THE report In several Of the large city
daiies that President Cleveland had
been assasinated was wholly without
foundation, and the party who is respon-
sibe for it should be soundly .hrashcd.
At the time the startling announcement
was flashed over the wires, the presi-
dent was quietly and peacefully fishing,

as well as to the public, for some crank
to start such an ugly and blood-curdling

 Our town has harsh sounding bell, which the night watchman taps as the peaceful hours of the night glide away. When its unharmonious notes first break forth on the stiffness of the evening it brings to mind the days when the people of merry old England were required to put out their fires at the ringing of the curfew.
 The business men of Oxford seem to have laid aside the discussion of free sil- yer and other financial questions for the more important work of getting ready for the fall trade. The prospect for business is more promising than it has been for several years and no doubt our mer- chants are right in enlaFging their bor- ders in order to meet the demands of an active season in trade circles.
