BRIEF DASHES OF THINGS HAPPENING. (on)ir)g and (Joing. YOU OR YOUR FRIEND MAY BE MENTIONED. Forward is The Watchword. We take pleasure In calling attention of our readers to the statement of condition of the First National Bank, published elsewhere in this is sue.

It Is a splendid showing and reflects great credit cn its progressive yet conservative management. Tne past three years show a most substantial and gratifying growth. The deposits in 1902 were $109,000, in 1903 $148,000 and in 1904, they have grown to $216,000 while total resources aggregated more than a quarter of a million. Nothing but a wise management, both by the entlrecon-fidence of the people could have made such results, and the people of this town and county are to be congratulated that they have such an Institute in their midst.

It was a horrible death and much sympathy Is expressed for her mother and other kindred. She was burled Sunday. Organ Recital at the Baptist Church Friday Night One of the best and most delightful entertainments given In Oxford for a long time was the grand Organ Recital at the Baptist Church last Friday night at the installation of the handsome $2,500 pipe organ recently purchased by the church, and we congratulate the organ committee upon the success they have achieved. Prof.

Wade Brown, of Ralelgh.pre-slded at the organ and greatly delighted our people, as did his wife also. Prof. Brown is nerhans the State's leading organist and one ef best known musician in the country having studied his profession for years in Europe. Mrs. Brown is one of the leading soloists in North Carolina, and is heard everywhere with delight.

Her rendition of a number of beautiful selections was received with pleasure by the entire audience. The male quartette composed of Messrs. Darius Eatman and Hubert Poteat, of Wake Forest College, and H. AI. Shaw and Toininle Howell also greatly pleased the audience with two beautiful selections.

The Angel Seranade by Mrs. S. B. Carney, of Portsmouth, daughter of Dr. Dunaway, and Mr.

Poteat was superbly rendered and ellcted much praise. Miss Tauman also rendered pleasing solo. In fact the entire choir and every one connected with the Recital acquitted themselves well. The large church was packed and many had to stand. It is seldom that one is so fortunate as to hear so much excellent music as was heard at the Baptist Church Friday evening.

Our Baptist friends are to be warmly congratulated on the selection of their magnificent organ, and also in their liberality and energy In raising the money to pay for It.

The instrument is one of the largest, most beautiful and sweetest toned organs In the State. Devoted Wife and Mother Gathered to Rest. One by one we pass over the River of Death, and this time we are called upon to write of the passing away of a devoted wife and mother, Mrp. Alex Baker, which occurred Monday morning about 9 o'clock after an illness ofaboutlO days with pneumonia. She was numbered among the best woman of our town and greatly beloved by all who knew her, as she was a good neighbor and ever ready to extend a helping hand to the allllcted and comfort those in distress.

She was a consistent member ofMethodlst church and no doubt was ready for the summons to "Come up higher and rest under the shade of the Trees. She was the daughter of the late John Hargrove of the Falrport section and brother of Mr. J. P. liar-grove of that part of the couuty.

The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 from the home con ducted by Rev. F. M. Shamburger and largely attended, after which the remains were conveyed to Elmwood cemetery where all that was mortal of a greatly beloved wife, mother and sister was consigned to the tomb to await the ressurrectlon morn. The death of Mrs.

Baker was quite a shock to a large number of our people as they were not aware that she was seriously ill, and deepest sympathy go out to the husband and five children in the irreparable loss which they have been called upon to bear, and may He who ever Relgneth on High comfort and sustain them in the trying hour.
