TO THE HOUSEWIVES.
When a mere man has something to
say to a woman and can't get his nerve
up to the point of saying it he goes
way out in a quiet retreat and pens his
heart throbs and slinks oii" in tremb
ling and fear to await the answer. At
least, that is the charge preferred
against him.
That idea has appealed to the edi
tors, and this week they will test the
merits of it.
We have something to say to the
ladies of the Village Improvement So
ciety and dare not present the petition
in person.
We beg to notify the ladies of. the
Society that there are going to be three
bir days in Oxford between now and
July, and that a general town clean
ing &)d furbishing up would be in ex
cellent order. Their husbands, broth
ers, sons, grandchildren, sweethearts,
attinities, and other brutes every day
throw scraps of paper, cigar stumps,
bills, and other useless rubbish on the
streets will not make a very nice ap
pearance for the strangers who come in
our midst.This old own upon the three
occasions should shine and glisteu like
.Spotsville.
We therefore very timidly and very
re-pectly ask the ladies to spare enough
time from their domestic duties to
properly put the burgh in order upon
each day preceding the three; the 10th
of May, the 26th of May and the 24th
of June. We trust that they will put
in motion brooms, hoes, picks,shovels,
etc. And if any of their masculine
kin try to obtrude their opinions, the
ladies should silence the mutineers
with hat- or rolling pin.
Picnic.
Written by request:
There will be a basket picnic Eastor
Monday at W. D. Hicks' Store in
Vance county, four miles east of Stov
all. There will be an egg hunt at 10
o'clock a. m. Prof. J. C. Kittrell,
Superintendent of Public Schools of
Vance county, anil other distinguished

this important occasion. We invite
Supt. Webb, of Granville, to be pres
ent and take part. There will be a
game of baseball in the afternoon.
There will be present many kind
and big hearted folks of middle and
old age;also there will be clever young
men, and plenty of pretty girls.

writes Mrs. Mary Hudson, of Eastman, Miss., "tools
my advice, which was, to take Cardui. She was
staying with me and was in terrible misery, but Car
dui helped her at once.
COMFORTING WORDS.
Many a Oxford Household will Find
Them So.
To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed; to be entirely free
from annoying, dangerous urinary dis
orders is enough to make any kidney
sufferer grateful. To tell how this
great change oau be brought about
will prove comforting words to hun
dreds of Oxford readers.
Mrs. A. J. Dal by, corner Main and
Front streets, Oxford, N. C, says: "I
received great benefit from Doan's
Kidney Pills and cheerfully recommend
them to anyoue suffering from kidney
trouble. 1 was a victim of this com
plaint for a long time and was also in
misery from inteuse backaches and
pains through my kidneys. I was un
able to rest well and upon arising in
the morning, I was so tired . andlan
guid that it was quite an effort for me
to get about Finally the kidney se
cretions became irregular and contain
ed a heavy sediment. From this sym
ptom, f concluded that my kidneys
were at fault and accordingly procured
a box of Doan's Kidney Pills from R.
JL Hamilton's drug store. They soon
proved their effectiveness and 1 had
only taken them a short time when the
backache and other difficulties disappeared."

The owners of Tar Valley Manufacturing Company
have felt for years that the local public had tired of the
crude and antiquated mills that were accessible; but
while appreciating this have wondered if the puolic
would prefer to patronize a HOME MILL equipped to
compete with the BEST ANYWHERE. At length the
doubts were dispelled by reasoning that the distant
mills were patronized and their products purchased
wholly on accunt of a lack of equal facilities more ac
cessible. Adhering firmly to , this conclusion the Tar
Valley Manufacturing Co., set about at very great ex
pense to build and equip a mill of large capacity with
the very best and latest machinery feeling assured that
as soon as its facilities were accessible to the public the
public would promptly respond to its support by a lib
eral patronage. For more than a year the tedious work
of construction has gone forward but the day of com
pletion of the undertaking has almost arrived. It is
with much pleasure therefore that the Tar Valley Man
ufacturing Company announces that its new and
thoroughly modern Roller Flour Mills will be in opera
tion about April the 20th.
This mill is located at the site of the old Minor &
Beasley mill on Tar River about seven miles from Ox
ford, on what is known as the Fish Dam Road. It is
bran new throughout and will have a daily capacity of
80 barrels of flour and 600 bushels of meal. It is fitted
throughout with the latest and most approved machin
ery all operated .by water power. The public will be
especially interested to know that a very complete mill
for grinding together corn and cob for stock has been
provided, having a daily capacity of 50 tons, another
great convenience is a large power corn sheller having
a daily capacity of 1250 bushels. The machinery for
grinding wheat is so full and complete as to assure the
largest possible yield of flour. These are but a few de
tails. The completion and perfection of this mill plant
can be fully appreciated only after a personal visit and
a trial. It has no superior in the State.
The foregoing is preliminary to a very cordial invi
tation to the public to have trial loads of both wheat
and corn ready by April the 20th for the christning of
this clean new mill. It is very attractively located in
the valley of the Tar. The new mill building is com-
modious and the place generally a pleasant one to visit.
The people who haul their grain to mill will have
the satisfaction that never existed befoie in this part
of the State as the mill is of such capacity that no wait
ing or coming back will be necessary. The mill will
be open at all hours DAY and NIGHT. Those who
try earliest will soonest experience the satisfactions of
having accessible a mill of the finest equipment for the
production of flour and meal of the HIGHEST quality.
-Those desiring to forward by rail will ship to Tar
River station on the Seaboard Air Line Railroad. Such
shipments will be handled at the mill on the same day
of arrival and shipped back to station of consigners
with return charges paid.
In making such shipments notify Tar Valley Manu
facturing Companv by letter inclosing bill of lading.
