Parham represented the de- fendant. A nice Httle legal battle ensued. Mr. Singleton admitted he killed the dog,but he was unable to prove that the same dog sucked the -eggs. On the other hand, Mr. Critcher proved by a competent wit- j ness that his dog was 15 miles away on the morning the eggs had been broken by a dog. - j Justice Medford taxed Mr. Single-1 ton $10 and cost and $50 for killing ! -.r.. -..

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1921 OLD SCHEDULE OX THE SEABOARD RAILWAY TO BE RESTORED (X) Leave Here About 7:30 M. and Arrive In Ral eigh About Ten O'clock. Mr. Andrew Jamieson, president of the Oxford Chamber of Commerce, has been in consultation with the it i& uuueisiw;u uiai xvir. j amiesuu stated that the old schedule prior to the World War was the best aSd most satisfactory.

In the lot was a bunch of-half- j the same thing this year that we no grown cherries which were left at j ticed so often last season that is so the office door early last Saturday morning. The unsigned note at tached said: "Tally Ho leads the county'." These blossoms speak well for our climate and the possibility of two crops by intense cultivation under scientific methods. Everything grows to perfection in Granville county fruit, vegetables, hogs, sheep and cattle. . Our county is the, garden spot of the world if cur people were mind to make it as such. ' AUTOMOBttiES ARE USED BY THE COTTON BOLL WEEVIL Salisbury, vOct. , 10. Automobiles help spread the boll weevil pest, ac - cording to George Fink, a Rowan county farmer. Mr. Fink had occa- sion some days ago to pass through ah infected area and after he had cleared the infected district he found a number of the pests on his ma chine. Several days ago a lone boll weevil was found at China Grove, the only one so fa reported in Ro wan county, and Mr. Fink thinks he has a plausible theory as to how it j got -there some, passing automobile brought it that far from an infected district further south.

GIVE MORE ATTENTION TO HAXDLIXG AXD GRADING We are hoping that farmers will not rush their tobacco to the mar kets at the beginning of the season. The crop is short in pounds and there is time enough to market the crop without glutting the market. A great deal of the 'crop will improve some by holding it a while. We see much tobacco being placed on the warehouse floors in bad condition. Fermers should pay more attention to grading and handling this tobac co. Another thing is that a farmer should never mix his tobacco mixed or nested tobacco never pays. Southern Tobacco Jaurnal.

The State Highway . Commission announces that wo on the National Highway, north of Oxford, will begin on November 8th and pushed to com pletion as early as possible. The first project begins at the northern limits of Oxford and extends five miles north to a point near Gela. The money is available for the work. It is stated that a large force of hands, probably 100 or more, will be placed on the job. j The grading force, it is said, will be divided into squads- so as to expedite the work The Statae Hie-hwav rommiwinn will ine btatae Hignway commission will layout and maintain a detour. It is intimated, but not. confirmed, that the detour will be via the old Wil liamsboro road to Huntsboro, Dexter and thence to Stovall, which is only two miles in excess of the distance between Oxford and Stovall via the National Highway. If the weather is favorable to work during the winter, said a road man, the project will be completed by early j01 Thousand People Present ... ..... ...i T1. f . .1 ; n spring. . A blue print, it is said, will soon be made of the second project of five miles, which will extend to a point beyond Stovall, and as soon as the work on the first project is com pleted the second will be left to con tractors. The Chase City Correspondent of the Richmond Times-Dispatch states that actual work, such as grading and laying hard surface, will begin on the project immediately south of Clarksville in December. Commis sioner Page, of the high commission, states that he hopes to complete two projects between Oxford and Durham and two projects between Oxford and the Virginia line by December, 1922. It is now apparent that the entire highway between Durham arid Rich mond will be hard surfaced by the end of 1923.

NO. 81 ; TOBACCO BUYERS LOOK FOR HEAVIER SALES LATER IX THE WEEK The sales on the Oxford market last week was slightly over 165,000 pounds at an average of 21.42 for all sold. Better grades are coming in and the buyers and warehousemen are expecting to handle ! 500,000 pounds this week at an average above that of last week. Prices are some hfeher r hn W ! medium and better low on the common types.

SUXDAY BASEBALL IX NEW YORK CITY Price Of Admission . Runs Up To $16. The Associated Press reports an attendance of more than 40,000 at the world series game of baseball at the Polo grounds in New York' City last Sunday afternoon. We suppose it was all right, as Dr. Roach Strat ton, pastor of Calvery Baptist Church, New York City, wno recently spoke at the union meetings ' in "Ox ford on the Dempsy-Carpentier fight, was reported to have occu pied a seat in the grand stand and took mental notes. The pnblic will no doubt hear from the Doctor later. A new York special says: "The lowest price quoted for single reserved seats to this afternoon's conflict was $12.50. Tickets at this figure were available at a little, in conspicuously situated agency near Forty-eighth street and Seventh ave nue. The highest price asked for a grandstand seat for this afternoon was $16 quoted in the agency of the Misses Waters. This pair of tickets, incidentally, were all that were a vailahle in this particular agency. At the agency hard by the Palace Theatre $15 was asked for a single ticket to this afternoon's game, or $30 for a pair of the reserved seat coupons. KING OF '' AUTOMOBILE . THD3 YES TO BE! TRIED LX RALEIGH The Raleigh News and Observer says: "George J'.

Kelley, of Sanford, and eleven, other defendants in the stealing and trans porting of several hundred automo biles. "Scott will be brought to Raleigh for trial along with Major Arthur W. Hoffman, of the New York National Guard, another man of prominence in New York City, when the next term of the court for the Eastern Dis trict of North Carolina convenes pn ! November 23. . ' "The arrest of Scott completes the investigation of what is regarded as the most far-reaching criminal case that has ever been tried in North Carolina. The indictments charge an organized conspiracy and opera tions in five different States. EMPLOYMENT BUREAUS MADE FINE RECORD FOR MONOTH Found Jobs For 1327 During Month Of September. During the month of September the free employment bureaus of North Carolina found jobs for 1,110 men and 217 women a total of 1 327, which is a record breaking month for the service. The increase jover previous months is due in part to the fact that five weeka are in cluded in the report, but even with the final week left out, the showing is better than has been made by the agencies in the past.
