New Advertisements. Business folks are beginning to get the springjoyousness and are becoming talkative. They seem to be as lively as crickets. Samuel Davis, the hardware man at Clarksville, has a big exhibition to be held on the 19th. His announcement will be found on another page and will be worth your while to read. Long, Blalock fc Haskins have goods rolling in and their force is as busy as bees in a tar barrel. They have a big advertisement on another page, in which they tell what beauti ful and good things they have to offer the public. Look it up. The Savings Bank and Trust Com pany have a new financial talk that can easily be found and is worth read ing. The Granville Real Estate fc Trust Company, a progressive, business-like firm, would like to get your ear to pour in some sound real estate chat. J. L.

C, .March 8, 1909 Whereas the ladies of Oxford have recently shown their interest in and appreciation of the Granville Grays by giving an entertainment for their benefit; and whereas the members of the Company desire to express their thanks to those who aided in this en tertainment, therefore be it resolved: 1. That we hereby tender to the ladies of Oxford who so generously and kindly gave this entertainment for the benefit of the Granville Grays,our sincere thanks for this work in our be half. 2. That these resolutions be spread upon the records of the Company. o. That copy be furnished the Pub lic Ledger with request to publish the same. Unanimously adopted J. ROBT. WOOD, Captain. Evangilistic Revival. The Rev. Dr. Wharton, of Phila delphia, is conducting a series of revi vals at the Baptist church and two serTices a day are being held. These are well attended; last Sunday night every inch of available standing room was crowded, and the congregations during week services have been large. Members of all denominations are at tending and numerous converts have been made. The services will close about Saturday when Dr. Wharton will leave for Raleigh. Boys' Corn Growing Contest. Interest in the Boy Corn Contest is growing rapidly. From all over the county contestants are entering. It was announced in last week's Ledger that there are three State prizes, $50, $30, and $20 for the first, second, and third best acres respectively. These prizes apply to the whole State. The county prizes, announced elsewhere, are open only to the boys in this county. The buggy offered by The Taylor-Cannady Buggy Company and the harness giv en by Horner Bros will be awarded as first prize to the boy making the larg est yield. The others will be divided into two or more prizes to be given to those who come next in order. Appli cation blanks are ready for distribu tion. Don't forget that unless your application is on file you will not be counted in the contest The boys who expect to win in this race must use brains as well as muscle. Get down to work and see who will ride in that new buggy and enjoy the other good things. For further information write to J, F. Webb. Mr. N. F. Bennett, of Stem, planted twelve thousand hills oftobac ce, less than three acres, last season, and made 2,727 pounds of tobacco, which brought him $615.14, an aver age of over 23 cents per pound for his crop.

B. the State's determination to offer three ; Cohen tfc Son.of Baltimore, Maryland, prizes totalling $100 to the 3 boys in the State who raised the best acre of corn during the year. Of course, the conditions as laid down in the an nouncement must be observed. The idea has struck Superintendent Webb so forcibly that he has interest ed himself in the contest. The result is that our local business men are go ing to give very handsome and valua ble prizes. All the boys between the ages of twelve and seventeen should make arrangements to get control of one acre and plan out their work. Superintendent Webb will be glad to send out blanks to all the juvenile farmers who want to enter the contest. These business men whose names fol low have promised to give the prizes as enumerated below. Many others will later add other premiums and the sum total of all the offerings will run up in the hundreds of dollars.
