HOPE FOR THOSE WriO
DESTROY SHADE TREES
T1hv Are Among the Most Depraved
Of Cod's Creatures.
?ram time to time the attention '
From
of the Public Ledger is called to tho
fact that some vandal had destroyed
during- the night a number of young
shade trees along the sidewalks of
Oxford. .
Some time ago some one encircled
with a sharp knife a fine sugar
maple in front of Mayor Stem's resi
dence on Front Street and removed
the bark; during the same night two
trees on the same street and one on
Raleigh street were either split open
or cut down.
There is an instance where a tree
was planted on private property to
keep people from walking across the
corner of the lot, which was twice
pulled up by the roots -and tossed to
one side, and on the third planting
it was bent over and slashed near
the ground with a sharp knife.
The latest wantonly destruction of
trees occurred a few nights ago on
High street. Mrs. Margaret Lassiter
several months ago planted six beau
tiful catalpa trees between the side
walk and curbing in front of the
southern exposure of her flower
garden. She incurred the expense
of ordering and planting the trees
and gave them her personal atten
tion, and of course the trees were
the property of the city of Oxford and'
were planted for the sole purpose of
beautifying the streets. They were
in the way of no one; yet some one
a few nights ago tore, cut and twist
ed four of these beautitui and prom-
ising shade trees.
The nature of a person guilty of
such an offense is beyond compre
hension. The law is equal to the of
fense if the vandals could be brought
to the bar of justice.
FUQUAY SPRINGS LEADS
STATE IN HIGH AVERAGES
The Wilson Market Sold
Most
Pounds To Date.
Raleigh, Dec. 19. Comments re
ceived with the November sales re
ports from the tobacco warehouses,
indicate that about 65 per cent of the !
1921 crop has been marketed. The
season's producers' sales to . date
have, amounted to 180,921,628.
pounds, (including estimates for
missing reports), while the latest
government estimate ror the total
crop is 295,000,000 pounds.
The North Carolina markets
bringing highest prices during No
vember were Fuquay Springs $38.28,
Aberdeen $34.90, and Farmville
$34.54. The Wilson market has
sold 25,339,318 pounds during the
season and Winston-Salem 14,710,
513 pounds, these two being the lar
gest markets in the state.
During November there were 74,
400,917 pounds of farmers' tobacco
sold (including estimates for miss
ing reports. The price averaged
$27.02 as compared with $24.71 for
November last'fear. This amoimt is
one fourth of the total crop produced,
and the season's sales of 180.921,628
pounds leaves 114,000,000 pounds to
be marketed during the remainder
of the season.
SOME WORTHY GIRL TO
RECEIVE AN EDUCATION
Winston-Salem VToman Sends $5,
000 ( heck To Davenport College
For This Purpose,
Lenoir, Dec. 18. A check for
$5,000 was received by President
Craven, of Davenport college, from
Miss Annie Ogburn, of Winston
Salem, several days ago. This do
nation, according to the letter Miss
Ogburn sent with it is to be invested
and the proceeds used towards de
fraving the expenses for some wor
thv student every year. President
Craven said that the $300 interest
which this $5,000 would earn would
not quite pay the annual expenses of
a student, but that the board of
trustees wolud make an order allow
ing this amount to cover the total
necessary expenses, so as to make it
Possible for one more worthy girl to i
receive a college education.

courage all young men who are de

Oxford during the past few weeks

probable that after Christmas those
who have held back eggs will have to
sell them at a lower . price. We
think the people who trade at Oxford
should be able to supply the local
market. They could do so if the
eggs were brought m regularly.
Cold storage eggs are perhaps a cent
or two cheaper, but Oxford people
want the Granville county product,
and how is the time to bring them

THE SMOKE-HOUSES OF
GRANVILLE ARE BULGING
More Fine Meat In ths County Than
Ever Before.
The big corn crop last year had a
strong tendency to fill the smoke
houses of Granville this fall and
winter. As a fair sample of the
hogs that are being salted down, we
refer to three thrifty men on Ox
ford. Route 5, who killed three hogs
each last week.
Mr. G. F.Burnett foiled three,
; each weighing .459; 456; 438. These
porkers were only 14 months old.
Mr. E. C. Parrott killed three,
each weighing 440; 292; 272.
Mr. A. J. Critcher killed three,
each weighing 451; 200; 182.
Quite a number of farmers ara
waiting for the cold snap in Jan
uary to kill hogs, and then the
smoke-houses will fill up fast.
THE SPntIT OF CHRISTMAS
Santa Clans Is the Birthright of
All Children.
One of the very good and noble
womea- of Oxford called at the Pub
lic Ledger yesterday to say that she
read with a great deal of interest the
short Christmas gem . of Mr. A. 'A.
Wirir whih rPntlv nnnpnrAH in I
the Public Ledger. In the conver-1
sation that followed this good lady !
said that one of ; the saddest things
at all is to see a child who does not
believe in Santa Ciaus. At our in
vitation she took her seat at the desk
! and wrote the following: ,
"A little girl asked me the other
day if there really was a Santa Claus,
and I trembled with mortal fear lest
my affirmation should fail to con
vince her that there really was. Poor
little innocent tot! She had been
the victim of ridicule by some skep
tical beings who had thrown away
the birthright of all children their
belief in Santa Claus. Her little
head had become dizzy with doubts
and fears and worries. Her little
heart was bursting with a shattered
faith that would soon turn to mock
cry. "Not believe in Santa Claus? Why,
my dear, little girl, wherever did
you get such absurd ideas? Santa
Claus is the god of Christmas, just
like Mars is the god or war, and
Venus is the goddess of beauty.
Surely you would not doubt Mars
and Venus. They are stars you
know, and you may look up some
night way high up in the sky and
see them shining there. Yes, little
child, there is a Santa Claus. He
is as real as the days m June, and
as long as you believe in him he will
be real to you always."
GOLDEN BELT FAIR
WILL BE ENLARGED
Aeroplane , Landing, Race Track,
Baseball Park With Accomodation
For Football.
Th Henderson Dispatch states that
the directors of the Golden Belt Fair
have acquired new grounds a. quar
ter of a mile east of tne present sue
for a larger and better fair in 4.9 2 2.
The Dispatch says:
The new grounds will permit of
considerably more expansion tnan
has ever been possible before, and
the outlay will-provide what it is
hoped will be the biggest annual fall
Avent. of its kind in this part of the
State, with the exception of the State
Fair at Raleigh.
The race track is to be greatly en
larged, and inside the circuit will be
provided a baseball field, ground for
football games, and a landing for
airplanes.
"The demise of the Granville
county fair, whose grounds have been
closed out and sold, the absence of
a fair at Warrenton and in Mecklen-hnre-
countv. in Virginia, and the
smaller claim of the Franklin county
fair at Louisburg, because of its size,
is looked upon as affording an oppor
tunity to put on .an exhibit that will
be much in advance of anything in
this part of the State' -

THE OXFORD TOBACCO
MARKET CTiriAFJ) DOWff
FOR THE HOLIDAYS
V
Sold To Date 6,547,097 Pounds For
$M20,448.22, An - Average Ol
$24.75 For All Sold.
The buyers, warehousemen, clerks
! and helpers experienced a sense of
ef last Friday ,wnen the last pile
i of tobacco on the warehouse floors
!was sold and the market was offi-
. t-icviiy wuiscu iur me nouaays, to re
open on Tuesday morning, January
3, 1922.
The official figures shows that 6r
oi,uy7 pounds was sold up to the
close n the 16th instant, at $1,620,
448.222, the general average being
$24.75. -
The consensus of opinion is that
there is 2,000,000 pounds of tobacco
in the hands of the Granville County
farmers yet to be sold, and it is the
opinion of a number of well m
formed tobacconists that there is at
least 2,000,000 outside of the county
that wiirfind its way to the Oxford
market before the end of the tobacco
season.
The Public Ledger does not share
the opinion of the Southern Tobacco
Journal in its (Statement "that prac
tically all of the gpod tobacco in the
State was marketed before the close
for the. holidays.". The fact is, the
Granville County farmers have been
disposed to market the good and bad
without thought of holding either
grade until after Christmas, al
though it is generally believed that
the big companies will be , in a po4
sition to estimate during the holi
days just how much of the crop is
unsold and how much they must buy.
If they find that they need low
grades, the bids for that class of to
bacco will be reflected immediately
following the holidays, il; is, said.
The buyers are frank to admit that
they see no reason why there should
be a decline in prices after the holi
days, and one well-known buyer in
formed the Public "Ledger that he
had noticed for many years that there
a slight advance in prices during
the first or second week in January,
if there is not an overproduction.

ProHlbition Commissioner Haynes
last week that a gigantic moonshine
syndicate is operating in this State.
The Federal commissioner gave in

"There are at least two such syn

to be operated by men who stand
high in their communities, in a busi

personally engaged, they furnish
supplies, and money to little fellows
who are doing the worlf.
Mr. Kohloss reported tne capture

Mr. T. E. Bobbitt, onw or the good
men of the county, now 78 years
young, who was married 6Z years
ago next Christmas Eve, remarked
the other day. that he had not
bought a pound of meat or lard since
he was married. He has been ac
tively engaged in farming all of his
life and there has never been a year
since he reached his majority that he
did not have meat and lard for sale.
Mr. Bobbitt regards it the duty of
the farmer to produce the home
supplies first of all, and he has been
at it so long, he says it comes easy
and fortifies the farmer against much
uneasiness.

TOBACCO GROWERS OF
1 GRANVILLE WTILL MEET AT
COURT HOUSE NEXT WEEK
To Perfect County Organization By
Electing Officers.
The campaign for Cooperative
Marketing of tobacco has succeeded
beyond all expectations, and now the
final drive to sign up not less than.
75 per cent of all the tobacco in the
flue-cured belt is on in earnest.
During the remainder of this week
and next North Carolina farmers
have been asked to sign not less than
50 million. pounds, and they are go
ing to do it if every one does his
duty. In a number of the smaller
towns of the State warehousemen,
hankers and business men have gone
to worok signing the contract. If
every business man and banker wiil
line up behind this movement solid
ly, and not wait for the other fel
low to do the job, it will be a won
derful success from the beginning.
Mr. R. W. Lassiter, who for a long
time was President of the First
National, Bank of Oxford, and lias
been connected with practically every
progressive movement in the County
has signed the contract with the men
on his farms and has. offered his
services to assist in any way possible
to make it a success as he believes
it will put the tobacco farmers on a
sound business basis.
There will be a county wide meet
ing held in the Court House at Ox
ford one day during Christmas week
to perfect a county organization by
electing a president, vice-president,
secretary and a treasurer also a di
rector from each township. Every
man who has signed is urged to be
present and -rll those who have not
signed are asked to join with their
fellow farmers so they may have a
voice in selecting officers of county
organization also in selecting dele
gates who will elect the Director for
this district.

THE TOWN COMMISSIONERS v
WILL REMOVE AN
OLD EYE-SORE
A Committee Will Decide What Is
the Best Thing To,, Do With the
Walls Of the Old Market House.
Ever since the old market house
burned down a year ago, the town
board has been in a quandary as
what 'to do with the property: ' The
two tall towers at the. front of the
building were badly cracked bv the
heat, and the commissioners realize
tne last meeting of the board the
question was referred to the. com
mittee on buildings to decide what
is the best thing to do with the pro
perty as it now stands. v .
There is not a, crack in the walls
below; the second story, and as the
building of scaffolds to remove the
tower would be expensive, it was
suggested that workmen begin at
tie rear end of the Duiidmg and re
move tne second story walls as far
uP 10 tne rroat as the tower, then
Duild the second story ana put .on a,
luut' wmcn woum enaDie tne work
men to place timbers so as to reach
the towers.
The majority of the board favor
the plan of making it a. two-story-building,
to put on a roof and close '
the door and windows and not put
cn the. finishing touches until some
one lease the building and suggest
a how to . arrange the interior to best
suit their business. As stated above,
the whole thing is in the hands of the
committee on buildings and grounds,
and it is not known what they will
evolve. ';;
When the building burned down
last January the county commission
ers leased the site to the town of Ox
ford for a period of 99 years with
the proviso that the oid structure
shall be replaced by a creditable
building. It is understood that
there is about $7,000 insurance
money available for restoring the
building. ,
A MESSAGE FROM --.V;
i ELECTOR KTLGORE
The Farmers Will Achieve Greater
Things This Year.
North Carolina agriculture has
made, . remarkable .progress .during
1 9 21. Evidence of a ' determination
to achieve greater things is abundant
on every hand. More pastures, bet
ter seed, and improved livestock are
reported from all overy the i. state.
But the greatest step toward a more
prosperous agriculture and a. fuller
rural life has been the organization
of cooperative marketing associations
for peanuts, cotton and tobacco.
Those who have helped in pro
moting these associations can feel
that their efforts will be repaid
many fold through the years to
come. Today cooperation is in the
air in a very real sense., and the
success of these new associations will
be followed by the organization of
cooperative marketing associations
for sweet potatoes, apples, livestock,
and other products, for agriculture
must be made profitable through
farmers'- own Imarketing ojrganiza
