J . '.- ; - .P IU.E)I.j 'A - VOLUME XXXIV. THE OXFORD SCHOOLS WlLL -T OPEN NEXT MONDAY i " : -' The General Public Expected to Be Present The Authorities .Must Ton form to the State Law --and See That All Uhildren Have Been Vaccinated Against Small Pox School Books Are tfot Being Itotight As Early As They Should lie. ' ' - --" All pupils of the graded school and of the high school will gather at the graded school building for the opening exercises ,-on Monday morning at 9 o'clock-before report ing to the separate buildings for 'as signment of books and work for the next day when regular class ' work will begin. ' The public in general is expected to be present for this opening pro gram. It is true that the hall will be crowded when they all , come. That is just what should be," foe the pupils more than fill building. There should be as many parents as "there are homes represented. Any man or. nlanninjr tn onpn un o rniei-L ness on next Monday, morning,., of vvuctxx t, o p whatever nature, could not be kept away from the place of opening. How many will look upon the school in that light? It is afe to sav that in spite of all this the opening of the tobacco market will mean to the town and the county and of All of the fall business plans that are on foot, the school work, which begins at Oxford Monday and will ..begin throughout the county . from that time on far surpasses them all in importance. , ., v Attractive Program Special effort will be made to have an attractive program on Monday morning. The superintendent wish es to ask that a parents meeting be held for about fifteen minutes after the pupils march to the .various rooms. Plans will be suggested in this that will show where the pa trons may help, some in the work. Men Invited. . " A special invitation is extended to the men of the community. In the past too few have been attending these occasions. There will be -no in the Public Ledger ''and the list the market has been opening atvthe same time. 1 School Books. I asked the question , at . Hall's Drug Store on Wednesday if pupils were buying the school books as re auested some days ago. I wish to state again that every pupifc who is certain as to the grade to which he will go should get books before Monday. - ' ":" "' The list thzrt has been published in hte Public Ledger and the list that is to be found in the window of Hall's drug store, is correct. There can be no mistake if the pupil has a clean promotion card or has re moved any con$ition under the pro per person. Vaccination Against Smallpox The State law requires the school authorities to see" that all pupils have been vaccinated against small pox before allowing them to remain in school. Pupils who are entering for the first time should be. vacci nated. There are some who have been in school in the past who have been excused by various physicians - for various reasons. Notice is here given that all pu lils must have been vaccinated at some time before they will be al lowed in school after October 1st, 1919. This extra time is granted in order that some who may have been planning to evade this rule as in the past may now have time to attend to the matter. This law was not pass eel without a purpose and that can not be fulfilled unless it is carried out. I consider it my duty from ery standpoint to see that it is carried out to the letter from; this date on. I trust that I may have the tuil support of the community, y G. B. PHILLIPS, Supt.

MARKETS OPENED STRONG Mtoch Tobacco s and Many Visitdrs Present. , Ports from the opening of the tobacco market Tuesday throughout Eastern North. Caro lina, some of them brought by local tobacconists who, visited sev '5 pitles and wns whose sales started on that date, are consid ered very encouraging and hope ful for this section. Un preceden ts large breaks in many markets were accompanied by prices very much higher on the better grades Of the weed than prevailed for the same quality of tobacco last year, the general opinion, however, is that the common offerings are be low the 1918 opening, although higher than at the beginning of the market in SoutV Carolina in early July. , Better grades, according to those who .attended the opening, sold all the way froni 50 . to 75 cents P pound, the medium quality bringing from 25 to 50 cents, and , the poor, grades in some Instan ces commanding: as low oh ' cents; but with generally a better !:""' Charac- ier oi, tne weed. Without definite ngureH available f or . the day's wies m any particular ; market, any estimate of the average a a whole might be wide of the mark although some placed it at 30 ents and others are 35 cents. , The big breaks on the openly; day are believed to have been due probably to the customary flood ing of the markets at - that time, although much of it may be prop erly attributed to the lateness of the Opening in Eastern North Carolina, which is two veeks be hind the usual date, . the season having for many years started in that belt, about the. middle f August. - - v The market in Oxford will en Tuesday, September 16. op- - (Goldsboro Argus.) The Goldsboro tobacco market op ened; Tuesday with the' floors of the three warehouses full of the leaf, all Dig companies represented. Buvers here, numbering about 20. manifest ed keen competition in bidding for the weed, and especially the better grades, some of which sold as high as 75 cents, with an average of 60 and 70 cents, which; madex the farm ers happy and they followed the sal es with their . faces wreathed in smiles, as pile after pile was knock ed out aft prices estimated from 10 to 1 5 cents higher than they were last season for the - same, grades of tobacco, which seemed to givev per fect satisfaction to the. growers who also seemed pleased with the prices l'torttiieirriiriings. -W:" (Kinston Free Press.) The busy; season was opened here Tuesday" forenoon with" first sales of the' fall 'on the tobacco market. The "breaks" were 'probably unprece dented heavy official figure being 2,0 0 0,000 pounds. - Prices ruled high. Hundreds of farmers poured in over every road before daybreak to noon.
