Our farmers continue to complain of the scarcity of tobacco plants. A full crop will not be planted. Mr. J. L. Adcock.one of the excellent magistrates of Brassfield township, paid us a pleasant call on Friday. From what we can gather from our to bacco farmer about two-thirds of a crop has been planted up to date. We are glad to learn that Mrs. J. C. Cooper, who has been quite sick for sev eral da s, is rapidly improving. Mr. E. T. York, of Brassfield, who was in town Friday, informed us that he had already set out 100,000 tobacco plants. We are pleased to learn that Mr. A.S. Davis, who has been very sick at the home of his mother near Stovall, is slow, ly improving. The Oxford Land & Improvement Company is an assured success. It is on the biggest boom of any enterprise ever started in the State. The Barbour Buggy Co., of South Boston, Va., has been incorporated with a capitol stock of $100,000 and it Is pro. posed to erect a mammoth factory. The residence of Mr. R.T.Smith, was the scene of a most delightful ice cream party on Friday night, which was higbly enjoyed by those who attended. "I'll drink no more, although I know I'm weaker than a cat or bird." And then he went and took a beer, To give him strength to keep his word Mr. D. T. Jackson, of the Creedmoor section, was in town yesterday and reports dry times, as they have had but little rain, and the farmers have been unable to set out tobacco. We were pleased to see in town Mon day Mr. J. C. Neal, who some months ago located in Nash county. He has tobacco with seven and eight leaves on his farm in that county. A called meeting of the stock holders of the Farmers Alliance tobacco company was held Monday in the office of the Secretary, and business of importance was transacted. A small fire occurred at the Orphan Asylum Thursday night. The little house used for bleeching the straw used for the manufacturing of Brooms was burned. The damage was small.

Clewell, Principal of Salem Fe male Academy, for an invitation to at tend the commencement exercises of that justly celebrated school May, COth to June 4th. Hon. Geo. W.

He had been af flicted for some time and about two weeks ago he went to Richmond and had an operation performed by Dr. MxGuire, from the effect of which he died. The ticket, the personal of which no one can at present forcast, unless all indi cations are at fault, will be a farmers' one. The farmers are taking more inter est in politics than ever before, and no prophet is required to predict that the primaries will be attended this j ear bet ter than ever before. Mr. I. N. Hobgood, the very efficient purchasing agent of White Rock Alliance has just finished delivering 133 tons of fertilizer to the members of the Alliance and did not make a mistake of a single bag.

In speaking of this novel called "1791, a story of San Domingo," the Fayette vill Observer says : "The piece de resis tance of Dr. Gilliam's literary feast Is an epitomized review of the question of Af rican slavery, presented very clearly to the mind of the reader in a conversation between two of the principal characters of the novel. "For the rest,the 'Story of San Domingo' is given in simple but graceful style, is sufficiently intricate in plot for uninterup ted interest throughout, and is enlivened by entertaining incident from beginning to end. The book should have a special interest to the people of Fayetteville, as its author is a native of the town." The scholarly editor of the Wilmington Mes senger, Dr. Kingsbury, adds that "Dr. Gilliam was born at Oxfoid. His father moved to Fayetteville after his birth. We knew Dr. Gilliam, the father, from our earliest recollection. He was born at Oxford, and was a brother of Judge Rob ert B. Gilliam, a name profoundly cher ished by this writer and many of the peo ple of Granville who knew him and held him in deserved and high esteem. Dr. Edward Gilliam has a worthy brother an old school n.ate of our's Rev. Robert B. Gilliam of the North Carolina, M. E. Church. His mother was Miss Belden of of Fayetteville. Dr. James T. Gilliam returned to Oxford where he died. Dr. .1. II. McAtieii's Opinion. I. consider Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy the finest blood purifier that is on the market to-day. J. 11. McAuen. CnARi-OTTE, N.

What a blessing it is to have reliable and efficient county officers, which can be more fully appreciated when we look back a few years and see how badly the finances of this county were managed, aud compare them with the present time. At that time if you held an order on the County Treasurer, you had to dispose of it at 25 or 50 per cent, less than its face value in order to get the money on it. We are led to these remarks because it was our good luck a few days ago to hold an order against the county, and walked down to the Bank of Oxford and present ed the same to Dr. II. C. Herndon, the present most worthy and efficient County Treasurer. It naturally made us feel good when we received every penny that the order called for, thereby largely in creasing our already enormous (?) account with the aforesaid bank, whereas the last time wre held such an order we sold it at a discount of 40 per cent. As the election is near at hand "would it not be just the thing for the very best in terest of the tax payers to induce the Dr. to accept the nomination for Treasurer? He rankj3 amcng the very best financiers in North Carolina, and would very mate rially aid in getting the finances of our county in a sound, health' condition. The entering wedge of a complaint that may prove fatal is often a slight coH, which a dose or two of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral might have cured at the com memcement. It wrould be well, therefore, to keep this remedy within reach at all times. First Class Female School. It is a pleasure to us to announce that Oxford will continue to keep in the front rank as a seat of learning for both girls and boys. Prof. N. Penick, of the Female College at Burkville, Va., has purchased the Female Seminary property and will consolidate the two schools, making it one of the largest Female schools in the j State. Owing to his extreme popularity ! as an educator and a gentleman of culture ! he will naturally bring a large patronage j with him from the Old Dominion. I Prof. Penick will refurnish the college ' and have everything in first-class order for the next session. Our people will extend him a hearty welcome and do all in their power to make it one of the most popular institution of learning for young ladies in North Carolina. Remarkable Rescne. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, 111., makes the statement that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs ; she was treat ed for a month by her family physician, but grew worse. He told her she was a 7iopele$s victim of consumption and that no medicine'could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herseit Denentea irom first dose. She continued its use and af- and welC now does her own house work and is as well as she ever was. Free trial bottles of this Great Discovery atJ. G. Hall's Drug Store, large bottles 50c. and $1.00. tci taniu .uvunvM, - UT THE STATE.
