made a memorable one. The governor will probably be here to speak and a brass band will be on hand. The monument will be placed at the point where Main Street runs into Hillsboro. The ladies cannot be too highly praised for their untiring work, and the president, Mrs. W. H. White, in particular deserves unstinted praise. These are the members of the Gran ville Grajs Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy: Mr. W. H. White. President, Mrs. A. Landis, 1st V-President Mrs. W. B. Ballou, 2nd V-Pres. Mrs. E. T.

Currin Miss Belle Cooper i quently, the ragged work was natural ly to be expected. In other respects, the company.quar ters, were found in fine condition. Col. Stringfield said that it was a fine lot of fellows and that they had made considerable improvement since last inspection. The company equip ment, clothing, and all other belong ings were properly accounted for. As a gentleman remarked while the small arm inspection was under way, this company ought to be the leading one in the third regiment. The mem bers are thoroughly capable of taking this place and all they need to do it is a, little rigid work. The inspection this year shows that everything is better than when the company was overhauled last spring. The arms, clothinc, equipment, and everything else was properly looked after, and the new building is being fitted up for habitation and the new lockers are being installed. When these are completed and the other interior work that is contemplated is done, no company need ask a better home. It is hoped that the Grays will be come not only the best company in the regiment but the best company in the State. It has opportunities now that it did not have before and it is hoped that the most of them will be made. Granville Grays for a number of dec ades have set a heavy pace and the Grays of to-day must maintain that record, as they will undoubtably .do. The inspection by a United States Army officor will take place on the Visitor in Oxford. Mr. and Mrs. I. S. Field, of Balti- more,were in Oxford from Wednesday j 24th, Captain Bob Wood says that to Thursday of last week. Mr. Field is the Secretary of the Manufacturers Record, the best industrial journal published, and one of the South's staunchest friends. Mr. Field was extremely well pleased with Oxford and predicted for it a great future. He expects to make another visit whenev er a suitable opportunity presents itself.

All who wish to enter the State and County corn growing contestwill please write at once to County Superintendent for information and blanks to be filled. In the State contest the age limite are 12 to 17 years, and all the work must be done by the boy. It has been de cided however to remove these restric tions in the county contest and allow any boy under 19 years to enter and get what help he can in the cultivating. It is suggested that the fathers parents give the boy the corn raised on the aere and also offer some additional prize if he wins either state or county prize. The State prizes are $50, $30 and $20. The amount of the county prizes have not been announced yet but will be worth trying for. There will be no charge whatever for those who enter the contest, so you cannot lose whether you win a prize or not. J. F. WEBB, County Supt. of Schools.
