Our city fathers continue to improve the town. The latest is the Cuing of the well on the corner of College street and Commercial avenue. Another musical treat is in store for Oxford. The Boston Stars, who stand at the Lead of the profession, will be at the Opera House, Feb. 12th. We are sorry to learn that Mr. J. A. Taylor is suffering with an aggravated case of the grippe. In the name of a host of friends we wish him a ppeedy recov ery. Mr. C. R. lilackley, the old veteran auctioneer, is now wrestling with the la giippe. Mr. John Morris, manager of the Alliance Plug factor-, is conva lescing. We were mistaken last week in say ing that Mr. Joe Morris had purchased a farm of 800 acres near Chase City, Va., of Mr. J. T. Richards. Mr. Morris purchased a farm of 300 acres from Prof. T. W. Smith for $5,000. The Chase City Progress announces the death of Mr. J. P. Pritchard, the ex cellent railroad agent at that place. He had been a long sufferer from consump tion, and died in full fellowship with his Master. He was a brother of Rev. T. II Pritchard, of Wilmington, N. C. We had the pleasure of meeting on Luc; Liuiii nisi, r riuav , . anu .iurs. lj. M. Holt, of Chase City, Ya. Mr. Holt is a live newspaper man, and is doing a j good work for Chase City through the j columns of the rrogre. The good, peo ; pie of that town should give him a libe- ral patronage. j Mr. Rawls, one of the leading mei J chants of Durham, will soon open a branch store in Oxford, in llerndon j lilock, No. 4, on Commercial Avenue. We know Mr. Rawls well and he is looked upon as one of the most honorable and upright men in Durham. We welcome him among us and hope he will do a profitable business. The committee who had the letting of the contract for repairing and improv ing the sidewalk which crosses Mitchell's branch on Raleigh street, has awarded the same to Mr. Jessee Pitchford. AVe are gratilied to learn that a large number of our citizens took an interest in this mat ter and subscribed liberally in order that substantial repairs could be made to the sidewalk. Mr. J. S. Owen, Secretary of White Rock Alliance, died at his home near Hester's church on the 24th inst. Mr. Owen fell a victim to consumption and quietly passed away surrounded by his family and friends. lie was a most wor thy citizen and stood high in the estima tion of the people. We will publish on Friday resolutions of respect passed by White rok Alliance. Capt. W. A. Bobbitt, the excellent Captain of the Granville Grays, has ap pointed the following non-commissioned officers of the company: W. D. Lynch, Orderly Sergeant; G. W. Knott, 2nd Ser geant, C. D. Ray, 3rd Sergeant; F. P. tt.i i lit- o x -iir it n..i:u lgOU, oergeam; vv . ju. tuiil-.k, OXFOUD, N. C, TUESDAY IS row or at Washington. The Washington correspondent nf our esteemed cotemporary, the Reidsville Jieciew, writes : 'The Hon. 'Splacknuek'Brower, M. C, left for home today. lie has done a good week's work for his colored brethren, having secured a place in the Senate Fold id g Room for Willis Salmons, a place yet secured places for, Tom Powers, his committee clerk, being a Chatham man, and his female protege being an English woman. In line, he has o-iven nlaces nn- j ly to his intimate friends and relatives, j "The news comes from his district ! that in view of Tom Spttl's nnoitiva m. j flIS;l to Wnm1 n n!lnf1ill;lto fnv i o the opponents of Brower in his own par ty are concentrating upon Amis, of Gran- i ville." j We suppose the Amis above referred J to is Capt. Rufus Amis, a recent convert j to Republican principles, and a member j o!" the Legislature from this county. If ! we are to have a Republican Congress man from this district we would be glad to see Capt. Amis enjoy that honor, and we feel sure he would make an excellent representative tor liis party. But we opine that in case the valliant captain should succeed in getting the nomination that the eloquent and able "Baldy" Wil liams, who in all probability will be the Democratic nominee, will most assuredly defeat Capt. Amis, as badly as he was de feated for that foreign mission. We must and will concentrate upon the man that can carry this district from 1,000 to I, 500 majority, and that man is Capt. A. II . A. Williams. Superior Court. Judge Armfield opened court promptly Monday morning at 10 o'clock. The grand jury is composed of B. D. Howard, torman; Dock Peace, S. Dorsey. J. II. Morris, J. M. Ilobgood, E. G. Brummitt, J. W. Cash, J. O. Pitchford, O.F. Hughes, W. T. Patterson, J. W. Rhodes, L. S. Size more, T. G. Bullock, W. A. Owen, R. W. Stark, Uriah Cutts, N. G. Longmire and J. R. Overbey. The charge was replete with sound reason and the laws of the State were set forth in a concise form. He defended the jury system, and said it was the great bulwark of the liberties of the people. He charged the jury against trusts and called attention to the fermine of the cigarette trust. He told the jury that under the laws of the State this trust had no right to set apart separate markets for the purchase of tobacco, and the rep resentatives of this trust were liable to indictment and a fine of aot less than 10,000. A 3few Departure. The most excellent warehouse firm of Davis & Gregory have entered into a new feature of the warehouse business, and we predict that success will crown their efforts, and be the means of putting more money in the pockets of the farmers. These gentlemen have dispensed with all their drummers, as they considered them a source of annoyance to the farmers, and will in future let the high prices paid for tobacco on their warehouse floor be the winning card. This scheme reduces the expenses of running the warehouse, and will enable Messrs. Davis & Gregory to pay higher prices for tobacco than here tofore. Remember this fact and give them a trial, as they hold large orders for different qualities of tobacco that must be filled. A Happy Time. The great social event of the season took place at Armory Hall on Friday night last. The Glucklich German Club gave a complimentary dance to Mr. and Mrs. W. II. Hunt and Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Hunt. It is said by those who participa ted to have been the most brilliant affair of the kind ever held in Oxford, and the beautiful and charming girls arrayed in their exquisite toilets, and the young gentlemen who were tastefully dressed, presented a scene greatly admired by those who were fortunate enough to be present. A large number of ladies and gentlemen from Henderson, Richmond, Baltimore, and other places were present. For Dyspepsia and Liver Oomplaint you have a printedguarantee on every bottle of Shiloh's Vi taliizer . It never fails to cure. Davis. Thomas & Co. MORNING, JANUARY snvs from tiie cor XT V, Xeiglitorliool Xcws leathered by the I,eltters Correspondents. BEREA JOTTINOS. Mrs. I. N. Day, of Oxford, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Dr. John Sweaney, at Berea. Miss Nannie B. Currin, of Henderson, is visiting relatiyes near here. The Farmers' Alliance held a public meeting here on the 14th. They are down on the cigarette trust. When Greek meets Greek who will come off victor? The Masons hold their meetings here on the third Saturday in each month. They seem to be in a prosperous condi tion. The public school has been moved from the public house some half-a-mile distant to the Terry academy at Berea. We are sorry to learn of the loss, by fire, of the store of Mr. Win. Glenn, at Mt. Arie, N. C. We fear Mr. O. E. Mur ray, who held an interest with him, will suffer some loss. Mr. Murray is one of Berea's worthy young men and is all wool and a yard wide. One of our old widowers left here a few days ago all smiles and full of hope, to visit his fair enchantress in the mining section of Person. W7e wish him much success. Mr. R. L. Clarke seems to have gotten the combination on that rabbit foot. He has killed two more turkey s since your last information and he is still carrying the foot around in his pocket securely wrapped in a tobacco pouch. We learn that down east when a iove-sick swain starts out to galivanting around that the rabbit foot is an important part of his make-up. We are having the first snow of the season. It reminds us oi our boyhood days of pumpkin pie and hominy, and standing out in an old shed trapping snow birds, each bird looking as large as a tur key. Alas! what a change time and care will make in one's vision. L. FROM ADONIRAM. On yesterday n.oraing, at the residence of Mr. R. D. ilkerson, Mr. Matt Wil kerson was married to Miss Zoe Wilker son. The cold weather that we have had during the past week caught several of our farmers with their tobacco plants up and uncovered. On the 12th inst., on the plantation of Mr. G. B. Rosyter, Doc Wilkerson lost by fire his stable and all of his feed. Cause of fire unknown. Rev. Mr. Speight filled the pulpit at Mt. Creek church last Sabbath. He is the associate editor of the Biblical Ite corder, and was here in the interest of his paper, and added several new subscribers to his already large list. He preached a most excellent sermon. The tobacco or cigarette trust is the topic of conversation among the farmers. They feel very much depressed to think they will have to take less for their cut ters. A farmer told me a few days ago how the farmers could bust the trust, and they are determined to do it, even if they have to drink their coffee sweetened with sorghum molasses, wear cow hair pants and cotton and flax shirts, raise our own flour, meat and corn, live at home and board at the same house. We will not and shall not be imposed upon any longer. So say we all. Yours, Rex. lewis' crossing. We have had an unusual mild winter, consequently the farmers have put for ward every effort to advance the farming interest. A large quantity of plant Jand has been burned, and a good deal of work done to advance the farming interest. Wheat and oats are looking fine, and those that seeded oats in the fall will be well paid for their trouble, judging from present indications. As a general thing people around here are doing well. It is no uncommon thing for one of our neighbors to get thirty cents a pound for their last year's crop of tobacco; some get more than that. There will be a postofiice establif lied at this place, which will be of great con venience to the neighborhood. L. Murder in Franklin. A special to the News-Observer from Louisburg, says : Ransom E. Gill, a well-to-do farmer living about three miles from Franklinton, was murdered Tues day night. Mr. Gill was a juror in Supe rior Court, and after the jury was dis missed on Tuesday proceeded in his buff gy towards home. He passed Cliftons' store alone and was found dead with a bullet through his head near Ebenezer church, about six miles from here, on Wednesday. Robbery was not the ob ject of the murder, as some money in his pockets was untouched. 28, 1890. ABOUT HUE GOLDEN LEAF. THE DOlMGS OF OUR WAREHOUSE MEN, 10EALERS AND SELLERS.
