We also thank them for the economical manner in which they have administered our municipal finances. They show a surplus that reflects credit upon them, and we hope and believe that our town affuirs are in the hands of a highly competent set of Commissioners. Our Mayor needs no word of praise from us. His re-election was a strong endorse ment. Owen, Barbour & Smith have a full and well selectad stock of hardware, plows and castings. They will appreci ate your trade ana deal tair with you. OXFORD'S NEW RAILROAD. IT MUST BE PUSHED FORWARD TO COMPLETION. There Must be Pnsb and Energy dis played if we Expect to Bnild the Road, 3To Lagging About this Matter or We rs id-'lrkl. The friends of this scheme are much encouraged by such articles as we pub lish below from our two esteemed cotem poraries the Wilson Mirror and Rocky Mount Argonaut. By the hearty co-operation of the people through the territory which this road will run the scheme will be a success, and of untold benefit to the people which will be speedily built. .The co-operation i3 imperatively demanded, and we mean the co-operation which pro ceeds from material financial aid, and not all wind as some seem to think. What say those who are interested in securing the advantages of the road ? They should act promptly and liberally: Says the Mirror : "This road will open up a section of Granville, Franklin and Nash counties that is rich, possessing the finest bright tobacco land in the world. It must necessarily be of incalculable benefit to Oxford, as the trade will thus be turned back to Oxford, which she justly deserves. Not only hers by priori ty of possession, and which has beon in tercepted 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 connects with the Wilmington & Weldon road, taking in Franklinton, Louisburg and Springhope with a prospective terminus at Wilson. It will run through the south ern part of Granville in the neighborhood of Wilton, and we feel assured that the people along the line and at Wilson will use every effort in aiding in the success f ul completion of this road." Says the Argonaut: "The voting of $40,000 in bonds for the Oxford & Coast Line Railroad bj. the town of Oxford, shows that our people are In touch with the times, and at last are beginning to realize the grand possibilities of our country. Croakers may say that we are building railroads too fast, but the fact is, that many more railroads are needed, and needed badly, in this section. Although this country has wonderfully developed within the past few years, yet we have only entered upon our wonderful march of improvement. There is no couutry in America capable of supporting a larger population than Eastern North Caaolina. This road will run through a part of our State where probably better returns are realized to the acre, than in any other part of the Union, and which has hereto fore been handicapped for the want of railroad facilities. The construction of this road will give increased momentum to enterprisees throughout the entire section, besides opening up scores of thousand acres which would otherwise remain comparatively undevelped. The precise route is not yet fully de termined, but they can make no mistake if they make their terminus at some point on the Wilmington & Weldon rail road or its branches. We wish the com pany every success and hope our people will heartily co-operate with them in their enterprise. Take Notice. The public is hereby forewarned from harboring or employing Wm. Wilson, a mulatto boy, aged 18 years, son of Henry Wilson, who has left my employ without any cause whatever. J. E. Puckktt. A JVog-ro Prisoner Rescnsd. On Wednesday of last week a negro named Herbert Jones, living with Mr. Milton Hobgood, who lives a few miles from Oxford, had a dispute with Mr. Hobgood and was discharged. Jones whereupon made bold threats that he in tended to shoot Mr. Hobgood as well as burn him out. On hearing of these threats Mr. H. at once swore out a war rant before Justice W. H. Smith against Jones which was placed in the hands of Mr. W. D. Renn, who with the assistance of Messrs. M. and Walter Hobgood, ar rested Jones about 1 o'clock Thursday morning and were on their way to trial. On arriving near James Harris' shop some 15 or 20 men, supposed to be col ored, stepped out of the bushes into the road and without saying a word seized the two Messrs. Hobgood who had Jones tied leading him along while Mr. Renn walked behind leading the horses, and took the prisoner away from them, re marking as they entered, the woods "if you follow us we will put a ball in you." This is a piece of high-handed business and the prisoner should be captured by all means, and those who forcibly took him Irom the officers should be found out and put in jail and made to suffer the penalty of the law for the protection of our people. Adults are subject to worms as well as children; therefore, how important it is that the system should be cleansed of these vile pests, bhriner'a Indian Ver mifuge will do it effectually.

OXFORD FEHALE SKMIJiAKY. j The Conservatory of Hfinic-Prosrjtn of Commencement Exercises j The entertainment at this institution on Friday night last was one long toibe remembered. Every feature of the exfer j cises was marked by good taste, refine ment and culture. The plastic and culti vated hand of Miss Hammie was evident ly visible throughout the whole music display. And the pupils showed that they possessed the inherent talent for ;re ceiving such excellent instruction. J We wish we had the talent to derifict with our pen the beautiful performance in sunh language that our readers could form a vivid conception of the evening's enjoyment to thoss who were so fortu nate as to be present. The piano recital for graduation giyen by Miss Ella C. Ford (who will gradujate and will take diploma at the commerjee ment.) was a grand success. Miss M?rie Dennis, of Enfield, who took the place of Miss Petty, she being called home on ac count of the death of her brother, Miss Eva Minor, of Oxford, Miss Lonie Cur rin, of Oxford, and Miss Kerr, of Yan ceyville, all acquitted themselves with brilliant success, and many were the bou quets that were received by the young ladies which were well earned. The bal cony scene from Romeo and Juliet so beautifully rendered by Miss Lonie Cur rin, of Oxford, and Miss Lucy Kerr, of Yanceyville, defies description and will long leave a deep impression of pleasure on the memory of those who had the ex quisite pleasure of witnessing it. Good work is done at this famous seminary. The corps of teachers could hardly be surpassed anywhere and this school has earned a liberal patronage under the riian agement of Messrs. Penick & Neal bsed on intrinsic merit. Miss Lucy Kerr vbo is so gifted elicited much commendajion of the prominent part she took in the ex ercises, as also did Miss Eva Minor. Hiss Currin, as Juliet, was handsomely attired in pure white, and looked the personifi cation of loveliness. j The closing exercises of this .scnool will commence at the Opera Housls on Friday, the 29r,h, with an Operatta by the primary department, which will no doubt be well rendered by the charming little Misses. On Monday, June 1st, the annual- ser mon will be preached by Rev. Dr. Carter, of Raleigh. ; Tuesday, June 2, Prof. J. Y. Joynr, of Goldsboro, will deliver the Literary -Address at 8 p. m. Wednesday, June 3rd, at 10 a. m. the commencement exercises will take place, and at 8:30 p m. the final concerf and elementary exercises will take plac. Our town authorities have very kindly tendered the Opera House to the piopri etors of the different schools for their use during the closing exercises of their respective schools. This is as it should be. j Karc lsargin iiii.anu. j 1 have 87J acures of good larjd in Brassfield township, adjoining Joln F.

An Exciting Reminiscence the Col- lector Skedaddled. We find that Granville county is en titled to $11,483.20 of the direct tax that was collected from the citizens sooii after the war. This sum we suppose wil go in part to citizens of Vance which vas at the time a part of Granville county! Apropos to this subject of the tax we v.ill cive an incident t direct at is vouched for by one of Oxford's citizens who was an e3'e witness. I A spirited and brave ex-Con ftflerate officer now dead, the late Col. H.Eaton Coleman, then a resident of Granville county', being exasperated at what he thought to be an illegal tax went to the Federal officer while engaged at thp court house collecting taxes from our people, taking with him a friend whom h4 knew to be of undaunted courage (witholit tell ing this friend who accompanied lim his purpose in asking him to go with, him) coolly threw down a pistol on the-collec-tor's table, the Colonel reserving ?ne for himself, remarking at the same time to the aforesaid collector that he coufd take that pistol and defend himself asbe&t he could, or if he preferred not to ifse the pistol he could discontinue the collection of unjust taxes from our people and leave town. I The officer saw in the eye of Cc. Cole man that he was in earnest ancl meant business and accordingly concluded that he would pursue his avocation it some other point. He packed his "dudl" with the celerity of an expert packerf took a hasty meal and left Oxford, neve again to return as the deponent firmly believes. The above statement is no exaggeration. The incident as related is entirely authen tic. !
