Wg are more than happy to state that Mr. Fielding Knott who has been seri ously sick for some days is now improv ing. We join hands with the Day and urge the Commonwealth Club to come to gether and go to work for the interest of Oxford. We are informed that a leaf dealer of Danville, Va., contemplates locating in Oxford for the purpose of engaging In the leaf trade. We were pleased to see on the breaks Tuesday Capt. W. O. Bobbitt, who some time ago was badly hurt by being thrown from his horse. David B Hill has, been nominated for the United States Senate in New York. He would make a good President as he is a true Democrat. Look out! Wake upl or our town will be left out in the cold, if we do not get a "regular move" on us. A first-class hotel is of vital importance to the town. Some of "Pegleg" Williams' agents have been tryingto get some of our col ored people to leave and go South. They could not be fooled by any means. Steps nre being taken to develop the Titanium Mines near Oxford, the machi nery having been ordered. Orders are coming in for this valuable mineral. Rev. Mr. Bumpass, the splendid pas tor of the Oxford Methodist church, is nicely located in the new parsonage. He was most bountifully pounded on Tuesday evening. . It is said a gentleman from New York visited Oxford some days ago and was so pleased with our town that he in vested $1,000 in the West Oxford Land Company . Mr. Oscar Hicks, formerly of Oxford, was in a railroad accident near Athens, Ga., last Friday, and was badly bruised up, but we are glad to learn was not se riously Injured. We have added 31 new subscribers to our list this week. We are grateful to our farmer friends for the interest they manifest in the Public Ledger. Keep the ball in motion. There Is much sickness among mem bars of the Legislature, at least one fourth of then are on the ick list. The maladies are not of a serious nature, and consist mostly of "La Grippe" affection and colds. South Oxford is on a regular boom. It now has a Knitting Mill, the Modern Barn Co., Steam Saw Mill and a railroad just completed to the grounds. The next thing in order is the building of a large cotton factory. Senator Lucas is chairman of the Joint committee on magistrates. This com mittee will have to pass upon the mer its etc., of some 1,400 magistrates who are to be elected by the Legislature.

McSween, of Florence, S. C, one of the prosperous to bacco growers of that section. He sold a large shipment of tobacco on our market at very satisfactory prices. Our tobacco markot is lively. Large quanties are being sold daily and we are glad to see that price have stiffened up. Some of tlie buyers are buying largely, and medium grades are bringing highly satisfactory prices.

We learn that he is im proving and will be in his seat in a few days. Mr. R. I. Rogers, of Durham, was in Oxford on Tuesday and requests us to state that he will meet any one in Oxford who wishes to see him in regard to tomb stones on short notice. He expects to place a man in charge of his Oxford branch before a great while. The country still contains patriots. An individual who would hardly be tak en for Jay Gould anywhere wanted to form a whiskey trust with one of our saloon-keepers lately, and, though he didn't disclaim connection with any Eng lish syndicate, his suggestion was receive with scorn and a bungstarted. We are more than gratified to learn from Mr. W. Neal, one of the proprietors of the Baptist Female Seminary, that that splendid institution of learning is in a most flourishing condition. The num ber of pupils have greatly increased over last session. Parents can find no better school in ihe State in which to educate their daughters. The Farmers' Alliance portion of the Legislature is diligently busying itself with the railroad commission problem this week. The Alliance has taken the matter In hand entirely, and is holding caucuses on the matter nightly. The caucuses are secret, but it is understood that a bill is being slowly and careful ly formulated, and that it will be some time yet before it will be brought into the open Legislature. Capt. W. A. Bobbitt after 6 years faithful service as Captain of the Gran ville Grays has resigned. No man in the State has taken more interest in the State Guard than he has, besides making a gallant officer.

Gulick ap pointed drew up a set of resolutions ex pressive of their loss and full of high ap preciation of his noble service to the company. William Henry and Miss Juliar Crews, daughter of Mr. Thos.

James Gay officiating, he being a cousin of the bride Mr. Henry is the popular and hand some principal book keeper at the Duke Trbacco Factory. The bride is the charm ing daughter of Mr. Thomas C. Crews. The church was crowded with the many friends of the contracting parties. The couple boarded the westbound train in a special car. The happy pair will spend a season in the "Land of Flowers.

H'.Osbern; Com missary Sergt. W. C. Biggs. A Great Battle Is continually going on in the human system. The demon of impure blood strives to gain victory over the constitution, to ruin health, to drag victims to the grave. A good reliable medicine like Hood's Sarsaparilla is the weapon with which to defend one's self, drive the desperate enemy from the field, and re store peace and bodily health for many years. Try this peculiar medicine. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. THE MEEKLY FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 1891. WAS HE POISONED I THE WIFE'S STORY IN THE STRANGE PARKER CASE. She Tells the Story of Her Husband's Sudden Ietli-.Jultt e BoyZtin Grants Col. Rogers and Mrs. Parker Ball in the Sum of SlO.OOO Each. Durham Globe, ITth. The habeas corpus case In the superior court to day, is being heard. The testi mony of Mrs. W.'T. Parker, wife of the deceased white man, is as follows: THE WIFE'S STORY. My name is Cornelia Parker and I am the widow of W. T. Parker, deceased ; 1 was with him Wednesday and Thursday before his death on Friday; we lived in a house with two rooms on Mr. C. M. Rog ers' plantation, about twenty-two miles from Oxford ; my husband was Mr. Rog ers' foreman on the farm ; Mr. Rogers came to our house the Sunday before Mr. Parker's death on Friday and stayed in one room of the house ; on Wednesday Mr. Rogers sent my husband to Rochelle's bar, about three miles away, to get a quart of brandy to make egg-nog; when he came back he brought A QUART OP WHISKEY and a pint of brandy, and said he could not gat more brandy because that was the last drop in the barrel ; he put it on the bureau in Rogers' room ; he also brought back $50 that he had collected from Ro chelle, as rent for Mr. Rogers ; we did not make the egg nog on Wednesday be cause the coroner had an inquest on the plantation over a colored man; Thursday afternoon my husband and Mr. Rogers had a settlement, and after it was over my husband proposed that we all take a drink of the brandy ; my husband drank first and drank about three-fourths of a glass full; Mr. Rogers drank about a half glass and I drank between a teaspoon and a tablespoonful; I did not spit out what I drank and did not see Mr. Rogers spit out his; Mr. Rogers then got a LITTLE WHITE TICKLER out of his chest aud filled it with brandy and gave it to me; the bottle was easy to turn over and I poured it into a brown tickler and locked it up in the closet and put the key In my pocket; when Mr. Rog ers went to put the stopper in the bottle he noticed something like roots in the bottom and said he would never drink any more of it and I said I never would either; Mr. Parker said it was nothing but some doueh that Rochelle had been putting in it to make it go further ; the ROOTS WERE GREENISH with white streak in the middle; Mr. Rogers poured the brandy out in the cup and the longest pieces were taken out with a knife; Mr. Rogers then left and I thought he feared he would get sick and wanted to be near Dr. Emmet; afterward Mr. Parker drank some out of the cup and threw the rest on the ground, and said it tasted bitter like quinine; he went off to Mr. Woods' and returned about ten minutes after 4 o'clock; he went to Frank Elloson's that night but did not stay long; the brandy did not make Mr. Parker sick, but it made me; I told Ellen Danning, Frank Elloson and Mrs. Horton. about my sickness Thursday evening; my husband chided me for telling it saying that it would get all over the neighborhood ; Friday morning my husband got up and made a fire and asked me if I wanted a drink. I said yes, but 1 would not drink the brandy; can't say I suspected that IT WAS POISONED but it looked so filthy; my husband asked me for the closet key and said he would drink some, as he was not afraid; I knew he had enemies at Rochelle's he and my husband had a fuss Christmas eve night ; some one had reported Rochelle as a blockaderand he said my husband did it; my husband said he was not afraid, be cause he got the brandy from Mrs. Ro chelle ; I gave him the key to the closet, BUT BEGGED HIM not to drink it and so did my children ; he said he was going to give Brock Baily, a colored man, a drink also; I insisted that he should tell him what we had seen in the brandy, and got up and went to the door to see that he did it ; he told him and than he DRANK HALF OF IT and Brock drank the other half; I washed out the bottle and laid it on the chimney ; I broke the small white bottle on the 6th of January because I feared the children might get hold of it ; after drinking rn Friday morning Mr. Parker went out whistling, and came back soon and asked me again if the brandy tasted bitter to me, and said it was bitter as quinine to him', and said he felt afraid; he went out again, and soon ran back and kicked open the door and said the brandy was GOING TO KILL HIM. He asked for lard ; I got it but was so nervous I could not put it in his mouth ; some of the children tried to do so; he commenced gritting his teeth and had convulsions ; I ran to the door and gave the alarm ; Ellen Downing, Mr. Horton, Mrs. Horton and Frank Elloson came; he called me tQ him and said DDCDftDutBD0 GOOD-BYE DARLING, I am going to die; have me buried in the burying ground at my father's old place; he lived about half an hour after he d-ank the brandy ; the colored man diedjvery shortly afterwards ; Mr. Rogers said- Fri day that the brandy he drank Thm iday did not make him sick, my husband was a good, kind man; occasionally he w?uld drink a little too much; once he slapped me when he was drinking, but this was the only time he ever did so; Mr. Rogers liked him and paid him $5 a month more than he ever did any one else; Mr. Ropers came o the farm about once a week and BOARDED WITn US there; last spring we had some while strychnine in the house to kill crows and bad dogs, but it had all been given away or burned up; Mr. Rogers came back Fri day in response to a telegram. DR. J. M. HAYS SWORN. I am a practising physician in Oxford; saw the bodies after death and found every symptom of poisoning; I examined some of the contents of the stomach for strychnine and found it; examined some of the brandy in the bottle from which Parker drank Friday morning and FOUND STRYCHNINE. Examined sediment in wine glass from which all drank Thursday and found no poison; if there had been strychnine in the brandy from which all drank Thurs day evening it would have caused great sickness ; heard Mrs. Parker say that some one had killed hei husband and she would always have her opinion who did it; Professor Pegram, of Trinity College, has Mr. Parker's stomach for analysis; a telegram from him sajs he has found strychnine. A great many questions was asked Dr. Hays as to what would cause death, etc., but he INSISTED THAT STTYCHNINE caused the death of Parker and the col ored man. MR. DOC. HORTON SWORK. Was with Parker at the time of his death; his wife was crying and screaming and seemed greatly distressed; saw Rog ers when he came; he said it was awful awful. A. II. OVERTON SWORN. Lived near Parker in 1888; went to the house in July or September of that year to see Rogers on business, saw him IN MRS. PARKER'S ROOM with Mrs. Parker on his knee ; the chil dren were at the gate forty yards away; Rogers came to the door with camphor in his hand and said he had a terrible head ache ; asked me what I was laughing about ; have always found Mr. Rogers gentlemanly and polite. THEY ARE BAILED. The testimony was full of interest. The case ended at 3:45, Rogers and Mrs. Par ker being placed under bonds of $10,000 each for appearance at the next teim of Granville superior court. House Burned. The dwelling house of Mr. Robert S Daniel, of Knap of Reeds, wa3 burned on Sunday night of last week with all his crop of tobacco which was stored in the building. Mr. Daniel and family were not at home as they have removed to NW;h county and no one occupied the house. The prevailing opinion in the neigh borhood is that the building was set on fire. Insurance on tobacco $000. Dwell in.' $200. On tlie Breaks. All our Warehouses had splendid sales of tobacco on Tuesday. We were more than pleased to meet with a large num ber of our farmer friends among those we knew were W. T. Hunt, F. M. Dixon, A. M. Overton, J. P. Thomas, J. A. Watkins, J. M. Hobgood, J. T. Williams, W. W. Currin, Sam Daniel, J. W- Adcock, Robt. Hester, J. W. Davis, Harvey Hobgood, J. R. Walter?, E. C. Montague, Henry Roberts, Mr. Longmire, R. H.-Frazier, S. W. & S.

' We are informed that the public school house of District No. 20 near Berea was burned on Saturday night. As no one was teaching in the building the natural inference is that it was the work of an In cendiary. The good people of this splen did section ot the county are of course greatly incensed at this proceeding. The more so on account of -the dispute that has been going on tor some time in re gard to the division of the amount set apart for school purposes. We learn the committee are making every effort to find out who were the per petrators of this dirty act, and we truly hope they will succed if the building was set on tire.

THE FARMERS' ALLIANCE AND INTEREST PROTECTED, ITS What is CJoiuar on in Bifl'erent Sec tions as Gathered by the Public Ledger Reporters Views of Corres pondents. Av. BEREA ITEMS: We are having fine weather for the season. There is very little plant land burned in this section yet. The music of the ax is heard on every hand clearing new grounds for another tobacco crop. Mr. Joe Meadows has erected a new house over the ashes of the one he lost by fire a few weeks ago. The perpetrators of the black and foul crime of burning the public school house are yet unknown. Mr. J. T. Murry and son have returned from a several days' trip to Durham where they have been prospecting. We have examined the Breeders Guide and are more than pleased with it and hope it will find its way in the home of every farmer in Granville. The tobacco drummer is seen In this section occasionally. Put the prices up boys, and hold them there and the farm ers will need but little drumming. BULLOCK ITEMS . Misses Mag and Annie Mortan, daugh ters of Mr. Nathaniel Morton, of Townes Ville, have returned home after a visit of a few days to Mrs H. V. Watkins. Messrs. Dawson Burwell and Joe Mar row were in our village a few days since. Miss Jennie Morton, of Charlotte Coun try. Va., is on a visit to Misses Lulie and Jennie Watkins. Mr. Woodson McGuire who has been so ill at the residence of Mr. Robert Burwell was at the depot a few days since on his return to his home in Dan ville. We are glad to see he is well enough to travel. We had so much cold, freezing weather that both oats and wheat are looking bad ly. Several of our farmers have prepar ed and sown their plant beds and are breaking up land preparatory to another crop. We have had very few spells suit able for handling tobacco, consequently little has been stripped for market since Chrirtmas. Mr. Rose, the agent for the Sulky Plow Company, of whom Mr. D. M. Ferry is president, has been traveling through this section of country and has been very successful in obtaining purchasers. Mr. J. K. Clement, one of our best farmers, has bought one and pronounces it one of the finest labor-saving tarming implements he ever saw. Messrs. Andrew Buckner and Edward Decker, of Newton, New Jersey, and Mr. John Cavin, of Lafayette, New Jersey, are at present guests of Mr. Thos R. Car rington. Two of the gentlemen have never been South before and are much pleased with our Country and Southern hospitality, and have expressed a wish te visit Oxford and probably settle there. It has been often remarked that there is no city on our broad continent, where stran gers are so hospitably entertained as in Oxford, so it is only necessary to visit this city in order to be pleased with its p ople and surroundings. Trump. leatli ol' Kx-SIiorill I.. II. Bullock, For some time past Ex-Sheriff Bullock has been ia a condition of physical de cline. This sad event occurred at his home near Hester's on Friday last. He was at one time a splendid specimen of a man in bodily proportions, full of stiength and muscle, and bid fair to live to a very old age as he was of a stock of great longevi ty. But as so often the case the man of vigorous health and strength is stricken by the relentless and of the destroying angel while he who is apparently of frail constitution and feeble health will some times see all of his cotemporaries pass over into the Great Beyond. Sheriff Bullock was of a family of Bullocks so well known in the Southern part of the county, and who have always wielded something of a commanding in fluence in that section, indeed it may be said that they held considerable influence in all parts of the county, having many connections and friends all over Granville. L. H. Bullock served as sheriff and so did his brother, Major Ben Bullock, who was his senior and who preceded him to the grave by a few years. While L. H. Bullock was a firm man in his principles yet he possessed many excellent traits of character and was strong in his regard for those whom he took into his confidence as friends. He made a good sheriff, dis charging the duties of the office in an efficient manner. He was a kind husband and father, and will be greatly missed. We extend to his bereaved family our heartfelt sympathies in their affliction. Catarrh is not a local but a constitu tional disease, and requires a constitu tional remedy like Hood's Sarsanarilla, to effect a cure. , THIS PAPER HAS A BIG IN THK TOH A CCO "TE OBACCO J3e ELT. LT.
