Miss Fannie Hughes, who has been very sick from a relapse of the gripp for some days, we are pleased to learn, is slowly improving. Mr. & Mrs. James R. AValters, of Tally Ho, and Mr. & Mrs. J. P. Bradsher, of Tar River, were in town Tuesday lay ing in a supply of summer goods. Arrangements are being made for the celebration of St. John's Day, the 24th of June, at the Orphan Asylum.

The children of the Baptist and Meth dist Sunday schools had their annual pic nic on Saturday, and they had a "great big time and all the lemonade you wanted," aa one of the bright-faced little fellows expressed it. Mr. A. Grissom, of Brassfield town ship, brother of Dr. Eugene Grissom, visited Oxford Monday for the first time in nine years. He found that a great many changes had taken place in town during that time. Everybody is looking these hard times for rare bargains, and the immense store of A. Landis & Sons is undoubtedly the place just now to secure them. It will be money ia your pocket to call on these gentlemen and take advantage of the op portunity. Mr. D. N. Hunt, who fell off a bicy cle last week and broke his collar bone, has so far recovered as to be able to go to his home near Salem. Mrs. Hunt spent several days with him in Oxford, which was no doubt the cause of his rapid im provement. Rev. Dr. J. S. Wakins, of Raleigh,and Rev. Alex Sprunt.of Henderson, installed Rev. Joseph Rennie as pastor of the Pres byterian Church on Sunday morning at the Opera House. In the afternoon Dr. Watkins preached an eloquent sermon to a large and appreciative congregation. Another copy of the stubs of receipts of the direct taxes to be refunded to North Carolina will have to be taken at Wash ington before the record will be complete and the copyists are in that city now at work on them. The amount to be paid out in this State is over $400,000, and the United States Treasurer's check for that amount is now on deposit in Raleigh. The ladies are especially and most cordi ally invited to call at once on A. Landis & Sons and examine their second stock of millinery goods just received. The flowers are exceeding beautiful and at tractive. Remember that you can now get a lovely hat or bonnet trimmed in the very latest style of the art at bottom fig ures. You should call early before they are all picked over. Register of Deeds Daniel has re ceived from the Department of agricul ture at Raleigh, a number of blank re turns of farm statistics. The law says that each tax lister shall fill such blanks relating to agricultural products as may be furnished by the Commissioners of Agriculture under the same rules and regulations as now govern the listing of taxes and with like compensation.

It is said that the Richmond & Dan ville will resume the old schedule over the O. fc C. Road next Sunday. Through train system from Raleigh to West Point will be discontinued and passengers will change cars at Keysville as formerrly. There is nothing nicer during the hot summer days than to be pleasantly located in a shaded country home with the table well supplied with all kinds of fresh veg etables and fruits. We ask you to read the advertisement of Mrs. Louis Amis in another column. Mr. V. P. Cozart, son of Dr. W. W. Cozart, of this county, has been offered a position as teacher in the penmanship de partment of Stuart Normal College, Stuart, Va. He is only 18 years old and conceded to be the finest penman and card writer of his ape in the South. We have on our table a very neat in vitation to the commencement of Luray, Va., Female Institute, May 28-31st. The program is the most elaborate of any we have jet received. The accomplished Mrs. Twitty, who is greatly beloved by a large number of our people, is one of the faculty of this fine institution of learning. Oak Rida Institute has enrolled for the scholastic year to close May 28, 301 students. Another new building to cost over $10,000, when completed, has been contracted for by the pinciples. It will be done by the 1st of October. It will be heated by steam and will be one of the best equipped school buildings in the state. The Public Ledger received from J. II.

II. Rice of New York City and the Baccalaureate sermon will be preached by Rev. Dr. Morris of Atlanta Ga. There are thirty-eight young ladies in the gradu ating class, representing several Southern States. We agree with our Adoniram corre spondent and endorse every word he says concerning Capt. A. S. Peace as a most suitable man to fill the vacancy on the Board of County Commissioners caused by the. resignation of Mr. L. G. Smith. We are of the opinion that no faction should control the acts of a Board of Commissioners, and one man power should not be tolerated under any circum stances. Messrs. J. G. Bowling, S. J. Currin, I lay den Crews, A. A. Crews, A. L. Gooch, M. B. Hobgood, O. K. Hester, S. A. Wheeler, subscribed to the Public Led ger this week. That's right gentlemen, come along and assist us in building up a first-class newspaper in Granville instead of sending all your money away for out side papers that do not have any interest in you except to get your money. Pat ronage home first and then outsiders. We ask every good " citizen to aid us in ex tending our circulations and send us the the news.

Mr. Kit Royster, of Bullock, spent Sun day here chatting his test girl. Mr. Ike AVilson spent Sunday in Ox ford with his sister Mrs. R. W. Day. We regret very much to hear of the continued illness of Mr. D. N. Hunt who fell from a bicycle last week. We r.re very sorry to hear that Mrs. A. F. Breedlove who has been very sick for several weeks improves so slowly. Mr. J. A- Royster, of Pitt county, who has been visiting relatives in this neigh borhood, returned horn a few days ago to the regret of his many friends. We were pleased to lee Master Elbert Fuller, of Berea, last Saturday. He told us he expected to spend several weeks with his aunt Mrs. B. I. Breedlove. Misses Mattie and Bjckie Rice accom panied by Miss Iola Gooch spent Friday night with Miss May Breedlove, very much to the delight of some of the boys. Mr. J. R. Cottrell went up to Berea Sunday to see his best girl. No doubt she said yes, from tie pleasing counte nance Jim has been wearing since he came back. Mr. W. T. Hardy, Jr., of Williamsboro, came to our village last week to have some horses shod. Uncle J ask having gone for the mail, Mr. Hardy had to go back home with bare-footed horses. Messrs. Gooch & Green have just re ceived a nice lot of new goods. You would do well to examine their stock be fore buying elsewhere. The genial Al bert Gooch, Jr., will greet you with many smiles. Dexter neighborhood is death on rats. One of our neighbors had a rat-killing in his corn crib a few days ago and killed 38 large ones. One of our neighbors had the misfortune to have his teeth carried away by a rat. Lasses. BULLOCK BREEZES. Mrs. Thomas Carrington spent several days last week with her brother, Mr. C. Watkins, of Buffalo Springs. Mr. Thomas A. Watkins, of Glasgow, Va., was in the neighborhood last week on business connected with his farm here. The no fence law has been a most un. popular law in this community ever since it was first discussed, and since we have tried it we agree with the man who re marked that "he had always had a horror of a mother-in-law and a sister-in-law, but the most hateful law to him was the one called the no fence law, for it brings out all the smallness and original sin in man." It was not the intention of Trump to infringe on the rights of any one, or to invade the territory ot Adoniram, but really there have been so few communi cations from that point during the last eight or ten months, that I was afraid that no report would be given of the ele gant entertainment, of which Adoniram niay be justly proud. Trump Is penitent now, but will not promise to refrain in future, unless X will honor us with more frequent communications from that sec tion. Rev. Carr Moore, of Townesville, has for years cherished a wish to be the pas tor of a field which supports a missionary in a foreign land, so he proposed to his four churches, Nut Bush, Grassy Creek, Oak Hill and Shiloh to aid him in send ing a young man to China. Although the proposition was a new and sudden one to the people of Shiloh on last Sabbath, still in five minutes time $115.00 were raised for this glorious enterprise of spreading the Gospel of Christ in foreign lands. The other churches responded as liberally, for over $600.00 were promised, the sum required to support a missionery in China for a year. Would that every man, woman and child in Granville coun ty could have heard Rev. Mr. Moore's sermon on Sunday from the text "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." I am sure they would be awakened to greater zeal and activity in the cause of Christ. God richly bless our pastor in his great and noble work among us. Thump. ADONIRAM ARTICLES. Seeing the enquiry in your last issue signed X, wishing to know what had be come of Rex, you shall hear from me this time by way of explanation. And then I shall enjoy the correspondence from Adoniram much more than 1 do at pres ent. If I am correct in guessing who X is the news from this grand old place will be so much better and more interesting. I gladly agree for X to fill the place. Our town is so very quiet and all the neighbors so kind and peaceable we have had nothing of any consequence to report. Our children have enjoyed the best privileges of attending good schools and do not handle pistols or do not kill or wound each other, and we never have any scandals or sensational news to report. Mr. John W. Rhodes, of Spikesburff, i keeps us all from having the blues with i.o. - r the bright prospect of commencing at a 1 1 very early date to mining iron ore on his place at a big profit. We hope the Alliance will commence the manufacture of cigarettes soon and burst the everlasting tobacco trust, and then we will go ahead without an excuse. Our farmers are busy planting tobacco. Tobacco crop will not be as large as 1890; wheat will be better than was first ex pected ; owing to the recent rains spring sowing of oats almost a failure ; corn crop will be late as many of our best farmers have just finished planting; our farmers generally' are getting along well ; do not hear as much talk of hard times as we used to. Your old correspondent Rex is exper imenting in farming this year and en joys reading the letters in your valuable paper, and will certainly be glad to hear from X at Adoniram. Hope he will watch us all and give us good advice as he is fully capable to do until the fall ot 1S92 and then we intend to try to have the Legislature composed of school teach-; ers, lawyers, doctors and merchants. We want no more farmer's laws. Rex. What is the t'-ouble with this tiller ori the soil, that he should be so dissatisfied with the work of the farmer's Legisla ture ? Ed. A. S. PEACZ FOIt COMM SSIONER. In your last issue we see a communi cation from this section recommending A. S. Peace for commissioner. We de sire to add a few words to what was there said. A. S. Peace is not only the choice of this section, but he ought to be of the whole county . The time has come when we need men to fill our offices who have principle, information, judgment and con victions, and who have backbone enough to do their duty when they see it. He is a man who would find out, if he did not know, the needs of the county, and then no outside influence or faction could move him to do anything but right. Besides A. S. Peace has been battling for the principles of Democracy since manhood almost without compensation. His speeches have done as much good in this county as any man's and it would be but a just recognition of these facts if the magistrates will unanimously elect him to fill the place so long and ably filled by L. G. Smith, resigned. A. S. Peace will please us all. X. Resolutions of Respect. The following preamble and resolu tions were passed by the Oxford Baptist Sunday-school upon the death of J. A. Cannady : Whereas, God, in his all-wise provi dence, has seen lit to remove from our midst our true, beloved and much re spected scholar and future student, J. A. Cannady, in order that we may fitly ex press our sincere and unfeigned sorrow for his early demise, and heartfelt sym pathy for his bereaved parents, be it, therefore, resolved, 1st, That in the loss of our deceased member, we bow submissively to the will of our Almighty Father. 2d, That in the death of our beloved brother we do realize a heavy and severe misfortune, and that his departure from our midst has left a vacancy which time can never fill, an affection which age can never efface. " 3d, That the respect and admiration which his generous deeds and kind words secured, were strengthened by his con stancy aad firmness in times of tempta tion, and that his memory will ever be cherished by his teacher and fellow-students as one not ashamed of his love for Christ. 4th, That we extend to his stricken family our heartfelt sympathy for their great loss, and point them to the Giver of every good and perfect gift for comfort in this their hour of affliction. 5th, That as a token of our respect and sorrow the name of the deceased shall each Sunday continue to be called with the roll so long as the school term shall last. 0th, That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the family of the deceased, and to the Biblical Recorder and Public Ledger with request to publish them and that they be spread upon the records of the school.

The Supreme Court of North Carolina has rendered a decision against selling liquor in club houses An association was formed in Raliegh, N.

At least seven companies of the regiment, numbering about 300 men, will come. The Durham Globe reports that the great Blackwell Durham Bull tobacco manufactory has been sold to the Ameri can Tobacco Co. and that by it nearly a thousand people are thrown out of work. If the sale has been made and the great business is to be removed or closed, it will be a damper upon Durham and a v:ry poltive loss to North Carolina Albert Sabberth a young man about 24 years of age, while engaged in coupling cars on the yard of the Western N. C. rail road last Friday night, was caught be tween the bumpers of two cars and crush ed to death. It was found on examination of the body that a long Key which the young man had in his pocket had been driven endwise into his thigh, severing the femoral artery, causing internal hem orrhage. Young Sabberth, while on a trip to Salisbury recently was converted under the preaching of Evangelist Fife. R EV. J. M. HOK5KR Ordained at Henderson hy Risliop Lyman on Sunday Last. For some time past the matter of the ordination of Rev. J. M. Horner, one of the most cultured young clergyman in the State, has been looked upon by some of our people as an important event. Rev. Mr. Horner is a highly gifted minister. We doubt if there is a young man in the State connected with either diocese of greater modesty or of more thorough scholarship. His sermons give evidence of much thought and learning, and naturally his friends felt a deep in terest in the ordination ceremonies which took place at Henderson on Sunday in the church of the Holy Innocents. This splendid edifice was filled as was antici pated by a very intelligent audience who felt the liveliest interest in the solemn rites. At the appointed hour it was quite a beautiful scene as the chorister boys of the Church of the Good Shepherd, Ral eigh, in white attire entered the chancel preceding Bishop Lyman and the attend ant Clergy, Revs. Woodson Walker, of Oxford, J. E. Ingle, of Henderson, A. B. Hunter and Vv . Walker. The Revs. A. B Hunter, of Raleigh.and W. Walker, of l'ittsboro, conducted the morning services. The Bishop preached an eloquent sermon, presenting the doc trine of Apostolic succession with great ability. He spoke like one whose con viction were strong and sincere. His pe roration consisted of an earnest and ap propriate admonition to the candidate for the Priesthood, Rev. J. M. Horner. The solemn questions were answered by the candidate and the usual laying of hands by the Bishop and the four priest. The scene was altogether observed with great interest and was an impressive one. We predict for Rev. J. M. Horner a career of great usefulness and success. The Poor House. The spirit of the age now demands bet ter food, better clothing and better ac commodation for the poor of the county than formerly. We have no complaint to make about the present superintendent of the poor house. We presume that he is doing what he can for those who have been un fortunate and are now in the care of the county by reason of their poverty. We however think this is a matter of suffi cient importance to engage the attention of the Magistrates and Commissioners at the meeting in June. It seems to us that it might be well to have a committee of discreet men to go and see about this matter, so that if anything is needed to make the inmates comfortable it may be attended to.
