BEAUTIFUL LIFE OF MISS CAR-}
nn: HOROOOD COMES TO A j
REAUTIFUIj CLOSE " !
At six o'clock Friday morning. De-!
cember 28, 1923, the angel of death!
entered the home of Dr. and Mrs F '
P. Hobgocd and quietiy bore away!
the soul of their youngest daughter.!
Carrie.
While she had suffered great pain.'
which was borne with wonderfui for
titude and patience, her passing was
peaceful and calm. Conscious to the
very last, her thought, as was char
acteristic of her unselfish nature,
wag of others, and not long before;
the end came. she requested the}
nurse not to let her parents, whom !
she ioved with the tenderest devotion.}
come into her room because -she did!
not want them to s\^ her suffer.
Deprived in early iife of health and'
strength, she gave up the pleasures'
which go with happy, core-free girl-j
hood, devoting herself entirely to
her ioved ones. i
"Taddy," as she was affectionately!
cailed by her family and intimate!
friends, apreciated beauty, as only!
artistic natures can, at the same time
she was practical, and displayed good
judgment, as well as good taste in '
every thing she didr*-' Her friends
aud relatives, knowing her love for!
flowers, surrounded her in her last!
iiiness. which was of several weeks,
duration, with specimens of rare!
beauty, and the room in which he* :
ca-sket iay was a perfect bower of
beauty. It was indeed a never-to-he'
forgotten picture,—the lovely form !
in the iovely casket, surrounded by
beautitui flowers of every hue. It
might be said of her, as Dickens says
cf "Little Nell.", i
"She wag dead. No sleep so
beautiful and calm, so free from
trace of pain, so fair to iook upon.!
She seemed a creature fresh from the,
hand of God, and waiting for the
breath of life; not one who had lived i
and suffered death."
The 'Simple funeral service was
conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. D..
Harte, assisted by Dr. F. H. T. Hors
field.
The active pall bearers were her
nephews. B. S. Royster, Jr., Roy'
Royster. Thonrag Royster, F. W. Han
cock. Jr.. E. B. Howard, J. B. Mayes,
Jr. and R. T. Howerton, Jr.
The following nieces were the flow-!
er bearers: Miss Dorothy Royster.
Mrs. R. T. Howerton, Jr., Mrs. J. G.;
Currin. Mrs. J. B. Mayes. Jr.. Mrs. E.!
B. Howard, Mrs. F W. Hancock, Jr.,!
etnd Mrs. Roy Royster.
The Board of Deacons of the First j
Baptist Church were the honorary;
pall-bearers.
The devoted parents, two brothers, i
Mr. F. P. Hobgood, Jr., of Greens
boro, Dr. J. E. Hobgood. of Thom
asville. two sisters. Mrs. B. S. Roys'
ter and Mrs. F. W. Hancock of Ox
ford. while sorrowing over the sep
aration from their loved one. are <
sustained by the Christian comfort!
which comes to the truly cultured!
heart, soul and mind in such an hour.
The sympathy of a wide circle of
friends goes out to this esteemed j
family. i

The nation hag made a record of

CHRISTMAS WEEK
WAS QUIET IN
THE OLD TOWN
ONH XHAB HTOT AND A HAH
DOKEK DRUNKS
Hillard Lyon, Colored, Sent To the
Roa,ds Eor Eight Months.
The hydro-headed snake that
lurks in moonshine liquor made its -
appearance on the streets of Oxford;
several time-s during Christmas week.!
Strange what effect the vile stuff j
ha.d on some of those who inbibed I
freely. One man thought he had!
religion whiie another one thought;
he was being chased by the devil.;
Only about a half dozen of the most
violent ones were arrested.
Giliard Lyon, colored, who was
: found guilty of trafficing in iiquor
six months ago forfeited his $600
! bend and enjoyed freedom up to New
dears Eve, at which time he returned
S to the oid town and his former
! haunts. Officers Ciark and Jackson
traced him to a house in the lowet
: part of town, but he jumped through
; a window and came up town, the two
; officers in hot pursuit, ^hey arrest
! ed him near Crenshaw's Garage, but
a large number of colored people
rushed in upon the officers and swore
at them and accused them of having
murdered a man recentiy. One old
level-headed negro in the mob ad
vised the prisoner to submit quietiy
to the arrest and avoid any trouble,
but this had very little effect upon
the crowd. Admid threats and jeers
the officers finally landed their pris
oner behind a closed door in Cren
shaw's Garage and phoned to the!
Sheriff and Constable E. N. Bragg to;
come to their lescue.
In Municipal Court Wednesday.
Mayor Stem sentenced the said Gil
iard Lyon to eight months on the
road. He had previously served two
terms cn the road and is regarded as
a bad man.
The recent triad of Clark and Jack
-son on the charge of having killed a
negro in self-defense while in the dis
charge of their official duty, does not
set well on th minds of a large num
ber f colore dpeople, and this is re
schsibio for the mad spirit tlia.t mani
fested itself on Christmas Eve, at
which time the officer'-s lives were
threatened, and they were justified in
shooting, but preferred not to do so.
The sooner the people, both black and
white. learn that they must not resist
an officer the better it will be. The.
officer may be wrong in making thej
arrest, but while there is life there j
is a possibility of speedy adjustment, j
EASTER OF 1924
WILL COME ON
SUNDAY, APRIL 20;
—
And after h.ew V ear the next great j
festal occasion is Easter. So the;
story runs, and brings to mind the;
fact that Easter of 1924 falls on Ap-j
rii 20, just about as late as Ea-ster;
ever comes. i
A late Easter means a well-dressed}
crowd, fruit trees robed in plente-i
ous bloom, flowers exhibiting every]
color of the rainbow. Ye who now<
shiver in the cold of a bleak Jan-j
uary may picture to yourself a balmy
April day in Oxford. Through thej
ooen windows of churches turned in-j
to floral cathedrals is heard the peai;
of the organ, the words of the bene-j
diction and the "Amen" of the choir, j
Down the.step-s of the church comes;
the ioyous crowd, some members of i
which while others meander along,
greenbordered sidewalks.
But it is a long time before Easter!
and the reason it is such a long, long j
time is that the full moon in March;
falls on Ihe 20th of that month which
is just one day before the equinox j
which marks the beginning of spring, i
The rule as to the coming of Easter is!
simple and should not be forgot. It t
is this: Easter is the first Sunday'
after the first full moon after the ver-;
nal equinox next year is scheduled.
for April 19. which is a Saturday. I
FINE FAMLY WILL
LEAVE GRANVILLE
Regrets are expressed of the de
parture of Mr. M. F. Adcock and fam-j
iiy of Route 5. Mr. Adcock will re
main in the county until Saturday,
January 12, at. which time he offers
for sale hi-s stock, feed and farming,
implements, the same being adver
tised in this paper. The loss of this:
spiendid family is Wake Forest's!

TWO OF THE LARGESr
Two of the largest shoats butch-!
ered this season belonged to John'
Clark, who lives in the suburbs ofj
Oxford. The pigs were only 14;
month-3 old, and when dressed last'
week each weighed 610 pounds. They!
were fattened by Mr. C. J. Turner. j
Mr. W. g. Pruitt* of Fishing Creek,}
recently killed a porker that weighed;
560 pounds. This hog was 14 months]
old, and it took.on weight at the rate
of o^e pound per day last year.

COMMUNITY CHRIST
MAS TREE. WAS A
PLEASANT MEMORY
One Of the Most Heautifui Annua!
^ Of A!! the Various Activi
ties Of the Oxford Woman's Club
Is the Community Christmas Tree.
For the past few years a tree has
been set up in Oxford at a central
location of the town (at the Christ
mas season) the magnificent cedar of
this year being perhaps the hand-som
est one ever displayed.
Towering up twenty odd feet into
the air its branches wired with hun
dreds of colored incandescent lights
a substantial platform surrounding
its trunk with steps leading down
from it to the ground, and all dis
gmsed with evergreen shrubbery_
the whole made an impressive setting
for the enactment of a beautiful
pageant on Monday evening, the day
before Christmas.
The scene was inspiring, and the
spirit of Christmas became infectious
in the great throng that gathered
round to view the pageant of the
Holy Nativity, and to hear the read
ing of scripture, aud join in the
singing of Christmas anthems—the
words of which were flashed by spot
ight on a mounted placard, that all
might see.
To the Executive Committee of the
Civic Department of the Woman's
Club who planned this Community
Christmas tree, is du^ something
more than the vote of thanks ih'ident
to ordinary entertainments fTkd it
is very certain that from ali thought
ful persons of the community a sin
cere and hearty tribute of apprecia
tion is felt for this splendid feature
of common interest so carefully and
beautifully planned aud executed by
a few of Oxford's enthusiastic young
club women.
One can never tell how far reach
ing in effect is the pure and hearten
ing influence of a Christmas tree in
which ali may claim a share—nor
how many homeless " hearts are
cheered at the mere sight of the tree,
with all its blessed associations.
The Star of Peace that burned so
brightly in the topmost branch may
have guided -some wayfarer in the
right way, Or, suggested reverence
and devotion in an indifferent heart
as did that other star at Christmas
time, so long ago.
The committee wish to thank every
one who gave time and encourage
ment and substantial aid toward
bringing their plans to pass. Es
pecially do they feel grateful to Chief
Hobgood without whose active in
terest and vauable assistance they
could have accomplished little—and
to Mr. J. Hobt. Whood who is always
dependable when help is needed, in
the interest of the community work.
The community at large, with one
voice, wishes to thank the entire
force of workers-—with the hope-that
the New Year yield each one a har
vest of happiness that is commensu
rate with the pleasure that hag been
afforded by them in their efforts ex
pended on the Christmas tree.

Church, near Berea, wish to thank
