The Oxford Land Improvement Com pany has a capital stock of $150,000,and has secured 000 acres of land near Oxford. The Magistrates of the county will meet in Oxford first Mondny in June. At which time they will elect a new Board of County Commissioners. Messrs. J. P. Beck, S. J. Currin, Wm. Hunt, J. J. Davis, S. D. Bragg, R. W. Hobgood, C. C. Wheeler, and J. P.

W. I., Henry and W. A. Wilker son, of Oxford, which sad event occurred on Tuesday. The sympathies of a host of friends go out to this bereaved family. There is sound sense in the following, from the Farmers' Alliance, of Chatta nooga, Tenn. It says: The farmers and retail merchant's interests are indent: cally the same, therefore no retail man can afford to fight the alliance movement, neither can thejalliance afford to fight the retail men. When they get to understand each other thoroughly, things will be dif ferent, and they can work together for the best interests of each other. Wm. Deering's Mowers, Reapers and Ciqders for sale by J. F. Edwards, Tlie Execution of Jorden lriteharl. Sheriff Roger's has received from Gov.

The death of this lady a few days ago at the home of Judge Clark in Raleigh, her son in-law, has awakened the sympa thy of many in this community who knew her personally and admired her for her many attractive and lovable traits of character. The sympathy of our people too of all classes goes out for her son Mr. A. W. Graham of Oxford. Mrs. Graham was the widow of the late Gov. Graham, one of the greatest men North Carolina has ever produced, who was not only Governor, Senator and Sec retary of the Navy but was at one time so distinguished in the eyes of the nation that he was the candidate of the Whig party for Vice President of the United States. The death of Mrs. Gov. Graham creates a void difficult to fill. Xew Board of Town Commissioners. The triumphant election of the new Board of Town Commissioners is a hearty endorsement of their administration by the people. It is a body that manages the affairs of the town with economy and efficiency and thin has power to be very popular. Our people almost without a single exception are tired of high taxes and favor retrenchment and reform of government. Viewed as a democratic triumph it is also pleasing to us. Mr. F. B. Hays, has been chosen clerk and W. S. Parker Treasurer. J. A. Renn has again been made chief of Police, and I. H. Stegall assistant in place of Nat II. Whitfield, the latter having been ap pointed Deputy Sheriff. W. T. Lyon will continue as tax collec tor. Davis .School. The Davis School will be moved from La Grange, N. C, to Winston-Salem.

Many sections of the United States are repre sented every year. The new location of School is not surpassed any where. It is in a beautiful country famous for health. This School has long since been re'cog nized as the best of the kind in the south and will continue to grow in populai favor. The Burial of Abe Venablc. Despite of the threatening character of the weather a large number of persons attended the Funeral Services over the remains of the late Abraham Venable, which occurred at the house of his father on Tuesday morning and were conducted by Rey. Joseph Rennie, of the Presbyteri an Church, and lit v. J. S. Hardaway, of the Baptist Church, while these solemn rites were being conducted it was impos sible for many in the audience to repress j the involuntary tear. Indeed it was an occasion of great sadness for one who had so many warm and devoted friends to be cut down in the 35th year of his age, just tlie period in life when the vigor of man hood is supposed to be in its prime. The news of his death when it readied South Boston Va., his adopted home, produced a deep gloom over that entire community and several of his triends from there and also from Danville, Va., came to partici pate and mourn with his friends and rel atives on the occasion of his burial Peace to his ashes.

As they passed the park there were five hundrt-d grown ladies and girls whose fair hands held the ropes. Little tots were carried out into the streets in their mothers, arms and their small hands placed upon the ropes.

C, there was a large crowd of colored people at the depot as the train pulled in. An old bald-headed Uncle Jerry had his head, out of the coach set apart for colored passengers and a man on the platform recognized him and called out: "Hello, Misser Stivers, is dat yo'?" The old man looked straight at him, but made no response. "Hello, Misser Stivers!" No response. "Say, Misser Stivers, has yo' losted yo' hearing?" persisted the man, as he drew nearer. "Boy, was yo' talkin' to me?" sternly demanded the old man. "Sartain, what's de matter?" "Boy, does yo' want anything of me?" "Why, how 37o'talk! Reckon yo' has got de hoondoo." "Does yo' evidently reckon yo' knows me?" "Of co'se I knows yo'. Yo' is ole man Stivers." 'When did yo' know me?" "Last fall. Why, I dun wTorked wid yo' fur three months."

An exchange very truly says: The local paper may cost a few cents more at the close of the year than the city pa pers, but it is the local paper that adver tises your business, your schools and your churches.
