Not long since we received 1
letter from a friend in a distsn
city who reads The EAGLE regu-
larry. In the course of his re-
marks he said: al enjoy your
paper very much, but would like
for you to tell me what il the
matter with Oxford? As knew
1t > or 20 years ago It was an
enterprising, busy place OF some
Importance. Now, | see from
TaE EAGLE. that you have few
lawyers, one druggist, one UNDER
taker, one dentist, one livery
hrm and a sewing machine agent.
What IS the matter with your
people?"
We will say to this friend that
we feel sorry that we cannot
answer his question. We have
served the public faithfully, early
and late, in all seasons to the
best of our ability. Other people
have done the same in our line
OF business, and have one by one
been suppressed" out of exist
ence by an unappreciative pub
lie. Perhaps they may conclude
to take u different view of the
matter some day.
And We hope so.
In the meantime, We call the
attention of all inquiring friends
and the public generally to the
advertisement of a real live. en-
terpriing merchant, Mr.. H..
trieduan. He says printers ink
pays him and he wants his cus-
toners to read his prices care
fully and call around when they
need the hes, goods for the least
money.

The arguments in the Koch case are

hasten the conclusion of the trial, and
will undoubtedly send the jury out this
week if it is a possible thing to do. The
question whether the jury can or will
be instructed that if it finds that the
defendant is guilty, but without having
premeditated the crime, it having been
the result of sudden quarrel, it sail
