Judge Armfield proves himself to be an excellent official and dispatclies busi ness in a prompt maimer, and is firm in his decisions. Mr. 1J. W. Lassiter, Jr., seems to be at home in filling the role of clerk, and is as accommodating and obliging to the people as any one possibly could be. He is the. right man in the right place. Sheriff Rogers, and his assistant Mr. H. W. Jones, are prompt in all their offi cial duties, and hence the court room is quiet a-.id orderly, and witnesses and jurymen are prompt in attendance upon the sessions of the court. The following cases have been dispos ed of : State vs. James Weaver, larceny; case declared off. State vs. Luther Roberts, affray; failing to appear judgment nisi entered and capias ordered. State vs. Moses Roberts, larceny and receiving; nolle pros with leave. State vs. Alvin Lyon, retailing; con victed at last term and judgement sus pended until this term; sentenced to two months in the county jail, with leave for county commissioners to hire him out or work him on public roads. State" vs. John Reams, forcible trespass; case dismissed at cost of the prosecution. State vs. Noah Land is, dispoing of mortgaged property; noile pros with leave. State vs. Zachariah Land is, cruelty to a mule; verdict of jury guilty.

State vs. Roger Yancy, larceny ; judg ment suspended upon payment of cost. State vs. Crawford Hester, forgery, verdict of guilty.

State vs. Robert Hammill, larceny, mistrial. State vs. Adilison Nance, disposing of mortgaged property; judgment sus pended upon payment of cost. William Yass, defendant in a case of affray and one of trespaf s,failed to appear and forfeited a cash deposit with the sheriff of fifty dollars. State vs. C. E.

As we go to press the special venire of 150 is being called in the Pritchard mur der case, which will probably consume the balance of the week. The Baptist College. Our people should now by all means put forth every effort to swell the amount for the Baptist College during the next few days, as the 12lh of February is near at hand. We ought and should by all means secure the location of this school in Oxford. The rehearsal and arrange ments for the grand concert for the pur pose of raising money to go towards securing the Baptist College are progress ing finely. We hope our citizens will take an abiding interest in this entertain ment and give our young people a tremendous house and let them have the exquisite pleasure of turning over $500 for the benefit of the college. Ifaril on Home Republicans. The Census Bureau at Washington has filled North Carolina with imported Re publicans to get up the recorded indebt edness of each county. The one that is looking after Granville hails from one of the Western States, Indiana of course We suppose the administration thought we had not a republican in this coun ty qualified to go over the books in the Register's office and find out the facts. It is only necessary to add that the ad ministration intends to ignore its party triends in (.Tranville as well as in the State. How does this suit you, Mr. Re publican ? Complimentary. The State Chronicle reports that Mr. W. II. Chambers, of Wake county, says that hard times are not hard times for him or other farmers who planted tobacco and made their own meat and bread. He has recently returned from a trip through Granville county, and he tells us that there the farmers are prosperous and happy. He noted a marked change for the better in the character of their dwellings, barns and stables, from those to be seen in the all .cotton section. SEWS FROJI THE COl'XTY.

Resolved 4. That we think that we can get a doctor that is fully competent and will attend to the people and will cost the poor down-trodden farmers and laboring classes less money. Resolved 5. That a copy of these reso lutions be sent to the Public Ledokk and the Progressive Farmer, for publication, and that the Farmers' Alliance and In dustrial Union are requested to take this matter into consideration.

Resolved, that to the family of our de ceased brother he has ever proved to be an exceedingly kind and most considerate sonand brother and that as we believe next to his religion and family in his affection came the Farmers Alliance, we believe that our Alliance never had or ever will have one who tried to adhere more closely to its true principles and that his death is a sad and serious loss to our Alliance, Resolved, that as a neighbor our broth er was all that we wish him to be, as a citizen and officer he was fair and im partial, and ab we all a& a christian he was a shining light.

She was in the last stages of consumption, told by physicians that she was incurable and could live only a short time; she weighed less than seventy pounds. On a piece of wrapping paper she read of Dr. King's New Discovery, and got a sample bottle ; it helped her, she bought a large bottle, it helped her more, bought another and grew better fast, continued its use and is now strong, healthy, rosy, plump, weighing 140 pounds.
