CHRISTMAS MAIL WAS LIGHTER HERE THIS YEAR Christmas mails during the holi day rush just over were not as heavy in Oxford post office as has been the case in recent years, according to Mr. Henry ditcher, assistant postmaster. Mr. Critcher did not attempt to ascribe a reason for the decrease, hut there is no doubt that the gener al business depression contributed its share. "While the mail matter was ligh ter this year," said Mr. Critcher, "it is interesting to note that the re ceipts for the month of December as $200 abow that of Decembei one year ago."

THE BEST JOB OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON Bold Train Robbery On New Bern Bridge Stopped By Soldier. (Newbern Special) The most daring hold-up and at tempted train robbery ever to occur in this section of the State took place at 1-50 o'clock last Thursday morn ing on the railroad bridge over Neuse river when two negroes whose identity has not been learned board ed Norfolk and Southern passenger train No. 16, climed from the rear of the locomotive over the tender, covered Engineer Clarence Smith and his negro fireman with revolvers and forced them to bring the train to a stop. The negroes tried to force the fire man to uncouple the engine from the train and take the locomotive trom the train and take the locomotive down the line wnne tney returnea and robbed mail and express cars and passengers. Apparently amateurs at train rob bery," the two negroes bungled the iob, making slow work of forcing the engineer and his fireman to do their bidding. Meantime, other trainmen who had discovered what was going on and rushed back into the passenger coaches and informed the passengers. An army officer, was among the latter, secured a pair of revolvers from his luggage and went to the aid of the engineer and fireman. Crawling over the tender he covered the two blacks, forced them to drop their weapons after which they were placed under arrest and carried to Washington, N- C., and put in the county jail at that place. .

Hickl, Of Henderson, Mtnv, - . , , Ed,tor tne PubiIC Ledr: , 'f 'lis morning I awoke some time lefore my folks and neighbors were ready to get up and engage in the ac tivities of the new day of the New Year. As I lay there thinking how much money I had in the bank that nobody wants to borrow, and of the happiness and prosperity of the coun try and its people, and what gumps they were to vote out of power the brilliant and glorious administration that had brought existing conditions to pass, a new year's day of the long ago came back in memory to me. Not that I saw it, for it was just be fore I was born; but I used to hear my mother and her brother, my uncle "Big Ed Crews," relate it ..Their father, James Crews, who was the chief founder of Salem Church, living a mile to the east oi' itt was quite a hustler in his time- He started with nothing, owned fifty or more slaves when Sherman's army came along, and had more than fifty thousand dollars when he died ten years later at the age of 90- He rear edinine children, all of whom lived to;be old and ail but one left large fortunes. Old man Jimmie, as he was called, was a working man, and knpw how to bave things done around himv One new year's morning just before day; he called up his two stoutest sons, Ed and Tom, and two of his best -negro men, and told them to go over to the new ground and all four of .hem join in and cut down the big oak that was there when Columbus came across, and under whose boughs many : an "Indian warrior had no doubt wooed his dusky mate." The four got up and went, each with his own sharp axe, and soon the welkin did ring with the music of those axes as they pierced that mighty monarch of the forest- Paderewski and Caruso and Ruben stein .and other srand opera stars of the world never made sucn music as that which thrilled the soul of the old man; standing on his front porch, - knowing that it penetrated on that cleat frosty morning to the inner ear of verv man,- woman and child on Bob Baylor's, Ed Moralbe's, am "Moss &nner Hicks' plantations, and ev- Cooper's Quarter. Presently the great tree fell, and jrreat was the fall thereof. Just then the two negroes began to holler with those sharp voices, such as were af terwards heard around the world as "rebel yells." Then the four each cut off a log or nearly so, and went to the house to breakfast. They had imbibed the spirit of their master, and went up proud of their achieve ment in waking up the neighborhood that new year's morning. But to their unmistakable surprise instead of the plaudits of "well done, good and faithful servants," the master's brow was clouded, and they saw he was madder than they had ever known him to be. When they sought to know the reason why, he said to them in stentorian tones: ' "What in the world did you holler for?" How sad it is that we have no more trees to cut, ana no more boys and axes and negroes to cut them. Yet I doubt not that in the future, when we have worried of the movies and the autos nad the quasi pleasures of this day and time other pleasurers will be found equal to the new years joy of my grandfather, if not better. T. T. HICKS. THE FLORIDA LIMITED Only One Stop Made In North Carolina. Winter tourist traffic was inau gurated on the Seaboard Air Line last Monday, the first train having left New York Sunday morning.

BRAME AVAS ENFORCING DRY LAW ALL HIS OWN Asserting that Supervising Reve nue Agent S. R. Brame had no au thority to destroy any of the liquor in the custody of the government and that all sales of automobiles that had been seized since the prohibition amendment became effective were without sanction, Juage Edtnund Waddill, Jr., of the United States dis trict court, last week said the courts have been at variance with Mr. Brame because he has "attempted to enforce a law of his own." Miss Annio Hamme Hurt. Miss Ailnie Hamme, one of the val uable teachers in the Creedmoor school, was painfully hurt' at her home near Cheatham Mill last Sat urday. She was seated in a buggy and ready to come to Oxford when on wheel of the vehicle struck a stump in the yard and threw her out She was brought to Oxford, and on examination Dr. $. H. Cahnady discovered that the arm was broken near , the shoulder. Dr. Cannady , states that she is resting very nicely. Your battery should have water about every two weeks. Stop at WW lard Service Station. A PLEASANT HOUR WITH A FINE OLD VIRGINIA GENTLEMAN Coming down from Richmond last loir nlff Mvrrrrt week. Mr. Newcomb. a stout old Vir ginia gentleman who has accumulat ed a fortune, got on the train at Petersburg and shared a seat with us as far as Lacross. The conversation soon drifted around to the high cost of living, where it stuck until he left the train. "Well," said the old gentleman, "my father died leaving me to sup port a family of mother, three sisters and a brother. I promised him I would see that they all finished highschool. At that time I was getting $9 a week." "Just think of supporting a family on $9 a week!" we replied merely to keep the conversation going. "Well, the fact is," rejoined our companion, "you couldn't have done it twenty years ago if you tried to live then as we do now. "Let me tell you something," he went on. "We lived in a smalt town. Our house was on a lot 100x250 feet, and, with the excep tion of a strip of lawn, every inch of the ground was cultivated. We grew all the vegetables we ate, and when winter came, as we had no cel lar, we buried in the garden all we would need through the winter: po tatoes, cabbage, turnips, carrots and beets. This has cellar storage beat a mile because the vegetables will not dry out. We put up plenty of plums, cherries, currents and goos berries from our own garden. "In the fall 1 bought from a farmer three barrels of apples and a barrel oi hiefcorynuts. Our garden sup plied the popcorn. And, oh boy, j those winter evenings! As soon as real winter set in l got hold ot a quarter of 'beef and half a hog and hung them in the wood-shed. We kept chickens, so that we were never hungry for meat. In fact, we never wanted for a single essential. "Our clothes were not tailor made; probably the larger percentage of them were home made- "I also bought ten cords of wood and, as I had to saw this during the winter, you will no doubt appreciate that I was not under the painful nec essity of going to Florida to play golf to keep in condition. "I don't say that 1 want to go back to that life, but people ought to un derstand that in the days of low pricea- apples . -were-not. wrapped. in tissue paper, and we did not tele phone to the store our order for a couple of pounds of potatoes, or for a spool of thread and have it deliver ed in a four-thousand-dollar truck with the delivery man in uniform. "Today we ail want the gee-gaws, which we have educated ourselves to call the 'refinements,' and we've got to pay for them by sacrificing some of the essentials some of the things that make real home living. "Yes, they all graduated from high; school." GRANVDLE COUNTY DELEGATES Will Attend the State Tobacco Grow ers Association In Raleigh January 12: Mr. P.

New Year's day was ,not observed as a general holiday in Oxford. All of the banks were closed, however, as well as the post office, which cut out all city and rural delivery, and the freight depots of both the Sea board Air Line and Southern Rail way were closed for the entire day. . The new year was given a rousing greeting at ,midnight, and, while it was nothing in the way of a general public celebration or noise-making, it was slightly more than is custom ary in Oxford. Few people remain ed up to bid the old year farewell and greet the new, but those who did made their fulL share of noise. Many .whistle, , were blown and bells were rung arid numerous pis tols were fired off ' in several sec tions of the town between, midnight and 1a.m. r Nice Contribution.

NO; 1 i BROADSTREET FORECASTS EARLY RESUMPTION OF BUSINESS It Is Wreil To Forget Some Of Events Of Our Recent "Silk-Shirt" inn. (Extract From Broadstreet's Review) Without attempting to make any hard and fast predictions, indeed with every disposition to kepn nut nf j ibe ranks of the prophets who are proverbially lacking in honor in their cwn country it may be well to set aown a few facts which have a bear ing upon the working out of either of these forecasts. : in me rirst place, it apparently needs to be again brought to the. at- tention of the fainthearted that this' country has so far come through lightly from the troubles which have beset the world as the result of the overweening ambition of the German . militarists; that our present trade ' and industrial troubles, due in narr to our own extravagances, are the naiurai results of the antecedent causes, and that it is best that th , reckoning came as early as it did. In other words, our condition might have been a whole lot worse it is certainly a great deal better than is the lot of our European friends and allies. The indiistrial work idle in unprecedented numbers and a fraction of his pay (25 per cent, per haps) has been cut, but he had an opportunity to prepare for the, inevi table reaction, while the farmer, mourning the fat returns of 1919, should not forget that his money and crop returns are better than in 1914, 1915 or 1916, which were not esteem ed bad years at the time. For the great mass of people who did not directly gain by extravagant wages or prices, the return to saner price levels is a nearly unmixed good, and all three of the groups cited have the knowledge that, as a result of readjustment, a dollar goes and will go further than it did in recent days of so-called boundless prosperity. The fact is that, for a while at least, business will need the present quiet period to recast its ideas, form new plans and prepare to put in operation new and better conceptions. As put by one observer, the old figures are blurred and new ones must be prepared. It is .harlly to be hoped that the present readjustment will not go far enough to retire a large number of precedent numbers sought the: prif V fits of a business life with a modi cum of business equipment and a de ficiency of ability to succeed. It might be well if we were able to for get some of the events of our recent "silk-shirt era" of extravagance wera it not for the lessons conveyed tnat in the long run ability, education and experience are also entitled to their reward. Perhaps no better service could be done the American business man. wage earner or farmer than to hold up to his eyes the example of . battletorn France, which in its pa-. tient rebuilding of its shattered for- T' tunes, this year, shows a gain in its export trade comparing favorably with all but the very largest gains in our own. With the experience of some past years of stress in mind, one is inclined to look askance at ef forts of "medicine men" of both ar ties to offer patent nostrums to the " people in the belief that acts of Con gress will arrest, delay or mitigate the working out of the great natu ral forces now in operation. The pa tient's fever seems to have broken, and there remains now the process of building up his strength, for which time and care are the main requisi- rJ tes. MISS LAURA CLEMENT THE BRIDE OF MR. W. T. YANCEY Will Be At Home In Oxford After January 8th. A wedding of state-wide interest took place at 4 o'clock on the after noon of December 28th, at the home of J- L. Clement, of Mocksville, N.
