THE PASSING LOCAL EVENTS OF THE DAY. Wtiat Is Transpiring: Around aul About l'i, in Tow m and Connly The movements and DoIum of Peo ple Toil Know. Kte. Mr. A. A. Hicks attended Vance Su perior court this week. Mr. Ernest Amis, of Winston, visited Oxford this week, coming to see his fam ily. After a pleasant visit Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Currin returned from Scotland Neck on Tuesday. Dr. and Mrs. Henderson, of Wilton, were the guest ot Dr. and Mrs. D. C. White on Tuesday. Uev. J. A. Cnnninggim preached at Shady Grove Sunday morning and at night in Oxford to large congregations. W. D. Pallett, who swindled Mr. E. N. Crews, has made arrangements to es tablish a fence factory at Aberdeen, Miss. We direct the attention our readers to advertisement offering for sale the par sonage property of Granville circuit at Tally Ho. Mr. Joe Parharo set out r.O.OOO to bacco plants the latter part of last week. Thousands and thousands were put out in the county. Mr. Willie Routon, the splendid har ness maker, is now with Moore, Day & Co., where he would be pleased to serve his old friends. Mr. J. M. Currin has already trans planted his entire crop of 200,000 to bacco plants. Mr. Chas. Landis has also put out some 50,000. If there is any luck in horse shoes, a good many people are of the opinion it is not when they are fastened to the feet of the horses they bet on; Mr. and Mrs. Wash Currin were in Oxford on Monday. Mrs. Currin re mained in town several days the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Bose Gooch. The infant child of Col. and Mrs. R. O. Gregory died on Friday afternoon and was interred In the cemetery on Satur day. It was only five days old. The latest remedy is goat's blood as a cure for tuberculosis. This seems plausible, for it is well known the goat thinks anything it meets is good for con sumption. She was alone with him and so He might well hug her with impunity. But all results when summoned up showed It was a wasted opportunity. A Landis & Sous in two days last week supplied 150 ladies with new hats and bonnets. We should say that his force of milliners are verily a hustling set of ladies. Mrs. Louis Amis attended the King's Daughters' Convention in Raleigh last week. This branch of noble christian women contributed $412.00 to the Oxford Orphan Asylum. The rain has afforded the farmers a fine opportunity to set out a large amount of plants and the season continues and every tobacco plant large enough will be stuck in the ground. Rev. and Mrs. Woodson Walker, the Misses Gregory and Horner and Mr.John Hall returned home Tuesday from Ashe ville where they had been to attend the Episcopal Convention. The county superintendent of public schools reports that nearl3r all the schools in the country are now closed and the pupils are at work. The attendance has been larger than heretofore. Mr. 8. F. Gardner, who has been ab sent attending the wants of a sick family, is at his post again in the Public Led- oeu office and ready to put all watches out of repair in first-class order. There lives on the plantation of Mr. George Kittrell, in Vance, an old issue free negro that has reached the age 105 years, ana win nuni raouuis wiui as much zeal as he did 30 years ago. J. D. Brooks, Jacob West, Jas. I. Gor don and W. B. Jones, of this county, have been drawn as jurors for the United States Circuit Court, and must appear at Raleigh June 2, at ten o'clock a. m. If you intend to erect a monument to the memory of some loved one Charles A. Goodwin, of Raleigh, seeks your patron age through the columns of the Public LETHiiSii. Read it and send for prices. Mr James Royster, of Bullock, who is now engaged in the cultivation of to bacco in Pitt county, passed through Ox ford on Saturday on a visit to his parents He informed us that tobacco was grow ing finely and that it had been worked out the first time. Mr. John W. Markham, who has a store in Oxford as well as Durham, was married on Wednesday last to Miss Addie Cheek of Orange county. The ceremony took place at the home of the bride's parents, Rev. J. N. Booth officiating. We wish them great joy and happiness. Mr. A. F. Smith, of Tar River Acad emy, called to see us Thursday and re ported that a hail storm passed over his section Wednesday afternoon, doing but little damage. Supreme Court decided the follow ing cases from Granville: Williams vs Neville, no error. Davis vs. Davis, no error. Rogers vs. Bank of Oxford, modi lied and affirmed. The weather permitting the Sunday schools of the Presbyterian and Metho dist churches will pic nic to-morrow. The Methodists will go to Shelton's creek and the Presbyterians to Ciarksville. Jeff Daniel, Granville's Register of Deeds, who is no less courteous than pro ficient, likes for things to present a nice appearance, and with his usual energy, he has overhauled his office and gotten it up in fine shape. The Trustees of Wake Forest Col lege have received from Mr. J. H. Bos tick, of Brooklyn, New York, $13,325 for the additional endowment to that college which places the total of recent donations made up to $-10,000. We are under obligations to Cadets Wade H. Britt, and F. A. Cheatham for a beautiful invitation to attend the com mencement exercises of the noted Davis Military School at Winston, on the 28th of May inst. Mr. W. E. Dorsey is one of the marshals. Mr. W. B. Adcock, of Oak Hill, paid us a visit on Wednesday, leaving a $1 50 in order that we might supply him with the county news for one year. He says everybody in his country now will be walking half bent and back ache will be the prevailing epidemic. The Modern Barn Company are now turning out 10,000 tobacco sticks per day. Orders now are pouring in from every di rection and thousands are being shipped. The basket department is turning out baskets at a rapid rate, and everything at the factory is certainly on a move. We regret to state that Mr. Dave N. Hunt, while attempting Monday morning to ride a high bycicle in the Farmers' Alliance warehouse was th'rown to the floor in a violent manner breaking one of his collar bones. Mr. II. will in all probability have to stay in bed for a week or more. The Public Ledger returns thanks to the great and only Dr. B. F. Dixon for a very neat and tasty invitation to the closing exercises of the well-known Greensboro Female College, May 26th, 27th and 28th. The Baccalaureate Ser mon will be preached by Rev. W. W. Bays, D. D., and the Literary Address by Gen. R. B. Vance. Elsewhere appears a notice from Mr. Alex J. Feild stating that he is prepared to collect the Direct Land Tax for all those holding claims, whether they have their receipts or not. Mr. Feild has put himself to some trouble and expense in preparing himself for the speedy and sat isfactory transaction of this business, and we have no doubt but that all those plac ing claims in his hands will be thor oughly satisfied. Mr. B. F. Hester, a committee ap pointed to secure an architect to get up plans for the improvements of the court house, is making as rapid progress as possible. Mr. II. is determined to secure the best and cheapest plan for improve ments according to the amount allowed by the Board of Magistrates. We are satisfied the work will be well and eco nomically done under the supervision of this most trustworthy citizen. We are much gratified to have in our town for a short sojourn the talented Mr. John W. Hays, Jr., who has severed his connection with U. S. Geological Survey, as will be seen froinWsshington News on another page. Mr. Hays has attained to high eminence as a civil engineer and ranked among the best in the service. He is also gifted with his pen and has con tributed quite a number of very interest ing articies to some of the leading papers of the country. The poem In Memoriam to the mem ory of Mrs. Sarah A. Elliott by Dr. J. M. Hays, of Oxford, has been the theme of much praise because it expressed in fe licitous terms the sentiments of the many friends of the deceased whose name is held here in the highest esteem, and de servedly so for she was a woman of great usefulness in the community and deserved the beautiful anil handsome eulogy which has attracted so much attention and been so much admired for its noble sentiments. Rheumatism Is undoubtedly caused by lactic add In the blood. This acid attacks the fibrous tissues, and causes the pains and aches In the back, shoulders, knees, ankles, hips and wrists. Thousands ol people have found in Hood's Sarsaparilla a positive cure for rheumatism. This medicine, by its purifying action, neutral izes the acidity of the blood, and also builds up and strengthens the whole body. Some kind friend has reported In the country that J. E. Tyler is going out of flue and tin business, but the fact remains Tyler Is better fixed than ever, to do your work. Full stock of wagons. mayl5. Owen, Barbour & Smith. A MODEL FARMER. He Sell from n Dozen Effga np to a Horse Every Year. A few days ago in c ompany with Capt A. Landis, the prince f merchants, we enjoyed the hospitality of one of Gran ville's most successful and intelligent far mers, W. M. Black well, Esq. This gen tleman is now 80 years old with but few gray hairs in his head, and still gives his personal supervision to his farm. He makes farming pay in spite of the trust and indeed he is far above the trust in his independence, for while he has al ways been prospsrous in his business, and has laid aside a competency, he makes his own supplies and sells something of al most everything that is raised on the farm to use his own language "from a dozen eggs up to a horse every ye&r." He makes a good tobacco crop, also handles it well and gets the best market prices, but it is by judicious cultivation and practical common sense that he makes a surplus of all crops and thus demonstrates that farming on the right basis pays in this highly favored county. He and his wife have been living at their present home 40 years, and they are cheerful and happy and hospitable to a marked degree. School Coninieneementtt.

Mnrringe in fishing? Creek. On Wednesday evening, May 13th, the residence of our greatly esteemed friend Mr. S. W. Dickerson, was the scene of a happy nuptial between Mr. Noah Long mire and Miss Delia Dickerson, Esquire H. A. Taylor tieing the gordian-knott.

Brum mitt and Miss Carrie Dickerson; J. C. Dickerson and Miss Emma Longmire; Jonah Breedlove and Miss Addie De ment; L. H. Longmire and Miss Corilla Dement. Immediately after the cere mony the wedding party left for the home of the groom where a fine supper had been prepared in honor of the great occa sion which was highly enjoyed. Our best wishes go with the . happy couple through life. Cutting: and Shooting Affair. Las Thursday a difficulty occurred at Lyonville, on the Oxford fc Clarksvllle Railroad, between Ephrain Mangum and Nick Goss in which the former was se verely cut about the face and neck by a pocket knife in the hands of Goss, and the latter drew his pistol, firing two shots, one taking effect in the wrist of Goss and the other ball entering his abdomen and passing through his liver lodging near the backbone. The trouble arose from an attempt by Goss to force Mangum to marry his sister, as, it Is said, he promised to do, but fail ing to reason the matter satisfactorily with him Goss goes to carving Mangum, and he was cut twice before he (Mangum) pulled out his pistol, but when he did he . fired with the result as above men- tioned. TT tr this writinc Mantrum is at large and Gosa is in a critical condition. Col. Bnrgwyn Exonerated. Mr. Hall, the detective who has i rured conspicuously in tfie Burgwyn-Jfnkins case and was imprisoned in Hen erson for false arrest of Col. Burgwyn a d al leged defamation of character, has pub lished two cards, one in News and obser ver and one in the Atlanta Constitution, vindicating in full Col. Burgwyn, show ing he was not in the least guilty f the charges brought against this honor cit zen of North Carolina. Col. Buvgwyn withdrew his procecution and Mrj Hall was reieasea ana is now at ins in ne in Atlanta. Sudden Death ol Mr. H. V. Turner, Our community was shocked on jfhurs day morning by the sudden death cf Mr, H.C. Turner, a worthy mechanic who was employed by Mr. J. A. Hall In his harnoss shop. He arose about six ciclock and went out on the back portp to get a drink of water and started blck In the room when he was taken withlhem orrhage of the lungs and expired icja few minutes. He was a quiet good cftizen, and had made many friends in Oxford, and leaves a wife and two children. He was a native of Harnett county and had reached his 44th year. The sympathy of our people go out to the family in this their sudden affliction. Our Sfw Railroad. The Wilson Mirror says: Nashville is a pretty place. In the midst of the to bacco hills, not far from the celebrated Mann & Arrington Gold Mines, wirh tim ber hind abundant and cheap, arable land easy to cultivate, productive and Remu nerative to the laborer, it ought to 'invite capital an 1 enterprise, and we are g-iad to learn that enquiry is tending to encourage the hope that the day is not far distant when Oxford people will be in more im mediate communication by the construe tion of the Oxford & Coast Line Rtjlroad by way of Louisburg, Cedar Rocjc and Castalia, which opens up a most valuable territory now cut off to railroad facilities. The Industrial Convention. The industrial convention at Raleigh we learn was a success. It was composed of a body of active business men of in telligence who are organizing to secure the development of the resources ot the Old North State. Gov. Holt and other distinguished men took an active part in the proceedings. A plan of procedure was mapped out and much good is ex pected to flow from the work of the con vention. As Granville has a great deal to be proud of we hope to see the good results come to our county. Gov. Holt will ap point some one to go before our Countj Commissioners and Board of Magistrates the first Monday in June to get up statis tics of the resources of the county, and every citizen in the county is interested in this matter. The speech of Capt. John A. Williams before the convention was a splendid ef fort, showing up in a marked degree the many advantages that Granville pos sessed. The East Work I. O. O. I".

Mr. O'Brien onlv paid out $10.00 for extra labor in the cultivation of his crop. This is a splendid showing, and we trust our people will follow the example of I this young farmer and be sure to make enough to eat at home to keep them out of the smoke houses and corn cribs of the I West. recommend Shriner's Indian v-VSelr practice a. a superior article for destroying and expelling worms.

I The Snow Process of Curing: Tobaceo Smoking: Tobaceo Factory to be ' Built and Put iu Operatieu at Early Date. '1 here is one establishment here of great significance as regards the future ot Oxford saya The Day. It Is an enterprise of the most momentous importance to the farmers in all of the agricultural dia tricts of this country where tobacco It- cultivated. We refer to the works of the Modern Tobacco Barn Co. The Modern Tobacco Company is be coming familiarly know throughout the civilized world for its intrinsic invention which marks a new era in the proper cur ing and preparation for market of one of the greatest of American staples. Capt, Snow confidently puts the challenge be fore the world to make a crucial test of the many advantages which he affirms that are secured by his process. It is perfectly natural that he, as the pioneer in placing within reach of the farmers a new method by which they can save a large per cent, in the number of pounds of their tobacco as well as in the enhancement of the price, should en counter imitators In various sections of he country who claim that their inven tion it as good as the original Snow me thod. Such a course on the part of them in no measure damage the interest of the Modern Tobacco Barn Co., but rather serves to benefit this famous company whose record shines brighter under every fair test to which it is subjected. After months of thought and work Capt. W. H. Snow has succeeded in in venting an improved machine lor man ufacturing tobacco baskets. The Mod ern Tobacco Company can now make better baskets and turn them out three times as fast as before. In an article about the various build ings of the Modern Tobacco Barn Com pany in South Oxford, the Southern To bacco Journal says this concern will erect "a smoking tobacco factory 30x130 feet. This building will carry out the very latest ideas ef Capt. Snow on the question of testing leaf tobacco. The basement will have the same temperature all the year round and hence keep the leaf in right order. In connection with the factory will be a single floor ware house 35x75 feet to be used for handling leaf. It will be provided with bins, un derneath which will be pipes, to keep an even temperature. The leaf will be placed in these bins for keeping and in this building alone the company will be able to handle 200 ,000 pounds of leaf. In the smoking tobacco factory a new gran ulator will be used which will do the work of five ordinary granulators. This is an enormous saving and this company controls this granulator for its own use. It removes all stem and dust, leaving the tobacco entirely free from any foreign substance." The Journal also says: "In a short while fully 100 people will be here who will be regularly employed in the fac tory and 100 more means an increase of 500 to the population of Oxford; and the company is trying to provide houses for them in advance of their com ing. Capt. Snow will build a fine resi dence for himself just above and over looking the entire property." Owen, Barbour & Smith have a full and well selectad stock of hardware, plows and castings. They will appreci ate your trade and deal fair with you. The Colored Orphan Anyluin. The Board of Directors met at the Or phan Asylum on Thursday the 14th inst. More members of the board attended this meeting than any previous one. It was agreed to put another story on the girls dormitory and to build a dormitory for the boys South of the girl's building with 12 rooms in it. The corner stone of new building will be laid on the 4th of July with Masonic ceremonies . Excursion trains will be run from all points in the State and grand time is expected. The Board appointed Rev. W. A. Pa tillo, Hon. II. T. Hughes and H. C. Cogs well, Esq., a committee to arrange for the corner stone, etc., and Rev. R. Shepard, Messrs. Henry Hester and H. C. Cogswell a committee on building. . The prospects of the Asylum is bright. M. C. Kaksom. We are pleased to learn that the Asy lum has taken a new lease of life and great improvements are to be made.
