Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Feild visited Richmond, Va., this week. Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Lassiter, Jr., had another sou Iwrn unto them last week. The work on the residence of Mr. W. H. Hunt in South Oxford is progressing rapidly. Mr. J. M. Currin has on his farm near town 100,000 tobacco hills as large over as your hat. Messrs. W. S. Lyon and S. Latta, of Beres, and A. B. Montague, dropped into see us on Wednesday. We are glad to learn that Miss Fan nie Hughes, who has been real sick for some weeks is now rapidly improving. The State Chronicle Is now an 8-page paper, well gotten up, full of news, and is a credit to North Carolina Journalism. Some ot our young Misses are suf fering with aching hearts on account of the departure of their "best Horner boy." The Federal Court grand jury at Ral eigh failed to find a true bill against Dun can Keith of this county for illicit distill ing. We neglected to state last week that all the freight trains on the Oxford & Clarkesville road now have passenger coaches. Rev. R. F. Bumpass Is now enjoying a visit from his sister, one of the accom plished teachers of Greensboro Female College. A. W. Graham, Esq., who was con fined to his home several days with bil ious fever, is out again and will be found at his office. A few days ago the horse of Dr. L. C.

Eatman, who stuck a nail in his right foot last week, from which he has been suffering very much, is now able to be out again. Our esteemed young friend, Mr. Crawford Biggs, has returned from Chapel Hill. He won several honors during the past session and looks none the worse for hard study. Mr. D. G. Deveuish has rented Miss Eliza Pool's residence, and Is having a room added to it in the rear. As soon as completed Mrs. Denvish and the children will remove from High Point to Oxford. We assure our country friends that we highly appreciate the many kind ex pressions of confidence In the Public Ledger, and hope by strict adherence to duty continue to merit their patronage and esteem. We congratulate the young men of Oxford who were students at the Horner School upon the stand they took the past session, and that at the next session we hope they will enter with the determina tion of achieving greater success. Col. O. M. Rogers had the misfortune to be severely kicked by a horse on his plantation last week. The full force of the lick struck the Colonel in the face, bruising it up to considerable extent. The only inconvenien3e he suffers is hav ing a bruised face which will soon disap pear. We had a most pleasant visit on Sat urday from Mr. Thos. J. Pittard, one of the leading citizens of Northern Gran ville. He is a thorough gentleman of the old school and naturally believes in mak ing everything at home, ana Is not in ac cord with the present system of sending money away to get something to eat. We learn that a prominent merchant of this county has not been absent from his business but twice in 15 years, and has not visited Oxford but once in sev eral years. The firm of which this gen tleman is a member is recognized as one of the best in Granville, and shows how important it is to attend ''strictly to busi ness." We regret to learn that death has claimed as its own the soul of Mrs. Jessie Carter. She died at Stem on Monday in the G6th year of her age, and was a mem ber of the Methodist church 40 years. She was kind and benevolent. A devoted husband and four children are burdened with sorrow over the loss of wife and mother. The cartoon In a recent date of the Progressive Farmer was a good one.

Hays, Buck Currin, Prof. F. P. Hobgood and J. M. Currin are at tending Wake Forest commencement. President Winston, of the State Uni versity, was the guest or his brotheri Judge Winston, several days this week. We stated last week that the poll tax in Oxford township for road purpose was 23 cents. It should have read 33 cents. The handsome Miss Lizzie Hobgood and the graceful Miss Annie Powell are smiling sweetly at Wake Forest this week. J . R. Couch & Co. have made their store present a better appearance by re painting the front and the counters on the inside.

He will re turn to the State and be placed in durance vile some years. We would be pleased to number Tar Heel, at Green, among our regular cor respondents, as that section is one of the most prosperous in the county. Send the news right along and let the people know what you are doing. Miss Mattie Rountree left Tuesday for Wake Forest commencement, and will go from there to her home in Kin ston. We wish thi3 accomplished young lady a most delightful vacation and a safe return to her duties at the Oxford Female Seminary in September. Capt. John A. Williams as one of the delegates on the part of the Southern States has gone to Washington to invite President Harrison and his Cabinet to visit the Southern Exposition at Raleigh at such time during the months of Octo ber and November as may suit their con venience, and to address the people of the Southern States. Hon. A. II. A. Williams and Col. H. G. Cooper were also in the party. Colored excursionists from Durham and Danville met at Clarksville on Mon day and during the day a general fight ensued. It did not take them long to do up the constable with a blow side of the head with a rock, and he was taken home for repairs. During the battle between the rival excurtionists pistols,rocks,clubs, razors, and fists were used. When the fight ended seven were found to be slighly wounded by pistol balls, while a large number were cut and bruised up in all kinds of manner and shapes. The women participated in the battle. The Danville crowd won the battle. Blood diseases are terriole on account of their loathsome nature, and the fact that they wreck the constitution so com pletely unless the proper antidote is ap plied. B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) is composed of the true antidote for blood poison. Its use never fails to give satis faction. Thousands of children die under the age of five years. Why? Physicians at tribute it to various causes, and have a vocabulary of infantile diseases too nu merous to mention. Worms! Worms! Shriner's Indian Vermif use will kill them and restore the child.

RAPID STRIDES MADE IN EDUCATING YOUNG MEN. Oxford Still Holds Her Own as an Ed ucational Centre Her Schools Tan not be Surpassed Medals Presented. A v., A c. Oxford can boast of many advantages that are generally to be desired, but among those she has, nothing arouses her pride with more ardor than her ex cellent institutions of learning. She has long been recognized as a great educa tional center and it is a matter of notori ety not only among the people living in this section but throughout the State, and indeed throughout other States, that the Horner Classical School in real merit and the character of the work which it has ever done and is still doing, occupies a pre-eminence In efficiency over other schools of similar character. This may seem fulsome and extravagant but we feel that we are warranted in making this claim. It is only necessary to follow the boys who attend this school to the different colleges which they may enter and observe the high distinction for pro gress and proficiency in their studies to find proof in substantiation of the asser tion of its superiority. At the commencement which took place in Oxford on Thursday and Friday nights the exercises were particularly in teresting and impressive. The boys in their gentlemanly deportment and manly bearing showed that they were not only composed of good material but that they had enjoyed the benefits of skillful train ing, thus reflecting credit equally upon themselves and their teachers. The address before the Franklin Liter ary Society on Thursday night was de lievered in an earnest and attractive style by the Hon. Harry Skinner. The Opera House was packed with a large concourse of lovely Misses, beautiful ladies, mat ronly dames and the chivalry of Oxford, supplemented by many strangers, who were In attendance to regale themselves at one of those intellectual feasts that uniformally characterize the commence ment scenes of the Horner School. We shall not essay to follow the gifted Skin ner in attempting to reproduce his thoughts clothed in beautiful language and polished with rhetorical elegance. The audience was a notable one in point of intelligence, and we rather incline to the opinion that it will be years before Col. Skinner will again address a public assembly of such discriminating literary taste. At the conclusion of his speech he was the recipient, at the hands of one of Oxford's fair daughters, of a handsome bouquet ol choice flowers. The following night the declamation exercises were exceedingly interesting and well rendered. The contest for the orator's medal was vigorous and hotly contested. Some of the declaimers quite excelled themselves and by their superior voices, graceful jesticulation and fine dis play of eloquence frequently elicited loud outbursts of applause. While only one medal was offered it was the domi nant idea with many that there was not less than six boys who were entitled to it, but there being but one medal for the best orator of course it was an impossi bility fcr more than one cadet to have re ceived it. The judges were Rev. W. W. Walker, Rev. R. F. Bumpass, Dr. J. M. Hays, Dr. J. E. Wyche and Judge R. W. Winston, and they decided in favor of T. C. Leak, Jr., of Rockingham, Richmond county. When the announcement was made that he was the victor the demon stration of delight on the part of the au dience knew no bounds. The cadets who had engaged in honorable rivalry to se cure it, and had just a moment before seen their aspirations thwarted, ingenu ously participated in the general applause. Masters Hollis Winston, Roland Hart, G. W.Hundley and W.J.Bellamy recited their pieces in admirable manner. In fact every one are to be congratulated upon their success. THE DELIVERY OF MEDALS AND THE FLAO. We give below the names of the lucky cadets whose hearts were made glad by the awarding to them gold medals as trophies of their triumphs. We give the names as follows : The essayist's medal was presented to F. L. Carr by Capt. B. S. Royster ; the debater's medal to J.N. Pruden by A. A. Hicks, and the orator's medal to T. D. Warren by Rev. W. W. Walker. The essaj'ist's medal was delivered by the talented young gentleman of the Ox ford bar, Capt. B. S. Royster. It is need less to say that he did this in a manner that met the expectations of the audience, which is tatamount to saying that he ac quitted himself most creditably. As will be seen above Mr. A. A. Hicks, in a pleasant and felicitous manner, as was conceded by all, delivered the de bater's medal. The orator's medal was then presented by Rev. Woodson Walker, the felicitous and inimitable deliverer of medals and prizes on commencement occasions. He is always en report with his auditors at such a time, and his auditors are equally en report with him. W are justified in this compliment by the hearty applaiiie which he invariably evokes. It mstt rs not whether Mr. Walker is assigned ;to the pleasant duty of delivering a ; snle medal or any number he fills the rt5qiife ments with undoubted success, as ajc' n sequence he delivered in bulk the foilifw ing: The gold badge for the best drilled cadet to A. R. Usry, Oxford ; S. W. Miiyr, Oxford, the medal for best writing; F,L. Carr, Castoria, for second best; F. E. llir ham, Granville county, third best, andR. E. Lee, Clinton, fourth best. j The gold medal offered by Coi. , tin S. Cunningham, of Person, for the jbjest essay on the life and character of; i4n. Robert E. Lee, was won by Darius cat man, of Oxford. j j The contest for the flag between' Qrl A and Co. B was very exciting. The: dic tators as well as the cadets were fjljjed with enthusiasm. Both sides exl.it ljed so much proficiency that it was kn!ovn that the question could only be daciqed by great skill and alertness and cobsie- quently intense interest was awakfjied because the flag was a precious gue?(fcn that both companies were eagerly a;i- tions to secure. The rivalry thoughjof the most earnest and ardent character! ft no sting behind, but was manlfAly yielded by the defeated company wth becoming propriety and grace, i heflid dress of presentation of the flag was rji .de by our distinguished friend Judge: Hu ston, who in eloquent style made a speich which though of only a few monieiats length was listened to with marked a'jin tion. ; At this juncture the talented Rev. JM. Horner stepped to the front of the f;tge and read the names of the young geje pie men entitled to distinctions and spial mention for work and behavior di rjng the session just closed. q The Messrs. Horner are now puttlr. up an immense school building which fill accommodate 100 additional boys, (ind will be completed in a few months. rjThe next session will commence the finite of September. This school is so well ki;J wn all over North Carolina that it needn no words of commendation from us. ffWe however take the liberty of congratulat ing the able managers upon the grea? Suc cess of the session just closed. 1 1 A Correction. ! j We regret that we overlooked onjfj of the special features of the closing :er cises of the Oxford Female Seminaill in our last issue. We say special feS;ure because when two young ladies; rudy hard to attain high distinction inftieir classes they certainly should be encour aged. I In mentioning the presentation of ned als we overlooked the fact that VIiss Lonie Currin, the amiable aud attjrfitive daughter of Mr. J. M. Currin, ami JMiss Eva Minor, daughter of Capt. j if. V. Minor, who possesses many accoi'rjlish ments, were presented medals for ccel lence in music, and received special nen tion for the high stand they had taikln in their classes. These young ladiejwill no doubt become bright gems in tfpf mu sical world, and be the means of bringing joy and happiness to many a lovir of good music. 91aj. A. S. Lanier. A Washington correspondent say s 'Mr. Lex Lanier, of Oxford, is here. Hej? will travel extensively for a large insurance house, with headquarters in this cft. Ho says his District expects great things of Hon. A. II. A. Williams." Mr. If nier left Oxford a few days ago to consitfer an offer made him by a reliable imnauce company but has not yet practically ac cepted the position. Maj. L. is oe of our most promising young men,' isjill of tact and energy, possessing splendi f bus iness qualifications and the cotnpan j will do well to secure the services of t:is es timable young gentleman. He wts or a long time assistant postmaster unde Mr. J. A. Taylor, serving the govejrnent with great acceptability. Ever smc that time he has been in the Register of ;Laeds' office and has been a great lever i the admirable manner in which that .ffice has been conducted under the eipcient Jeff Daniel. The best wishes of j t- host of friends will attend Major Lanijsrjlf he accepts the Important position tendered ' if Mr. Jeff Daniel is now going itffalone and is as accommodating as ever, pile is a good officers and is serving the people faithfully. jjj Death of Mr. O. V. Farrar. ' f Mr. O. C. Farrar, of tbe wealthie; men in Tarboro, and certainly one its j most liberal and charitable citizens, died at his home in that place on Thursday o last week. The Mirror says be built ;t his own expense a leautiful Baptist Qfurch, and while preparations were beipjmade to dedicate it to the service of Gr, the Messenger of death summoned hlafStohis eternal reward, and among the fiiij; ser vices in that temple of worship, vhich his generosity had erected, was a iseling tribute to his worth as a man and L;s vir tues as a benefactor. He was a brother of Mrs.Mary Tilly ,of this county, to whom he bequeatljsd the plantation upon which she now ?sldea during her life time. I $1.50 NORTH CAROLINA. WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE WITHIN HER BORDERS. A General Epitome of Recent Occur rences Around and Abont Us, From thc"91onjitains to the Sea, as Culled from our State Papers. The affairs of Mr. W. T. Blackwell, of Durham, have been settled up and that depositors were paid 100 cents on the dollar. It Is ascertained that there are 31,000 names of the persons who paid the direct State. The number was at first estimated at 40,000. From all over the cotton section of this State that the damage by the recent cold spells and rains has been so great that the crops this year cannot possibly exceed GO per cent of last year. A special from Scotland Neck says: Roanoke river is very full. The crops are covered in many places and it is thought that they will have to be planted again. Cotton cannot be replanted. Farm-! ers say that it is not too late to plant small peanuts. Mr. William J. Battle, son of Dr. Kemp P. Battle, of Chapel Hill, has won the Morgan fellowship at Harvard University. There are forty competitors. The fellowship is worth $500 a year. Mr Battle two years ago won a scholarship at Harvard. The Federal Court grand jury failed to find a true bill against Mr. E. F. Moore, the President of the broken People's Bank of Fayetteville. This exonerates him, and will set at rest a case before peo ple who have been interested thorough out the Cape Fear section. Ed. Graham Haywood, Esq., a son of the late Col. E. G. Haywood, f Raleigh, died at the Freedman's Hospital in Washington City last week. Until re cently, Mr. Haywood held for years a prominent place in the treasury Depart ment there. He was buried Saturday at the Congressioual Cemetary. Commencements during the past week have been held at the Greensboro Female College, Peace Institute, Charlotte Insti tute, High Point College, Chowan Baptist Female Institute, Salem College, Univer sity of North Carolina, Davis School, Oak Ridge Institute, Elon College, Trinity College and several other smaller Insti tutions. Gen. J. M. Leach, who had long been in failing health, died of dropsy at his home in Lexington Monday morning. He had long been prominent in the poli tics of North Carolina. He was a mem ber of Congress before, during and after the war, was often in the Legislature and was one of the electors for the State at large on the Tilden ticket in 1876. He was a man of ability and large informar tion, and was one of the most original and attractive stump speakers the State has ever known. Mr. A. C. Melke, of Lumberton, who died recently in Asheville, bequeathed large legacies to several of the most pro minent charitable institutions in the State. In his will he leaves twenty-five thousand dollars to Wake Forest College it to be use as a part of the endowment fund. He left also fifteen thousand dol lars for the establishment of a first class Baptist school in Lumberton. Six thous and dollars goes to the endowment of a home for the aged and infirmed minis ters. Five hundred dollars was the part left for the Baptist Female University. He also left a large sum to the Baptist Orphanage at Thomasville and other charitable objects. The barn of Joel Gardner, a wealthy farmer living in Pitt county, was set on fire June 5th and while he and his family were trying to extinguish the flames par ties entered his dwelling and took away a trunk containing five or six thousand dol lars. His little girl returned to the house just in time to see them carry away the trunk. Moses Stancil and Bryant Atkin son, col., were arrested. One of them con fessed and the sheriff took him to the place of concealment and found about $3,400. About $1,200, besides several thousand dollars worth of notes, have not yet been found. One hundred and twenty barrels of corn and five bales of cotton were burned. The two negroes arrested were taken from the officer and swung up; but were cut down and one of them made the confeSsion.
