THE PASSING LOCAL EVENTS OF THE DAY. V li a t is Transpiring: Aronnil aiicl About ls, in Town mid County The Movements and Doings or Peo ple Yon Know. Etc. Several new buyers are now on our market. Mr. T.T. Bobbin, the great hat drum mer, spent Sunday in Oxford." Miss Nora King is now one of the teachers in the Raleigh graded school. The Oxford Female Seminary con tinues to receive additions to its already large numbsr of pupils. The financial statement of the town is like the force bill it is dead, so far as the people are concerned. A bill has passed the Legislature prohibiting the taking of fish in Gran ville except by hook and line. Gov. Fowle has appointed Mr. S. W. Cooper, of the Banking House of J. C. Cooper & Sons, a notary public. The deadest thing in Oxford Is the Commonwealth Club. Consequently, Brother Kronheimer, it cannot meet. Mrs. S. A. Elliott, who has been sick for some time, is now able to be out to the pleasure of her numerous friends. Capt. W. H. Snow Is now very busily engaged in South Oxford in putting up the machinery of the Modern Barn Com pany. We trust our people will make it a point to first trade with those merchants who seek their trade throusrh the Public Ledger. The Oxford people must come to gether and devise some means to build the connection to the Durham & North ern Railroad. A tobacco orderer exploded at the prize house of Messrs. Davis & Gregory on Thursday last, scalding a colored man to some extent. The Tarboro Southerner sajs that the popular J. Y. Paris, of the firm of Paris Bros., will soon wed one of the wealthiest ladies in the State. A Representative introduced a bill in the House which has passed allowing juice of apples, Deaches, grapes and wine to be sold in Granville. Messrs. Ballou & East, a new firm that has just located in Oxford for the purpose tf dealing in leaf tobacco, occupy the prize house of Mr. Thos. White. Messrs. Humlly Bros, will soon have in operation their plant for the manufac ture of a durable and cheap wire and wooden fence. We are on the move. Mr. Henry J. Hester, one of our most worthy citizens, has removed with his family to the good old county of Pitt. We commend them to the people of Greenville. Farmers should by all means stand by their county paper. If your neighbor is not a subscriber get him to take it and keep posted on what is going on in your own county. Tobacco ia pouring into Oxford daily from every direction by rail and wagons, and our six mammoth warehouses are equal to the emergency, but buyers, ware housemen and auctioneers are kept very busy. Oxford is losing a large amount of trade by not having a connection with the Durham & Northern Railroad. Will the dead Commonwealth Club come to life long enough to look after this important mattr-r ? It is suggested that if the riins con tinue during the spring the Town Com missioners will have to supply some of the recently worked streets with pontoon bridges in order that passage may be had nvpr some of them. Mr. D. Y. Cooper has gained quite a notoriety by accidentally witnessing the Daniels-Ashe fracas at Raleigh last week. The press of the State has put him dswn as Representative Cooper. We wish he was the Representative from Vance. Mr. W. A. Davis, of the firm of Davis & Gregory, entertained some of his South Carolina friends one evening last week in handsome style. A sumptuous supper was enjoyed in which some of the mem hers of the Tobacco Board participated. Give us the connection with the Dur ham, & Northern Railroad instead of the water works by long odd. It is of far more vital importance to the prosperity of our town just now, as we are graduall' losing the trade of our county people who live along thi9 line. We are indeed sorry to chronicle the death of one of the most estimable and worthy ladies of Fishing Creek township, Mrs. S. H. Longmire, which occurred on Sunday last. Mrs. Longmire had been in bad health for several months and her death was not entirely unexpected to the family. She was a devoted wife and mother as well as being truly a christian woman. We extend our sympathies to the reif-stricken husband and children in this their hour of gloom and sorrow Rev. Woodson Walker, aud Rev. Mr. Wingate, of Durham, exchanged pulpits on Sunday last. The sermon of Rev. Mr. Wingate was one of deep thought and his discussion of the text showed that he is verily a good worker in the Master's Vineyard. Rev. Dr Black is getting everything at the Orphan Asylum in admirable shape and is moving right along with the deter mination to make his administration a success. He is a man of broad views and is most admirably qualified for the duties of Superintendent. Messrs. Hunt, Cooper & Co. opened the Meadows warehouse on October 1st, 1390, and we learn have sold tobacco up to the present time at an average of over $13 per hundred. This certainly speaks well for these enterprising gentlemen, and for the Oxford market. Albert Parham, the colored boy who broke open a box in a fanners wagon at the Alliance warehouse last week and stole his dinner and skipped the town, was captured at Roxboro. Chief of Police Renn went after him and Parham is now in durance vile, being an inmate of Hotel de Moore. For the best interest of Oxford we suggest that the Board of Town Commis sioners lay aside the water works ques tion for awhile and take some step look ing to the building of the Durham it Northern Mailroad connection, as that is of far more importance to the town just now than water works. The Durham & Northern Railroad throws a part of the best trade ef Gran ville right into the lap of Henderson and Durham. The good farmers of the South ern part of the county would be glad to have the facilities offered for them to sell their tobacco in Oxford as well as to pat ronize our merchants. Will the business men of Oxford wake to this fact? FrtOtReat Them Carefully. The report has been manufactured and used against Davis & Gregory that they "want and sell nothing but Eastern to bacco." Yes, Davis & Gregory are proud of their patronage from Eastern friends just as proud as other people would be if they had it. Why, how can you have a market with out tobacco ? That is why Davis & Greg ory work for tobacco from the East, to bacco from the W est, tobacco from every where. How many orders and how many buy ers and what kind of a market would Ox ford be if our six warehouses sold tcbacco grown only in five miles of the place? The sensible answer to that question is why Davis & Gregory have worked for tobacco from a distance. Wrhat is the real interest of the farmers of Granville and adjoing section? Why to see the biggest market in the State at Oxford. Put down the tobacco and the buyers will come put down.- the tobacco and the orders will come put down the tobacco and the houses will be built put down the tobacco and the money will come. That is whv Davis & Gregory work for tobacco from everywhere. Suppose Davis & Gregory could sell the tobacco now sold at Durham, Rox boro, Clarksville, Henderson, Louisburg and Raleigh what a happy centre Oxford would be and what garden spots the farm ers of Granville would occupy. Your gruel is too thin; sensible, fair minded farmers see through it. Why are the farmers of Granville and Person now driving to Davis & Gregory's warehouse? Because they find fair square dealing and a warehouse business conducted on business principles and they like it. Wrhy are the farmers now driving to Davis & Gregory's warehouse ? Because they know that Davis & Gregory do not "pin hook" their tobacco and have never made or lost a dollar directly or indirectly at "pin hooking" since they have been in the warehouse business. Why are those wagons now heading for Davis & Gregory's warehouse ? Because they know Davis & Gregory do not buy tobacco in the country and have no coun try purchases to look after and neglect the farmers tobacco which is not bought Why do those farmers looK so restful and easy driving in at Davis & Gregory's? Because they have "got there" and be cause Davis & Gregory have not drummed them to death at home or on the road or bought their tobacco. They know they will get the highest market price that day. Why did you sty those wagons were driving to DavU fc Gregory's ? Easy enough. B-cause Davis & Gregory sell tobacco on its merits; because wagons are never allowed to btand aud wait but plenty of hands to unload them at once. What were you remarking about Davis & Gregory? Why simply this, that who- ever went to that house were well treated and given fair dealing from the humblest patron with his ox cart to the wealthiest citizen of the land. J Davis & Gregory attend personally to their business a pile of tobacco is never overlooked but every one is pushed to the highest market price or bought by them. I AROUND GRANVILLE. THE FARMERS' ALLIANCE AND INTEREST PROTECTED, ITS What it Going: on in ilfereii( Sec tions as Gathered by the Public ledger Reporters Views of Corres poiMleuf m. Av. ALBIN. I noticed in the Ledger of Feb. 7th an article stating that the farmers of Gran ville county were an unit in opposing the proposed legislation to reduce warehouse charges. Such may be the case else where but so far as I have been able to learn the farmers of North Granville do most heartily approve of the bill and wish our legislators to do everything in their power to pass it. Should our Represen tatives vote against the bill or refuse to support it this part of the county will very willingly assist in sending them on an exploring expedition up "Salt river" to look for the lamented John James In galls. Alpha. DABNEY DOINGS. Mrs. J. N. Harris, of Johnson City, Tennessee, is here on a visit to her friends. The Rav. W. E. Swain delivered splen did sermons to large congregations Sun day morning and night. Miss Lora Vaughan, of Vaughan's Sta tion, arrived Saturday night. She came on a visit to her sister Mrs. McClark. Four thousand pounds of tobacco was shipped from here Wednesday morning, most of it going to the Oxford market. Tuesday evening of this week while the 5 o'clock train was half a mile above here the trucks under the front end of a box car which was next to th engine left the rails and got cross ways the track causing a delay of five hours. Consider able track Was torn up but none of the passengers or trainmen were hurt. Tonos. WHETSTONE CHIPS. Miss Mary Watkins is teaching public school near here. Our former Deputy Sheriff, G. D. Pit tard, is now with Davis & Gregory and he is a wheel horse to drum. Our farmers are preparing wood to burn more plant land, but as a general thing the crop of tobacco will not be as large another year as the last. Trade has opened up very well with our merchants at this place. B. F. Frazier & Bro. keep a good stock of goods and guar antee to sell as cheap as the cheapest. The seasons for the last few days have given the farmers a good opportunity to strip and market some tobacco, but owing to the roads being in such, bad condition it is almost impossible to get to town with a loaded wagon but what has been sold on the Oxford market has brought satisfactory prices. X. FISHING CREEK. Too much cannot be said as to the ad vantages to accrue to our section from good public roads. Nor can our Legis lators be too often or too earnestly urged on to their duty in this matter. The increasing prosperity of any sec tion is shown by improvements in its pub lie roads. All our efforts to induce emigra tion to our erenial clime will be futile until we can show well kept highways They have been accustomed to good coun try roads and will not be slow to count the cost of making their produce, the ex penditure of horse flesh and expense of constant repairs to vehicles. They will not be slow to attribute the general de pression of our country to our neglect ol roadways. And justly too may our sparse population, neglected fields and other evidences of sloth be traced to this cause. Nothing is a greater draw back to any section than bad roads. Good roads are a source of comfort, convenienc e and economy. Tbey attract population. They enhance the value of property. They show an active and hearty civilization They are as essential to the prosperity of a county as abundant railroad facilities We urge the emploj'tnent of convict upon the highways until every publtf road in the State shall have been macad amized. Lands that now can be bought or $5 per acre will then sell for five to ten times as much, and a corresponding evidence of thrift and prosperity will characterize every branch or industry within our borders. H ADONIRAM. Wheat ha3 begun to show itself siuce the recent warm rains and looks well. The farmers are very backward abouf burning plant lands on account ot wet weather. We are very sorry to hear of the death of our old friend L. H. BuHbck. lie made a good officer and was a most worthy gentleman. Our farmers generally raise their own supplies. I heard a good farmer say in regard to meat that the cheaper Western meat was the more determined farmers should be to raise their meat at home. This section is noted for its quietness. Our citizens rarely ever have a case in court or go to law with any one. We are thinking of asking the Legislature to nake a little county of us. Mr. Z. W. Rhodes who recently pur chased Spikesburg farm hera from Mr. G. S. Daniel, has discovered1 very valua ble iron ore and informs us that his mine will be worked very soon. Our farmers are busy stripping tobacco and would be glad to sell some but the roads are almost impassable. I am not going to grumble with our road supervis ors for the condition of the roads for I do not know how they could be made any better. There is five of the oldest persons in this section in the county. Mr. Willis A Royster was born in the year 1800, beins now 91 years old. He looks well; has never been married, and is one of the most interesting conversationalists I ever knew. His mind is perfectly clear and he is well posted in current topics. Miss Polly Currin, a maiden lady of 80 years. is another. She looks well and gets about as quick as some of the much youngor ladies. Mrs. Jos. Newton was born in 1801, and is, therefore, in her DOtli year. Mr. Elijah Daniel is Jjyears old and goes 15 miles to town now and sells his produce. He has been married twice and raised a large family of children.' Mrs. Parthenia Crews is also a centenarian. These are all the very best of people of the old simon pure stock and claim to have lived through the best time. May they continue to live and enjo' health, and may their example remain forever. G. D. PlTTARD. BULLOCK ITEMS. Mr.. John Easly Boyd, of Vance county, was in this neighborhood last week. Mr. Thos. L Faucette of Wilton, N. C, is on a visit to his brother Mr. G. H. Faucette. Master Harry Watkins who is under the instruction of Rev. Carr Moore of Townesville was at home to see his mother on Saturday and Sunday. Rev. Carr Moore has a flourishing day school and eight boarders. Mrs. John Nelson is at present teaching near Buchanan. She is a lady of fine ed ucation and long experience and fully competent t fill the position. The peo ple of Buchanan may consider themselves truly fortunate in securing such a teacher. 2Foxes are getting so plentiful in this neighborhood that they are being hunted to protect the young lambs. Mr. Watkins Elam of Buffalo Junction was in this vicinity last week with his well trained pack of dogs and for several days the fields and woods resounded with the noise of the chase, A very small proportion of the fine to bacco in this community has been carried into market up to the present time on ac count of the scarcity of good stripping seasons. For the past week we have had excellent weather for handling tobacco and now quantities of all grades will be carried to Oxford and other markets very scon. The Union Sunday-school which meets exery Sunday aiternoon at tne residence of Mrs. Nannie V. Watkins is in a most flourishing condition, having twenty-five members and very regular attendance Mr. Henry Nelson, our Superintendent, is a most faithful and competent officer. Mrs. Thos. Carrington had the misfor I tune to have a hen fall into the well on last Saturday and when a man was sent down to clean out the well on Tuesday s the hen was found alive and in perfect j health, and no oou at tue oid wen oucnei in the bottom of the well contained sev - tal esss. The reader can believe the alter clause if he likes. Thump. Oxford JItwt Wake Up.
