Hester, died in Oxford on Thursday the 21st, at the residence of Col. R. O. Gregory. He was the brother of the late M. H. Hester, and he and his brother were ever residents of the same household until the death of the former a few years ago. Mr. F. B. Hester never married and he and his brother carried on a farm con jointly for many 3'ears using everything jn common and participating equally in the privileges of the plantation without disagreement or discord. Both of them were gentlemen of gentle, pleasant man ners, and great kindness of nature. They lived in peace with the world, were kind neighbors, both of them being great ly esteemed by their acquaintances. The tie that bound them together in life was so strong and tender that in writing of the one the character of both naturally arises before the imagination. Mr. F. B Hester has lived considerabby beyond the period usually allowed to mortals, though for the past several years his health has been feeble, and for some time before his demise it was manifest to his friends the ravage of time was gradually but surely doing its work. He was a strict member of the Baptist church on whose service he attened until the i infirmaties of age rendered it impracti cable for him to do so. His life was quiet and blameless. His friendships were sincere and faithful. His faith in Christ was strong and his work was Godly. In his death another valuable link that binds this generation to the past is broken. He was 77 years old. Snatched From the Crave. In his testimonial attesting the virtues of Radam's Microbe Killer, Mr. M. C.

Republican Cofint ly Convention. ims convention met in Oxford on Oxford Saturday at 12 olock with Sheriff Rog n in the chair. H M. Wyche, colored, was elected secretary, and J. W. Brown, was elected assistant, with one vote against by one colored brother who said one sec retary was enough. While the committee on credential was out ex-Sheriff J,mes I Moore, of Franklin Co., was calletl and gave his old times brethren a few ld sentences when he ws:s before people of the county. He branched off on National politics and argued strong ly in favor of te Force Bill and said the law ought to b(j, passed and enforced if it had to be done jt the point of the buyonet, as he was in favor of every man being allowed to vote; He closed by saying that he was thankf ul for what the people of old Granville had done for him in the past, and if aftr they nominated a county ticket and needed his service he was ready to make speeches in every precinct in the county. P.M. Wychp, colored anew aspirant for political honors, was the next speaker and after telliri: the Convention the kind of men they Should nominate to fill the various offi'-ers came down and let them known that he was an aspirant for the nomination for the Legislature. He closed by saying that he was willing to trust the white leaders of the Republican party for two years more, and if they did not act fair the black Republicans would be in favor of the blackman and the black man would be in favor of ihimself. AY. H. Crew, Jr., colored was the next speaker who discussed the election law saying that ix was a hardship upon the colored people, as it was a verjT hard matter for them to be able to answer all the questious.and told those present to get themselves in the row and get down to studying their lessons as they had been placed where they had commenced twenty, five years ago. He also referred to the tax of $50,000 on the corporation of Oxford for water works, and urged the people if they did not want every thing they had sold for taxes to vote against ft. AAThen the committee on credentials made their report they had stricken off one delegate each from North and South Oxford, which had been duly elected ac cording to the plan of organization, while the other townships had only elected three from each precinct, the trouble commenc ed. Squire Hughes protested against it, saying because the other townships had made a mistake it was no reason that Oxford be reduce to three delegates. AV. H. Crews also protested in very strong language, saying that the Repub licans of Oxford cast nine hundred votes, ar..l would m;t submit quiety to such treat ment. One jcolored brother arose to a point of onler, when Crews yelled out, "jour pint i no count here," and objector was squelchid. It was evident to a close observer that there is an. influence being brought to bear on the county colored people to kill every move made hy the colored people of Oxford, who are composed of as intelli gent men of their race as can be found in the State. ; Capt. Rufus Amis, figured conspicuously in the Convention being a delegate from Oak Hill, nd report has it that he is j seeking the- Republican nomination for Clerk of the. Superior Court. After a long and tedious session the Conventions finally elected Messrs. R. Amis, R. P. Hughes, and L P. AVorthan and P.J. Cook, delegates to the State Convention. Col. Rogers who presided was verily the embodiment of patience and took things quietly, looking as if though he could sit and listen as long as the delegates would talk, if it was all day and night. One of the delegates took his stand and moved ihat the Convention adjourn, but Col. Rogers did not seem to hear him. Another delegate said ' dot moshen aint wurth a chinquepin, try him agin." He re peated the motion several times, finally the Colonel arose with great dignity and con cluded that everybody had about un loaded all they had come to say and put the motion to adjourn. Col.
