Last Mondaj night, Xovembor the 14th, small number of Ox ford's business men gathered to gether in the court room and with out hesitation or batting- an eye. subscribed stock irr the Granville Agricultural Association to the val ue of $069. At the same time it was unanimously voted to rccom mend at the meeting of stockholders of the Association that 7, 5 00 be raised, four thousand of which is to come from the business men and citizens of Oxford. Messrs. Sam Parker and William Landis were appointed a special committee to solicit stock, and both gentlemen are now oiiihusiasticalH at work. Dr. White falls to Order. At the request of the shivering but determined gathering- about the stove Dr. E. T. White called the meetinc to order, requesting Messrs. A. H. I'of'.l and J. P. Webb to state the object. Mr. Powell aris ing: at" the instigation of Mr, Webb, informed him that the gathering was to sound the biit-ii.ess interests of Oxford upon the subject of the Fair proposition. Reporting that the Granville Agricultural Association had been incorporated for $500. with the privilege c increasing to $50,000, he informed the meeting that $500 worth of stock had been subscribed months ago and that the charter had been duly taken out. Since then, about three hundred dollars addition, taken. Referring suit t is No Fxnger Any Excuse for Bringing Corn From the West Can Be Easily Raised H ere. Raleigh Times. South Carolina has the corn growing fever as well as North Car olina. We note from the Columbia State: "That 20 boys planting one acre each in Dillion county, South Car olina, have produced this year, 1, 7 30 bushels of corn, that each of them produced as much as 70 bush els on his acre and that the crop of one of them Hovey Edvards,was 132 ?-4 bushels, while that of Franl McDonald was 113 ushels.are state ments of facts that ought to arouse tne attention of people everywhere who art disturbed about the high cost of living and the inadequate supply of food-stuff.

A very good audience was out Friiiay night to see "A Spoiled Dar ling," which was played at the Op era House by a company of Hender son amateurs. The cast was well rounded and each played the as signed role with a great deal of credit. The play was a comedy and the players were rewarded many times with applause. The special ties that were introduced during the intermissions were exceptionally well received. Mrs. Stanfiehi Travis sang "The Garden of Dreams," re turning upon encore with "The Ro tary." Miss Lamb and Mr. Cooper made a hit with the old Dutch favo rite "Reuben," and Mrs. W. B. Parham and Mr. R. Jones with the assistance of four other members of the cast gave a very entertaining little skit. The cast was as follows: htanley McAllister . . . .Mr. WATCH OUT FOR SMUT.

Meanwhile, the success of the Dil lon county boys is not exception al in South Carolina; similar re sults are being obtained in a score of South Carolina counties and the proof of corn productiveness is equally clear in other sections of South Carolina." The boy's corn clubs are doing good work in showing what can be done in growing corn. When South Carolina, North Carolina, and the South can produce corn yields like the above the wonder grows that any is ever shipped into this section from the West.

Bulletin 212 of the North Caro lina Agricultural Experiment Sta tion by Dr. F. L. Stevens which has just appeared from the press gives full directions for preventing; the various smuts ot oats and wheat. These are due to little living paras tic plants which grow within the wheat and oat plants. They cause large loss, cutting down the yield of grain often as much as 20 per cent or even 30 percent, while the stinking smut of wheat does much greater damage by injuring the milling quality of the grain. The formalin treatment, which is thor oughly effective and costs almost nothing, is described and recommen ded for oat smut. The same treat ment is even more effective than for the stinking smut in wheat. The loose smut, of wheat can be pre vented by a modified hot water treatment coupled with separate !

A number of sources of revenue that the Fail will enjoy were spoken of, when it 'was suggested that the fair pro perty could be rented to the colored people a week after the white fair was held, upon terms advantageous both to the management and to the colored people. A number of colored people it is understood, are trying to make some kind of an arrangement for their race. A County Demonstrator. While not acted upon, another matter received the favorable at tention of the men present. It was suggested a combination man be secured to carry on the farm demon stration work now done by the na tional government with the assis- ! tance of the county and to look af- govern- mrs more.

The work of the orphanages of North Carolina appeals most strong ly to reason and to sympathy.These institutions are worthy of the hear tiest support of our people and they have a large place in their interest and gifts and efforts. At the Thanksgiving season mind diid hearts turn especiallj' toward our orphanages and many are the practical expressions made to cause by people richly blessed. These love-prompted gifts to car ry on this blessed work with these little ones surely must be acceptable to God, the Father of the father less. It seems that, here in North Car olina, Thanksgiving Day has been specially set apart as "Orphans Day' and we rejoice that this is true. The contributions made at this season help very much indeed in the sup port of our various orphanages. We trust that even larger offer ings will be made at this Thanks giving season than ever before to the end that these institutions may be the better able to perform their service. They need funds for main tenance, for improvement and for the extension of the work. A Mistake Corrected.
