The illustrated trade issue Of the Ok
ford Public Ledger will soon be out. We
have seen the title page and. it is both
handsome and attractive, printed in red
ink. 1t will be such a publication as will
reflect credit upon the publishers, Messrs.
Collins & Britt, and the enterprising pub
lic-spirited business men of Oxford.
The man who for years lives in one
community and leads q reputable life.
even though he be of moderate ability,
will grow in the confidence and esteem OF
his fellows. On the same principle news
paper advertisement becomes familiar to
| the eyes OF the readers. 1t may be seldom
! read, still it makes thename and business
| OF the man familiar, and it's presence in
the columns OF q paper inspires confidence
! IN the stability OF his enterprise.-P. T.

Mr.. W. r. Henry, of counsel for Messrs
Cross and White, was in Raleigh last
| week and made a motion to argue in the
in arrest of Judgment, when the man
date of U. S. Supreme Court is sent down
| In answer to the motion, Chief justice
| Merrimon said that the court could not
| anticipate the action OF the court above
but that no disposition of the matter
would be made until counsel was heard
| While in some sections of this Stat,
county scrip is at discount, here in
Vance it is worth dollar for dollar an(
there is not q merchant in town who vii
not accept county orders as readily al
the cash. This is creditable to the Boart
of Commissioners as it is to the tax-pay
ers and the Sheriff of the county. Thu
affairs of few counties are as carefully ant
ldiscreetly managed as ours, as the condi
ton of our finances and public institu
tons will show.

gets the early customer, and the enter
prising business man tells what goods h
has for sale, their cheapness and thei
good qualities in advance of the seaso
so that would-be buyers can see and sc
lect and not wait for the night befor
Christmas when the stock has been pick
ed over and depleted by those who hav
looked ahead. Advertise now.
= Says the Newton Enterprise: There is n
telling how many small debts one dolla
mote will pay if the man who first gets i
will go directly and pay a bill he owe
somebody else, and thereby enable hir
to pay somebody else, etc, etc. To
many people are in the habit when a bi
is presented, even when they have tn
money in their pockets, OF saying: "Wel
call at some other time, can't pay
now," when in all probability the on
presenting the bill wants to turn it owe
: to meet bill which he owes. Thus
long string of disappointment and III
paid debts hang upon one mans pc
yerseness.
