Kail's t',eat Sale

in our last issue, calling attention
to their Great Thanksgiving Sale,
the linotype made us say that $2.50
ladies' sweeters sold for $2.98. Kap
lon's sale price should have been
J1.68.
iiaw the Light
Last Thursday night about ten
o'clock several people in Oxford saw
a licht in the south-eastern heavens
thatpeared to be twenty or thirty
jniies distant. The light was caus
ed by the burning of a business
block" in Kittrell.
Sun In Eclipse
It was not altogether the clouds,
that hung low and heavy Saturday
morning, turning into rain " shotly
before 11 o'clock that made lights
necessary. There -was an eclispe of
the sun thought the isajority of Ox
ford people went about their affairs
unaware that the moon was .cutting
off some of the light from the 'sun.
There is not another eclispe of the
sun until 1930.
Siiemore-Paniel
Mr. and Mrs. Lysander Sizemore
announce the marriage ..of '.'their
daughter, Miss "Annie M.t to . Mr.
Edward Abbott Daniel,- Wednesday
afternoon, November 19 th, at
Clarksville, Va. At home after De
cember 1st: Montgomery, West Vir
ginia.
High Averages
Mr. Gaston Currin. Route K anii
a very ;nice load of v tobacco at the
Farmers" warehouse last Friday that
caused the buyers to set-up and take
notice". The load weighed 3,950
pounds , and Mr. Currin walked a
way with $3,645.91.
Spot Is Dead
"Spot," the' little pet dog of Mr.
R. B. Hines passed to his reward
early last Saturday morning. He
had lived an exemplary dog life for
more than eleven years. By some
hook or crook the dog got hold of
a dose of poison and closed his eyes
upon the world and- the" high cost
of living. -
j Why Not-
We note that there is much com
ment .in the papers "upon the fact
that a woman has been selected as
superintendent of the Sunday school
of the First Methodist church of
Salisbury. We are of the oDinion
i that ft will prove a success "and we
see no reason why the Oxf ord Sun
day Schools should not do the same
thing.
A Good Guess .
There were two piles of tobacco
on the Farmers' warehouse floor last
Friday that resembled each other in
size and quality to such an extent
that some one remarked" that he
wouldn't give a fig f or the difference
in the price of the. two piles. One
pile belonged to Mr. M. S. Jones. It
r weighed 776 pounds and his. check
called for $725.24. 5 'The other pile
belonged to Mr. Fi H. Currin, of
Providence. . It weighed 792 pounds
and his check called for $728.28.

.r-Mrs. S. H. Browne left several
days ago to make her residence in
Huntington, W. Va; where her son
Dr. Morehead Emmette is located. It
is with sincere regret that her ma-
j ny friends saw her leave our little to
wn, where she has been so pleasant
ly remembered arid has labored so
faithfully for the betterment and.up
lift .ijf our community. A happy' so
journ is sincerely wished for her in
herj nw 'surroundinss and that she
may frequently return to her native
town where she' will always receive
a most cordial welcome. ;
the -first thing to consider is power. . Next is durability, convenience and beauty as
well as easy riding, and we are honest in our belief when we. say that we have all
of these in the 4-90 Chevrolet. J . v
TllJWe have, sold over three hundred in this county in the past three years. All of
these cars have satisfied owners and each owner is a booster for his car. There are
no hills too steep or sand too" deep; mud, rain and snow hive no' effect; they are al
ways ready to go. ) :,
HI You are aware of the fact that we are living in a convenient age and we long for
this at all tunes. This is what we have in automobiles. This car is built simple
and with as few parts as can be had, all of these being easy to get at. One Of the
; biggest items to consider in buying a car is if you break . your car how Jong will you
have to wait to get the part that you have broken. Some people do not think of this
when purchasing a carut thiey should consider this very carefully for it is a hard
matter after being used to touching a' button and taking your trip to go and hook up
a horse and keep out of the road while the cars go by. We carry in : stock at all
times a complete line of Chevrolet parts. We have mechanics as good as are to be
had and they can make a Chevrolet talk like a Cadillac.-

mjGive these few lines your earnest thought, for about 'thirty minutes and come to
our place and purchase one of lthese cars. While everybody knows cars are hard to
