Prof. Walter Barnhart, iirincipa. of the Oxford High School and teach er of the class in Commercial Geo graphy, visited the Public Ledger of fice with his class yesterday after noon to see the practical side of mak ing a newspaper. The young people were very much impressed with the typesetting machines, press, stero typing and all other mechanical equipment. It was explained to them that the first essential to expediting the work of making a newspaper is good clear copy, properly spelled and punctuated and free of grammatical errors. In the class were: Prof. Walter Barnhart, teacher; Mrs. Foy Nelson, Creagh Calvert, Hartwell Lanier, Bennie Watkins, Bruce Walters, Frances Brown, Ellie Currin, Eliza beth Dorsey, Bessie Faulkner, Del phia Harris, Leona Hight, Myrtle Hight, Naomi Moss, Kezzie Reece, Tell Smith, Virginia Turner, Carrie Watkins. Prof. Barnhart is doing a noble work in pointing the young mind to the practical side of things. Hig in junction to the class is to ask ques tions and see that they understand the fundamentals before dismissing the subject from their minds. The Class recently visited Judge Devin's court and several industrial etsab lishments in Oxford, and are still on the go in search of practical informa tion.

There are too many peddlers in Oxford. Every time there is a large crowd in town, we see many of them. They care anothing about our county except to get what money they can. They do not live here. They pay ! nothing towards the support of our streets and institutions. Some of ; their goods are schemes and fakes. jThey pay a small license to do this, j j but the license is too small and the! I town council should raise the tax so j ; it will keep out many of these fel- j lows. I ' If our people would pay more at-! tention to their local merchant and j less to outside agents and mail order j houseg we would all be the better j thereby.

WHERE ARE YOUR WAN DERING CHICKENS TODAY? Do They Hother Your t Neighbors? The Public Ledger would j respectfully reuiind our readers ; that it is their duty to keep their chickens out of their neigh- ) bor's garden. Now that the i planting season is at hand, it ! would be well to look out for j your chickens at once and avoid i the severance of diplomatic rela tions with thy neighbor. RESOturiONS OF RESPECT "Somewhere, surely, afar, ! In the sounding labour-house vast I Of being, is practised that strength } Zealous, beneficent, firm." j This tribute paid in 1857 to the ! memory of Dr. Thomas Arnold, ' headmaster of Rugby School for I boys, may be fittingly applied to the < memory of him who for forty-three ! years served as president of Oxford ! College for girls. As much as the } sturdy manhood of England owed to } the great teacher, Dr. Arnold, so! ) much does the sterling womanhood j of North Carolina owe to the late Dr. j Franklin P. Hobgood. His life, like } a noble edifice, was reared upon t these principles: reverence for God !as Creator and Father; devotion to < family as the bulwark of individual and state; delight in the illumina itions of knowledge and beauty; and ' unquenchable love of humanity. Such ! a personality could not fail to be an i inspirer of youth. The public knows jwhat Dr. Hobgood did; only those j who worked with him know fully what he was. The buoyant, genial spirit, the ready jest, the sympathetic word, the fervor of his handclasp, the sunshine of his smile ,the cheer that emanated from his gentle soul, are best remembered by those whose daily lives touched his. The stu dents of Oxford felt for him an al most filial love; his teachers knew [him as their loyal friend. Patriar } chal in its simple dignity, sublime in its Christian joy, his life was one I long beatitude; his death trium i phant, and his memory benign. ! Therefore, be it resolved: j (1) That we, the faculty of Ox ! ford College, express our feeling of ' personal as well as of professional ! loss in the removal of our honored land beloved President; ! (2) That, in his passing, the state ! has lost one of its greatest apostles jof the sanctity of womanhood and I the sacredness of the home; { (3) That this zealous endeavor to ' implant Christian ideals in the i hearts of young women, and to edu ' cate them for lives of Christian use ' fulness, has been a potent factor in the development of the spiritual re sources of North Carolina; and that his own illustrious services in the ! cause of Christ will be an ever lumi : nous memorial; ! (4) That a copy of these resolu ! tions be given to the bereaved family, as an expression of our profound sympathy; and that copies be sent also to the Oxford Public Ledger, the ! Biblical Recorder, and the Education . Board of the Southern Baptist Con . vention. MRS. C. G. JONES ! MARY McMICKING HELEN HARRIET SALLS Committee. GOVERNOR JARVIS'S WIDOW IS DEAD The First Widow Of An Ex-Governor Of the State To Be Given Tension —Survivor Of the Atlantic Hotel Disaster. ! (Greenville Correspondent) { Mrs. Mary W. Jarvis, 83, died here jlast Friday after a lingering illness ; of two months. She had been in de-, , dining health for several months, ; She was the widow of Thomas J. Jar-j ' vis, who was governor of North Car- j olina from 18 79 to 1885. i Mrs. Jarvis was the first widow of an ex-governor of the State to ever beI i given a pension. Several years ago she was voted a monthly allowance { of $150 by the General Assembly.; Mrs. Jarvis had been prominent in social and church life of the Stjate' until her declining years caused her; to lead a more secluded life. j Mrs. Jarvis was one of the survi-; voi's of the Atlantic Hotel at Beau fort, which was demolished by wind: and tidal-wave forty odd years ago while her husband was governor. The funeral services were held) Saturdav from the Jarvig Memorial Church, which was named in honor ' of her late husband.

POLiTICAL POT iS BUBMNG IN THE OLD HOME TOWN '."'.".I,;.;..,,;,! Rae. ,, To Considerable Extent. That this is another campaign year cannot be mistaken by any one who joins the little knots of men On the street corner and listen to them discuss men aud measures. The Tea pot Dome scandai furnished suf ficient steam to set several hundred tongues wagging. Tn the presidential cross country affair Candidates Coolidge and Adoo hold the center of the stage. There is quite a bit of conversation reiative to the boom for Josephus Daniels, former secretary of the editor of the Raleigh News and Observer. Despite various presidential boom3 and the variety of opinions as to the possibilities growing out of the Tea pot Dome scandal. McLean and Bailey, gubernatorial candidates, hold the center of the stage. The McLean supporters are outspoken in their allegiance, but the Bailey back ers are as silent as an oyster. "I regret we are to have a bitter campaign," remarked a good farm er. "McLean and Bailey ere good men, but both of them are politicians, and for that reason I wish it was possible to eliminate them from the race and put in a man like Judge Devin, who would lead us to a great victory without a jar to the party." Much speculation is being made as to who will be our next County offi cers. That there will be a contest in some of the offices is certain unless some of our people who "love to run" takes back what they, or rather their friends have said. The biggest contest, as it now ap pears. will be furnished again by the Sheriff's office. It is said that a popular man in Tally Ho is being groomed for the place. So far as we have heard no contest has developed in the Register of Deeds office but as the race is young yet there is plenty of time to take a try at the goal. Judge D. C. Hunt, clerk of the court, is smiling that broad smile of satisfaction that tells the boys to go to it, without the uneasiness of enter ing a contest himself as his term holdg for another two years. Granville will not be entitled to a Senator this year, but wili of course, elect a Representative. It has been suggested that possibly Hon. John S. Watkins will offer to succeed him self. The game is early however, and the political air in the County in dicates that there will probably be as many ag two or three to contest for this coveted place of honor. The office of Coroner, which has thp distinction of being the biggest office in the County and at the same the smallest will come in, no doubt, and command attention with a friendly if not a heated contest. It appears that there is only one office coveted by the ladies this year, that of county treasurer, and it is barely possible that the present in^ cumbent may have a fair running mate if he announces for the office again. And then there is the Commission ers .which always brings about quite a little personal interest. While no names have yet been mentioned there will be a contest here and there as there always is. Adding to our county contest those of the state and nation it looks as if the voters of both sexes will have a plenty to keep them interested g&d on the^run until after the first Sat urday in June. Lets hope however that each contest will be conducted along high and noble lines^ and if the candidate don't do so let the vo ters put the stamp of disapproval on any ugly mud slinging campaign. MUST PAf FOit Pi4PER The law in rgeard to newspapers has been construed that if a person accept from the mail a newspaper or periodical, they become liable for the payment of the subscription price. This does not include sample cop ies of a paper but one that is sent to person continually and that per son accepts it. Then he becomes liable for the subscription. This is the reason that the Public Ledger has always discontinued a paper when the subscription has expired, because the subscriber might not want it and we don't want to make anyone pay for a paper that he does not want. We want to keep all our subscribers and trust that you wik continue to watch your label so that when the time is out you will renew. The Public Ledger is in almost ev ery home in Granville county, and the only paper in many homes.
