The County Commissioners were in session Monday. Messrs. T. D. Wa'ler, G. P. Royster, W. N. Harris, T. J. Smith, and L. G. Smith were present. We will publish the proceedings in our next issue.

C TUESDAY The largest subscription ever takf n up in Oxford for church purposes took place at the Episcopal church Sunday. Alout $3,000 subscribed to build a new Church. The Vance Guards, Co. C, 3rd regi ment, have just held their regular annual election. Lieutenant Henry Perry was elected Captain, Lieut. Moss was promot ed to 1st Lieut , and R. J. Southerland 2nd Lieut. Mr. W. II. Royster and Mrs. M. II. Bagby were married April 4th at Hebron station, Va.. on Atlantic & Danville Rail road, by Squire Rufus Amis.

Bradsher, wife of Darcy W. Bradsher. She leaves a kind husband, six children and four brothers and many friends. There has been some 84 Farmers' Alliance organized in the State thus far this year. Let the noble work continue, as in "unity there is strength." Our far mers have been imposed upon long enough by trusts and combines of all sorts. A large number of our farmers are getting rather disheartened about tobacco plants, ns the insects have gotten under the cloths and are fast destroying them. We trust it is not as bad as supposed, and that our farmers will have an abundant supply of plants. A span of the L. & D. railroad bridge over Dan river, at South Boston, Va., was blown away Friday by the wind. A man was on the top of it at the time, and was blown about a hundred yards and dropped in the river. He was unhurt, and swam ashore safely. Durham GJobe. A Washington correspondent of the News & Observer says that Senator Vance will be re-elected if the Alliance does not prevent it. On behalf of the order we will say that the Alliance will never prevent Vance's election. While he is not elegible for membership, yet there is not a better Alliance man in the United States to day. The committee appointed to choose a site for the Baptist Female College will meet in Raleigh Wednesday for that pur pose. The members of the committee are Rev. Chas. E. Taylor, D. D., of Wake Forest, chairman; Rev. Dr. R. II. Marsh, of Oxford, Messrs. W. C. Petty, of Manly, and Messrs. W. G. Upchurch and N. B. Broughton, of Raleigh. It seems that candidates for mayor are found nearly on every corner. We learn that Messrs. S. V. Ellis. Manly B. Jones and W. F. Rogers all aspire to the honor of being Mayor of Oxford. We are satisfied that our people cannot do better than to re-elect present incumbent who is willing to serve the people for another year if they should see fit to renominate him. Mr D'Orsey Jones, who has been rec ognized for a long time as one of our most liberal tobacco buyers, leaves to-day for Danville, Va., with his family which will bp his future home. We regret to lose Mr. Jones, and the best wishes of the Piini rc T.i7rat?n as well as those of a lar- I ger circle of friends will follow him and X Ulil V --.-.- - his fiimilv in their return to their old home. A negro walked into the Register of Deeds office Friday afternoon and called on Major Lanier for license to be "jined" together. The accommodating clerk after asking the usual questions made out the llscense. Alout that time Rev. P. I. Devin walked in and his services were secured and were married before the ink was dry on the license, and they went on their way rejoicing. ! The Wilmington Review expresses a j good deal of truth in the following para- ! graph: ''Boyle goes free and 'Raleigh j wins again.' It was a great victory and a siernal triumph the City of Oaks. The ' perjured priest's oatli was of more force and effect than that of his outraged vie tim, a pure, virtuous girl, against whom there had never been a breath of detrac tion. Well, shame has no blush, and 'Raleigb wins again.' " We regret to chronicle the death of Mr. J. P. Adams, which occurred at his home in Dutchville township Sunday night. He was only sick four or five days witb some affection of the liver. Mr. Adams was one of our best citizens and was recognized as one of the best farmers of the county. He was a good man and greatlv beloved by his neighbors. He is the father of Mr. W. T. Adams, Presi dent of the Farmers' Alliance, and Mr. J. H. Adams. MORNING, APRIL 8, Tle Easier Services. On Sunday morning last St. Stephen's Church was crowded to overflowing with our citizens to participate in the Easter services. The chancel and altar was pro fusely decorated with ivey and flowers. On the wall back of the pulpit were there the following: "Hosanna to the son of David." "Christ is Risen To day." Rev. Woodson Walker preached a very plain, practical and convincing sermon from the text, "I am the Resurrection and the Life." The singing was exceedingly fine.which was rendered by some of the best talent in town. Mrs. R. W. Lassiter Jr, pre sided at the organ with her usual skill. The choir was composed of Mrs. S. W. Parker, Mrs. II. G. Cooper, Mrs. W. C. Reed, Misses Mollie Horner and Guyles, Messrs. W. C. Reed, John G. Hall, O. M. Smoot and Dr. J. E. Wyche. The offertory piece by Mrs. Parker and Messrs. Reed and Smoot was extremely beautiful. Sweet music and sweet flowers are never more beautiful than on Easter day, and their mission Is so abundantly filled with exquisite harmony, that the human senses are refined thereby. With those, in truth, who religious faith is be yond destruction, being embalmed as it were, with humility and love, the obser vance of Easter day is a peculiar pleasure.

Some fiend who is mean enough to com mit any deed in the annals of crime made an attempt to wreck the north bound freight train on Oxford & Clarksville Railroad last Wednesday night near Stem. When the train reached the trestle acioss Ledge of Rock Creek the engine struck some heavy timbers that had been placed there for the purpose of wrecking the train and probably killing all on board. Fortunately the plow of the engine caught the pieces in such a manner as carry them some distance before they were discover ed by the engineer, who stopped and re moved the obstructions. The engineers says that but for the fact of the timbers being caught as they were his whole train would have been thrown from the trestle. The escape was a narrow one, and the passengers, among whom was our honored townsman, Capt A. W. Graham, were exceedingly thank ful for their escape. The sneaking cur that did this act is worse than a murderer ten times over and if caught deserves to be pulled to pieces limb by limb, besides made to suffer all the agony that could be possible for a human being to suffer.

On Thursday a colored man by the name of James Allen met with a horrible death on the plantation of Mr. Fielding Knott. It seems that he was plowing a spirited mule some distance from the house and being instructed by Mr. Knott when he come to dinner to bring his bar- ( ness as he wanted to plow up a piece of . o-innnd to nlant ootatoes. When the bell ; f- ' - t lung for dinner Allen unhooked his mule from the plow and hung the trace-chains over the hames which formed a stirrup. When he attempted get on the mule with one foot in the chain the mule became frigatened and dashed off with poor Jim, who did not succeed in gaining his back, but caught his foot in the chains and the mule in his wild run completely beat his head and body almost to a jelly against stumps, &c. He was released from the chains as soon as possible and Mr. Knott did all he could for tne unrortunate man. The mule had done the work and after suffering for a few hours he died. This should be a warning to all who at tempt to ride a mule under such circum stances. The best Cooking Stoves made are sold by Owen, harbour Ac Smith. Be sure to call and examine them. Another Smoking Tobacco Factory. Our late postmaster, Mr. J. A. Taylor, and Mr. T. G. Taylor, have formed a co partnership and will establish a smoking tobacco factory in Oxford as soon as the necessary machinery arrives and a suita ble building is secured. These yonng men possess excellent business qualifica tion besides a full share of push and energy, and will no doubt succeed in es tablishing a good trade. They propose to manufacture the best grade of smoking tobacco. We hope they may succeed so well that some day they will rival the great Durham Bull. 1890. NEWS ABOUT THE STATE.

The (Hranville county Alliance, which is composed of a large number of repre sentatie farmers, held a long session in Oxfordnn Friday. The proceedings were of course secret, but we are informed that the most of tlie time was taken up in mak ing arrangements for the erection of the large Warehouse on the old hotel site. There are 28 Sub-Alliances in the coun ty. Two new ones have been established during the past quarter, Wolf Rock near the Person line and Red Hill near the Wake lne. While the growth of the Alli ance hris been steadily on the increase since ils organization the last quarter shows unusual gain in membership. Our Alliance people are fully abreast with the time and realize the necessity in co operation in every sense of the word, and we believe are ahead of any other county in the State in establishing enter prises of their own, which have thus far proved' a great success. Their plug fac- j tory and sales warehouse are both paying institution as the capital stock ot both have increased to supply the growing demand of trade.
