Thousands of troop from North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia. South Carolina, in fact from all over the South took part in the great honor to Robert E. Lee.

Old Granville has many true, honored and faithful heroes who followed the noble Lee.

Alston, Dem. Our Republican friends are loud in their complaints concerning the appoint ments, and say that Webb has gone back on Brower, as well as the pledge he made to the Republicans of the District, as will be seen from the following: o True copy This is to certify that if I am appointed as Supervisor of the Eleventh Census for the 4th DisUict of North Carolina that the Republicans in ecah county in my District shall have the control of the patronage, and that I will lend my influence to that party, this Dec. 10th, 1889. W. E. Webb. Witness: W. II. Pulley. This was only a little strategism exer cised by Mr. Webb to capture the office as well as to give the Democrats a good showing at some of the big money that is going the rounds. If every county in this District is as well represented with Dem ocrats as Granville, Quay will have a hard time counting the negro out of the census in this District. Our Republican friends have again been fooled. Brower has certainly distroyed his chances for renomination, and the gallant Baldy Wil liams will have the pleasure of beating some other one on that side of the house. ; All Ilie Iru-j-ji il of Oxford, to-wit : Davis, Thomas & Co., Furman & Hays, S.

It is believed that Star ling wished to jet possession of this prop erty also throuii his wife, and committed the murder in; kmler to do so. A suspi cious circumstances was the fact that within a day !qr two after the murder Starling callell i, lawyer aside and asked him if the property would not go to his wife since M is. Brown and the boy were both dead. Instead, however, the prop erty went toff Mr. Batton, who was the heir,ln the defith of his son. Batton went to live in a hq.iise on the estate and shortly after it was JlURNEjJ BY AN INCTNDIARY, whom everybcl'.y believed to be Starling.

One bullet ped through his head. He was found wi&i a rope around his neck, but was not hanged. He was tied tightly to a tree. Alihe lynchers were disguised in various kims ot costumes.
