Do not Endanger Life When a Ox ford Citizens Shows You the Cure. Why will people continue to suffer the agonies of kidney complaint, back ache, urinary disorders, lameness, headaches, languor, why allow them selves to become chronic invalids,when a -ertain cure is offered them? Doan's Kidney Pills is the remedy to use, because it gives to the kidneys the help they need to perform their work. If you have any, even one of the symptoms of kidney diseases,cure your self now, before diabetes, dropsy or bright's disease sets in. Read this Oxford testimony: W. E. Dinkins, Orphan Asylum, Oxford, N. C, says: "Doan's Kid rey Pills proved of such great value to me that I would not be without a supply in the house. I had kidney trouble for a long time, ths principal symptom being a constant, dull pain through the small of my back. If I sat down tor any length of time, my hack would become so lame that I could not arise without grasping some thing for support. It was also difficult ior me to stoop on account of the se vere twinges that would shoot through ixi V body and if attempting to do so it was just as hard for me to regain an trect position. The kidney secretions passed two frequently. I heard so much about Doan's Kidney Pills, that J decided to try them and procured a box at R. L. Hamilton's drug store. They afforded me the long sought for relief and it was not long before every Fvmptom of kidney trouble was driven 'out of my system." For sale by all dealers.

Oxford needs citizens who will To Live in Henderson. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Massenburg who for a number of years have made Oxford their home have moved to Henderson. Their friends in Oxford regret to lose them. The Henderson Gold Leaf says: "The paople of Henderson welcome Mr. W. II Massenburg and family as residents of the town. They have just moved here from Oxford and occupy one of Mr. Edwin Stephens' houses. The Oxford correspondent of the News and Observer in noting the removal says this: The people of this community ex ceedingly regret the departure of Mr. and Mrs. Wi'liam E. Massenburg, who left Monday evening to make their home in Henderson, where jthey will reside until Mr. Massenburg en ters a new field of labor. He has bought tobacco in the interest of the American Tobacco Company in Ox ford tor more than ten years, and is easily accounted one of the finest buy ers on the market," More Corn Prizes.

Correction of Mistake, In some unaccountable way in pub lishing the obituary of Mrs. James H, Horner last week, the name of the writer, Dr. George T. Winston, was omitted.and the error passed unnoticed until the parer had been printed and was being mailed. This was of course very regrettable but the mistake was detected too late to be corrected. Dr Winston, as is well known, is the president of the A. fc M. College and is the brother of Judge R. W. Winston, a son-in-law of Mrs. Horner. Maj. Wm. Landis Returns. Major William Landis returned last week from his buying trip North, The major told a reporter that there is going to be something doing when Landis & Easton gets in all of the big spring consignments.

HUNT An Interesting Letter. The following communication, while signed Citizen, did not come from a "mere man." It shows that the ladies take interest invpublic matters as well as their lesser halves. "The series of very fruitful services conducted by Dr. Wharton at the Baptist church were concluded Sun day. The large auditorium of the Baptist church, with the Sundaj' School room thrown in, were not suffi cient to hold the crowds of all ages, conditions and denominations that dai ly thronged to hear this remarkable divine. The children, the cynic, the theologian, were alike attracted by his eloquence. A little girl who went to hear him exclaimed, "Oh! mama, I like to hear him! He preached so plain that chil dren can understand him." The cynic said, "1 like him; he makes a wonder ful appeal for the Christ life." Of him it may be said: "Truth from his lips prevailed with double sway, And those who came to scoff, remained to pray." It is but one step from the smblime to the ridiculous was said of old. Did the editor inquire why the ma cadamizing machine lies idle, rusting, neglected the fury of the elements descending unobstructed upon its de fenseless head material sufficient to pave a considerable portion of Oxford lying useless beside it? Surely he re members the lever that moved the ma cadamizing machine has been trans f erred to Clarksville, where it is still doing active service, if not in paving streets, in paving pockets. There is nothing left to do now but turn the machinery over to the Improvement Society. And, by tne way, the candidate for mayor who wishes to be elected should lose no time in joining the Improve in en t Society. Women can't vote it is true, but their power behind the throne is great.

Ifeg" Oxford badly needs a live Com j mercial Club. , Considering Pastorium. Dr. Wharton during his services said that he wants the Baptist church to build a home for its minister. He said that the Methodists had their Parsonage, the Episcopalians their Rectory, and the Presbyterians their Manse, and that the Baptists ought to have a "Pastorium," which name was coined by Dr. M. B. Wharton.brother of the evangelist. The Baptists seem ed to think the idea a very good ore for they have appointed a committee to investigate the matter and report next Sunday, when definite action is to be taken. J he committee is com posed of these members: Messrs. S.W. Parker, Chairman, S. H. Smith, J.D. Brooks, L. Thomas, Mrs.John Webb, Mrs. F. P. Hobgood, Mrs. C,D. Ray, and Mrs Nannie B. Yancey. It has secured an option on the property be longing to Miss Maria Landis and has recommended that the church buy it. the property is within a few yards of the church which would be very con venient. All the other churches are well housing their ministers, but up to the present the Baptist have not given the matter much thought. However, the church does not like to be behind her sisters, the other denominations, and no doubt will take the desired step. We hope that the plan will be carried out. It would really be a good investment for the church which is stated to be j entirely out of debt and has money in its treasury. Keeper For Cemetery. A citizen stopped the bald head ed itor the other day and said. "I want you to roast the town com missioners." "Roost 'em. What for? What they been doing?" "Nothing, but I want to get them to do something," the citizen replied"and it won't cost the town much either." "Fire aloose and state your case." "Why," said the citizen, "I want em to hire a keeper for the cemetery.' It stays in bad condition in spite of the money that is spent on it every year." "How much?" "A hundred and fifty or two hund red dollars a year. If the town would put up a small house out there and let the keeper stay in it and give him the $150 or $200 thatis practically thrown away each year, he could keep the cemetery in fine condition and still have a little time to make a little ex tra money. Jump on 'em about it." '1 he citizen's vemarks are herewith respectfully submitted to the city fath ers. We hope they will take the mat ter up and do what is right about it. The citizens of the town want to see that the resting place of their dead is properly kept. Mr. John Thompson, of Route 1, went to Durham Wednesday. Mr. J. G. Alstoa. of Vann, N. C, after a visit to his brother, Willie Als ton has returned to his home. Several communications came in this week too late to be published in this issue.They will appear next week. Mr. W. D.

Bullock & Crenshaw. gH' Oxford needs School Building . a new Graded Big Reunion of Horner Boys. Tuesday night upon the initiative of Mr. A. H. Powell a number of old Horner Boys met in the office of the Registrar of Deeds and resolved them selves into a Horner School Alumni Association preliminary to having a big re union of those who have been students of the famous education al institution. These were the officers elected and the members present: Messrs. N. M. Ferehee S. W. Parker A. H. Powell F. M. Pinnix W. A. Devin A. S. Hall President First V.-Pres. Sec. V.-Pres. Secretary R. W. Lassiter B. K. Lassiter W.C.Conghenour, Jr J.G. Hall James W.Horner Henry Hunt John C. H. F. H. C. L. H. G. Webb Landis Gregory Wright A. H. Powell T. Lanier Wm. Landis B. K. Hays C W. Bryan W. H. Britt Cooper W. T. Yancey By request, Mr. J, C. Horner,prin- cipal of Horner School, was present and joined in the discussions when his views were asked. He was of the opinion that the old boys whe lived in other places would be glad to come to Oxford and have are-union and there fore approved of the suggestion. After finding that the re union was entirely agreeable to Mr. Horner, a committee consisting of Messrs R. W. La?siter, W.A.Devin.S. W. Parker, A. H. Powell, and Wm. Landis, with Dr. Ferebee as ex-officio chairman, was ap pointed to bring before the Association next Monday night such detailed plans as it deems necessary for success of the occasion. The meeting having been very has tily brought aboui; there were a great many old Horner boys who did not know of the movement. The associa tion wants the name of every Horner boy in Oxford and Granville county, and his hearty co-operation in bringing about the re-union. A full meeting of old boys is hoped for Monday night. A Painful Burn. Monday morning while in front of a stove in which the fire had just been made, the door was blown open by the heat and little xMiss Georgia Winston was painfully burned in face and head. Her hair was singed a little and her face considerably scorched. However, the burns were more painful than se rious and in a few days the young la dy will have recovered horn ill effects. Toes and Fingers to Spare. A bouncing boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. Sut Hendrix, of Elk, last week. The new arrival has, we learn, six toes upon each foot and a thumb and six fingers upon each hand. This makes a total of twenty ix fingers and toes, whereas the usual apportionment is only twenty. Wilkas Patriot wi m m Rowan County's Chicken Law. Many inquiries have been made of The Post as to the provisions of the iaw ona,f(i,i uv tu i arn ra w;tu reference to depredations by domestic fowls in Rowan county. For the in formation of the public it may be stat ed that the law provides that when the fowls of one person depredate upon the premises of another.the latter shall give notice to the owner of such fowls. If after this notice the depredations continue the injured party may kill the depredating fowls. For third of. fenses the owner of the fowls becomes guilty of a misdemeanor.-Salisbury Post.

The Woman's Literary Club. The Woman's Literary Club meet- ! mg for February ninth was postponed nil February twenty-third. An enthusiastic meeting of an unus ual nature was held on that date with Mrs. Furman as hostess to grar2 the occasion and give great pleasure by her generous hospitality. The business in hand was the annu al election of officers who will enter upon duty next September, 1909, after the usual summer vacation of the Club.

Punch was then served just in time to sing Auld Lang Syne with cup in hand, each one present responding to the over flowing kindness of all others on this happv occasion. Delicious yellow cream, cake, alm onds and mints followed. The decorations were jonquils and potted greens. Yellow, the sunshine color, suggestive of riches and intellec tual life is the club color. The meeting was a delightiul, and Mrs. Furman must feel happy indeed that her occasion of hostess gave such pleasure. H. M. H. J. G. Halls Unusual Offer. "It isn't often that I have faith enough in the medicine put up by oth er neonle to be willins? to oner to re- -II o fund the money if it does not cure. said J. G. Hall to a .Public Ledger man who dropped into his store, "but 1 am glad to sell Dr. Howard's speci fic for the cure of constipation and dys pepsia on that basis. "The Dr. Howard Company, in or der to get a quick introductory sale, authorizes me to sell their regular fifty cent bottles at half price,2r cents, and although I have sold a lot of it, and have guaranteed every package, not one has been brought back as un satisfactory. There are sixty doses in a vial that can be carried in the vest pocket or purse, and every one has more med icinal power than a big pill or tablet or a tumbler of mineral water. I am still selling the specific at half price, although I cannot tell how long I shall be able to do so, and anyone who is subject to constipation, sick headache, dizziness, liver trouble, in digestion or a general played out con dition, ojght to take advantage of this chance.
