Only The Whole Country is Waking up to the Importance of This Great National Movement Now on Foot. The whole country North and South is taking up with a vim the National Capital Highway Route Far-sighted-folks along the line are working hard to secure the boon, for it will be the biggest of growth producers that could be desired. The route that would pass Oxford is the natural roadway, for it possesses the advantages of being the nearest approach to an air line, the inducements to be had in a naturally well drained, well constructed line of roadway which can be put in excellent con dition at less cost than would be the case with the other proposed routes. Furthermore, the cost of maintenance would be proportionally small and other advan tages not possessed by any of the other routecs is the iron bridge at Clarksville, which has been a stong factor for our line. All our folks need to do is to get right together, stay together, and keep our interests before the cam mission as our scared compet itors are doing. We've the ar gument. Now let's give it out. Mrs. L. C. Harris Dead. On the afternoon of Tuesdaj' Au gust 31st at 12:58 p, m. The com munity was aroused by a very sad alarm. The message was Mrs. Martha W- Harris is dead. Her deatl was not unexpected. Mrs. Har ris had been sick for about a year and during the whole time of her sickness she was very patient and always praying. Her last request was for her people and friends to meet her n Heaven. Mrs. Harris joined the church in her 19th year and since that time she has been a true follower of Christ and a great help for her church and community. She was 66 yeads of age. On Feb ruary 14th she was married to Mr. L. C. HarrisMjs. Harris was a true and faithful wife and a devoted mother. She leaves to mourn her death her faithful husband, Mr.L. C. Harris and her dear children.Mrs Rosa Longinire, Messrs. W. D. L. T .A T.. and P. Harrs and a great hostof friends. The burial service .took place at her home on Wednesday after noon at 3 o'clock by her pastor. Rev. A. S, Barnes. Her favorite hymn, Jesus Lover of My Soul, Asleep in Jesus; Nearer My God to Thee Were sung. Her remains were laid away to rest in the fam ily buying ground. A FRIEND. A Sad Death. The community around Gray Rock church was made sad on August. 31st 1909, when the Death Angel entered the home of Mr.Len Harris and took from it the beloved wife and mother. Mrs. Harris was sister of the late Davis Blackley, , Esq. She leaves to mourn tor her a husband, one daughter,Mrs, Rosa Longmire, and four sons, Messrs. WillS, L. T. , Athial and P. H. Harris, besides a host of lov ing friends -and relations. Mrs. Harris had suffered for about a year with that dread disease, drop- sv. and all that loving hands and good Dr. J. A- Morris could do was done, but itseemed as if nothing could stay the Jiaud of Death. Truly a good woman has gone to her reward. She was a most consis tent church member, having been a member of Gray Rock Metho dist church lor fifty years.Mrs. Harris was sixty years old. To the bereaved children we wouid snv that we know the idea of giving her up is hard, but you should look to Jesus and be com forted. MARY E. B.

Colonel William Lassiter and Wife the Guest of Brother's Family Officer Recently Promoted. Lieutenant-colonel William Las siter, TJ. S. A .,and Mrs .Lassiter, lately of Texas, where the colonel ha been on staff duty, are in Oxford the guests of Mr. Robert W. Lassi ter , his brother. He has recently been promoted from his majority the commission of lieutenant-colonel being dated from September the 4th. While Colonel Lassiter has not received his orders which are daily expected, it is more than probable that he may be sent to the Philip ines and attached to the Fourth In fantry. It may be, however, that, as as the regiment has been in the tropics for some time and is due to be replaced byanother in about ten months, the colonel may be assign ed toa home regiment . In case he is sent out of the coun try, itwill make the third time that Colonel Lassiter has been in the Philipines, he having spent five years in his two former times of residence there. His associations there have been pleasant and the prospects of a third trip are not unpleasant. Colonel Lassiter has 38 j-ears of efficient service to his credit, and is entitled to retire under the 30 year clause, but he has no inclination to leave the service in which he has dis guished himself a number of times. In the charge of San Juan Hill du ring the daysof theSpanish war, he received a very serious wound, hav ing been pierced through the mid- die of the body by a bullet. The many friends of C!nl and Mra Lassiter -are glad of the opportuni ny of renewing their acquaintance and are glad to learn of the colonel's promotion. ANOTHER VETERAN GONE. Richard David Brooks Passes A way While his Comrades Were Hav ing Reunion at Charlotte Was 'Good Man and Gallant Soldier. While the old veterans were enjoying their reunion at Char lotte, N. C. last wreek one of their comrades passed away in Gran ville county. Richard David Brook was born in Person county, N. C, October 17, 1841, and died Aug. 25, 1909, aged about 68 years. He was a member of Co. G. 30 N. C.Troops. He volunteered in his native county, went through the war, and proved himself a good and true soldier. He was pres ent and displayed manhood and marked bravery in the battles of Chancellorsville, Fredicksburg. Sev en Pines and Gettysburg. He bore in his body to the grave the marks of faithfulness and patriotism. One of his old compauy, W. Joseph Bad gett, was present and acted as a pallbearer at the burial Just after the war he married Mrs., Bettie Dean Sizemore, daughter of the late Moses C. Dean, of Gran ville county. To them were born ten children, four boys and six girls, all of whom are living ex cept Mrs.Lula A. Currin. Some .thirty years ago he was baptized into the fellowship of Hes ter's Baptist church and became a good soldier of Christ. As a church member he was attentive active, sympathetic, thoughtful and exemplary. His natural goodness and personal purity and pity gave him an influence second to none in every good word and work. He was a pillar in the church to sup port its work, its worship and its high character. As a man and cit izen, lie was perfectly reliable strictly nonest, considerate and on ly helpful. He was not without faults, but in his humility and want of self-seeking, they not offen sive or glaring. Such a man will be greatly miss ed no where more than at home and among his kindred. He was honored by his sons, and his daughters and two score grand children rise up and call him be loved. Last fall he suffered from a slight stroke of paralysis that affected his memory and activity In this way God prepared his friends and family for his de parture. When the end came,by the same kind agency, he was lifted above conscious suffering and protracted illness, into the rest that remaineth to the finally faithfnl. We thank God for his beautiful example,' his loving spir it and his unostentatious but helpful life. His body rests by the of her who was his greatest earth ly comfort and blessing in the Dean Cemetery. R. H. M. The Buildings Operations. A great deal of, building is going on in Oxford, and good to relate all of it is of a substantial nature. There is no boom, but the town is grow ing so steadly that more room and floor space s demanded. The pro gressive citizens are simply making a supply for the demand. The people do not really realize the significance of the changes and development. In an issue or two the Ledger is going to round up the com mercial situation and give some thing in detail o fthe progress seen everywhere in Oxford. Notice.

The Granville Real Estate & Trust Company is, at its own ex pense, placing advertising in sev eral magazines for the purpose of attracting visitors to Oxford in the hope that a verydesirable class of people will move here to live and invest in our community. The firm is lead to do this on account of inquiries received inthe past. Since the expense of the undertaking is to be borne exclusively by the com pany, it certainly behooves the cit izens of the town to see that any such visitors are properly looked af ter. As the advertisements are to ap pear in magazines, this class of vis tors will expect to remain for some length of time when they find suit able, comfortable homes, and the accommodation received will large ly influence their future plans. We hope there will be no lack of good entertainment for this very de sirable class of boarders. The tail end of the panic is dis appearing and the vanguard of pros perity is in plain sight, . so it is time to be up and doing.

On Wednesday at one o'clock Miss Marguerite Currin gave a seven course luncheon, to which only few of her most intimate friends were invited. The color scheme was pink and white. The centre piece was of pinl and white asters and Maiden Hair ferns and from this were trails of smilax w-hich were festooned a cross the table and twined around the candelabra which were o f silver with pink shades The place cards from which streams of pink ribbons were Cupids ringing wedding bells and roses were flying. As the punch was served the hos tess's niece, little Mary Currin Ow en, came in bearing a large bas ket containing thirteen pink roses and one white rose, and repeating these lines: "'Sing a Song of Love Words, A Pocket Full or Love Hours, Here are many Cupids Hidden in These Flowers, When the Buds Are Opened, Dazzling in Your Eyes, You May Read Your Fortune And a Sweet Devise". The pink roses were attached to the stems of which were small envel opes sealed with double gilt hearts pierced by arrows and containing cards having the names of Miss Marguerite Currin and Mr. Robert Gilliam Lassiter, were passed to the guests from which to draw. Upon examination hidden in three buds were found a wish bone for good luck, a thimble for the old maid, and a ring for the next tobe married. Those receiving these emblems were: Miss Jeannette Biggs, thim ble; Miss Evelyn Howell, ring; Miss Katharine Lassiter, wishbone. The white rose was passed to Miss Currin and hidden in its cen tre was a diamond solitaire, her en gagement ring. Toasts followed and many were the good wishes expressed for the bride to be.

For the past few years the Smiths have been residents of Oxford where they were prominent in business and so cial circles. Mr .Smith has sold to Mr. W. B. Ballou the stock he form erly held in the Taylor-Cannady Buggy Com pany, of which he was vice-president. He goes to Lynchburg to. take a desk in the Hughes Buggy Com pany, of which he is also vice-president.

The play is said to be founded up on facts and the characters liv ing, breathing counterparts of present day American men and women moving in a much-discusse social class. The presenting com pany, headed by Miss Marion Sher wood, is an unusually strong one and the engagement will be one of the reaT dramatic events of the season. The company seems to have scor ed a good success. The Omaha Bee says " A play of genuine merit with strong dramatic situations and an excellent company to interpret them, them . Double Wedding at Creedmoor. The Ledger was very much dis appointed in not having received an account from the double wedding of Mr. Lester Joseph Montague and Miss Nola Blonza Byrd and Mr. Ectoon Mangum and Miss Annie May Byrd, which 4took place in' Fellowship Church, Creedmoor, last Wednesday. It is hoped that a full account can be secured of these in teresting Creedmoor marriages in time for next week's issue.

There will be an examination for teacher's certificates at the court housein Oxford the 15th and 16th of September for whites and col ored respectfully. J. F. WEBB, Co Supt. Sales Lighter Than For Many Years, Few Priming Having Been Sav ed, Prices Good For Grade Sold. Little more than a month has passed since the 3rd of August when tne to bacco market was opened, but the sales have amounted to practical ly nothing. Less of the weed has been brought in than has been ther case for many years. 5 The report has been circulated that the reason for the delay in bring ing the tobacco for market was that the prices have been unsatisfactory A Ledger man last Monday asked a prominent buyer and a prominent, warehouseman about the situation. Both said that the prices have been good, the lotsold that morning being very satisfactory to those who brought it in. The warehouseman said '"On ac count of three not being many pri mings saved this year, the sales were very light during August Since the better classes of tobac have appeared, the prices are fair ly satisfactory, and larger sales are expected very soon". It has been stated by the tobac comen that the tobacco sold so far has been of the inferior grade, that drowned by the heavy rains and badl" injured . Various estimates have been given as to the amount of the crop made Until more of the larger planters sell no representative sales of conse sequence having been made, it is im possible to tell the acreage or the per centage of crop. At the beginning of the season the crop was put down as low as 70 per cent, but itis now generally thought to be at least 80 or 85 Perhaps the yield per acre would indicate less than that, but it is conceded that there has been an increased acreage. The reports inthe beginning of each season are very unsatisfactory and it takes time to work the problem out and the only way to do it is to watch) the actual sales . The indications are that the prices will be satisfactory. A NEW INDUSTRY FOR US. Golden Belt Manufacturing Co., of Durham to Install Branch Plant in Oxford. There are exceedingly bright prds for a new enterprise to be located in Oxford. Monday, Mr. F B.. Fuller president of the Golden Belt Manufac turing Company, of Durham, and Mr. Will Hundley ,of the same institu tion, came over to Oxford and began an immediate investigation into the advantages of establiching a branch plant here. Mr .J .P. Stedman, to whom their wants were first made to known, introduced the gentle men to Mr. J. A. Niles, secretary of the Granville Real Estate & Trus Company, who at once secured a goo site for them . If the branch is established in Ox ford, and itis more than likely to do so, employment will at first be given to from30to 40 women, who will be afforded steady employment in making bags for the American To bacco Company's products. The worl will be done upon a payment per piece basis, when from a dollar to a dollar and . a half will be the usual amount arned. The sewing ma chineswill be run by electricity, sat isfactory arrangements with the Ox ford Water & Electric Company having about been made. Mr. Niles secured the old Hicks factory for the visitors at an equi table rental, and the establishment of the plant is more than likely. The addition of this enterprise would mean a steady circulation of $300 to $400 per week to start with. If the proper labor can be secured, there is every indication that the plant may be vastly enlarged . The visitors were most agreeably? impress ed with the situation, and the decision of the company is awat ed with keen interest. SPLENDID SCHOOL OPENINGS All the Oxford Schools Public anoT Private Show Big Increase County Schools Opening up Fine. This is certainly a banner year with the Oxford schools. All of the institutions of learning report a much increased patronage and the students are not all in yet. In the county, the schools at Creed moor, Brassfield, and Dutchvillej op ened up on Monday, and several oth ers will follow suit next Monday. It is not possible to get the sta tistics this week, since as stated, the students are still arriving. Last Wednesday the Seminary opened and Prof. Hobgood now has more than ninety girls .and more are expected, it being confiden tly believed that' the number will run Jiround one hundred. The Horner School was opened on Wednesday of this week and the corps of cadets shows a good in crease over recent years. As yet very few of the old boys have re turned, these waiting, as usual, un til the very last minute possible. The graded school threw open its doors to the boys and girls on Monday when four -more children greeted their teachers than have ever done before. Superintendent Webb of the cou nty schools is gratified with the sit uation and expects an increased at tendance and patronage. , Gran ville folks believe Jn education, i Let me paint your buggy;1 let mei sell you yourwheels, boggy; body,seati or anything you want.
