William Lassiter, who was some time ago wrongly reported as "re tired on account of wounds" has arrived at his post of duty, says the Milford (Pa.,) Dispatch. All who have not listed their taxes would do well to call on S. V. Ellis, for the township and Mr. F. B. Hays for the corporation. Look out or you'will have to pay double tax. The Land and Improvement Com pany continues to accomplish great good for Oxford. They are offering every in ducement to secure factories of all kinds to locate in Oxford. Last Mouday Prof. G. A. Wauchope of Horner School, read a very interesting paper before the Teacher's Assembly at Morehead City on "English Etymology and the Forming of a Vocabulary." Mr. W. J.

If everything on his plantation grows at the same rate we will warrant he will have the best crop he ever had in his life.

Tt is located in the thriving city of Char lotte, and ever' advantage is offered for ! the thorough education of young ladies. The name of Dr. H. C.

Williams on Tues day at the installation of the officers of Masonic Lodge was a speech of surpass ing beauty and merit upon the objects and mission of masonry.

Hurrah for Wilson county and the Oxford Market? We stand unrivalled as a tobacco market and the very highest prices for the new crop will be forked over, and "don't you forget it." Mr. W. II. P. Jenkins, the most worthy Superintendent of Public Instruc tions, smiled in upon us on 'Tuesday. He was in a happy frame of mind, and was enthusiastic over the magnificent prospects for a most bountiful crop. He exclaimed, "undoubtedly the finest ever known in the country." Mr. Jenkins in forms us that the storm some 10 days ago blew down about 1000 trees on his plan tation. Hood's Sarsaparilla has the largest sale of any medicine before the public. Any honest druggist will confirm this state ment. Promotion of an Oxonian. It is a source of pleasure to us to chroni cle the promotion of any true North Car olinian, especially a citizen of Oxford, on true worth and ability. Mr. John W. Hays, Jr , who has been connected with the United States Geological Survey for several years has by his strict adherence to duty and ability as an engineer won the admiration of his superiors in office, and has been promoted to Chief of one of the Divisions. He has been assigned to duty in Colorado and Wyoming. We congratulate him upon his promo tionwith the wish that he may soon reach the highest position in the service. I NEWS ABOUT THE STATE. WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE WITHIN HER BORDERS. A General Epitome of Recent Occur rences Around and About lTs, From the Mountains to the Sea, as Culled from our .State Papers. Mrs. Minerva C. Caldwell died in Mor gan ton. Raleigh will have a big independence Day celebration. The State Dental Association is in ses sion at Wilmington. The Oak City Manufacturing Company made an assignment. J. G. Gann was dragged to death by his team in Stokes county. A "chewing gum" factory is to be estab lished at Southern Pines, Moore county. It is asserted that the Pennsylvania Central Railroad has purchased the Nor folk and Southean Railroad. The Wilmlngton,Onslow and EastCaro lina Railroad will be pushed on to Jack sonville as rapidly as possible.

Last year she made a bale of cotton, about thirty bushels of corn and seventy-five bushels of potatoes. Lightning struck a tree on the planta tion of J. J. Crump, in Chatham county, and a lot of negroes have dug great holes about the place trying to find the thunder-bolt that tore up the ground. The Lj'nchburg and Durham Railroad is completed within 18 miles of Durham. Since its completion to Roxboro the re ceipts have been more than doubled. Its earnings last month amounted to more than $10,000. The census of Edgecombe county shows a falling off of 200 negro children of school age, attributable to the exodus movement, which is supposed to indicate that between 5,000 and 6,000 negroes have left the county. A thirty-eight page mortgage was re corded at the register's office in Durham the past week. It was given by the Lynch burg and Durham railroad to the Mercan tile Trust Company of New York, and the amount is $3,000,000. A blast was made at the Patterson coal mine near Durhan, on the 19th, which revealed the value of the coal deposited there, as it had not been known before. From an almost imperceptible tracing, it has been found to be nearly a foot in thickness. The Nashville Argonaut says: The present indications is that the bulk of the tobacco in Nash will be cured during the month of July and some the latter part of June. Some farmers propose trying the experiment of turning out the sucker and raising the second crop. Last Tuesday, a few miles from New Berne, while Alonzo Miller was driving a yoke of oxen to a wagon, the team was struck by lightning from a passing thun der cloud, and both oxen killed instantly. There was a log on the wagon, and the driver received only a slight shock. The Teacher's Assembly at Morehead is already assuming immense proportions. There are now present between twelve and fifteen hundred, and there are representa tives from nearly every Southern State, and of course a large number from North Carolina, which is well represented. A cloud burst near Clayton, Johnson county, which has done much damage. Happily its effect was local. On level land when the storm ended the water was a foot deep, even covering the cotton. The railway was the boundary of the storm, on one side no rain falling and on j the other all the damage was done. The Greensboro Patriot says the enu meration in Guilford county is the "biggest farce of the age" and calls atten tion to one township which had no enu merator because the Democrat who had been appointed was removed, and the Republican appointed to take his place refused to take the books because he had no notification of his appointment. Panacea Water is making a wonderful fame. It stands unsurpassed for mineral. Try it. Sold at all of the Oxford Drug stores. Large stock of Iron Age Cultivators and Double Shovel Plows for sale by J, F.Edwards. "Jined Together At the last term pf the Superior Court Daniel Lyon and Martha Petti ford, both colored, were convicted on an indictment for fornication and adultery, and imprif oned in the county jail. On Tuesday last they were taken to the Sheriff's office, tcp be hired out to Mr. S. W. Mitchell, when it was suggested that they wanted to get married. The kind-hearted officers at once contributed a sufficient amount of luchre to procure the license, and one of them walked into the Register of Deeds' office and found Jeff Daniel working man fully in his efforts to keep cool. He had a fan, a bucket of ice water and some three or four handkerchiefs on his desk, and looked the embodiment of the last rose of summer wilting all alone." The officer said he wanted to get a license. The mere mention of license made Jeff muster up strength to again mop his brow, while a broad smile lit up his genial countenance as lie reached for his big black book and blanks thinking of the three big wheels lie should be able to put into an empty pocket, for, owing to the failure of Cupid 0 fulfil his part of the contract, Jeff had jtbout resolved to make an assignment of Jth at particular branch of his business, lie niiide out the license in good style, hefvvever, and as the danced around o the desk, his counte nance brightened o such a degiee as to be plainly seen wjfth the naked eye, even through the myriad beeds of perspiration that chased each other down his cheek and beneath the northern part of his shirt and while the ceremony was being per formed by 'Squii3 N. II. Whitfield, just across the corridfr in the Sheriff's office, Jeff had taken anither drink of ice-water and built a dam ui-ound Ins neck with his handkerchiefs anf. was braced back in a chair with his feel; as high up on the desk as he could get hetn, faintly whistling "I had Fifteen Dollars iu my Inside Pocket, Don't Yoli Know."
