Oxford, spoke of the criticism that
Oxford is inaccessible He asked is it
true, and went to show that Oxford
has ample landing grounds for air
planes, and suggested that the future
mode of travel appears to be by air
plane. He gave some interesting fig
ures to show that Oxford can be
reached by train from the most re-
mote points of the State, in rela-
lively short time.
Judge Creekmore, of Water Valley,
said that it is not sportsmanlike to
shoot dead dog, and that the eX-
governors duck is 'too dead to talk
about even eating the head. He in
vited the ex-governor to come to Ok
ford and see the great institution he
visualizes, by coming at commence
ment time, and seeing the graduation
Of the son of the gentlemen from/Nox-
ubee, above referred to.
John Valentine, of West Point, a
recent graduate of Ole Miss, now rep
representative said hiatt the dice are
already loaded. He then threw large
dice on the floor, and called the at
tention Of the ex-governor to the fact
that they fell Seven.

Jackson in the interest of Oxford, and
who participated in the invitation to
