F. The town of Thomasville voted $10, 000 in aid of the purchase of a suitable site for the location of the Normal Train ing School for Girls. We congratulate Mayor L. G.

Miss Nannie Lyon, one of the charm ing young ladies of Dutchville, who has been on several days visit to her brother, Mr. J. N. Lyon, returned home on Tues day afternoon. That excellent and accomplished gen tleman, Mr. E. D. Steele, attorney for the Modern Barn Company, has been re elected Mayor of High Point. We ex tend congratulations. Colonel C. M. Hawkins, one of the wide-awake young men of North Carolina and a member of the Panacea Springs Co.. was in Oxford on Tuesday attending an important meeting of that Company. The efficient superintendent of the poor house, Mr. Allen, informs us that he has only 20 inmates, the smallest number for a long time. We are pleased to note this, and trust that the number will cori-1 tinue to grow less. We are anxiously awaiting the pro ceedings of the Board of Directors of the Oxford & Coast Line Railroad. What are you doing gentlemen ? The people are anxious to hear from you on this im portant and vital subject. Mr. E. H. Evans and Miss Mollie Hall, both of Franklin county, were made one April 29th, at 2 p m. The interesting ceremony was performed by Rev. J. W. Wellons at the residence of Mrs. L. A. Jeffreys near Wilton, N. C, We hope our people will be alive to the necessity of having their premises thoroughly cleaned up before the advent of the heated term. Oxford is naturally a healthy place, but, of course, much will depend upon proper sanitary regulations. His Honor, Judge Winston, has fin ished his spring circuit having held 10 weeks of court since the 5th of January. In this short time he has established the reputation of being one of the most learned Judges on the bench. Judge Winston will have nearly 3 months rest, hi next court being Granville in July. Revs. R. H. Marsh, J. S. Hardaway and J. A. Stradley delegates to the South ern Baptist Convention at Birmingham, Ala., left yesterday for that city. The congregations over which these gentlemen preside so faithfully defray their expen ses. We wish them a pleasant as well as a profitable trip and a safe return to their respective charges. Grove Hill, the new and attractive Methodist church, near Lyon's mill n Franklin Circuit, will be dedicated on the 5th Sunday in this month. The gifted and able Rev.W.S.Creesy.of Wilmington, preaching the dedication sermon, and a large attendance is expected. The good Methodists of this section have erected this house of worship without the aid of any outside donations, and we congratu late them upon the great success they have achieved. W e notice that those individual who are trying to do all they can to break down the Public Lkdrek read the paper regularly every week. They are too rot ten stingy to subscribe to the paper, but lay around and sponge on those who have liberality and manhood enough to take the Public Ledger. These same fel- lows are the first ones to cry out that we are trying to break down the town by ad vocating the Interest of the farmers, upon the success of whom the whole town depends. OXFOKD, Mr W T. Adams, was in Oxford Thursday. Mr. A. W. Graham is acting Mayor pro tem in the absence of Mayor Smith. Rev. J. H. Hall attended the Educa tional Convention at Durham this week.

Winston was in Oxford on Monday and informed us that M H. Hailey, near Mt. Energy, had set out 8, 000 tobacco plants. We are gratified to learn that the wheat crop in the country is very prom ising. We trust our farmers will not have to buy a pound of flour next year. The Supreme Court has decided that there is no , error in the following cases from Granville: Taylor vs Sikes, Patter son vs Gooch, and Mitchell vs Mitchell. The New Orleans grand jury have refused to make anj indictments in the Mafia murder case, but, on the contrary justified the people for removing the pest from among them. The Board of County Commissioners were in session Monday. Mr. L. G. Smith tendered his resignation as a member of that body which was not accepted. He has truly and faithfully served the people two year without a cent of pay. Mr. L. D. Willitord, who resides near Berea, was stricken with a second stroke of paralysis while attending church on the 2Gth of April. Before the attack was on the right side, but this time the left was afflicted. At last accounts he was in a critical condition. ' -The Day issued a 12 pages edition on Monday which was well gotten up, and liberally patronized by our merchants. We trust Broiher Kronheimer made it pay, and did not come out at the little end of the horn as we did in our venture last year to push Oxford forward. The pioneer Baptist of Western N. C, Rev. Thomas Stradley, was gathered to the Home of his Master whom he has so faithfully served all these years on Satuday last. He resided near Asheville and was 94 years old. He was the father of our esteemed townsman, Rev. J. A. Stradley. The Educational Conference which met at Trinity church, Durham, was ad dressed by Bishop Galloway. The fol lowing resolution was adopted : Resolved, That it is the sense of this Conference that our institutions must be the equal of any to obtain the support of the Methodists of the State ; and that with such equipment, the church be faithful in instructing the people and supporting our institutions. We are under many obligations to four promising young men from Gran ville, Messrs. M. F. Adcock, A. B Kim ball, C. L. Howard and T. C. Harris, for a unique and attractive invitation to attend the commencement exercises of the well-1 known Oak Ridge Institute, May 27th and 28th. In the debate between the two So cieties Mr. M. F. Adcock represents one of the debators of Athenian, and Mr. A. B Kimball is one of the managers of the grand occasion. This school is an honor to our grand old State. A Good Appetite Is essential to good health; but at this season it is often lost, owing to the poverty or impu rity of the blood, derangement of the digestive organs, and the weakening effect of the changing season. Hood's Sarsaparilla is a wonderful medicine for creating an appetite, toning the digestion, and giving strength to the whole system. Now is the time to take It. Be sure to get Hood's Sarsaparilla.

THE FARMERS' ALLIANCE AND INTEREST PROTECTED, ITS WliHt i oinff on ir llft'ereitt Sec tions as Gathered ly( the Public Ledger Reporter View of Corres pondent. Ac. BEREA BREVITIES. Our farmers are anxious to see rain as the land is dry and hard. Geneva church is without a preacher since the death of Dr. Atkinson of Ral eigh. We are glad to say that Squire Wm. Daniel and Mr. W. H. Gordon are im proving rapidly. Elder J. S. Dameron, a Primitive Bap tist minister from Ruffin, N. C, preached at Tar River church a few days ago. Messrs. Isham Daniel, of Atlanta, Ga., and J. K. Daniel, of Atlanta, Texas, have been spending some time at the bedside of their sick father, Mr. Wm. Daniel, Esq. They are clever young men and we congratulate them on their success in their respective homes. WHETSTONE WHIFFS. Miss Mary Frazier is on a visit to Miss j Lizzie Leach, of Oxford. Messrs. B. F. Frazier & Bros, now have in their full stock of spring goods, which are being sold low down. Our farmers aie greatly in need of rain as the ground is so hard they cannot plow. Tobacco plants are looking well. We see nearly every day drummers from Oxford and Henderson. It is gen erally understood when you see such men around that tobacco is looking up. Our farmers should raise more stock and grain, and then their corn crib and smokehouse would not be in the West, but as it is now they are the tools of the trust. Snip. BTOVALL SHORT B'lOPS. Mrs. Lucy W. Royster has returned to her home after a few days stay in the country. Mrs. B. I. Holden, of Wake Forest, has returned home after a few days' stay in our village visiting relatives. Stovall is still building up ; there are four or five buildings in course of con struction. We hope soon to have a to bacco factory here. Large quantities of fertilizers are being sold here. Mr. T. W. Stovall, a large dealer in that line, tells us his trade is better than ever before. Some of our citizens are making ar rangements to attend the Southern Bap tist Convention which will meet with the first Baptist church of Birmingham, Ala., on the 8th. Glad to see Col. R. O. Gregory, of Ox ford, on our streets a few days ago. The Colonel is looking well and has been hav ing some fine sport fishing during the past week. Revs. Joseph Rennie and Alexander Sprunt were here a few days ago and held a meeting in the Presbyterian church in the interest of foreign missions. They gave us very fine sermons. Mr. Smith, district lecturer for the Farmers' Alliance, lectured here last week. Capt. A. S. Peace, of Oxford, was on hand and gave us a fine speech. The Alliance here has a large membership and is in a thriving condition. Grip. BULLOCK BREEZES. Rain is greatly needed in this section of the country. Misses Bettie Pittard and Ollie Thomas returned from Oxford this week. Mrs. Lewis E. Amis will meet by ap pointment Mrs. Isabella Charles Davis, of New York, at the State Convention of the King's Daughters, which will convene in Raleigh May 14th, 1891. We were glad to welcome back to the neighborhood Mr. Thomas Faucette, now of Milton. We hoped he had returned to make this his permanent home but hear he will only spend a few days, as he is to see his best girl. Our farmers have finished planting corn and it is coming up nicely. Larger preparations than usual are being made for a tobacco cron, as it is reported that plants will be scarce in other sections of the country. Piant beds here are all suc ceeding well thus far. Madam Rumor says that several of our most charming and attractive young peo ple are to be sacrificed on Hymen's altar ere May flowers have drooped and gone. The writer was honored a few days ag with a card to the marriage of Miss Occie Wilkerson to Mr. Alfonso Royster, of Suffolk, Va., May 6th. Rev. Alexander Sprunt, of Henderson, and Rev. Joseph Rennie, of Oxford, con ducted an interesting meeting at Stovall in the Presbyterian church there on Wed- nesday. These meetings are called April i simultaneous meetings and are ordered j by the Synod of North Carolina for the j purpose of setting the holy cause of for- : eign mission before us in its true light, I and to impress upon us the Importance of ( aiding in this great work. Tbtjmp. 1 MAY 8, 1891. DO i OXFORD DEMOCRATIC. I. ii. Smith. Esa.. Re-Eleefted Maroi hj a Larce Mftjorlty. The gooi old town of Oxford come to the front in great shape under the banner of true Democracy on Monday and elects a full municipal ticket. L. G. Smith, Esq., who is recognized by all the best Mayor that ever presided over the town, was re-elected over Mr. J Iv. Wood by 277 votes. The vote stood : Smith, 324; Wood, 47 Phil Thomas, 10. FOR COMMISSIONERS. A. A. Hicks lead the ticket, receiving 381 votes; J. H. Bullock, 375; A. W Graham, 374; E. G. Currin, 284; R. T Smith, 281 ; R. F. Knott, 281 ; J. S. Brown 291 ; J. J. Paris, 96. Messrs. A. A. Hicks A. W. Graham, John H. Bullock and J. J Paris were endorsed by the Republicans Thomas Charleston, Rep, 107, Cameron Green. 103 and Junius Daniel 103, all the above were colored. We congratulate the citizens of Oxford upon the selection ot the competent and trustworthy gentlemen to manage the affairs of the town, and we feel sure they will do everything within their power to advance the interest and prosperity of Oxford. The Commissioners met Tuesday after noon and elected Mr. George Fleming, Clerk; B. S. Royster, Attorney; S. W Parker, Treasurer; W. T. Lyon, Tax Col lector ; James A. Renn, Chief of Police, and C. B. Leach, assistant. The selection of these gentlemen for their respective responsible positions ill no doubt re ceive the hearty endorsement of the peo pie. A LIMIT TO TAXATION. CoMa Collected Without any Warrant of Law. It is a bounden duty the duty of every citizen to pay taxes, and he who would not willingly do this is unworthy of citi zenship, and a man ought never to wait to be forced into paying his taxes, be cause, it is a certainty, and he mustevent ually pay them with the additional cost of collection added thereto. There is nothing, forsooth, that is more certain than "death and taxes," and a man might just as well look ahead and prepare for for both, as each and every individual share the benefits to be derived from keeping up roads, county institutions, &c. But there are some who cannot pay when due, yet, who are, nevertheless, willing to help bear the burdens of the county, and to all such we wish to remind them of the law of 1889, chap. 218, section 40, line 10, which says : 'A Sheriff or Tax Collector shall be en titled to 50 cents for each actual levy or sare, and 15 cents for advertisement, but in no case shall said sum be collected where no levy or sale, or advertisement has been made." Now, as a great many people have paid the 50 cents, where there has been no levy, advertisement or sale, and the money paid has gone to swell the capital of the tax collectors, Deputy Sheriffs, etc., and altogether illegal, it should be promptly refunded. Sheriff Rogers has added $1 each for lawyer's fees,but we are inform ed that in the three instances where tax payers were charged $1 each for lawyer's fees and paid it, that the money so paid has since been refunded, and to all those who have paid money where there has been neither advertisement, levy or sale, they are entitled to recover the amounts so illegally paid by law. J McCorniick liarvetitiutr Machines. Owen, Barbour & Smith will sell the McCormicK Harvesting Machines this year. They tell us tne McCormick Co. are obliged to make at the rate of one com plete machine every minute of the day in order to supply their world wide demand, the McCormick being almost as well known on the steppes of Russia, the plains of the Danube and in the winter harvests of the Southern Hemisphere Australia, South Africa and South Amer icaas it is here. Messrs. Owen, Barbour fc Smith also showed us the fac simile of the Gold Staats Medaille which the McCormick "Machine of Steel" won at the great Universal Exposition trials held at Vienna last summer. The McCormick catalogue, which, by the way, they keep for gratuitous distribution, is a work of art, and will repay careful reading, while the lithographic po&cer of the historic battle of the Monitor and Merrimac is the j finest thing we have ever seen published. 1 When we take into consideration the fact that the McCormick Co. sold 105,466 ma chines in 18U0 the popularity of their Harvesters and Mowers and the capacity of their mammoth works affords an inter esting subject for contemplation. Slew Store iu the Store Room of the Alliance Warehouse. Having bought the Pearson stock of :- dry goods for much less than cost, we ca gd to sell them at cost and make money.

Sergeant-at-Arms, J. II. Hall, of Hali fax, Va. Dr. D. Ueid Parker in his speech at Henderson said : We believe we are right in this fight. We are here fighting against combines, and we believe we can win. The farmers have made up their minds to settle this thing. They have been delegating men to represent them, but hereafter the far rner would represent himself. The Alliance has buried the hatchet of sectional strife; we have mixed up with the farmer of the North-west and he is all right. We have learned that they are brethren. There are great economic questions to be studied, but we have noth ing to do with party strife. The power Of the people IS in the ballot and we Will USeit. We are for savins- the c.ount.rv. a i i me corporations and combines con - tinue to control the factories, what may W have been planning for this con vention for some time, and while we have the Ameriran Tohnrrn Pnmmnv hnva American lODacco company Rave bought the big factories, and are planning . , , f , iui ukucia, auu even uew may nave me Lorillard factory. They will do for the others what they have done for the cigar ette factories. We are here to take some action in this matter. The intention of this meeting is to save Henderson, Ox ford, Durham, Winston, and all the other tobacco towns from the hands of this American Tobacco Company. It is around vou and we are here to save von. " Ihe proceedings of the body are not made public, but it is understood that vigorous efforts will be made to scotch the Tobacco Trust which has brought about a reduction of the price the farm ers receive for tobacco.
