THE PASSING LOCAL EVENTS OF THE DAY. What Is Transpiring: Around and About Vn, In Town and County Tlio Movement and nolnffs of Peo ple You Know. Kir. Mr. John Thomas has returned from Texas. Air. J. R. Rurnelt & Rro have topped oO.OOO hills of tobacco. Hon. B.ildy Williams and family are now at their summer home near Stovall. Mr. R. S. Usury is now busy laying brick on his new store on College street. Major A. S. Lanier, of Washington City, spent several days here this week. We direct the attention of our readers to administrators notice in another col umn. Messrs. W. T. Hunt and Stephen Daniel paid us a pleasant visit on Satur day. The directors of the Alliance Plug Factory held an important meeting on Monday. Mrs. E. T. Rawlins and children have returned from a several week 9 visit to Mecklenburg countjT, Va. Oxford will soon boast of a granite front bank building, which Is being erected by J. C Cooper & Sons. R. T. Atwood, one of the hard work ing men of Dabney paid his respects to the Public Ledger on Tuesday. Capt. J. B. Hunter, Spotwood Burwell, and John D. Williams of the Fairport section were in Oxford Monday. Mr. & Mrs. Wrillie Howell and chil dren are visiting relatives in Alabama. They will remain about a month. The laying of the cornor stone of the new building of the Colored Orphan Asylum will take place July 27th. Some of our young men gave a most delightful entertainment at the residence of Dr. A. J. Dalby on Friday night. Major T. 1J. Venable who has been very sik for several weeks, has so far recovered as to be able to ride out. We have added 31 new subscribers to our list in the past week. This shows that the farmers appreciate their county paper. We learn that a hail storm last week damaged the tobacco crop of Messrs. J. B. Currin and Geo. B. Daniel. We did not learn to what extent. Messrs. Hundley & Bros, have the contract for the construction of tho Odd Fellows building adjoining the store of D. A. Hunt & Son. Messrs. John Vr. Stovall, J. J. Davis, .1. C. T. Norwood, of Stovall, J. G. Shot' will of Berea, and J. S. Pool of Adoniram were in Oxford Monday. Misses Lillian Boswell and Josie Sanford, who have been on a visit to Miss Almare Neal, returned to their home in Virginia on Wednesday. Brother Robinson, of the Durham Sun, is a mover but not with tusk. He issued a 0-page edition on the 4th printed on red, white and plue paper. We regret very much to hear of the sickness of Mr. Sam Bullock, the efficient drummer for Messrs Bullock & Mitchell. We wish him a speedy recovery. The Board of County Commissioners were in session on Monday, and transact ed important business. We will publish the proceedings in our next issure. Two of Henderson's wide-awake citi zens, Messrs D. Y. Cooper and J, R. Young were in Oxford Tuesday in attend ance upon the grand Alliance Rally. Messrs. C. R. Blackly, Ernest Parham, and B. P. Thorp have gone to Richmond to take part in the opening sales of the Planters Warehouse of Messrs Davis & Gregory. The Town Fathers have kept chipp ing off a few dollars at a time on the Express tax of $20, until thev have got it down to a V, which the Company Is will ing to pay. Dr Herndon has taken up the rough rock on the side walk in front of Bank Block on Hillsboro street, and will put down a neat brick pavement. We thank you kinkly doctor. Mr. Joe Kronheimer, of New York spent several days with his parents this week. Mr. Louis Kronheimer accom panied him to the great. City where he will spend several weeks. Hon. A. IT. A. Williams will have a competitive examination at Greensboro August 12th for a vacancy at West Folnt We would be glad to see some Granville young man bear off the prize. Mr. A. A. Hicks, has resignad as one of the members of the School Board for the county. Mr. Hicks is a. member of Board of Town Commissioners, and with his law practice found it impossible to do justice to the people hence his resigna tion. We regret the retirement of Mr. Hicks as we are sure he would have served the county with great crpdit. The rebuilding of the offices of Bui lock & Mitchell Warehouse is in pro gress. As we goto press we more than regret to learn of the serions illnesa of our hon ored and beloved Mayor, Mr. Louis G. Smith, with erysipelas in the head and face. We know this will be sad news to his host of friends. We are glad to see that the new Township of Salem has made such a nice begining. The gentlemen who took the tax list, Messrs. J. B. Parham, B. I. Breedlove and Amos Dean, proved them selves efficient and competent officer. Mr. J. T. Bullock, who is one of the jurors at the next term of the court has not been inside of the court room in 15 years. He never served on a jury, and never heard a Judge charge a grand jury. Mr. Bullock is a prosperous merchant of 5 mthern Granville. The opening sale of Messrs Davis & Gregory's Warehouse in Richmond was a big affair Major Gregory made a speech at the conclusion of Mr Blackley's voice rang out "How much for this pile of wsappers?" Person county alone had 150,000 pounds on sale. Granville was well represented. Miss Bettie Clarke has sold the Gran ville Institute to Rev. T. U. Faucette of Milton, N. C. This high toned honorable gentlemen will soon remove to Oxford, and Mrs. Faucette who Is a tine educator will open the school in the early fall with a good corps of teachsrs. We regrec the departure of Miss Clarke to another field of labor as she is an accomplished and successful teacher. We more than glad to learn that Capt Gus Graham stated in a speech at the Commonwealth Club Friday night, that work would begin on the Oxford 6 Coast Line Railroad within sixty days. We would rather see it than to hear of it, as It is of vital importance to our to bacco market as well as every other enter prise in Oxford. The farmers are still rallying to the support of the Venue Ledger. We thank Mr. W. T. Farrabow, of Stem, for a good club of subscribers and trust other friends will emulate his example. We tell our merchants and other business men that the Public Ledger is the medium through which to reach the farmers of Granville. Go to any section of the county and you will find the Pub lic Ledger in the homes of the farmers. Stick a pin here. Panacea Water. This celebrated water is doing wonders. Reports are coming in from all directions of cures made after all remedies had failed. Its fame is spreading. It has brought health to the cheek of the afflic ted child as well as to the adult on whom disease had fastened its fangs. We learn that one druggist after seeing what the water had done in his city sent an order for 200 cases, and it is thought he will soon order 500 cases. So much for one of the greatest Springs in the world the one that leads in merit and cures away after the water is bottled and ship ped. In this respect it has no rival. Personal. Learning while in Oxford today that unfavorable comment had been made, not only by The Day but by individuals, upon the "special" from Granville county published In the Richmond Times of J uly 14 and copied in the Public Ledger of last week, we wish publicly to assume the authorship and responsibility of said communication. We regret that the words "not only" did not appear in print, as it was written, before the word Oxford J. B. Hunter. P. O. Box 38. Kittrell, N. C, May 28, 1891. Ieatta of Mrs. Harriet lfobgood. On Tuesday morning last the messenger of death visited suddenly the residence of Mr. .1. F. White on Raleigh street and claimed as its victim the soul of Mrs. Harriet Hobgood, relict of the late Mr. Henry Hobgood in CGth year of her age. Mrs. Hobgood had been in feeble health for some time, but she was thought to be Improveing. On Tuesday morning she was sitting up in a chair, and when she went to lay down, become faint, and ex pired before medical aid could reach her. Dr. Booth reached her a few minutes after she expired and pronounced that death was produced by neuralgia of the heart. Mrs. Hobgood was an exceeding ly good woman, and was a member of the Baptist church. The remains were interred at the old family graveyard some five miles in the country on Wednesday afternoon in the presence of a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends The burrial ser vices were comducted by Rev. J. S. Hardaway. We extend to the bereaved family our sympathy in this their hour of affliction. Tobarco Selling? Ilisli. A lively demand at Cooper's warehouse, at Henderson. Try him with a big lot of tobacco and he will convince you that to bacco is selling higher than elsewhere. Full stock of wagons. mayl5. Owen, Barbodr & Smith. AROUND GRANVILLE. THE FARMERS' ALLIANCE AND ITS INTEREST PROTECTED, What is Going: on in Different Sec tions oh Gathered by the Public Ledger Reporters Views of Corres pondents. Ac. STEM SIFTINGS. Mr. W. T. Stem spent Saturday in Ox ford. Mrs. Sam Jones is visiting friends in Yirginia. Mrs. W. T. Beasley is visiting friends and relatives near here. We are glad to say that Mr. J. S. King, who has been confined to his bed a good while, is able to be out again. That charming young lady, Miss Mary Fleming, who has been visiting Miss Roxie Stem has returned to her home. Hurrah for the Duncan Alkaline Spring. People are going and coming every day to this great water. We hope Mr. Duncan will take more interest in this business that he may be the health restorer of a good many of our people. DEATH OF MISS REBECCA VEAZEY Your correspondent from this place made some mistakes in his communica tion last week relative to his obituary of the death of Miss Rebecca Veazey. The subject of this narrative was born in Feb ruary, 1807, and was in her 85th year at the time of her death, and left a large number of relatives and friends who looked on her Godly walk and Christian conversation to an advantage, she being always ready to rebuke sin and give good advice to the erring, especially to those that profess to be followers of our Lord and Savior. She professed the religion made accessible through the atonement made by her Savior, and strived to adhere to his teachings having joined the Baptist church at Lock's (now Concord) before the date 1825. At the time of her death sue had been a member neerry 70 years. She truly was ripe for the harvest and the Master we believe has taken her as a ripe sheaf entitled to all the blessings of the righteous. "Well done good and faithful servant." A. M. V. FISHING CREEK FLASHES. Mrs. W. O. Bobbitt is quite sick but has improved under the skillful treat ment of Dr. S. II . Cannady. Mr. T. J. Brummitt lost his baby last week. It was about six months old, and was the idol of the family. A little dry at the present ; grass in abundance ; tobacco small for the time of year ; corn looking very sorry ; oats almost ruined by rust. I am informed Mr. A. G. Bobbitt will, the 8th of this month, lead to the hyme neal altar one of Littleton's most highly cultured and beautiful young ladies. May peace and happiness attend them through life. I see there are only four or five of the Oxford merchants who advertise in the Public Ledger. Capt. Landis is one of them. The Captain is one of the men that knows the good of printing ink, and we, the people of the country, know very well it is to our interest to trade with a man that is not too close to advertise in the county paper that almost everybody takes and is interested in. What i9 the reason the other merchants do not seek the trade of the farmers through the Pub lic Ledger ? Are they opposed to the paper, or do they rely solely on what trade they can get from the people of Ox ford? Fi,tnt. GREEN GLEANINGS. Mr. M. L. Coley visited Oxford Mon day. Mr. W. E. Steel was here Monday visit ing friends. Mr. Eddie Cox, of Orange Factory, was here Sunday. Rev. Mr. Sharp will preach for us next Sunday at 4 p. m. We are sorry to learn that Mrs. Samuel Clark is quite helpless. Miss Vellie Aiken is on a visit to her aunt Mrs. Win. Jones in Wake county. We are sorry to hear of the death of little Maggie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jimraie Lyon. Mrs. W. E. Green, who has been visit ing her sister Mrs. Green Ross, has re turned home. Green is going to be the finest town on on the R. & D. R. R. It just keeps going up instead of going down. Miss Lillie Hall, who has been visiting her friends Misses Bettie and Sallie Smith near Tar River, returned home Saturday. Our Sunday-school is building up very j fast and we hope It will continue that ' way. We think if we can have Brother C. A. Wilkins with us every Sunday we ; will have a school right before this year ' nasses awav. Tar Heel. DUTCH VILLE DRIFTINGS. j Miss Lillie Hall, of Green, spent a few days here last week. Mrs. Roxie Farthing has returned to her home in Durham. Miss Fannie Hall, who has been very ill, is slowly improving. Mrs. J. P. Allen who has been sick we are glad to hear is improving. The greatest plague the farmer has to contend witli at this time is the tobacco worm. We are sorry our Wilkins friend failed to give us a wrinkle in the last issue of the Ledger. The wife of Mr. Lemuel Coley Is very ill indeed, and there is very little hope of her recovery. Miss Mollie Woods, of Knap of Reeds, an accomplished young lady and an ex cellent teacher has commenced a school here. Some of our farmers would do well if they would hire less labor and perform a little more themselves, keep fewer horses and save expenses. We are sorry to hear of the death of the sweet little infant daughter, Maggie, of Mr. J. H. Lyon, who died of cholera infantum last Saturday. We think every man in the county should be a subscriber for the Ledger, as it is very interesting to the young as well as the old people of the county. The farmers have their crops in very good condition, but we are needing a shower right much at this time, as we have had no rain of consequence since the 22nd of June. Our Magistrates have been quite busy for the last few weeks. The last case they had before them was between James Aiken and A. A Lyon. Mr. Aiken re fused to pay for a lot of pears after which Mr. Lyon tries by a process of law to make him pay for them. Mr. Lyon gained the case. Mr. Aiken then took an appeal to the Superior Court. Hard Timer. BULLOCK BREEZES. Mrs. Wm. Morton, of Oak Hill, Is the guest of her uncle Mr. Goodrich Wilson. The Misses Saltzman returned to Mil ton this week much to the regret of the young gents of this community. Mr. Wm Carrington, of Halifax Co., Va., spent Saturday and Sunday with his brother Mr. Thos. Carrington. Mrs. John Nelson who has been teach ing school near Buchanan for the past six months, returned home last week. Death which spares neither the old no the young, claimed for its own last Mon day the infant child of Mr. James Math ews. We sincerely regret to hear of the se vere illness of Mr. George Pittard, Sr., who has been confined to his bed for sev eral weeks. Mrs. Jennie Royster Is building quite a handsome residence in front of the for mer one, which will be a great addition to our town when completed. Miss Nannie Wilson, accompanied by her neice Miss Bessie Wilson, of Dallas, Texas, and Miss Nina Nowell, of Coving ton, Ky , arrived at Somerset last Friday. Miss Emma Webb, of Louisburg, Misses Anna and Susie Morton and Mary Easley of Clarksville, Va., are spending this week with Misses Alice and Lizzie Car rington. Corn is looking quite well where it is free from grass. Watermelons will be very scarce this year as it is a general complaint that the bugs will not allow a plant to stand. Farmers are still low-spirited about the prospects for a crop. Almost everything is late and I dare say it will prove for the best as trie forward tobacco is growing slender and narrow. The families of Hon. A. H. A. Williams and Mr. R. H. McGuire, of Oxford, came out to their summer residence at Water loo last week. We are glad to welcome them to our neighborhood. After an illness of several weeks Mrs. Mildred Tally died last Monday. She leaves a large family of children to mourn her loss. We deeply sympathize with them in their great affliction. Will Rex allow Trump to express her many thanks for the many flattering com pliments paid in last number? You have the advantage of me. 1 thought l guessed who you are but if you married a Gran ville girl I am mistaken. Trump. WILTON WHISPERINGS. Mr. J. F. Cannady and Miss Mamie Cannady have returned from Morehead. Miss Pattie N. Lyon is visiting her brother, Rev. J. T. Lyon, at Gibson Station, N. O. As there have not been any visitors in our city, and none of us have been away, don't know what to write about. General Green has had your correspon dent in such close quarters that he hasn't had time to "ruminate" as Bill Arp says. Miss Milly Nance has a meal sifter thai has leen in use G5 years; also a chair that has been used every day for nearly 100 years. The long expected mad dog has visited our section, but fortunately was killed while en route to Oxford. No damage done by his dogship. We lost one of our oldest citizens a few weeks ago, Mr. Henry Turner. He was 86 years old. He stood the storm of life well but at last, like the giant oak, had to yield to the ravages of time. Crops of tobacco not very promising. Corn looking fairly well considering the I work it has had ; wheat not threshed yet, and will turn out a shcrt crop. Tell Mr. Thresher man to hurry on as we would like to change from Johnny hoe-cake to a little cake-bread. The assessors have completed theii work and report that Brassfleld township has over 43,000 acres of land and worth over $240,000, We begin to believe we are a young county and when the Coast Line Railroad reaches Wilton we will commence building our court house. W. P. White, Esq., has some old relics of his ancestors. One is a continental bill of money in which a brass pin has been sticking over 100 years. He also has the dinner pot that was us d by Gen. ('ornwallis during the Revolutionary war ; aid many others that we cannot call to memory. The Sub treasury bill and the Land loan bill are being agitated all through the country. We contend there should l.e no necessity for such bills. First, the l.tborer is worthy of his hire; second, the producers who feed and clothe the world, surely can feed and clothe themselves and have something extra ; and they would be if there was not something wrong in the machinery of our govern ment. Why should the producers have to borrow money to carry on their busi ness when they create the wealth of this nation ? There is something wrong some w here when the tillers of the soil, who labor early and late, through cold and heat, wet and dry, and then not be able to carry on their business without going in debt. Wrong somewhere. It must be fet right. The ax is at the root of th9 tree and we, the producers, intend to use it until something falls. We ask no advantage of other trades, no protection from the government if the government will not shield others acainst us. All we ask is a free country and a fair fight. The great American Tobacco Company has commenced to break up our local markets. What does the moving of Mess. Davis & Gregory to Richmond mean? Who is Mr. Cayce, who was instrumental in that change, but one of the great Amer ican Tobacco Company's managers? This is the second act others will be forced to follow as the great American Tobacco Company continues to increase its strength and finally controll all grades of tobacco, will not buy only at markets they establish one at Durham, one at Rich hiond and warehouses only at large cen tres, thereby compelling the poor farmer to go hundreds of miles to sell his tobacco. We fail to see wherein the W. Duke, Sons & Co. branch of the great American Tobacco Company are such benefactors to their country as to be lauded and praised for buying up colleges and en dowing others, unless they intend to give free board and tuition to every poor boy and girl in the State. We poor tobacco farmers can hardly spare our children from the farm to attend the public school and by this monopoly they have crushed out the fond hope that we once had of being able to send them to college, to prepare them for useful citizenship. Oh what a hard time we farmers have crab grass, horn-worms and monopolies against us. Leo. Completion of Krirtse at Providence. 5 We learn from cne of our old citizens that the people of this locality have been trying to get a bridge built across Tar River at this point for nearly 50 years. The bridge was completed on Saturday by B Vaughan & Son, of Durham county, and Roy Howard, the little son of Mr. E. K. Howard, was the first person to ride across on his gray horse. We do not believe the Board of Com missioners ever would have consented to building of this bridge if such a hard pressure had not been brought to bear upon them by the people through a peti tion of 300 names which was an "eye opener." They appointed a committee of the very best men in the county to get the work done at the very lowest possi ble price, who made a contract with B. Vaughan & Son for $390. The Board would not stand by the contract made by these trustworthy and reliable gentleman and the cut rate knife was applied taking off $40, and the citizens of that neighbor hood had to become responsible for that amount or lose the bridge as the contrac tor refused to do the work at the cut rate. We consider this a small piece of busi ness on the part of the Board of Commis sioners, and we are clearly of the opinion it is their duly to refund the $40 paid by these gentlemen. They pay taxes and are just as much entitled to a bridge to be paid for in full by the county as any other portion of Granville. Weak markets and houses to the rear tne quarter races are over. Carry your tobacco to Cooper's, at Henderson, where !the demand and sales are lively, a strong team to gprotect your interests and get full prices for all grades of your tobacco. MISCELLANEOUS.
