Aronud anl About I'ii, in Town anl founly The SIovemeutH antl Doings of Peo ple You Know. Etc. Dr. J. E. Wyche attended the Y. M. C. A. Convention at Durham. A. W, Graham, Esq., spent several days In Baltimore on legal business. Several cottages in South Oxford are being built by Messrs. Hundly Bros. Judge R. W. Winston, after a week's rest, is now holding court in Raleigh. The Farmers' Alliance warehouse had a splendid break on Friday ami prices were high. J.C.Cooper & Sons, bankers, will commence their new building as soon as the weather will permit. Mrs. Chas. D. Britt who has been se riously ill t Franklinton, we are glad to learn is slowly Improving. Mr. Geo. B. Harris, of the warehouse firm of Harris, Gooch & Co., Henderson, spent Saturda3T in our town. Mr. Henry T. Watklns, of Hender son, and Mr. B. F. Bullock, of Franklin ton, were in Oxford Saturday on legal business. Mrs. It. W. Elam, of Buffalo Junc tion, who has been on a visit to the fam ily of Mr. Bowling in Oxford has re turned home. We were pleased to meet in town on Friday Mr. J. P. Bradsher, who has been confined to his home near Minor's mill with an affliction of boils. Moore, Day & Co., successors to Moore, Newton & Co., have opened a horse millinery store, in the basement under Hart & Lawrence's, Hillsboro St. Mr. R. W. Lassiter, Jr., informs us that the West Oxford Land Company is rapidly disposing of their stock. The property Is ver3r valuable and is a capital investment. The Modern Barn Company have in . ereased their capital stock from $350,000 to $500,000. It will be the biggest thing of the kind in the South. Hurrah for Col. Snow and associates! A fire company has been organized in Oxford. It is composed of some of our best citizens, and we venture the as sertion that no harder working set at a fire will be found in the State. Mr. W. Duke, of Durham, has pur chased the Louisburg Female College, and named it "Mary Duke College" in honor of his daughter. The building will be remodeled and improved. We had the pleasure of meeting in Oxford on Tuesday Mr. C. P. Bullock, of Wake county, brother of Mr. John Bul lock, who had some fine tobacco on our market which sold for fine prices. We are gratified to learn that Mr Jas. G. Scott, a nephew of our most worthy townsman, Col. J. 8. Amis, is meeting with success in Winston.' In connection with his law practice he has opened a real estate office. The gifted and talented Col. Harry Skinner, who made quite a reputation in the Legislature as an orator, has been in vited to deliver the Literary Address at th commencement of the celebrated Horner .School. An old colored couple was mar ried a few days ago near Lewis; the grom was 75 and the bride has passed her fiOth summer. One of the waiters was 70 years of age All of their heads were ss white as cotton. Oar old friend Capt. John A. Wil liams is still in the real estate ring and is as anxious lo sell a house and lot or a fine tobacco farm as ever. He is well posted and if you are seeking investment it would be to your interest to call on him. Farmers stand by the Oxford market, as you can get the very highest prices for your tobacco. Don't help up build other towns by pulling your own county town down. Think of it farmers, you are working directly against your own inter est. The Modern Barn Company will manufacture smoking tobacco on a large scale as they have ample capital. The' will use only tobacco cured by their val uable process, which for flavor and clean liness, will stand unrivaled by any other brands on the market. Oak Hill township must be a very healthy spot. Mr. H. Wilburn, who is an old bachelor, has reached the age of 85. His two maiden sisters who live with him have reached 82 and 87 respectively There also lives on the plantation an old negro woman in her 91st year. We more than regret that Durham has captnred one of our best auctioneers. Mr. Tom Washington will after April 1st sever his connection with the Meadow's warehouse and will sell the farmers' to bacco at th,e Alliance warehouse in Dur ham. Mr. Washington is a fine auction eer and we congratulate John Pope upon securing hU services. Senator from KortH Dakota. Henry C. Hansbrougli, one of the United States senators from North Da kota, was elected to that office early in 1891. He was born at Prairie du Rocher, Ran dolph county, 111., Jan. 30, 1848, received a com mon school edu cation and in 18G6 removed to Cali fornia, learned the printers' trade and at the age of SENATOR H AXSBROUGH. go waS publishing a daily paper in San Francisco. A. little later lie went on the San Francisco Cochineal, which he left in 1879 to go to Chicago, whence he removed to Devil's Lake, where he started the Devil's Lake Inter-Ocean. He was elected to congress in 1888 over a Democratic candidate. Dr. Nash, of 8tem, was in. Oxford Monday. Spring fever is likely to step on the heels of the grip. A substitute for coffee is announced. There is nothing new in that, according to confirmed boarders. Speaking of taxes, it maj' lie stated that the general tax is 25 cents, school tax 15, pension tax 3. That leaves the counties 232: cents. This is a great year for breaking records, and now the news conies that contrary to custom the Delaware peach indications promise a fine crop. We trust our people will patronage our home enterprises instead of sending money away. If we do not pull together we will never succeed in building up our town. Farmers are cautioned by the Agri cultural Department against buying any commercial fertilizer not bearing the guaranteed claim and the tag as required by law. The movement against gift package candy is not intended to affect the right of an enamored youth to draw a prize, of the sweetest girl In trie world In the greatest lottery of life. The sunshine has again appeared and the voice of the ploughman is heard in the land. The farmers were getting a little behind with their work but they are putting in their best licks now. Rev. Thomas Stradley, Buncombe, Baptist preacher, well known throughout the State, celebrates his 93rd anniversary to-day (16th). He is the father of eur es teemed townsman Rev. J. A. Stradley. The farmers are much further be hind this spring than usual. Very few have sown any oats yet and have scarcely any corn land prepared. The amount of fertilizer that will be used cannot be told yet, as it is almost impossible to get it from town. April 1st the publication of the Western North Carolina Baptist, at Ashe ville, will be resumed by Rev. J. A. Speight, who has purchased the paper. Mr. Speight is widely known in Eastern North Carolina, and has for some time been associate editor of the Biblical Re corder. Our sanctum was invaded on Satur day by two noble Lyons. They were not seeking whom theyr could devour, but stepped in to wish us continued success in the work of building up Oxford and Granville county. Messrs. E. D. Lyon and W. P. Lyon are both progressive farmers from over the Tar, and are among the best men in the county. No doubt the Legislature which has just adjourned has accomplished much good, but it surely has left one thing un done and that is the ground hog business. It seems that the hog might have been modified in some way or other so that it would not stay in its hole so long next winter. The old people say they never saw the roads worse, and it seems that they will get worse yet. But probably they will dry up about July or August and then the public will want it to rain as bad as they want it to quit now. The quietude of Clays was greatly disturbed on Friday last by the appear ance of a rabid dog. He first visited the farm of Mr. Luther Pitts and bit his dog, then he left, for John Elliott's and his dog shared the same fate. He branched off and took in the farms of Sim Tippett and Alpheus Clay, and gave their dogs a dose of poison. The whole neighborhood was soon up in arms and the slaughter of canies commenced, and it is yet unknown how many have been sent to the dog world. We believe there is a fine opening in this section of North Carolina for a high grade hospital where the afflicted can be treated without having to go North at great expense. We hope our talented young friend, Dr. J. M. Hays, who stands to-day at the head of his profession in North Carolina, both as to surgery and materia medica, will establish such an in stitution in Oxford. It would be a bless ing to humanity as well as a paying en terprise. We learn that Dr. Hays has several patients now in Oxford under treatment. AROUND GRANVILLE. THE FARMERS' ALLIANCE AND ITS 'INTEREST PROTECTED, What is doing on In Different Sec tions as Gathered by the Public Ledger Reporters Views of Corres- . iulenta, Ar. DABNEY DOINGS. Large quantities of tobacco con tin tie to be shipped from this point. Mr. Sam Saddler, of Littleton, arrived here Monday night and will remain for sometime. Mr. John Wright, an old resident of Poplar Creek neighborhood, has removed his family to Clarkesville. The roads are in a very bad condition and are almost impassible in places, yet they are constantly lined with wagons going to and coming from market. Mr. John Smith's chickens have been frequently disturbed of late which would call the old gentleman forth with his shot gun. Saturday night some one, no doubt the would-be thief, slipped up to the door of Mr. Smith's house and placed a pad lock on it, probably thinking they had him this time ; but Mr. Smith was not in having gone away and left the house in charge of an old colored man. Mr. Smith arrived in a few minutes after the door had been fastened and drew the staple. In a short time the thief returned, and was fired at as he ran off. Mr. Smith has a splendid lock that used to belong to somebody. , Tongs. BULLOCK DOTS. Mr. James N. Daniel left this week for Prince Edward county, Ya. Mr. John Royster, of Buchanan, is the guest of his uncle Mr. John Nelson. Mrs J. J. Lawson has returned from a visit to her daughter Mrs. Brown, who lives near Durham on the L. & D. R. R. After conducting a most interesting meeting at Albin, our evangelist Mr. Max well commenced a series of meetings at Shiloh last Friday. He will be assifted the remainder of the week by Dr. Mo; ton and Rev. Carr Moore.? . A meeting of all the Sunday-schools in this Association will take'place at Grassy Creek church on the fifth Sunday in this month. Revs. George Watkins, and R, VanDeventer, of Henderson, are expected to be present on that occasion. Qnite a number of cows have been stolen in the neighborhood this winter, and although the matter has been well in vestigated, it' has remained a mystery until last Saturday as to who the sly thief could be. Mr. Kent Matthews lost a val uable cow last week and after tracing it to Henderson, identified it in the butcher's pen. Wash Davis, a negro, was caught while selling the cow and lodged in Hen derson jail. The travelers on the O. & C. railroad will be pleased to hear that there is a hotel in operation at Bullock's Station called the "Possum House" where hot 'possum, simmon beer, tater pies, fried chicken and hot buscuits, coffee &c, can be served to him at any hour. All we need now is electric lights, 'street cars, macada mized streets, Land Improvement Com pany, &c. &c. to make this quite a city. Hurrah for Bullock's. Thump. FISHING CREEK. It is an omen of good that the whole country is thoroughly aroused to the im portance of good country roads. It looks as if the Farmers' Alliance should have taken this matter in hand in preference to railroad management. They have de clared for legislation concerning our rail road management and their demands have been granted, so far as the establishment of a commission, but seem slow to take in the far more important improvement de manded in our abominable county system. It is peculiarly fitting, it is clearly within their own domain to perfect this reform and the public have a right to demand this of the Alliance. For several months past the farmers not immediately at a railroad station have been virtually cut off from any thing like a convenient ac cess to their home market. We read in a late issue of The Day the names of half dozen or more of our best farmers living within a few miles of Ox ford, in Fishing Creek township, one day last week sold tobacco in Durham. "They could not haul over the public roads to Oxford, and living convenient to the Dur ham & Northern Railroad they were forced to find another market and Oxford and our connty suffered thereby. There are thousands of dollars worth of tobacco in Granville county that have been sold re cently in other markets, and there are many thousands from adjoining counties that would go to Oxford to swell the county trade and increase the taxable basis if better highways were provided. Tens of thousands pounds of tobacco will go to Oxford when the Oxford and Coast Line Railroad is built. This is no idle talk, speculation, but facts that no one can successfully deny. More than this, Oxford cannot even retain her pres ent trade unless these difficulties in reach ing her market are at once met and re moved. The present Railroad facilities Oxford Governor Boyd. Hon. James E. Boyd, elected gov ernor of Nebraska by the Democrats in 1890, but whose right to serve was denied i n e o m e quarters, was born in County Tyrone, Ireland, Sept. 9, 1834, and came to America when 10 years old with his parents, lo cating in Ohio. In 1856 he re moved to Ne braska. In 1857 JAMES E. BOYD, he was elected clerk of Douglas county; ten years later was chosen member of the first state legislature from Buffalo county; served as mayor of Omaha from 1881 to 1883 and from 1885 to 1887; was Democratic candidate for United States senator in 1883, and was a delegate to the convention that nominated rover Cleveland for president in 1888. now has will amount to very littiefrf they are not improved by the buildingof the much needed Oxford & Coast Line R. R. This is bv far the most important. - - M move ever made for the growth and pros perity of Oxford and Fishing Creek town ship. Not to encourage by every means in our power its construction will evince a degree of stupidity which it is Ijoped and believed we are incapable of. rj. b. .t. BEREA DOINGS. The wheat crop is much damaged by too much wet weather. Corn planting will necessarily be late this spring as but little preparation has been made for the crop up to the present. There will be a Sunday school Institute at Mt. Zion next. Saturday aud Sunday. If the weather is good a large crowd U ex pected . Mr. J. N. Fuller, of the firm of J. N. Fuller & Bro., has just returned from Baltimore where he has been buying their spring goods. One of our old farmers a few days ago while in a crowd talking about the roads made a move that all hands spend a day in working the roads between here and Oxford, whereupon another said he ob jected as all the road money had been used to make those mud holes and he proposed to have nothing to do with it. Mr. Herbert Lunsford, of Person, son of Mr. Joe G. Lunsford, while returning home recently from selling a load of to bacco in Oxford, drove into Shlton's creek not knowing it was up and vould have had a serious accident but for Mr. R. A. Yancy who stopped him and helped get his horses and goods out as he was loaded with goods for Messrs. J. N. Ful ler & Bro. Mr. Yancy chained his wagon lo a tree where it stayed until the water fell so he could resume his journey home. WILTON WHISPERINGS. Miss Pattie N. Lyon has taken the pub lic school at Banks. Mr. Robert Freeman has his new 20 horse power engine at work at his saw mill. Miss Belle Williams, of Fayette ville, who is visiting her brother Mr. R. S.Wil liams, speut several days in Wilton with friends. We are glad to get the Ledger again on regular time, as the last two issues came all O. K. Brother Wanamaker is doing better since Congress adjourned. The new M. E. church at Grove Hill is being completed, and is a nice build ing, reflecting much credit to that sec tion, as it is built entirely by the citizens. Mr. John M. Morris, who left for Texas a few weeks ago, is highly pleased with the country. He is at present in Atlas, Texas, visiting his brother Dr. J. A. Mor- j ris. Our section has lost many of its citi zens by death since Christmas; and much sickness at present. Our town was sadly shocked by the sudden death of Miss Harriet Cawthorn on Monday morning, the 9th inst. She was stricken with pa ralysis. Rain, rain and still raining. Farmers are very much backward in their work ; are not quite through burning plant; land, and much that has been burned was too wet and in bad order for the seeding; but few oats sown; not a furrow for tie corn crop; wheat looking well; no wor: done in the garden yet; crops of all kh.'ds will necessarily be late planted; many i)f our farmers will plant some cotton this year; labor scarce; many farmers have not one hand. Tobacco is being sold very rapidly, as we can do nothing but strip and sell. By the way, what is the matter with the Ox ford market, as many thousand pounds have gone to Durham and Henderson and still going; all from parties who have been selling in Oxford exclusively. Can not Oxford pay as much as other mar kets? Yv'lry do not the warehousemen and buyers of Oxford make the same ef forts that the other markets are doing to get all the tobacco from Granville. Leo. Owen, Biibour & Smith wants to show you any thing you need in their line be fore you buy. They will make it to your interest. NORTH CAROLINA. WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE WITHIN HER BORDERS. A tieneral Epitome of Recent Occur re ii cos Around ami About ITs, From the Mountains to Ilie Sea, as 'ullel from our Slate Paper. Incendiary burned barn and stables o W. H. Edgerton. of AVyne.

Ashevllleans warm to their work of voting $040,000 for street improvement. Judge Boykin was too ill to proceed from Alamance to Orange county this week. Concord is taking a running primary vote to ascertain choice for mayor, polls open two weeks. Earnest Bender, a fish buyer, was upset In his boat, outside, near New River Inlet and drowned. - Woman's Christian Temperance Union arrange for regular Sunday service in Durham county jail. Carpet baggers say North Carolina will send a Harrison delegation to the next national convention. Vanderbilt will spend a million a year building his Asheville castle, tak ing ten years to complete it. To vote or not vote $200,000 for Wil mington street improvements, ' is the burning question of the hour. New Hanover ,the smallest county of the State, has a population of 54,020, and in creased only 2,650 in ten years. North Carolina, Tenessee and Virginia crop of 2,970,000 bushels peanuts, avera ges annual yield of $2,500,000. A large fleet of Maryland dredgers were dreven out of North Carolina waters where they went for oysters. Knitting mills at variout eastern points in the State are pronounced among the most profitable industries . '. Farmers organized a district alliance at Fayetteville embracing all the coud ties of the third congressional district. Finest town clock ever seen in the State, the government is now putting in the rower of the new custom house and post- office, Wilmington. ' At a meeting of the directors of the North Carolina Geological Survey, at Raleigh, Professor Holmes formally ac cepted the position of State Geologist. Governor Fowle offers a reward of $200 for the arrest and capture of Mc Knight alias Stone, who committed such daring robbery at Mount Airy a few weeks ago. Meeting of projectors of electric rail way over the mountains from Tryon City to Rutherford ton, via Chimney Rock, was held at Chimney Rock, and $75,000 subscribed toward building the road. Nathanel J. Cheek an old contractor and builder, of Raleigh. , was run over and cut to pieces by a Seaboard Air Linf engine, March 18th His head was se vered from his body and his fieh an'1 teeth were distributed along the track. We look upon the judiciary of North Carolina as being a noble set of self sacrificing, worthy, competent and con- cientious men, but that there has been something radically wrong recently in the enforcement of the law in these parts, there cannot be a shadow of doubt. We allude to the setting at liberty sev eral murderers to again prey upon soci ety with less punishment than would have been inflicted upon a poor devil of a negro for stealing a chicken or plug of tobacco. Letter in Mt. Airy News Revenue Agent McCoy states that Deputy Field with Barnwell and Deputy Marshel Brim were destroying an illicit distillery seventeen miles from Mount Airy, North Corolina, at noon on the 20th inst. Barnwell and Field were in the distillery. Brim was close by on the outside in the midst of a dense brush, in which the murderers were concealed. The bush-whackers fired on Brim first. Barnwell went to his assistance, and was shot in the back. He staggered back in to the house and died two hours later. Brim was mortally wounded. The largest assortment of buggies, carts and wagons to be found at prices to suit all at Owen, Barbour & Smith's. Battle With a Mail Sheen. In Person county just over the Gran ville line a few days ago quite a warm battle took place between a farmer and a sheep. Mr. Reding Cash was going along he road and saw just in front of him a sheep frothing and foaming at the mouth, and on approaching the animal at once showed fight. The sheep picthed at Mr Cash in a savage manner who defend ed himself the bet he could until he came in reach of a piece of fence rail which he seized and pounded the sheep until he was dead. It was the property of Mr. John Riggs and it is supposed the animai had been bit by a ribid dog. Big stock genuine plows and castings at Owen Barbour & Smith. MISCELLANEOUS. I ROYALIST It 4 ' Is?
