I Tobacco continues to surive in lar?;e ! qu.antilies t'rom irgini i ami the eastern counties. Mr. llatcheU, the wiiie awake editor of the lli'nilerso.'i Tom iliawk , was in Ox ford on Tuesday. : Rev. .1. 11. Hall has erected a neat : stable and luiiriry house at his residence j on Spring street. j Mr. 1. N. llohood, who lias been a ! suirerer for two weeks with the grippe, is able to be out at;:tin. - It is with much pleasure that we learn that .Mrs. S. XV. Cooper, who has been sick for some time, is improvin:r. Sheriff Rogers has had a neat fence erected around his lot occupied by Mr. K. P. Taylor, near the Ltaptist Church. AVe had the pleasure of meeling Mr. j T. II. lion, one of the progressive farm ers of Dutch ville, in town on Tuesday. A'e had the pleasure of meet in r Mr ; XV. K. Stem, one of Tally IIo's most rclia- hie farmer's, on the breaks Wednesday. j At the biir fire in Richmond a few days ago the Durham Fertilizer Company lost 10,000, which was covered by insur ance. Mr. A. E. Bobbin, of Wilton, sold a fine load of tobacco Wednesday at the lianner at an average of $41.50 for all grades. I Mr. Tom Ayeritt is still confined at ; home with rheumatism. His manv friends would be glad to know of his full restora I tion to health. Several members of the (Jranviile C rays having served five years, have re signed. They are now under the law ex empt from jury duty for life. The schedule on the Atlantic A: Dan ville railroad is so arranged as to make connection with the Oxford te Clarks ville road at Clarksville, Va. Oxford continues to gain high rank as a lirst class tobacco marhet. Our corps of buyers are equal to any in the State, and hold large orders for all grades. The Tarboro Southerner, which says that thousands of acres of tobacco will be raised in Edgecombe this year, is now booming a warehouse for the sale of the leaf. Mr. II. II. Tdaekley will leave to morrow, for Richmond, Va , which place will be his future home. He will lie con netted with Mr. Silas Shelbnrn, commis sion merchant. We regret to announce the death of Mrs. XV. O. Renn, in Fishing Creek town ship, which occurred on Sunday last, in the 71st year of her age. She was buried on Monday last. We are sorry to learn that Mr. John A. Waller, one of the leading citizens of the Knap of Reeds section, is seriously ill with pneumonia. XV p wish him a sneedv recovery. Mr. k. ii. lioogooa is now ouswy en- gaged in thoroughly renovating the Ex change Hotel. It is his purpose, with the able assistance of his good lady, to : keep a first-class house. j Henderson has granted .1. L. Ludlow, civil engineer, the franchise to build an extensive water work 8 system. The work is to begin in sixty djijs and the system is to include eight miles of pipe. Mrs. W. II. Smith has opeti' d a board ing house near the Oxford Female Semi nary, on Raleigh street, and all those in search of home comforts and good fare would do well to give Mrs. Smith a trial. A severe rain storm passed over Ox ford yesterday morning and it became so dark that the merchants had to light up their stores. The water came down in torrents accompanied by thunder and lightning. Mr. E. W. Jones, the excellent man ager of the Orphan Asylum Printing De partment, is turning out a splendid line of job work. He is a liistclafs printer, an 1 Dr. Dixon should congratulate himself on securing the services of so competent a gentleman to look after the interests' of that branch of the Orphan Asylum. It was our pleasure to meet on the breaks Tuesday, Messrs. XV. M..Moseley. R. .1. Woody and C. J. Currin, three thrift' farmers from Sassafras Fork town ship, 'who sold their tobacco at most satis factoiy prices. -Mr. I'riah Cutts and his good lad', of j Stovall, left on Monday for a visit to their two sons who reside in Henderson, Ky, They will also visit friends in Christian county before they return. We wish them a pleasant trip. .Messrs. Haithcock & Co. now have everything neatly arranged in their new quarters, and have added largely to their j stock of drugs, besides having on hand choice brands of cigars and a full line of French and plain candies. The stockholders of the (Jranviile County Farmers' Alliance Warehouse Company will have a meeting in Oxford, 1st Monday in March. It will be a meet ing of great importance and all stockhold ers are urged to be present. D. C. W iiite, President. (Jranviile boys generally come out ahead. The freshmen at Chapel J I ill awarded medals on the 22nd to the great est dude, ugliest man, etc. The cheeky man's medal was captured by our es teemed young friend, Mr. J. C. Riggs. It is a good tiling to have and he has brains with it. We publish to-day Sherman's last march, twenty-live years ago, from Sa vannah to GoMViro. We cannot vouch for its accuracy in detail, hut there is some interesting facts in it concerning what took pi ice in North Carolina down to the surrender of (Jen .1 hnson near Durham. Mr. A. N. Fuller came in from Rerea Tuesday and was on the breaks. We are pleased to b arn that ihe firm of Fuller Bros, enjoyed a y m! I'm.! trade and antic ipate a lhely trade for the spring. That section of the county is to be congratu lated on haviiwr such clever gentlemen to deal with. We learn that Saunders' Crossing, on the Durham Sc Northern railroad, is in a wretched condition, and is almost impass able. It is certainly the duty of the rail road company to put this crossing in good condition, and we advise the overseer of the road to report the fact to the railroad authorities. Vance Superior Court decided that the piece of track used by the Oxford & Henderson railroad to get down to the depot in Henderson, was the property of the Raleigh A: Gaston Railroad Company. The Richmond A: Danville will now have to seek another route to get down in the heart of town. On Monday evening one of the boys in the store of Mr. D. XV. Eakes. in at tempting to put out two lamps, they fell to the iloor, spilling the oil, which took tire. Mr. Fakes took in the situation at a glance and procured some blankets and smothered the Humes, without creating any alarm of lire. Mrs. F. J. Wood is now putting up a splendid preparation for piles, old sores and cuts, which is highly recommended by all who have used it. It is said to be a sure cure. We learn that Mrs. Wood is making preparations to put it up on a large scale. It will be placed on sale at all of our drug stores. Mr. O. O. White, the excellent tailor of Warrent.on, has decided to locate per manently in Oxford, and will open about the loth of March, a first-class tailoring establishment in the store next to the Puktjc Lrcnorcii office. Mrs. White will also open a millinery store in Oxford about the 1st of April. We learn from Mr. J. F. Cole, "presi dent of White Rock Alliance, that their storehouse near Hester's Church is com pleted. He informed us that Mr. A. P. Fleming;of Fleming Bros., Oxford, would open in it about the 1st or 10th of March, a lirst-class stock of general merchandise. We wish Mr. Fleming abundant success. The full board of trustees of the Baptist College will meet in Greensboro soon to settle the locating question. How is that ? Is it on account of the howl raised because of the unfair means res orted to by Raleigh to have it located in that city showing We say give every town a fair and there will be no more growling. We are very sorry to learn of the ex treme illness of Mr. Lawson Knott, broth er to Messrs. Fielding and Henry Knott, at his home near Hilliardston, Nash county. Mr. Henry Knott is now at his bedside administering to the wants of his alllicted brother. In behalf of a host of friends in his old home we wish him a speedy recovery. (Juite a number of Wake county far mers have found their way to the Oxford market and were delighted with the treat ment received at the hands of our ware housemen. Some of them had not been in Oxford but once or twice since the war. The following are the delegates elect ed by the Y. M . C. A. of Oxford, to attend the State Convention, which meets in (Joldsboro, Maich 1:5th: J. II. Bullock, B. S. Royster, C. J. Cooper, C. J. Gregory, J. C. Hundley, J. M. Morris, R. V. Minor and J. S. Brown. On Saturday last Enon and Provi dence Alliances consolidated, and will in future meet at Enon Academy. The con solidation of these two lodges now make it one of the strongest in the county, and good work for the interest of the farmers may now be expected from the lodge. I.omt His MJimI. The many friends of Mr. E. C. Coley, a prominent farmer of Dutchville, will be grieved to leavn that he is now without reason, having become almost a raving maniac. He became so violent on Sun day that his family and friends found it necessary to bind his hands in order that he might not do himself or his family bodily harm. This is a sad case indeed, the more so because, we learn, he was to have been married some time in March, to one of Dutchville's charming young ladies. Mr. Coley has been carried to the Asylum at Raleigh. He is a leading mem ber of Concord Baptist Church, and ranks among the best citizens of the county. lie was making preparations for a big crop of tobacco when this misfortune overtook him. His family have the deepest sympathy of his friends and ac quaintances. Twenty tons Plow castings, 500 plows, genuine Dixie, Watt, Farmers' Friend and Imperial turninar Plows and Malta double and single shovel Plows at Owen, Bar bour A; Smith. A Revenue Oflicer Shot. We learn from the Durham Sun that a fatal shooting affair occurred 0 or 8 miles from Hillsboro on the 25th, while a num ber of revenue officers were making a raid on a blockade still. Revenue Agent Kirkpatrick, who has charge of all the revenue forces in this State and a Demo cratic hold over on account of his effi ciency as an officer, had charge of the raiding party. When the officers made their raid upon the still they were met with a heavy fire. Kirkpatrick was shot in the face, putting out one eye. This shot was fired by a negro, who a few min utes later was shot and killed by Deputy Patterson. Another negro was also se verely wounded. Mr. Kirkpatrick was taken to Greensboro. The best Cooking Stoves made are sold by Owen, Barbour A: Smith. Be sure to call and examine them. Any style of vehicle made to order by Owen, Barbour As Smith. Thieves at Work. On Tuesday night some thieves forced an enterance through one of back win- dows of S.W.Mitchell Son's Hardware ! Store on Commercial Avenue. It is sup posed the first thing they went for was the cash draw as it was cut up badly in ! trying to get it open, but they found it empty as all the money had been taken j out on closing the store at night. They j helped themselves to knives and pistols j as a large number were missing. Mr. i William Thomas had a watch in the cash, j drawer which was carried off. When ! they took their depaiture they left an I empty tickler and a box of matches in the store. j For Sale Two good Farm Horses for I sale on easy terms . Apply to T. L. Can- no.hr Wiltrm "NT.

Winston will shortly have an elegant new ')0,000 county court house, to be built by issuing county bonds. The ques tion will be submitted to people shortly, and will pass without opposition. Some fertilizer companies have been applying for licenses, sending their checks under protest. In each case the checks have been returned, and then some of them came back again without protest. The Agricul tural Department is making a determined light on the license question, and is de terminded to shutout all companies which have entered the pool to test the consti. tutionality of the license tax. There is serious talk of removing Davis Military School to Goldsbough and't h matter is un- der consideration. Another ten miles of the Winston and Wilkesboro Raihoad has just been completed and turned over for business. This makes forty miles of road now completed. Concord folks are elated. A gold digging furore has invaded the town, and they are sinking shafts right in the streets And the out side world is guying them about the dan. ger of underminging the place. A Mr. McCarty, citizen of Thomasville, David son county, sold the Eureka mines, w ithin one mile of the town, for $105,000. Revenue officers J. S. Murrow and J. B Field have just returned from a raid among the moonshiners about Danbury Stokes county. They destroyed ten illicit stills. This is in a mountain section where numbers of men of this class have long defied the law. In the above skirm. ish the moonshiners showed light, and about thirty shots were exchanged. The officers came off unhurt. It is not known whether any of the fugitives were hurt or not. Two more of the persons in jured by the boiler explosion near Salis buryFriday night have died, making four dead in all. Charles Kimball died Sun day. 3Ir. Green, the storekeeper at the distillery where the explosion occurred, thought ibadly hurt, is expected to recover. A man named Walser, living in the western part of Davie county, went out in thef woods last Thursday morning and on his not appearing at home at the pro per time, search was instituted, and he was found dead in the forest. His death is thought to have been caused from apoplexy. Nearly 70,000 bushels of oysters were brought to Norfolk from the sounds of North Carolina during the month of January. Professor F. W. Simmons who -was formerly professor of geology at the University of North Carolina, and has lately held the chair of biology at Arkansas University, has accepted a simi lar position with larger pay, in the Uni versity of Texas. A Mr. Dates a resicjent of Cleveland county, on Saturday fell Jon a circular saw and was literally sawii to pieces. One arm and leg were cut 'off, and his stomach was sawed in two.i A force of hands were to-day started at work on the excavations for Raleigh's new Union depot and work will now be pushed foiward without interrup tion until the depot is completed. Re ports from New Berne state that the largest crowd is in attendance at the lish and oyster fair ever known in its history. Governor Fowle opened the fair. Thirty three men were imprisoned in Egypt Coal Mine last Thursday and there was an exciting time among the people of the community for a few hours.

Inl., writes: "Electric Bitters has done more for me than all other medicines com bided, for that bad feeling arising from Kidney and Liver trouble." John Leslie, farmer and stockman, of same place, says: "Find Electric Bitters to be the best Kidney and Liver medicine, made me feel like a new man " J. W. Gardner, hardware merchant, same town, says: Elejctric Bitters is just the thing for a man who is all run down and don't care whether he lives or dies; he found new strength go-jd appetite and felt just like he had a ne lease or life.

It will contain all analyses of fertilizers, sampled by the official inspectors, which have been finished up to date. The fertilizer season this year, for a variety of reasons, is an exceptionally late one. Not until the latter part of January, owing to late shipments, was it possible for the inspectors to find the brands on sale. And as the value of our whole fer tilizer inspection depends on the fertilizer samples being taken after the goods are shipped into the State and offered for sale, necessarily if the shipments are de layed, the analyses in consequence will be retarded. This bulletin contains, there fore, a limited number only of the brands licensed, but ther are published at this time with the desire of accomplishing as much good as possible, in giving to the farmers some analyses at least which may aid them in their purchases. Valuations for 18H0 have a different meaning from the values of previous years. Heretofore it has been attempted to give bv the commercial value, an ap proximation of ihe retail cost of the mixed fertilizer for cash, at the seaboard. That is, the price w hich a man at the seaboard ought to give for the complete fertilizer. This plan was to some extent unsatisfac tory, and gives place this year to the new system. The commercial value as given to a fertilizer this season (lbi0) means the actual retail cost for each of the ingredi ents in bags at the seaboard. It does not include the cost of mixing these ingredi ents, nor of branding the bags, nr of handling the mixed fertilizer, nor any ex penses contingent upon the management of an extensive fertilizer manufactory. A farmer when he buys a fertilizer this year, by glancing at the commercial valu ation, as given by the Experiment Station, can see what is the actual cash worth of the ingredients composing it at the sea board. For interior points, freight to those points from the seaboard must be added. The valuation for the three ingredients for this year by this system will be: For available phosphoric acid, five cents per pound; for ammonia, thirteen cents per pound; for potash, five cents per pound. This system and this valuation has bee adopted by the combined States of North Carolina, Virginia and Sonth Carolina. Bulletin 09 will be sent to each name on the mailing list of the Experiment Station. Those who are especially desir ous of getting this bulletin at once will do well to request the same by postal card ; as necessarily, with such an extensive mailing list, it must be some days before all the names can be supplied from it.
