It would have been a blessing to the country if it had never assembled. Mr. J. G. Lunsford, of Person, is again connected with Messrs. Davis & Gregory, of the New Johnson Warehouse. Miss Ilattie Holcombe.one of the faci nating young ladie3 of Danville, Va., is visiting Airs. IVOrsey Jones, at the Irwin Piace. Our warehousemen have all been full of tobacco this week, and prices reigned from 10 to 15 per cent higher than last week. Mr. J. 1. Duke, President of the American Tobacco Company and Mr. B. N Duke, of Durham, were on the breaks Tuesday. A large number of our excellent far mers were in town on Tuesday, attending the immense tofineen breaks. All our Warehouses were full. Mr. Robt. Hester, of Adoniram, is now the possess ir of another farmer boy at home, and he is said to be exceedingly proud of the youngster. We learn t'lat Messrs. Ira Hart, Pat. P.ryan, John Wells and Harry Cheatham, in one neighborhood in Vance county, cur ed 90 barns of tobacco. Mr. W. A.

The Durham Globe of Wednesday announced that Mr. C. II. Lewellin had died in Oxford on Tuesday. Uncle "Lew'' is the livliest dead man we ever saw. He seems to be in the best of health, and has no idea of bidding farewell to this world for some time. Mr. R. I). Glenn, one of the most bril-li.-mt speakers in North Carolina, address ed the citizens of Oxford, Thursday night. His speech was brim full of good things and his array of the grand old party of fraud and corruption was of a most with ery character. If the breaks of the past few dajTs are a fare-sample of the tobacco crop it is a fact that people have certainly made a great mistake in saying that this crop is a line one. A large portion of the breaks are of a nondescript character, being course and rough. We have received a very handsome in vitation to the German, complimentary to the stockholders of the Oxfortl Land Im provement Company, to be given in the Centre Warehouse, October 10th. It will be given under the auspices of the Gluck lick German Club, of which Mr. John G. Hall is President. It will no doubt be a grand affair. X Ci It I.SS I O X A I. CA .HPAK, X. Speech of If on. A. II. A. William En thiiNiaNtic Reception. t Agreeable to appointment, on Monda', the Hon. A. H. A. Williams spoke to a large concourse of people in the Court House in Oxford. It had leen adver tised that he and Brower would jointty discuss the issues of the day, and people from all over the county were present. However, for reasons best known to himself, John M. Brower did not put in an appearance. We suppose he was more interested in obeying the commands of fat Tom Reed than in giving an account of his doings in Congress. Capt. Wil liams seemed to regret the absence of Mr. Brower. He said he did not desire to do his opponent any injustice in his absence, but took occasion, however, to review in a masterly manner the political short comings of the Republican party and then touching up Brower's course as one full of mischief and political trans gressions. His arraignment of the Repub lican party was full of cogent reasoning unanswerable facts and matchless denun ciation. We do not see how any one not. steeped in prejudice can listen to the able and eloquent speech of Capt. Williams and conscientiously vote the Republican ticket. He exposed in glittering language the iniquities of that party. He plainly demonstrated that it was a party of plun der and extravagance, that its career was hostile to the best interests of the country and subversive of constitutional liberty. His ventilation of the record of ihe party on the Blair Bill, the abolition of the In ternal Revenue and the Force Bill was at times sublimely eloquent. The party may well be proud of having a champion so able, fearless and unflinching. We are pleased to know that Capt. Williams has such a warn and cordial support at the hands hands of the people of Granville The manner in which his friends who love him so much in this county and the zeal with which they rally to his support are but auguries of the brilliant victory in store for him in November. At the close of Capt. Williams speech, C. P. Moore, the colored nominee for Congress was called upon, and was intro duced by E. W. Cannady, one of the edi tors of the independent colored paper the Oxford Times. Moore made a good speech in behalf of the cause he espoused He said the negroes had been gulled long enough by, the white Republican who only patted the negro on the shoulder when he wonted office. He said the time had come when his race had to think ana act for themselves. In the bitterest terms he denounced Brower and his hypocracy, stating that he felt it was his duty to champion the cause of his mislead and oppressed race. The philosophy and principles of his speech was good and we hope the colored people will, taking his advice, soon reach pure atmosphere of political liberty. AT .TONES' STORK. Although it rained all Wednesday a good number of voters were out expect ing to hear the discussion between Baldy Williams and John M. Brower, but poor Brer Brower could not muster up cour age enough to face the people of Gran ville in the presence of- Williams. He will no doubt come to Granville when he strikes Stokes and Surry, and reverse the order of things and allow Williams to canvass those counties alone. We are in formed that Brower will join Williams at Allensville, Person county. Baldy Williams made a fine speech and received enthusiastic cheers from good people of Tally Ho township. Moore, the colored candidate for Con gress, was on hand and Brower negroes said he should not speak, but he is game and could not be downed. He made his speech and created a good impression among the better class of colored people. A $25,000 Farm for sale, believed to be one of the best farms in the State. John A.

Llano, Tkxas, May 18, 1889. , Wm- Radam, Microbe Killer, Austin, Tex. : Dear Sir I believe your Microbe Killer a certain cure for rheumatism, tfp to a year ago I was down a great part of my time with rheumatism. I began taking your remedy, and after taking two gallons have never been troubled with it since but once. I bought a gallon then, and after taking a few doses it entirely disappeared. I have offered in several cases to pay for the Microbe Killer, provided it failed to cure rheumatism, but have never had to pay as yet, as it invariably did the work. Respectfully, Wm.

All Fillet! to Overflowing- Willi To- lmeeolriees Advanced From iO to 15 per Cent, on All tiradesThe Warehousemen in their Calory. Wednesday last, October 1st, wras the beginning of the tobacco year and a stream of wagons poured in from every direc tion as well as a large quantity being shipped over the railroads and every one of our mammoth Warehouses presented a lively scene. For hours you could hear nothing but the rumble of the trucks in the hands of expert men unloading to bacco. It was a big day in the history of Oxford and showed that our market was entering upon the new j'ear under the most favorable auspices and with a greatly increased trade. Our corps of bujrers are equal to any set in the State. The num ber has been largely increased, and they are prepared to handle more leaf tobacco than ever before in the history of the mar ket. They hold large orders for all grades and are determined to pay the highest prices for them, and farmers who sell to bacco in Oxford may reasonably expect to get higher prices than they can obtain on any other market. We congratulate them upon having in the very center of the tobacco growing section in the world just such a market as they need, and we say that the farmers of this part of the State cannot be beaten for raising fine to bacco in all the world. Our six warehouses are managed by the nest men in every particular whose skill as handlers of leaf tobacco, surrounded by corps of assistants that cannot be excelled anywhere, together with the splendid ac commodations they can ciler the farmers makes Oxford the crowning market of this section. We are amply supplied with money to pay for every pound of tobacco that may be brought to Oxford, so do not listen to those who are trying to gull you with such outrageous lies that we have not enough money in Oxford to pay for tobacco as an inducement to patronize other markets.

In the year of j our Lord Anno Domini. 1890, the Farmers; Alliance, having had great, success in run-f ning a Warehouse in Oxford since the? auspices of R. F. Knott, Esq., concluded! that they would build a big brick Wara.jp house on Main street in the center of thef town and soon those euterprising contrac tors, Messrs. Hunley Brothers, were seenjj marking off the dimensions and laying brick for a mammoth Alliance Warehouse J This mammoth brick structure has jus been completed and is an onament to Ox ford and an evidence of the faithfulness of the Messrs. Hundleys, in doing worl in a prompt and efficient manner. The people of Oxford are all proud o this Warehouse and it is the object o interest to all strangers visiting our towrj But to the grand opening sale ! It wa grand indeed ! Mr. R. F. Knott showe that he knew how to handle the farmers tobrcco in the most approval style. Wago;i load after wagon load of the new crop; rjf tobacco was spread out on the capaciob- floor and Mr. Luther Stark, the anstioi. eer, had his hands full, but was equal it the demands upon him. We noticed on the floor a live set ef buyers and a great many of Granvllte countys best farmers, most of whom wfere pecuniarily interested in the success' tf the Warehouse. It has been a proud flf-y for the, farmers and for all Interested n the tobacco trade. We wish every farpirr in the county could have been present;. The venerable James W. Lyon was the owner of the finest load of tobaceo sold o the floor. j The prospects of this Warehouse are in the highest degree in encouraging. Tjie offices are all neat and convently arririg ed, and the rooms up stairs will be f;ofn fortably fixed up for the use of farnies.

The Prohibition party in Durham conn ty has held a convention and put a full ticket in the iieJd in opposition to the Democratic, ticket.
