A GREAT DAY AT OXFORD

The Oxford annual barbecue hscome and gone and left a train < fpleasant memories to the 2000 peoplewho attended not forgetting thepleasant smiles that will wreath the500 baby faces that the busy censustaker said were present for a week tocome

It Is true the people of Oxford ex-pected

¬j

a big crowd and some of theenthusiasts like Hamp Brinson and I

Tack Driggers insisted it would be =

a record breaker in more particulars-than one and some how these oldtime picnic prophets were for onceright The crowd of Saturday beatanything in numbers that ever gather-ed

¬

In the social village of Oxford Theday was ideal could not have beenmore perfect had Henry Shaw ofPedro who never misses the gather ¬

ing been permitted to name the in ¬

gredients that consists a perfect pic ¬

nic day in Florida It Is true somepeople insisted the sun was too vat>between 12 to 3 oclock but the reallyhandsome young ladles present andthere were a few insisted that every ¬

thing and everybody including theIce cream lemonade and coca colawas perfectly lovely and that theywould die protesting the same as theycame up smiling to the stand

Every time a young gallant or anold one too for that matter wouldpleasantly remark come and have anIced drink as sure as the sun didshine and the 500 babies cooed and themothers laughed as their babies cooedthe said handsome and coquettishfair one irresistibly replied thanksand I will Now this question or re-

freshments¬

in the form of liquids isattested by the fact that the lemon-ade

¬

and ice cream stands over whichthe following oldstandbyes officiat-ed

¬

namely Will Jeffcoats WalterMartin M W Henson and JeffersonMoulds ice cream Hamp Brinson RP Bowman Will Steele and WillStepp and Wess Harris and E C Hoodsold tickets so as to expediate theserving of refreshments The moneytaken in by 4 oclock was 240 which-is

I

some take at 5 cents a take Theyused a ton of ice and seeing that theywould run short telegraphed for anextra supply and that soon disappear-ed

¬

and shortly after 4 oclock thestands closed up for lack of stock intrade while the meat man of the placewho had stocked up with soda waterbut could not sell as long as the cem ¬

etery association had drinks opened-out and he cleaned up every thing hehad In stock showing the thirst fest I

could not be abated but as the formof drink was of the kind that did not I

inebriate the moisture of the earthwas all to the good

Rube Perry he of the 400 poundsgirth and whose equal is not in the I

state when it comes to barbecuingmeat did to the queens taste two big

I

beeves seven hogs and five goatsand not a pound of which was left-over It just did fill the bill to thegreat gastronomic pleasure of all tosay nothing about the basket supplyof chicken fixing and all the word im-

plies¬

with pies cakes tarts bunspreserves jellies jams etc It wag allto the good

To show the crowd was all that weinsist it was the two rows of tablesthan ran for a block and a half to thesouth to the Baptist church under themagnificent rows of oaks a big widestreet was a solid mass of people andthe tables not near large enough tosupply all these so additions werescattered in all directions at one ofwhich was counted 100 people-

For an hour this genial jovial crowdperformed gastronomic feats that onany other day would have caused the I

same people to blush at the thoughtof the wonderful appetites they pos ¬ I

sessed and to top it all off ninety gal ¬

lons of the genuine juice of the coffeebean were brewed with cream andsugar thrown in as an assurance ofgood faith and it was taken at its facevalue every particle of it

This annual barbecue and picnic atOxford is given for the benefit of thecemetery fund The net proceeds ofthe refreshment stands go into a funto see that the fence walks al dlawns of the Oxford Pine Level Cem-etery

¬

are kept in presentable shapeduring the year and they surely are tothe credit of the people of the Oxford I

sectionI

Oxford TruckersWe have said often and repeated it

the people of Oxford and community-in

I

all the essentials of generous kind-ly

¬

manhood and fair womanhood com ¬

pares more than favorably with anyother section of the state and in fer ¬

tility of lands and competent truckersand farmers they are the equal of thebest if not a little superior They 1

sure do live at home and board at thesame place I

Here is the showing of the OxfordTruckers Union which handles halfof the truck output The veteran DickPhillips is president of the excellentorganization and J Q Reece is its ableand efficient manager It was MrReeces purpose to give up a detailedstatement of the seasons work andresults but his assistant had the keyto the office and he gave it frommemory and in a general way Theunion handled 5000 worth of fertiliz-ers

¬

of the WilsonTcomer make The I

result of this application notwith-standing

¬

the dry weather amounted to425 cars of melons 125 cars of can-

taloupes¬

225 cars tomatoes with anumber of cars of squash beans etcwhich in that section are side lines

Y The crate bill of the union was 1600

It banked 15000 as the net proceeds-of the crop handled The union paidthe fertilizer bill and while the sea-

son¬

was not a brilliantly successfulone as far as profits go yet In themain the truckers have not much tocomplain about

But in Oxford as elsewhere the oold story is repeated A few mademoney the great majority of them

4 V

I

came out even all bills were paid and-a few dollars to their credit and thatother remnant that lost out I

When the growers union of Oxford I

truckers is taken with the other 50per cent who did not belong to theunion the showing Is not so had j

which is verified by Mr H A Collierhead of the Sunset Lumber Crate J

Co of Oxford who said speaking of I

the output of his mill that with them I

it was the best sca on they ever had I

and most satifartory in payments J

This institution employs thirtyfive i

persons steadily nnd at present fortyas the mill is being overhauled for re ¬

sumption of workI

The stores four In number are do-ing

Ocala Fla

Dear Sir This happened seven i

years ago A man hawing three littlepoultry houses bought one galloneach of two paints to paint thempaid 160 for one and 175 for theother 15 cents difference

The 160 gallon painted one house I

the 173 gallon painted the other twohouses The cost of the paint wasfirst house 160 second house S71 tc I

thind house S74c-But

I

painting goes with paint and itcosts as much to paint one paint asanother about 350 a gallon

The painting of one of those houseswith 160 paint cost the same as thatof the other two with 175 paint350 Difference 175 a house same

way as the 75 cents I

Four years ago he painted that first I

little house again same painthe I

wanted to know what the cost ofkeeping a house wellpainted really isThe other two houses didnt needpainting 1

Last year he painted all three little I

houses same paints as at first andreckoned his cost to date of begin-ning

¬

of the jobThe first little house had cost 510

ttwice or 1020 and was ready to

I

paint again the second two houseshadagain

cost 520 and were ready to paint I

That is saving 15 cents a gallonmade one house cost twice as much asthe other two houses besides the fussof an extrapaint job in three years

The 175 paint was DevoeThis tale is madeup of a thousand

experiences Devoe is always thepaint that takes less gallons costsless money wears lower less fuss

I And the cost of Devoe a s about oneI fourth of the cost of a paint thatdoubles the gallons

ter of a mile from town when in theexcitement due to the flight of a dovethere was a report and Kimbroughfell The other two boys were sofrightened by the accident that they atonce fled to the nearest house tospread the alarm Neither seemed toknow whose gun had done the fatalwork

Love Kimbrough an uncle of theboy was the first to get the news andhurried to the spot where he foundBernice dead in a cow path with alarge hole in his right side and theshirt around the hole on fire

Dr Shipworth of Webster who hap ¬

pened to be near was called and onprobing the wound found that theload of No 3 bird shot had passed en-

tirely¬

across between the spine andheart and lodged just under the skin-on the left side

As everybody was perfectly satis ¬

fied that the shooting was purely acci ¬

dental and there was no officer with-in

¬

reach an inquest was deemed un ¬

necessary and the body was remov-ed
