WbHt im TrannplriuK Around and About Ua, In Town and County The Movement ntt Ootucr of Peo ple You Know, Eic Mr. M. V. Lanier was in attendance upon the Supreme Court this week. Mr. J. M. Evans, the live merchant at Satter whites, was in Oxford Saturday. Mrs. Sanderford and children, of Crews, Va., are the guests of Mr. and Mrs.W.Neal. Mrs. Walter Spratley and children, of Richmond, Va., are visiting Rev. and Mrs. Joseph Rennie. Mr. B. H. Cozart lost a $50 cow on Monday last. She died in his pasture, and it is thought eat some kind of poison weed. It is said that an ante-Alliance paper will be established in Raleigh. That is not necessary as there is already one there. Without doubt Couch & Co. has the best shoe polish on the market. The Roston brand is having a big run and we advise you to get a bottle before it is all sold. We had a pleasant call Tuesday from Representative J. F. Cole. He attended the Tobacco Convention at Henderson in company with Mr. W. J. Radgett and Capt. A. S. Petce. We greet Louisburg with $40,000 for the Oxford & Coast Line Railroad. Let us hear from that town with the same gloiious result at an early day. Listen out for the whistle. The Raleigh Convocation of the Episcopal Church was in session in Ox ford this week. Quite a number of in teresting subjects were - discussed for the benefit of the Church. Messrs. Z. T. Hampton, Coghill Hamp ton, of Hamptoi, N. C, Messrs. B A. Capehart and J.D. Williams, of Kittrell, and Mr. J. N. Faller, the live merchant of Berea, were in Oxford Monday. Rev. M. L. Winston, R. J. Jeffreys, J. W. Lawrence, II II. Heflin, S. A. Flem ing, Sam Moss and J. T. Bullock were in Oxford Saturday to attend the sale of the land of the late Major Ben Bullock. Rev. J. II. Hall and Mr. R. V. Wade, of the Oxford Circuit, are in attendance upon the Raleigh District Conference at Clayton. Oxford station is represented by Mr. J. C. Hundley and Dr. Black. Senator Allen and Representative W T. Adams visited Oxford on Saturday. These gentlemen are hard at work upon their farms and are determined to make a good crop if the seasons will permit. We are under otligations to Mr. W. E. Dorsey and Master W. H. Britt for an in vitation to attend tie Athletic Games at Davis School, at Winston, which takes place May 7th and 8th, beginning at 2 o'clock. Three Tarrotts turned up together in Oxford on Saturday nd good sized ones at that. They were Ed. Will and Sam, all brothers, and capital good fellows, and cannot be excelled as fine tobacco growers. Home of our farn.ers took time to come to town Saturday. We saw on the street A. C. Param, J. P. Currin, N. B. Daniel, J. M. Thomassm, S. L. Howard, J. G. bhotwell, J. A. Shotwell, Rufus Bobbitt and W. B. Royster. Mr. Joseph Jones, who went from the Grissom section 23 years ago to occupy a place at the Insane Asylum which he has faithfully filled, is spending a month with his brother, Mr. W. M. Jones, in the county. He visited Oxford Monday for the first time in 22 years and was greatly surprised at the many improvements. Mr. W. M. Habilston, of Petersburg, Va., has purchased through his attorney Bernard Mann, Esq., from Dr. II. C. Herndon Herndon Block No. 2, which has five nice store rooms, corner Hills boro and College streets. The price paid was $25,000. We are glad to have out side capital coming into vfr,r( a3 n shows that our town stands wn abroad. During court ek we heiu I a horse trader, who was ir!xide an old mare that would have putSncho Panza's Hosinante to shame, say that he had al w.y heard that "money made the mans go," but he'd be blanked if his old mare didn't make all the money he had go, nnl she was not a Maud S. on the move either. In fact, said he, she didn't wact to move more than once a year, but he hoped to get her out of town in time for the spring cleaning up. The crows have loomed up in a new role. Just over the line in Peram, n.r Berea, last week a crow lit upon tha fence close to a farm house, and was watching a brood of young chickens with great at tention. At last he was seen to light into the Hock and capture one. He devoured him and tried it again and again until the brood became greatly diminished. It is said that a crow is worse than a hawk after chickens when they do start. Mr. J. C. Caddell, of the Biblical Re corder, visited Oxford Tuesday. Mr. R. T. Smith lost one of his fine sorrel horses Tuesday with the gripp. The Grand Lodge of I. O. O. F. will meet in Oxford May 12th. We expect to tender that body a royal reoeption. If you want to know something about the mineral resources of Granville visit the real estate office of Rice & Lasslter. Mr. (J. G. Royster, of Bullock, made us a visit on Wednesday. He is a pros perous young business man of that place. Prot. Peuick, of the Female Semi nary, who has been suffering some time with the gripp, is much better we are pleased to learn. We are gratified to learn that Mrs. A. Sherman and Mr. Wm. Daniel, of the Berea section, who have been quite sick, are rapidly improving. The sale of the land of the late Major Ben Bullock took place on Satur day by Major B. F. Bullock and II. T. Watkins, Esq., attorneys. The home tract was sold first and was bid off by Mr. J. T. Bullock for $1,205. Second was bid off by S. L. Moss at $125. The third was knocked off to L. P. Moss for $570, and the fourth one Rev. M. L. Winston was the purchaser at $?40. Rev. T. N. Faucette, the well known Presbyterian divine, occupied the pulpit of the Methodist church on Sunday even ing last, owing to the sickness of the pas tor Rev. K. F. Bumpass. He is a good preacher and his discourse was of a high order We are glad to learn that this gentleman will, In all probability, make Oxford his home in a few months, and will tell him in advance he will receive j a cordial welcome by his friends of old. We return our warmest thanks to Mr. Jno A.Waller, one of the progressive citizens of Knap of Reeds section, for a club of 10 subscribers for one year. We trust our friends in other portions of the county will follow the example of Mr. Waller. Since our last issue we have lost one subscriber and booked 19 new ones. If the people will stand by us and help increase our subscription list we will give them a larger and better paper. What do you all say ? Alliance Love Feast. The members of the Bethel Alliance, in Fishing Creek township, held a regu lar love feast on Saturday. They had District Lecturer Smith with them who in a clear cut, forcible style demonstrated the great fundamental principles under lying the Alliance movement and urged unity of purpose all along the line. Mr. A. S. Peace, County Lecturer, was the next speaker. His argument was brim full of sound doctrine showing many reasons why the farmers should protect themselves against the onslaughts of the money kings. There was a large number of the good ladies of that neighborhood present who had prepared an elegant and sub stantial dinner, which was spread out in a tempting style, and was highly enjoyed by all present. M W. T. Patterson was present with his singing class composed of the young ladies and gentlemen of that section, who delighted all present with excellent vocal music. The day was well and pleasantly spent and all went home determined to battle anew tor the advancement of Al liance principles. Family Ke-IIuion. There was a re-union of the sons, 6 in number, of Mr. William Daniel, a well known citizen of Granville county, at his home last Saturday, and but for the pecu liar circumstances which brought them together it would have been a most pleas ant and happy event. Mr. Daniel has been sick for some time and his death be ing looked for at almost any time, his sons, two of whom live in distant States were summoned to his bedside. They are in the order of their ages, Lewis, who lives in Granville county, Isham, of At lanta, Ga., Albert, of Henderson, John, of Granville, Russell, of Atlanta, Texas, and Jeff, who is the present very efficient Register of Deeds of Granville. This is the first time all had met together in 20 odd years. It is useless to say the aged father, feeble and broken in health as he is, was happy at having all his boys with him under the family roof tree once more. Gold Leaf. Fire at CireeiiM Station. The prosperous station of Greens, on the Oxford fc Clarksville Railroad, had another lire on Wednesday morning, the 22d Inst. At 2 o'clock the store of Mr. J. H. Adams, brother of Hon. W. T. Adams, was burned to the ground. His stock of merchandise was entirely consumed, amounting in value to some $600 or $700. The store house belonged to Mrs. W. E. Green, and her loss is $500. The general impression prevails that the fire was the work of an incendiary. This makes five houses that have been burned in the neighborhood since the first of Novem ber. No insurance Rloney to Loan. Money to lend on good real estate se curitv. Apply to May 1st 4t A. A. Hicks. DING, DONG! ALL ABOARD Oxford Has Acted Her , Let Others THE RAILROAD A CERTAINTY SUBSCRIPTION FOR BONDS TO THE AMOUNT OF FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS CARRIED BY AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY. ft' It affords us no little gratification and pleasure to be able to announce that the Oxford & Coast Line Railroad is now a certainty beyond the per adventure of all doubt, the people going to the polls on Monday and voting aimost as a unit the amount of $40,000 in favor of another railroad. The Ledger has all along agi tated this measure on the part of the peo ple, notwithstanding the fact that there was a great deal of opposition, and some even going so far as to say that in the ad vocacy of this road we were working an injury to the town. We have never felt so, nor was our voice stifled by the croak ings of one idea men. We believed that it was a duty we owed to the town, to her people, and to ourselves, to put in our best efforts for this enterprise, and we now note with pride that the largest majority of our best and most intelligent citizens think the same way, as attested by last Monday evening's result. The completion f this road will open up a section of Granville, Franklin and Nash counties which is rich, and possess ing the finest bright tobacco land in the world. It must necessarily be of incal culable benefit to Oxford, as the trade will thus be turned back to Oxford, which is hers by right, and which she so justly deserves. Not only hers by priority of possession, and which has been inter cepted by the Durham & Northern, but hers by contiguity, and simply for the want of railroad facilities she has been deprived of it. The Oxford & Coast Line Road will cross the Durham & Northern, the Seaboard & Roanoke, and connect with the Wilmington & Weldon road, taking In Franklinton, Louisburg and Stanhope with the prospective terminus at Wilson. It will run through the Southern part of the county of Granville in the neighborhood of Wilton, and we feel assured that the people along the line and at Wilton will use every effort in aiding in the successful completion of this road. 'Westward, the Course The determination of the people of Ox ford in projecting this new enterprise for building up the town is commendable in the highest degree, and we sincerely hope and trust that the people of Nash, Frank lin and Wilson counties will see and ap preciate from their own standpoint the necessity of, and the benefit they will de rive from this line of railroad, and that Louisburg, Franklinton and Wilson will emulate the example so nobly set by Ox ford in casting a big vote in favor of the bonds, and thus zealously and quickly push this scheme through to completion. Let the Board of Directors get together at once and get right down to business as we have no time to allow grass to grow under our feet, as there are men now ex tremely busy trying to offset us in our move to build the road. Shall we sit still and allow them to do it? We say not. We have the advantage and let us not stop one minute until everybody along the proposed line is thoroughly aroused upon the great importance of this grand enterprise. Upward and on ward, gentlemen! Having started the ball in motion at this end of the line, the people of the Western end must get a move on them selves and go to work on the Western ex tension which will run by the way of Berea or Hampton, In Granville county, on to Reidsvllle, Greensboro and to Mt. Airy, giving us a long line through the finest and wealthiest portion of North Carolina a line from the snow capped mountains to the ocean, where the sea- THE 0IF0ED & COAST LINE. Part Nobly and Well Follow Suit. gull dips her pinions into the the white-crested wave. Upon the completion of this road as projected, it will place us and our central Queen City in direct communication with the outside world, afforing us facilities for reaching, at short notice, any of the grand trunk systems running Northland South, which, with our limited present Mvailment will pick us right up ami put us at once in a position to take a decided stand among our neighboring ister town3, which, owing to Oxford's ilegli gence, have been making gigantic strides toward the great cities of the future, by, as before remarked, allowing ourselves to be sandwiched or side-tracked between points, naturally, of lesser note and im portance, and thus sapping the place and county of her products, trade and traffic, by offering and holding out inducements which Oxford was not in a position to de. We believe, thoroughly, in the concentra tion of our forces and resources, instead of allowing a part of our wealth to flow into the lap of other places, however meagre that part may be, for a little here and a little there, like the leak ; f a bucket, continually lessens the contents, and never adds anything to it. We love our grand old State, and take much pride in her welfare and " advance ment, and want to see her towns grow and spead and flourish like the green bay tree but not fertilized at the expense of Oxford . We want to see old North Carolina covered with a net work of rail roads until, like any one of the New Eng land States, it is almost one continuous city, alive with people, dotted oyer its broad area with small thrifty farms, and where one can hardly get out of the sight or hum of buzzing machinerywhere the toilers with smiling faces and happy song, go to their labors with that feeling of contentment which prosperity (ad the assurance that want will be a strarjger to them) produces. Ami we are not selfish, either, and of Kmpii-e Takes its Way." would regret and deplore anything which would have a tendency to cause a halt with any town in the State, but "charity begins at home," and we are for home first, and then North Carolina. "Hip, hurrah ! Three cheers for the railroad !" Since the above was put in type, the Board of Directors have held a meeting and plans have been formulated for com mencing work at once on this end of the line, and steps will be taken to definitely locate the route. A committee has also been appointed to confer with the Town Commissioners in regard to issiing the bonds. f' Our people are in earnest. They are thoroughly aroused to the important mat ter of better and more railroad facilities, and the energy and zeal which character izes the average Oxonian will not allow them to halt until the last spike js driven. Another fact, which argues tlie early completion of the Oxford fc Coast Line Railroad, is that Dr. II. C. Herndon, Pres ident of the Bank of Oxford, and the largest real estate owner in town, is Pref ident of the road, and at the head of af fairs, and those who know him, also know the ardor and soul that enter a tas, which, when once undertaken hy him, Jiids defi ance to all obstacles and difficulties. So, you see, the railroad being an absolute certainty, its quick cempletion under the present management, is none the less a certainty, for "If 'twere done, when 'tis done, Then 'ti well that it were done quickly." spume of UXTERR1FIF.D DKMOCRACY IX tlXE A Straight Out Democratic Conven. tton Held in Oxford. One of the largest straight out Demo cratic Convention ever held in Oxford assembled at the Court House Tuesday night, and owning to the immense crowd had to repair to the Opera House, for the purpose of nominating a Democratic mu nicipal ticket and not a mugwump one. That sterling and true-blue exponent of Democratic principles, Dr. S. D. Booth, was made Chairman. On taking the chair said he was proud to see that the people of the grand old town had made up their minds to fall into line with other town and perpetuate and keep triumphantly afloat the glorious Democratic banner, that carried with it the liberties and rights of the people. His remarks were greeted with great applause. Dr. E. T. White was made Secretary, and was ably assisted by Mr. II. W. Kron heimer, of The Day. A large number of colored Republicans were present, and on motion of Dr. J. M. Hays were invited to take seats in the gallery and nearly all availed themselves of the invitation. , After some discussion as to the manner of voting for Mayor the convention set tled down to business in regular Demo cratic style. Col. H. G. Cooper arose and placed in nomination tor Mayor the present effi cient and most trustworthy incumbent, Mr. L. G. Smith. Col. R. J. Mitchell nominated Mr. A.A. Hick, but was not a candidate and request ed the withdrawal of his name, which was done. This left the gallant Smith in full possession of the field, and was nomina ted by acclamation amid cheers. Loud calls were made for Smith, who, through Col. J. S. Amis, thanked the convention for the honor bestowed, promising to con tinue to do his duty to the people as well as the to wn. Nominations for Commissioners were next in order, and some 18 or 20 gentle men placed in nomination. Two ballots were taken and resulted in the selection of the following leading citizens : A. A. Hicks, A. W. Graham, R. T. Smith, J. B. Brown, J. H. Bullock, R. F. Knott and E. G. Currin. On motton the chairman was requested to appoint a regular Democratic Execu tive Committee for the town of Oxford. This finished the work of the evening and thus ended one of the most enthusi astic Democratic conventions ever held in Oxford, showing that the fires of pure Democratic principles were still burning brightly. Hurrah for Smith and his most excel lent Board of Commissioners ! Enterprising: Warehousemen. "Messrs. Davis & Gregory are gentle men in type, manners and make up, and we mean to say gentlemen with a big 'GV Tobacconist. We endorse every word you say brother Dibbrell. Oxford has many reasons to be proud of her tobacco warehousemen, but among them we are glad to say a word of praise for Davis & Gregory, who have been one of the potent factors in the pros perity of Oxford and her tobacco market. They have liberality, energy and enter prise, and have done a great deal for the Oxford market and are entitled to much credit. There are no warehousmen in North Carolina whose trade extends over a larger area or who gives better satisfac tion to the farmers than Davis & Gregory. Spell their names not only with a big G, but also with a big D. UD" for doing well, and "G" for give them atrial. A IM llioiilty lletwoen Two Young: Men, On Saturday night last a difficulty arose between Mr. Willie Strother and Mr, Fred Overton in Fishing Creek towoship which came very near proving quite a se rious affair. Young Overton picked up a stick, so the report goes, and struck Strother a severe blow on the side of the head knocking him senseless, and he did not regain consciousness until Sunday morning, when he was carried to his home. At last accounts he was getting on very well under the treatment of Drs. Henderson and Clarke. We have not heard the cause ot the trouble between the young men. A warrant was issued for young Overton but he has not as yet been found. The Hest Kesull.
