CONCERT BY THE ORPHANS.
Hear Them at Cooper Opera House
Tonight.

The Singing Class of the Oxford
Orphan Asylum will give concert at
Cooper Opera House this Thursday
evening under the auspices of Hen
derson Lodge, No. 229, A. F. 4 A. NJ.
1t is hoped there will be large audi
ence to hear them. The cause is a
most worthy one and the entertain
ment we'll worth the price OF admis-
sion. Come out and hear them, it
will help you and your presence will
help the children.
The Rocky Mount Motor, where
they gave concert last week, says
of the Singing Glass:
1t was beautiful sight to see the lib
erality of those who attended the exer-
cises of the orphans in Crews warehouse
Monday night. Over ! 900 were in at
tendance and it seemed that all respond
ed to some extent to the invitation to
help that worthy cause. Men who are
considered hard and stern in the every
day and business affairs Of life, gave
largely and freely. Men who lay no
claim to hope of future reward for their
good deeds in this world, gave OF their
means without stint. 1t is refreshing
and consoling to realize that with all the
ups and downs in this life. there is in the
heart of all human beings a feeling of
sympathy and love for humanity, which
comes to the surface when the less fortu-
nate needs the aid of those the Creator
has blessed more fortunately. Truly it
is more blessed to give than to receive.
The collection amounted to something
over S132.

Artistic Wall PAPER.

Attention is directed to the change
in advertisement of John W. Over
ton, Kittrell, n c., agent for Alfred
Peats & Co.'S. artistic wall papers.
This is one of the Oldest and most
extensive wall paper houses in the
country. They are manufacturers
and importers, having establish
ments in New York, Philadelphia,
Boston and Chicago. While Jealous
Of their proportions and Importance
it is the quality, coloring and design
OF their goods that they think it
more essential to maintain the
standing of and no one claims any
other line excells theirs in this re
spect. Mr. Alfred Peats was the
originator of the system Of selling
wall paper from sample books
through the hands of agents, and
when a person buys of one of their
agents, no fear need be entertained
but what they will get exactly what
they order, and that the goods will
prove not onlk more satisfactory
but more economical in the long run
than any other wall paper which they
may buy.
A postal card will bring Mr.. Over
ton with his samples to your door if
you wish to buy any wall paper.

TWO DESERVING MEN.
Gen. Julian S. Carr aud Col. VIM. n.
s. Bur4wyn.

Noting the statement of Gen. Carr
that he is not a candidate for Gov
ernor, (his name having been men-
toned in that tconnection) Fairbroth-
er's Everything, of Greensboro, says:
OF all the men in the State of North
Carolina who deserve political recog-
milton, Gen. j. S. Carr unquestiona-
bly, stands at the head of the list. In
the hearts OF the people-a large ma
iority of the people-General Carr is
first. With the politicians he does
not stand we'll He is loyal and true
and understands there is something
in life besides the cold calculation of
personal success. He is a man whose
heart has ever gone out when charity
appealed. He has not waited for
people to starve before sending food
to them. He has done a thousand
things for which the people of Dur
ham and North Carolina and the
South will ever honor his name And
when generous julie Carr finally
passes from the field of action then
thousands upon thousands OF peo-
pie will regret that they did not give
him his due His ambitions have
been justified but his treatment at
the hands of politicians show that it
does not pay-if on earth we look
for reward-to be either generous or
public spirited. Only the other day
a gentleman said to us that there
were two men in this State who had
been shabbily treated. One was julie
Carr, who had done SO much for
Durham and North Carolina, and
the other was Col. w. H. S. Bur-
gwyn, who had done for Henderson,
North Carolina, twenty times as
much as any other man-but who
was allowed to go elsewhere to en-
bark in business. But when it is
everlastingly too late the patriots
and sentimentalists will be found
bringing flowers. They will regret
that they did not do more for the
living-for the living who had done
SO much for them.

A JuBiLANT DAY,
The Celebration of St. Johns DAY at
the Oxford Orphan Asylum Signal
Success

Oxforti Public Ledger.
AS usual the celebration on st.
Johns Day at the Orphan Asylum
was a great day Early Wednesday
morning crowds began to gather
from all parts OF the county in one
OF the most beautiful spots in North
Carolina. There were a number of
visitors present from different parts
OF the State, among them being
many prominent Masons who gath
cred here to witness the imposing ex-
ercises at the institution they love SO
we'll Fine looking men and pretty
and we'll dressed women both in Gran
vile and out of it were largely in evi-
dence. The address of welcome was
delivered by Capt. W. A. Devin, of
Oxford, which was a very appro-
pirate speech and delivered in a
pleasing manner. In welcoming those
gathered to celebrate this day Capt.
Devin spoke of the old and honor
able Order of Masons and of the
splendid work they had done for hu-
manitv He also reviewed briefly
the great work done by the Oxford
Orphan Asylum under the fostering
care of this Order and what the work
meant for the unfortunate boys and
girls OF the State. He complimented
the present wise management of the
institution. The speech was just the
right one for the occasion and those
who heard it expressed themselves as
much pleased with it.
Following this was the regular ad-
dress, which was delivered by the
Hon. W. W. Kitchin, Congressman
from this district. This was one of
the best addresses Mr.. kitchin has
delivered here. and he always delivers
good ones. The address was de-
livered i'll that easy, simple and
forceful style which characterizes
all of Mr.. kitchin's efforts and
which render his speeches so inter-
esting. The speech was also rich
in sound, practical and convincing
thought.
The exercises by the children were,
as usual, of an interesting character
and much enjoyed by everybody.
The beautiful singing showed how
excellently they had been trained.
What a beautiful sight it was to be-
hold this company of bright and
happy of boys and girls singing, and
to know they were being trained in
this splendid home for life of useful
ness AID happiness. And just here
we would commend the able and ju
dicious management of this noble in
stitution by Col. Hicks, ably assisted
by Miss Bemis and his excellent corps
of teachers. 1t was never managed
better. The children are we'll cared
for and are always CHEEKY, neat and
happy. They are well clothed and
are given plenty of exercise and
enough work, together with the dis
cipline they need. They are uniform
ly kind and polite and show that
they are not neglected either socially
or morally. OF course they are also
we'll taught in school. Much credit is
due Col Hicks and his efficient help
ers and managers.
There were baskets brought both
by town and country people and a
fine dinner was served in the grove
Altogether the day was a successful
and Joyous one.
