The importance of having a railroad from Oxford to connect with the Durham fc Northern Railroad has been a subject of discussion among our citizens for some months. With this object in view one of the largest meeting of business men ever held in Oxford took place at the Opera House on Monday evening, for the pur. pose of taking steps to secure this con nection. Several speeches were made urging the importance of this connection, and the great advantage it would be to the busi ness of Oxford. It was fully demonstra ted that the Durham & Northern authori ties would meet with a warm welcome by our business men, and will get a good share of our patronage if they should de cide to extend their road to our town. A committee composed of Capt. A. W. Graham, Mayor L. G. Smith and W. A. Davis, Esq., were appointed to confer with President Robinson, of Seaboard Air Line Railroad, in regard to the construc tion of this road. For the cure of colds, coughs, and all derangements of the respiratory organs, no other medicine is so reliable as Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It relieves the asth matic and consumptive, even in advanced stages of disease, and has saved innumer able lives. Big stock Buggies and wagons and prices the lowest at Owen, Barbour & Smith. (ood Farming-. Mr. Joseph B. Parham, who lives aout three miles from Oxford, is recognized as one of Granville's most prosperous farmers, sold 1400 lbs. of tobacco on our market Tuesday for $300; 350 lbs, of this was as fine as could be raised anywhere ! and brought the handsome sum of $00 00 ! per hundred. This tobacco was raised on i acres of land that has been planted in ; tobacco 0 years in succession, and has i never failed to produce tobacco that sold i for less than $50 and $00 per hundred. One year Mr. Parham, with the assist- ance of two boys, raised 12,000 pounds of tobacco which sold for the neat sum of J $3,000. We are bound to exclaim hurrah ' for Joe Parham and all the noble farmers of Granville county ! j For Sale Cheap.

We learn that the mail contractor on the route from Stovt.il to Satterwhite and Adoniram failed last week to carry the mail and the citzens of that portion of Granville were deprived ot their mail. We consider this an outrage upon our people, and is one of the many instances of the bad management of the mails under the present administration. We are in formed that the contractor for this route lives in Missouri and sublets it, and will not pay enough to justify the faithful carrying out of the contract. Is there no remedy for this miserable state of affairs ? City Improvements. While Oxford is slowly and surely making internal improvements, the indi vidual citizens should not be backward in this particular. The surest way to im prove internally is to use pure fresh drugi which may be obtained at the same old place. Furman & Hays. Alter Hie -Wooiialiiiierw. We are informed that Deputy Collector Woody continues to make it warm for the moonshiners. He made a raid on the 20th in Person county and captured a wagon and team and one barrel of whis key. The man took leg bail, leaving be hind him a big white hat with his name painted on it in large letters. We are glad to learn that Mr. Woody is an effi cient officer and is making it warm for those who violate the internal revenue laws. Durham county has been added to this division which places more work on the Deputy Collector. 1 Full stock Buggies and Carts at Owen, ! Barbour & Smith. Took Out lor Roxboro. I We are informed that Roxboro has j commenced to boom in reality. Already j there are two large warehouses for the j sale of leaf tobacco going up besides a large number of other buildings.

The Durham Sun says it is contempla ted to build and equip in Durham in handsome style, a non-sectarian female university of high and bivad educational advantages, and one feature of the insti tution will be to provide for the education of the daughters of ex Confederate sol- diers who are not able to secure a higher ' education. Durham is thoroughly in earnest in regard to educational matters. See the Disc Harrows at Owen,Barbour & Smith. Tlie I-atie ! Are most cordially invited to attend the grand Millinery opening at A.

The Alliance was in session all day Sat urday. The recent rains have had a tendency to block farming operations temporarily. Sundays seem to be the special blowing days in March. Our farmers are anxiously watching for the second crop of tobacco plants. Mr. Thomas Franklin and Miss Ella Gill were married un the lath inst. by B P. Thorpe, 4. P. Mr. Louis Thorpe and his newly made bride have i returned from a visit to rela tives in Raleigh. Messrs. f . Murry and R L. Clark have just returned from a trip in Nash county whfre thty spent several days hunting turnkeys deer and so on. We learn" the other day that one of our widows lias a bet with one of Oxford's widowers on their early manage and that one of Oxford's editors is to hold the stakes. Go it boys, we would certain ly appreciate a piece of the cake. Our farmers are buying their fertilizer for the corn crop. According to the al manac it is nearly time for planting. We hpo that the equinoctial winds wafted tlje la grippe to a point so remote that it will never again visit this beauti ful Soutll land. Mr. TIomas G. Dean is conducting a singing school at Trinity church near Berea. The people of this community are very fortunate in securing his services for he is one of the best instructors with whom we are acquainted. I see you are strongly in favor of Badly Williams for the nomination for Con gress. You are on the right track, as he is a man - of the people in the strictest sense of word, and can redeem the dis trict from radicalism. L. WILTON HAPPENINGS. Your correspondent has recovered from the grippe and ready for work. Farmers are busy plowing for corn and tobacco, but they need not be in haste about tobac co land as it will be a late crop. The frost and: cold weather killed all the plants and after the beds were resowned the last l;eavy rainfall washed out many of them, i Wheat looks very much damaged by frost antlinsects. A right full crop of oats hasjljeen sown. On thl 20th inst., a colored boy live years ohf was burned to death in a new : ground, vas dead when found all his I clothing 4-ere burned except the collar. j Esquire Lyon committed a colored boy 10 years old to jail for non payment of fine and costs for striking with a rock a ; little white girl aged 0 years. The negroes who have gone to Missis sippi are dying, as letters have been re ceived in this section, by relatives of deceased, Wilteja can now boast of a smilversmith and iewseilers shop.

Your correspondent received a letter from an Alliance in Kansas en quiring how we managed our warehouse for th sale of tobacco stating that the Alliane there wished to establish a grain wareh use.
