When the girl nestles her head on your breast it's time to begin planning the home nest During the past week water, water everywhere, and nearly everything was stuck in the mud. The residence of Mrs. T. L. Har grove, near the Female Seminary, is rap idly going up. Mr. John F. Woody, the efficient Deputy Collector of this district, called to see us last week. The average Oxford girl would make good soldiers as most of them have smelled powder without flinching. Mr. Geo. P. Hart, of Greensboro, and at one time connected with the Southern Democrat, has iemoved to Oxford. Messrs. A. C. Parham and J.T. Cheat ham spent Wednesday of last week in Raleigh taking In the Legislature. The school bill has passed the House. The tax has been increased on the poll to 42 cents and on property to 14 cents. Mayor Smith, who has been sick for some time, is now able to be out to the gratification of his numerous friends. Messrs. Hayden Crews, Jos. B. Par ham, and W. A.

We are under obligation . to the National Economist for a copy of "Hand Book of Facts and Alliance Information" specially prepared for members of the order. Contractors Thain & Vestal, of Greensboro, have removed to Oxford, and will engage in building up our town. These gentlemen have the reputation of turning out good work. The Commonwealth Club pulled themselves together last week and held a meeting and determined to make up for loss time by pushing right ahead with the Oxford & Coast Line Railroad. It is evident that the Commonwealth Club is aroused from its long sleep and will now get down to business. It took a good deal of hammering oa the part of The Day to wake it up but it got there. Quite a number of Franklin county farmers were on our market dur ing the past week, and sold tobacco at satisfactory figures. That's right. Come again and our boys will please you every time. Mr. F. B. Wlmbish, a most efficient business man, is now assisting Capt. W. A. Bobbitt in the clerk's office, vice Mr. R. W. Lassiter, Jr., who retires to devote his time to real estate and insurance bus iness. The warehouse bill to regulate charges has been laid on the table in the House. This is as it should be as we be lieve the bill would have operated to the detriment of our warehouses as well as our farmers, owing to' the fact that the warehousemen to a large extent keep up the prices of tobacco. Mr. Sam Wheeler and Miss B. Harris were married at the residence of the brides father near Tally Ho, on Wednes day evening, Feb. 18th, Squire J. H. Webb officiating. After the ceremony a sumptuous supper was served in honor of the nuptial. A large number of rela tives and friends of the contracting par ties were present. it is rumored that the Bachelors Club will soon lose one of its shining orbs. He is such a "nice young man" and is a dear lover of old Rockingham. It is a sad blow to the club, but C. J. Gregory has became a victim to the beau tiful despite the protestations of his brother Smith who devotes all his time to hardware- Along with the wave of mud that pre vailed last week came immense quanti ties of tobacco and all our warehouses fully sustained their reputations for pay ing good prices for tobacco, and sent many a good farmer home with bright faces. Oxford is a regular "hummer" and is bound to "get there" on big prices.

C Fleming, sold some tobacco In Oxford on Tuesday at splendid prices. Messrs. Thomas 'Stovall and A. S. Davis, of Stovall, A. C. Parham and C. F. Crews of Oxford were in Raleigh Wed nesday. Our excellent Representative, Mr. W. T. Admans, accompanied by Mrs. Adams took in the Fish and Oyster fair at the City of Elms. Our most wo-thy and efficient Super intendent of Public Instruction, Prof. W. II. P. Jenkins, visited the Legisla ture on Tuesday. White Rock Alliance is one of the most progressive in the county. At the meeting on Saturday 9 new members were initiated. The Granville county road law has passed the House. It provides that the tax for road purposes shall be submitted to a vote of the towns'iip, to say whether they will be taxed or not. The Alliances have now a plan to re gulate the cotto l trade and protect them selves from New York manipulators by moaus'ot a iHiar ai me ports, in cnarge Ol a supervisor of Hgents who is to watch the big markets and stop the sale of cot ton whenever it appears to him best to do so. Last Wednesday the 11-year old son of Ruffia Gooch, living near Hester's station, in Granville county, was bitten through the hand by a dog, supposed to be mad. The canine had several hard fits before he attacked young Gooch. The dog was killed. Several mad-stones in the neighborhood were procured and applied. We are told that one adhered to the wounded part for one and a half hours. Sun. The Durham Globe says, "When Polk, the political fraud, is finally appre hended and sat upon, honest farmers will be just that much better of." It is not necessary to wait until that time as he is already in the heat of the fight and will stay right there until the farmers of this country are relieved of the burdens that are now crushing them almost out of ex istence, despite the opposition of the Globe. Death or a I.iltle Child. John T. Britt, Esq ., DeaiiSir: Our little son, Frederick Stanley, died last Saturday, at 2 o'clock p. m. He was just beginning to walk and talk. The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord! Our hearts bleed with sor row. Your friend, W. H. P. Jenkins. The foregoing intelligence of the sad bereavement which has cast its shadows over the household of Prof. W. H. P. Jenkins wasjead with sorrow by the edi tor of this paper, and will cause a pang of grief to be awakened in many a sym pathizing heart among the vast numbers of his friends and acquaintances. We tender our sincere condolence to him and his stricken family in their moment of grief as they miss the lovely form of lit tle Frederick Stanley whom the Lord has called up higher to bask forever in the sunshine of heavenly glory and happi ness. The pious tone of submission which characterizes the communication shows that he derives consolation from a source above any assuagement of his an guish that could be derived from the sympathy of earthly friends, still we claim the liberty of extending to him heartfelt sympathy.

Last Saturday while cutting in a new ground near Dexter, Mr. John King, a young man about twenty-eight years old, was crushed to death by a tree falling on him. Prof. Hobgood visited our village Tues day evening and made a short trip into the country. He returned late in the evening to take the train for Oxford which was an hour late, but the Professor was two minutes later. Tongs. HARGROVE. At the residence of Mrs. Edny Wright, near this place, was the scene of a happy marriage recently, the contracting parties being Mr. Samuel M. Wheeler and Miss Redia A. Harris. . They were married promptly at 7 o'clock. The day, or rather the evening, that was to consum mate the union of the bethrothed pair came, and the room in which the nuptials were to be celebrated was fairly dazzling in its profusion of light and costly decor ations. The surrounding neighbors, charmed by the boasted grandeurs of the affair, and arrayed in their Sunday clothes turned out en masse so that by 7 o'clock the meeting house was crowded to. the very doors. The bride and groom both faultlessly and richly attired, entered the room and walked up the aisle (that was a space left by the lookers-on) to their places under the marriage bell hanging pendant before the altar. Then the justice stepped for ward and repeated in solemn, measured tones the ceremony, at the conclusion of which the justice, a silver-haired six footer, stepped forward and saluted the bride by stamping a lasting kiss upon her brow, after which a good many did likewise. America. SALEM. A merrier party never met than the one that gathered Wednesday afternoon of last weak at the residence of the brides father, Mr. J. A. Cottrell, to witness the marriage of his daughter, Miss Delia, to Mr. E. Hart. Promptly at 3 :30 o'clock our beloved pastor Rev. J. H. Hall entered, followed by the attendants, Mr. Laurie Breedlove and Miss Lillie Crews ; Mr. A Newton and Miss Lola Smith; Mr. Willie Lump kin and Miss Eula Breedlove ; Mr. Jim Cottrell and Miss Emma Hart. After the attendants who were all handsomely dressed took their position, came the bride leaning on the arm of the groom . To say she was beautiful does not express it; she wore a handsome traveling suit After the ceremony, which was performed in a beautiful and impressive manner, the bridal party left for the home of the groom's father, Mr. W. Hart, where an elegant supper had been prepared. Time flew rapidly until twelve o'clock, then the happy party dispersed. The presents were very handsome and numerous, as both the bride and groom were very pop. ular. May their pathway through life be strewn with roses and never a thorn. Trixy. BULLOCK DOTS. Mr. J. II. Davis was on a visit to his morther this week. Dr. A. P. Gore, of Baltimore, and his brother Mr. John Gore, of Glynden near Baltimore, are guests of Mr. Thts. Car rington. The warm rains have caused the fruit trees to commence budding and we are becoming uneasy for fear there will be a scarcity of fruit this summer. The negro who committed murder and robbery at Blackstone, Va., was arrested near KittreU, N. C, and passed here Saturday night, in the hands of officers. Dr. R. M. Marsh filled the pulpit at Grassy Creek on Sunday. His bright, smiling face is always welcomed by all denomination in this community and his earnest excellent sermons enjoyed. Mr. and Mrs. John Morton, of Charlotte Co., Va., arrived last week on a visit to Mrs. N. V. Watkins. After a stay of a few days Mr. Morton returned to Char lotte, tearing Mrs. Morton to remain for several weeks with her mother. The earth has been so wet, owing to the recent rains, that the farmers have become restless on account of not being able to prepare their plant beds. With the aid of plant bed cloth, they still gD hope to plants. be able to raise a plenty i of Notwithstanding the prolonged wet spell the farmers are plowing jfor winter oats. Those who have confidejice in the influence that the moon has csver the weather, predict we will have air weather now since the moon has changed. Trum? A VOICE FROM LEWIS'. Occasionally something turns up in this vicinity worth relating. In the first place will say Cupid's darts have been fleeting through the air in this yicinity and have pierced two loving hearts causing them to unite their future destinies as one. The allusion is to VIr. Elija Hart, who on the evening of the 18th led to the altar Miss Delia, the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Cotttjell. The ceremony was performed by the Kev. J. H. Hall of the Methodist church.; It was a solemn, beautiful and instructive one. May their future pathway through this world be as smooth and tranquil as a lake whose surface is undisturbed by tae winds of Heaven. I The people of this community have organized a debating society called the iroung Men's Progressive Society. The organization took place at the residence of Capt. C. R. Lewis. The first business was the election of officers, resulting in the election of Capt. C. R. Lewis as pres ident, Mr. M. A. Traylor, vice-president, and Mr. C. L. Lewis, secretary. A selec tion of a query for the next meeting was in order, and was "which is the: most beautiful to the eyes of man, the beauties ;f Nature or the beauties of art." There was a very spirited discussion on both sides. The evening passed off very pleasantly and instructively. The next meeting was to have taken place on the 20t.h, at which time the subject was to be "whether a third party will be of benefit to the country." We expected to have some delators from other townships to take part in the discussion, but the in clemency of the weather caused the meet ins: to be postponed until the last Satur day in the month at 7 o'clock, p. m , at which time we expect to har some goefd speeches. L. FISHING CREEK. As it is raining to-day as usual and a quietus on all outdoor work i3 upon us, I will write a few facts as I hear and know them. The Sunday-school at Bethel is boom ing; our singing is superb. I don't think we have lost but one day during the win ter from rain or bad roads. The Rev. J. H. Hall preaches for us the third Sunday evenings and all the fifth Sundays, to the great pleasure and edification of us all. Rev. W. S. Hester is with us every first Sunday at 11 o'clock, if bad road or rain or something else don't keep him saway. He has been preaching us some excellent sermons. There is a quantity of tobacco 'ready for the market in the neighborhood but as it is almost impossible to take it to our own market, Oxford, on account of bad roads, for the present, at least, will try Durham and Henderson markets which claim there is none better. Should I visit D. or II. with a load I shall expect to find nice clever gentlemen as I have in other days, but would miss the faces of Booth, Burwell, Bransford, Bobbitt, Cur rin, White, Reed, Smith, Adams, Gooch, and in fact there are so many I have not room to mention them all, to make glad the old farmers heart and send hlni back to his better half rejoicing, is thf reason I give for wanting the line from jOxford to Dickerson's Crossing built so ve may sell all our tobacco in your boomiag city. It was my pleasure to be at the wed ding of Mr. Wesley Harri3 and Miss Mary E. Pool Tuesday, the 17th at the residence of her grand-mother, Mrs. Susan Weaver, living near Fair Port, in Fishing Creek township. The nuptial knot was tied by W. D. Blackley, a justice of the peace in said township, in a most solemn and dignified manner, partaking of both iudge and preacher. Mr. W. T. Patter son, second only to E. O. Excelle, and a small portion of the Bethel choir sang three beautiful songs for Mrs. Weaver, one of the best women I ever knew, who is at thi3 time unable to see or wain from old age, to her great satisfaction and de light. At the said time the young, the giddy and the gay were wending their way on the hill a few hundred yards dis tant to the residence of the bridegroom, finding Mr. Aich Tippett with banjo in hand. The fuu, the fun, the fun. You just ought to have been there. I noticed two or three of the Oxford gents in the fun that are seen quite often in this part of His moral vineyard. I guess we will find out the reason after awhile. B. The great majority of so-called coigh cures do little more than impair the di; gestive functions and create bile. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, on the contrary, while it cures the cough, does not interfere wilh the functions of either stomache or liver. "A stitch in time saves nine," and if you take Hood's Sarsapaiilla now it may save months of future possible sicknes. $1.50 NORTH CAROLINA. WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE WITHIN HER BORDERS.
