Monday morning Mr. Andrew Kit trell, a citizen of Oxford, was hailed before his honor, the mayor, and fin ed five dollars and costs on the charge of resisting an officer. The whole thing was brought about measley, little, ill tempered, dispep tic sort of a black dog, who from a seat in a buggy on streets last Sat urday, was resenting the attentions of several people in the vicinity. Th dog objected to having fingers poked at him, and was announcing his dis pleasure in very loud terms, which amused the crowd no littie. The chief-of-police, Luther Roberts who some distance away, htought that the noise should be stopped, and despatch- j ed policeman Wood to put an end to j it. When he arrived upon the scene Mr. Kittrell was poking his finger at i the chcloric dog who was workinghiir i self into a fine frenzy. j According to the officers' testimony j Mr.Kittreil paid no attention to his rt ' quest to stop, and the affair de- : veloped to that point where it was ne j essary to arrest him. Mr. Kittrell al ! leged that he had done nothing mer- j king arrest, and denied the officers j right to make the arrest. ! eJIl Tlie STanri.

Several forces of road workers are now on the job of improving county roads, and as much work be done throughout the winter the elements will permit. The contract work on the Cornwall road has begun, the first licks hav ing been taken two weeks ago, and now there are from twenty to twenty five head of stock being operated up on it. This force is now grading the road from Mountain Creek bridge on towards Cornwall. The new force recruited for work, in the Knap of Reeds section is also improving the face o fMother Earth and the line which begins at the house cf Mr. Charlie Roberts and is to be carried to theDurham county line will soon be finished. The Fishing Creek force is at pre sent repairing the roadthat leads to Clay. Two small changes, about 200 feet each in extent, are being made in this road.

Last season practically every thing was broadcloth in the woolen goods and messalines in the silks. While broadcloths are still strong in favor, serges occupy a prominent position in the edicts for this sea son, especially those serges of wide wale weave. These are employed in the two piece suits and the finer weaves for the three-piece suits. Soft surface suitings, such as silky diag onals and close sheared zibelines, are very fashionable, as are also cam el's hair effects. In the mixed fabrics, melanges, Scotch mixtures, homespuns and many mannish novelty effects are launched and are looked upon with great approval. In the melanges are seen many of the old-fashioned snow flake patterns, in which flakes of white sprinkle the surface of an otherwise dark material. The home spuns are of neutral tones, showing knots of bright colors. Other very fashionable and popular textures are silk cashmeres, fine worsteds, satin cashmeres, mohair mixtures and chif fon cloths. Of the silk textures, the most pro minent note is the early popularity of changeable effects in chiffon and taffeta and satin. These are shown in wonderful color assortments. For the Louis styles which are contem plated to divide the honors of the season with the Moyen styles, jac quard silks in novelty effects of small patterns and brocades are to be generally employed. The moires will also make a strong bid for favor, and of these now shown in the best shops there are three distinct types. One of these is an Ottoman cord, with strongly de fined antique markings; another a fine cord, two-tone Ottoman, also with antique markings, and the third and extremely light weight taffeta moire showing faint water markings in striped patterns. Velvets also find their place in the mandates of the season. Fine French all-silk velvets will be used largely for one piece dresses and manish tailored suits. In thedress goods and silks for fall all the tones are dark and soft none of them intense. Black will be a strong factor this fall in all mat erials, including the velvets. In the lighter-weight textures, black will be fects of brighter color. Green, especially yellow greens, are very smart. Copper tones, rose shades, prune shades, raisin and nlum shades are also very modish. Bordeaux red is another shade that stands high with the most precise votaries.

A quartette of Oxford folks took a fine trip down to Morehead last week. Dr. T. L. Booth, Messrs. E. M. Lewellyn.. R. P. Hackney, and J. L. Booth, left on the 16th, and re turned on the 24th, ah looking in fine trim and full of fish stories for the credulous. They stayed in camp about three miles from Morehead to be exact, Dr. Booth says that they had their own boat, went as they pleased, iish ed when they pleased, day or night and had a general good time. Mack erel, blueiish, trout, and otner small fish "too numerous to mention" fell into their snares until they got tired of the sight and taste of them. At least, that's what they say about it. The doctor caught a trout of about ten pounds weight that smashed his bamboo pole. He says that this the tirst fish that ever broke his rod and many caught in previous trips have weighed cojisiderably more than the savigrous fellow. He; wres tled with the rascal for Ji or 20 minutes beiore he was landed. a&-4tcj ON A BOOM Mr .A .3 .Spencer Suddenly With Paraiysis While on ' ing to Stem In critical Last Sunday atternoon Mr. Spencer, just as he uas u: step off the train at Stem, ; c:: "ken with paralysis, and i.e.. his home in a very critical co; While his health has not be for some time, the stricken :r supposed to be in a reasor.abi condition.

Charles Klines Famous Drama Will Lt in Henderson on the 8th Special Train to Carry Oxford Folks. Everyone is keenly alive to the machinations of trusts and kings of; finance cannot but appreciate "The Lion and the Mouse" which produc tion is announced for presentation in Henderson on Friday night, the; 8th of October. The play is by Charles Klein and makes a distinct innovation in the do velopment of theAmerican drama, foe Mr .Klein has utilized a phase ofna tional life which never beiore was used for stage purposes, and which, as a result proves of intense inter est. He has taken one of the money kings of the country, the type of a. financier who manipulates the des tinies of the nation and made him one of the central figures of his plot stern in his attitude to all, even te his wife and children and relentless towards his enemies. The other vital element is a young; and beautiful daughter of a Supremo Court judge, who is being driven to the wall with impeachment and dis grace, as the result of his righteous d cisions which are adverse to the in terests of the money king. To save the honor of her father and his lite, the daughter enlists her services against this financial giant and the plot reveals the struggle of two keen brains for the mastery. The play is of exceptional inter est and dramatic force and while in is serious in aspect it contains z line galaxy of wit, humor, and pathos. A special train over the Seabourd will be put on and a big crowd from Oxford is expected to go over. Cel-1 Vis- Day. j i un-'.
