Some Merchants Will Cooperate In
Offering Bargains While Others
Will Try To Make You Believe
They Are Offering Special
Bargains At All Times.

Read the Eagle for advertisements of
special bargains of Dollar Day.
The advertisements in the Eagle
represent the entrprising merchants
who have special bargains to offer

Oxford has no commercial organlza-
ton. This does not mean that we do
not need one. For if there ever was
a town that needs a commercial club
of some sort it is Oxford.
Because we have tried to have bus
mess leagues here and have failed is
no reason why we should not try
again.
The Editor of the Eagle believes
that we have some material in Oxford
to organize a splendid Commercial
Club. Mr.. Wilson of the Porter
Hardware Co., Mr.. Johnston, Mr.. Gar
dner. Mr.. Claude Roach, Mr.. Eddie
Avent, Mr.. Geo. Knight, MIR. Linker,
Mr. Hughes, Mr. Guy Cook, Mr. Geo.
Woodward, for instance, are all live
wires; they are just the sort of men
required to organize live Commerce
al Club, and there are many other
good men in Oxford VINO would take it
as a pleasure to become a member OF
such an organization.
If the business interest of Oxford
ever hopes to accomplish any thing
worth while it must get together and
organize a business league of some
sort.
Mr.. Charles f. Sisk, who was ready
at all times to assist in the promotion
of business clubs, ha left us, we regret
very much, but with the splendid mat
erial before us we see no reason why
Oxford cannot organize business
league.
When we undertake to have a Dol
lar Day. or Trades Day. we need the
