Three years ago the State was shocked hy the terrible tragedy, when Walter IMngham, a deaf mute, killed his cousin, Miss Turlington, also a deaf mute, with' whom he was in love. The story was blood-curdling, and if the perpetrator had been caught he would have been openly lynched, but he successfully eluded the officers, and although traced to Cuba and ,"UU1 America, ne was never caught A ! reward of $400 was offered for htearresh !

Oxford had the champion delegation in attendance at Raleigh on Friday night, upon the visit, of Grant! Sire Underwood' of the I. O. (). F. lloxboro is coming to the front. A tobacco market will be established as soon as the Lynchburg & Durham railroad is completed to that town. Messrs. G. C. Wagstaff, E. C. Lyon and I. S. Roberts, all good farmers from near Five Forks, Va., had shipments of tobacco on our market Friday. Mr. Willie Hampton, who is putting up a house on Alexander Avenue for Mr. Thos. II. Jones, fell from the building on Fi idny, breaking two of his ribs. Fleming Bros, have opened up a full j stock ot general merchandise in the Alli- ance store at White Rock Lodge, some I two miles from Hester's Church. i I We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. j C M. Gordon, one of the promising i j young tobacco growers of Mecklenburg county, v a., on the breaks Friday. Durham is pushing the college busi ness with great energy and zeal, and will in all probability capture Trinity College. Pluck and energy is bound to win. Mr. G. II. Archbald, a prominent to 1 bacco dealer, of Montreal, Canada, was in Oxford on Thursday. He is making a ; tour of the tobacco markets of the State. i We are sorry to learn that Mr. Field ; ing Knott, one of our most substantial j farmers, is suffering with a severe attack of rheumatism. We wish him a speedy recovery. i Mr. S. J. Durham, son of Mrs Dr. B. F . Dixon, is announced as one of the de- ! 1 biters from the Columbian Literary S..ci ! ety of Trinity College, at the approaching ; crt.nmencement. Mr. A. T.

Female College ami Water V.'orKs. At a meeting of the Commonwealth Club on Friday night Mr. J. V. Hundley made an interesting talk about, the water work scheme which may prove practical, but we are still of the opinion that they cannot be established without becoming a burden to our people. The very best thing now to do is to turn our attention to establishing another tobacco factory, smoking or chewing, and building up of our female schools. The latter was most pointedly discussed by Rev. C. A. Jinkins ami should have the co-operation of every good citizen of town and county. Mr. R. W. Winston, who is ever watch ful to the best interest of our people, sug gested a plan by which something could be done to materially advance the interest of the Baptist Female College, and on ! motion of Mr. W. A. Davis, a committee J of five including Mr. Winston was ap- pointed to bring the matter before a spe I rial meeting of the club Monday night. isatl wood causes dyspepsia and pepsia reacts by causing bad blood, both go on, gt o ing worse, until whole system is The Cigarette Trust.

JSolicitor Bowers sent a bill of in dictmet against the suspected parties in the Manton lynching case, which oc curred -hortiy before the Lexington case. The result was the same as at Lexington, the grand jury having just reported that they failed to find a true bill. Ex Gov ernor Ujoiden's condition is reported as somewlik improved. At Rocky Mount a few lights ago, thieves entered the store of I Barnes & WiHiford, bv boring througlithe lloor with augurs, and stole two InnlJreu dollars in money and a large supply f provisions. The floor was in one fooof the ground, and it must have been neT-essary for the thieves to lie on their bavks to bore through. Mr. Van- derbiit, who has indeed purchased a fine plat at Asheville, on which he will erect splendid residences, has three hundred men at work on his "reservation," grad ing, filling up, trimming trees, laying out drives and walks, and converting it into a grand ami magnificent park. Vandeibllt'b palace will be on a high knoll, and will command a view of the country for miles around. It will be the most magnificent structure in the State. Very interest ing complications have aiisen betweei. the State and Federal authorities in con nection with the Kirkpatrick shooting case at Hillsboro. Judge Armfield or dered that the revenue fiicers should be brought before him at Hillsboro Thurs day.

We would welcome you with outstretched arms and the writer Vould be elated at the idea of havin' the honor of showing you around. We have beautiful scenery. It is worth a trio to stand on the hank of the river and see the sun set beneath the western horizon and to feel the damp and hush of night creep ing over the turbid water. It is fortunate that our LigMy esteemed citizens, E. K. Howard, R. S. Jones and a good many others have done something for our town, as the railroad and postollice authorities haven't done anything as yet ; but we have a promise of better things. We witnessed a laughable scene not long ago: A negro man went on the train to get seme manges aud it had got to run ning pretty fi;st beloie he could get off, and he fell heels tner head and stuck the latter in the mud. A horse was frightened by the train a few days ago and lan away, completely wrecking a buggy. We were glad to see our highly es teemed county men, Stephen Minor and Elijah Averitt on our streets lately. The latter wants to borrow a dollar and a half to open a wholesale store in this town.

There is much interest in Chat ham county's sensational murder case, hich is to cu.'minate on the 28th in the executh u of J. P.

Owing to the warm winter we have had the insects have been very numerous and have cause much damage to the fall sowing of oats, and we see some few pieces of wheat that have been damage,! by them, but March has come and brought with her some old fashioned winter days, which we hope will prove a murderer'to many of these little pests. A good many farmers tell me that the cold snap has killed their tobacco plants. This is a sad blow to many of them. We have had some few cases of la grippe in this neighborhood, but none have proved fatal. We hope Brer Grippe has left this section to return no more for he his proved himself an unwelcome vis itor in every family that lie has et called to see. We notice in your paper that you are continually reminding the people to keep their eyes open in regard to the Cutter Tobacco Trust, and I just want to say to you and those who are fighting the cutter trust that you may put the farmers of old Mecklenburg county down on 30111- list of warriors, for they are down on ail trusts, and especially the one mentioned above! Not only have the farmers of Mecklen burg county got their eyes on trusts and combines, but we have oi.. 'es on our Legislator and Congressmen, to see if they are still going to continue to lend their votes to uphold the said trusts and combines, all of which tend to oppress the farmer.
