At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Roxboro Graded Schools, held last Friday,' Prof. R. H. Burns waa elected Super intendent of the schools for the next year to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Prof. N. C. Newbold. The Board had a number or ap plications before them, but after much consideration Mr. Burns was unanimously elected. The Board decided that-the interest iof the school and the town would be best served-by. his election. Every member of the board was present, except Mr. Reade, who was detained by sickness.

The preachers were, to all hu un appearances, devout, pious, iod-f earing men, fluent in speech n zealous in spirit with great ve for their church (the old baptist) as they were pleased to all themselves. They sang the old hymns our ather sang, with the spirit and r.uerstanding also.

On Tuesday night at 7-30 o' clock Miss Florrie Ligon, of Clarksville, Virginia, and Mr. William C. Moore were married in the parsonage of the First Baptist church by Rev C. J. Thompson. -The couple arrived here Tues day, and declared that they were not runaways at all. They just seemed bound to marry and thought it best to end things by coming to Durham. They stop ped at the Corcoran, where they secured supper, and upon mak ing a hunt for a minister, luckily met Mr. Thompson. The couple hurriedly rede to the parsonage, and the knot was tied. The young couple was quite a striking pair in looks, the bride a beautiful young lady, whose age was given as 25, and the groom is said to be 39 years old. It seems that the young lady was here on a visit to her sister, and her suitor called to see her, this causing the marriage to come about. This is about all that could be learned of their romance, and it was indeed a very happy pair that left on the westbound train Tuesday morn ing. Mr. Moure is a citizen of Curri tuck, Virginia, and is said to be a well-to-do and most popular young man. While in the city they impressed every one, with whom they came into contact, finite favorably, and here's to their future ha:pituss and joy.

The con vention was addressed by Mr. Parker of Greensboro, and dele? gates were appointed trf the State and Senatorial conventions , Rev. H. S. Bradshaw, pastor of the4 Presbyterian church of Hillsboro is assisting in a series of meetings at Bethel church in Guilford county this week. The state board of electors met at Raleigh last week, and ap inted the new Board of Electors for Orange county as follows: Mr. J. D. Webb, of Chapel Hill, and Messrs. A. J. Gordon and Joseph A. Harris, of Hillsboro. There will be a Sunday School picnic at Old Harmony school house in Orange county on Satur day, August 22th. This is sure to be a big time for all who take advantage of this, and all are in vited to attend. The State Farmers' Alliance is in session at the office Of the Al liance Headquarters, the Bar racks near Hillsboro, this week. On account of the heavy rains the County Institute, which wa3 held at the Barracks last week, was not well attended, there be ing only about fifty persons pre sent, however, they carried out their part of the programme. Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Murray, of Durham, are visiting Mr. Mur ray's parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Sharp, near Hillsboro. Mrs. E. Dimock, of Charlotte, arrived in Hillsboro last week to spend some time at her summer home near town. Went to Europe. Messrs Gilmer Siler and Louis Jaffa, Trinity students, spent a month or more in Europe, and are now in this county ready to enter Trinity when the next term opens. They chose the novel method of working their way over on a ship, and were successful. Mr. Siler was here Wednesday, and left for his home in the western part of the State, where he will visit rela tives. Mr. Jaffe remained over in Philadelphia, where he will visit a friend before coming to Durham. They report that the trip was very pleasant, and that they er. joyed the novelty of the idea cf working their way on a ship. For some years it has beep the custom among college boys to work their way over and back during the summer vacation, and during this trip the boys met quite a number of college boys from northern colleges doing the same thing they were doing. It wa? altogether a very pleasant trip, and the cost was no consi deration whatever. Dr. Julian A. Smith, of this city, is critically ill at the Watts hospital, where he was taken several days ago to undergo an operation. While Mr. Smith is in an extremely low condition, there are yet hopes of his recovery. Spencer Hopson Said to Hare Entered "V Home In Wake County. Spencer Hopson, a young white man, was arrested several days ago on the charge of vagrancy, but; further complications have developed, and he is now accused of theft. Mr. C V. Merritt, a Wake county man, says that Hopson broke into his house on Friday two weeks ago. . V From what Mr. Merritt has to say about the matter, it is evi dent that Hopson is the man. On the night of the robbery every member of the family was away from home, and the person who entered the house did so by breaking a window glass, and crawling through this , into his room. On their return to the house Mr. Merritt and his' family found the house all topsy-turvy, and discovered that the intruder had made off with $5, a valuable watch and chain, shoes, clothes, and ' other articles. Since" the robbery, however, Mr. Merritt has found several of the articles, among these being the watch; chain, and a razor. The people in whose possession they were found said that they bought them from Hopson, which fixes the crime upon the young fellow. Mr. Alex Merritt suspicioned the stealing from his son's home by Hopson, and swore out a war rant for his arrest on the charge of vagrancy. But when it be came evident that he was the guilty party, the vagrancy war rant was withdrawn, and he is being held until the Wake coun ty officers can take charge of him. THE FINEST HORSES IN THE WORLD. The Jobs Robinson Circus Leads All CIIicj Snows In Ownership cl These. If you are inclined to be a little horsey and love a well bred nag, you owe the John Robinson Big Circus a visit, for they have the finest collection of thoroughbred stock ever carried by a tented exhibition, and the outlay has been a generous one, judging from the number and quality. Every grade of horse is repre sented, from the satin-coated Arabian to the smallest of Shet land ponies, and the American stud book contains many names of racers and hunters, which find homes with this acknowledg ed world's oldest and richest tent ed show. The advance printing tells of their coming for two per formances on August 20th in Durham, and the usual capacity of business will be the order of the day, it is safe to predict.
