The Oxford Female Seminary con tinue daily to add to their already large number of pupils. We are on a quiet substantial move in Oxford. On Friday over $20,000 worth of property changed hands. Mr. John G. Hall, who has been spending some time in Western North Carolina, returned on Saturday. Rev. J. T. Harris occupied the pulpit of the Methodist church Sunday morning, and preached a splendid sermon, "We are very glad to see in Oxford Mr Oscar Hicks, of Athens, Ga , who is on a visit to his mother, Mrs. E. H. Hicks. The reason women are never elders in a church is that the average woman never even gets old, much less elder. Misa Royster, one of the belles of Sto vall, who has been spending some time with Miss Carrie Haithcock, has returned home. Miss Roxie Suit and Miss Kate Field, of Dutchville, were in Oxford for a few days last week and some of our boys were happy. Mr. Spotwood Burwell, was in Oxford Saturday. He informed us that he had a fine barn of tobacco to go up in smoke Friday night. Mr. Cornelius Parham, who has been cultivating tobacco in Northampton coun ty with remarkable success, is on a visit to his famil" in Oxford. He wanted the earth in his early life, He sought it long and fast. But like us all he had to put up With six feet at the last. Our venerable and highly esteemed countyrnan, Mr. Moses Dean, who has been seriously ill for several da3Ts, we are gratified to learn is improving. Misses Nora Hampton, and Ella Carrington, of Durham county, are board ing with Mr. J. D. Brooks and going to school at the Female Seminary. The Farmers' Alliance of the Dabney section will have a grand pic nic on next Friday. Good speeches and something good to eat will be the order of the day. The origin of a good man' strikes is citainly mysterious, but one that seems to defy all attempt at unraveling is who was the man that struck Billy Patterson ? The Land Improvement Company and the Panacea Springs compan' have had neat and attractive signs put up at their respective offices at the Bank build ing. Rev. Dr. J. J. Lafferty, Editor of the Richmond Christian Advocate, will de liver a Lecture at the Opera House Oct 3 for the benefit of the Oxford Station par sonage. The Granville Gray's Cornet Band has been organized in Oxford, and the in struments ordered. It is composed of splendid material and in the near future we will no doubt have one of the best bands in the State. Mr. W. S. Nelson.who is now engaged in teaching the Band at Stem's will take charge of the boys The subscription Books of the Land Improvement Company have closed with all the stock taken. We congratulate them upon the success of the grand en terprise. Mrs. J.T. Harris and children arrived Friday and will in future make their home with us. In the name of the people of Oxford we extend a cordial and hearty welcome. Mr. Owen Davis, a prominent ware houseman of Henderson, and Miss Ellie W. Young, one of the prepossing young ladies of that town, were married on Wednesday last. Mr. A. H. ditcher has returned from Eastern Carolina and is now moving around lively among our farmers in the interest of that trustworthy firm of Bul lock & Mitchell. The Republican County Convention will meet in Oxford on Tuesday, Oct. 7th. Then the fun will hetdn. Now let the Democratic Executive wake up and get down to business. The New Alliance Warehouse will open about the first of October with a grand sale. Hurrah for the farmers of Granville and may they continue to pros per and be happy! Let us have music, and from-a band at that. It is true it will not be of a har moneous nature at first, but we hope our citizens will aid the boys all they can in this stroke of enterprise. We have received a copy of the South Boston News, 16 column paper. It is neatly gotten up and will be a great leaver in the prosperit' of that wide awake town. We hope it will receive a liberal patron age. Good old Granville tobacco is coming in and you bet it brings good prices. It always takes the lead over all other to baccos as it possesses qualities that cannot be found in any other tobacco on the globe. One of our clever merchants, Mr. E. T. Rawlins, who has been North buying his fall and winter stock of goods, return ed on Saturday. He will let you hear from him through the columns of the Public Lkdgek . Another Big Land Compan' is being formed in Durham. It is evident that the business men of that town are deter mined to push Durham for all it is worth this year, and is bound to succeed if push, energy and pluck means anything. In a recent issue we stated that Capt. Williams and Brower would speak at Buchanans on Tuesday, the 2nd day of October. This was an error. The 2nd day of October falling on Thursday, the speaking will take place on that day. Baldy Williams has bought a fast horse to take him around the campaign. He is a wheelhorse himself and will cer tainly distance Brower by 1,000 majority in the race on the first Tuesday in No vember. Wake up boys and get to work. Mr. Webster, of the Reidsville Week ly says that Baldy Williams will carry six out of the eight counties in this district. We feel sure he will beat Brower, and the Democrats are pleased to have the aid of Brother Webster in shelving the corrupt Johnny Brower, the most corrupt man that ever sent to Washington from the old North State. Mr. J. F. Cole, one of the nominees for the Legislature, called to see us on Saturda'. He has had a heavy campaign for 6 or 7 weeks with tobacco, and got the best of it. He is now awaiting the call of Executive Committee to enter the politi cal fight against a partr that is bringing so much depression upon the down trodden farmers, by protecting the monopolies of country . We were in error when we stated that Mr. S. L. Adams was agent for the New York Life Insurance Coinpan3T, as he re signed as district agent for that Company in June, to go into other business, but on the death of Mr. Abe Venable, he was olf ered the district agency of the Washington Life Insurance Company, of New York and accepted. Mr. Adams is an accom plished gentleman and the Company is to be congratulated on securing his services. For Buggies, Carriages, Carts or Wag ons, see Owen, Barbour & Smith's stock before you buy.

A General Epitome of Recent Occur rences Around and About I'm, From the Mountains to the Sea, as Culled from our .State Iaers. The tax returns of Charlotte township show an increase of $030,000.

A train hand was caught between two cars at Rocky Mount and mashed to death. The railroad from Wilmington has been built to the Orslow line. It will go to Newbern. A negro named .Reece Bird was fatally shot near Silver Springs by Jim Castor, another negro. Mr. George L. Robinson had his arm torn off by a gin at Wadesboro, and died in a few minutes. There are rumors in the air of the early extension of the Danville & New River railroad from Stuart to Mt. Airy. John W.

The brown sandstone being used in the construction of the government building at Asheville is from Wadesboro, Anson county. Governor Fowle has issued a letter ap pealing for money to mark the graves of the Confederate dead of North Carolina at Fredericksburg. The directors of Greensboro Female College have decided to equip the build ing with improved heating, lighting and laundry appliances. The work of demolishing the old Pres byterian church at Greensboro has begun, and a number of interesting relics of past generations were found in the corner stone. The free distribution of mail will go into effect in this city on the first of No vember, provided, of course, that the city fathers make the necessary arrangements for the operation of the system. Durham Globe. North Carolina has wild pasturage enough to maintain well 5,000,000 sheep. If our Legislature wTould pass a proper dog law for the protection of sheep this industry would bring millions of dollars to our people. Toisnot Home. The Oxford & Clarksville passenger train from Richmond ran over and in stantly killed a white man named Carpen ter, about ten miles from Raleigh Frid.vy. He was seen to step upon the track when the engine was within twenty feet of him, and notwithstanding the whistle was blown, he did not heed it, and was struck bj' the engine which was going at full speed. He was terribly mangled and his head was crushed into pulp. He was en gaged as a cotton-picker near where he was killed, and is supposed to have been deaf. Boils, pimples, and skin diseases of all ! kinds speedily disappear when the blood is purified by the use of Ayer's Sarsapa rilla. It has no equal as a tonic alterative, the results being immediate and satisfac tory. Ask your druggist for it, and take no other. Progress in Preparation. The vast amount of work, necessary in the preparation for the State Fair is now under sjTstematic progress. Men are out on all railroads to advertise the Fair in every important town. Banners showing the date Oct. 18th to 18th are displaj'ed. Low rate of travel are secured ; a second premium list is out; a large race pro gramme is prepared a list of popular and eloquent speakers prepared, and a very large variety of entertainments of a high order provided. Amusement, fun enter tainment, and instruction are all provided for. Merit Wins. We desire to say to our citizens, that for years we have been selling Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Dr. King's New Life Pills, Bucklen's Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have- never handled remedies that sell as well, or that have given such universal satisfaction. We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to refund the purchase price, if satisfactory results do not follow their use. These remedies have won their great popularity purely on their merits. J. w. Halt., Druggist. Oxford's HooHtiiig- Tobacco market. Oxford is going right along to the front as a tobacco market. The trade on this great staple is growing faster than any market in the. State. Th tobacco is pouring in from every direction. Farmers who hardly knew Ox ford a few years ago now find Oxford the livliest and best market in which to sell. Our warehouses are now iu the hands of square and straightforward business men, young, energetic and pushing. They can get all the money they want and they pay the verj' highest market prices. Indeed Oxford is beating the record and her streets are alive wit1! the solid farmers who wear smiling countenances and say Oxford is a first-class market. Our people all rejoice to see the great increase in the quantity of tobacco Oxford is now handling and handling so well. Bullock & Mitchell are making farmers happy every day. The'- are the equals of any warehousemen of any market, and always get; their patrons full value for their tobacco. The Farmers' Alliance Warehouse, under the managment of R. F. Knott, is still doing a mammoth business. R. F. Knott is a self made man and he is indus trious and faithful. The popularity of the Alliance Warehouse is much due to his good sense and integrity. The big warehouse firm of Davis & Gregory are reaching out all over the country and their reputation extends to other States. The tobacco sold on their floor is sure to command the highest mar ket price. Their influence is all the time widening and their popularity is phenomi n.il. Such a firm keeps up with the growth and importance of Oxford. The' have lately acquired more room to meet the demands of their increased trade. Hunt, Cooper & Co., is a new but active and influential company who will run the Meadows Warehouse for all it is worth. They are Tiberal, accommodating and cor rect in their dealings. Their attention to business and desire to please will secure for them a large share of public patron age. The members of this firm are all favorably known to the trade. They will do a largo share of business. The M inor Warehouse will be run by several of the most experienced ware housemen in the State, men who will see that the high reputation of the Oxford to bacco market is fully maintained. The warehouse will be run with an enterprise worthy of so large and commodious a structure, Farmers patronizing this warehouse will find their interest well guarded and receive full market value for their 'crop. lyspepsia Makes the lives of many people miserable, and often leads to self-destruction. We know of no remedy for dyspepsia more successful than Hood's Sarsaparilla. It acts gently, yet surely and efficiently, tones the stomach and other organs, removes the faint feeling, creates a good appetite, cures headache, and refreshes; the burdened mind. Give Hood'a Sarsaparilla a fair trial. It will do you good. j Safe lor Ksile. Hall's patent 11a- been in use only two jear.;. Will be soid for less than half value. A-pply to T. D. Crawford. Pure apple vinegar for sale, by the gal lon or barrel. Apply to L. E. Amis, Sto vall, N. O. Caution. Farmers! We need not say to the farmers that this is a heavy bodied crop of tobacco and very great precaution is absolutely nec essary to retain color until the weed can be put upon the market; ami the man that is so careless as to keep his tobacco hang in the barn, liable to come and go as the weather changes, it matters not how much color lie had when the tobacco was first cured, he will find, when he comes to market his tobacco, very much to his mortification that his color and profits have in a great measure been hurt. Suffice it to say; the crop of 1800 will be found to be most difficult matter to retain its color oft any crop we have handled for years; ijnd sadness and disappointment will be realized by many farmers and dealers, when it is too late to cure the evil. Now we hear young America rise up and say : What does he know about this ? Answer : Let experience teach you Alex. Walker in Durham Globe. A Sale Investment Is one which is guaranteed to bring you satisfactory results, or in case of failure a return of purchase price. On this safe plan you can buy from our advertised Druggist a bottle of Dr. King's New Dis covery for Consumption. It is guaranteed to bring relief in every case, when used for any affection of Throat, Lungs or Chest, such as Consumption, Inflamma tion of Lungs, Bronchitis, Asthma,Whoop ing Co ugh, Croup, etc.. etc. It is pleasant and agr&eable to tate, perfectly safe, and can always be depended upon.

HIGHEST MARKET PRICES- FOR YOUR TOBACCO ALWAYS !t JgELIEVING THAT AT THIS TIME it would be greatly against the interests of the farmers' to have a big special open ing sale, and looking specially after our customers' interests, as we will do at all times, we concluded to take charge of the Meadows on October 1st, 1890, without any special sale. We do not propose, to have any drum mers, but to do the work ourselves, so if we have any money to throw away to pay it out for tobacco on our floor. 23FWre respectfully solicit a share of your trade. 1 1 Li n t, Cooper& Co.
