VOL. 2 OXFORD, N. C, FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 9, 1910. 50 4 1 si n M S ; t -X i i I 1 . -1 Big Double Vote Offer For Two Weeks Only. This Means That No Other Time During The Contest Will There be Given as Many Votes on a Single Subscription. Believe in Your self. Never Postpone. That the Oxford Ledger's great prist ixnc iropularity contest for ladies i tWt lined to break all records in the .(u.test line, admits of no denial. The earnest wcrk cf the many popular ladies entered as contestants has not oi.lv met a ready and sympathetic re-f-.ln:n in the way of support, but has made earnest partisans of representa tive citizens in every walk of life in tach and every dlsitrict. Some of these friends of the candidates are inmiiriing- into the plan and methods: being and to be pursued in the ccai daxt of this contest, with a view of retiring themselves that the candi cicte whom they are supporting i to have a square deal.' The Real Power. The friends of the candidates are the rtai power in the race for suc cts. See that you do your part to iuiake vour favorite candidate popu-3c-ic.

Our Icoal Gretna Green, the Excha nge Hotel, got busy again Saturday afternoon, the 27th.inst., when Miss Gruco Wilson .-nd Mr. Charles R Williamson both of Soudan, Va., were marniied at the hoteV. The ceremony was performed by R. 1!. Powell, wiho aocomipaiimed theon the pastor of the (happy eotuple, Rev. united in Marriages, in the parlors1 of to Oxford. As the brida,!! pacr neteired the par lor, Mitea Willie Lee Smith played a wedding march of Men'dilsoh.nSj "Mine Host," Smith, who is usnal ly mjasiter of ceremonies on such, oc casions, this time was too busy promoting a rabbit hunt to waste any titme on a wedding. Smith's pack of hounds make sweeter music en tihe chase (at least to his ears) than any wedding morch ever composed. Hence Mrs. Smith directed the cer emony, and did so with so much ef fieney, and grace that Smitihi's ab senc? wras was regreted most by the rabbits.
