THE PASSING LOCAL EVENTS OF THE DAY. What Is Transpiring: A r on ml and About Fn, lit Town and County The Hovpinriits and Itoinira of Peo ple Ton Know. Flc. Mrs. W. C. Currin and son are visit ing friends in Henderson. A large number of our citizens are at Buffalo Springs this week. Henderson is tip with the times. They are going to have a graded school. Messrs. Sid. Bobbitt and Nat. Whit field are hard at work making out the tax list. Dr. It. W. Hobgood, Vice-President of the County Alliance, called to see us Mondaj R. J. Daniel, our jovial Register of Deeds, spent a few days at Buffalo Springs this week. Some old citizens rise to remark that there is a cool spell in every month of the year. Mr. E. W.

R., who has been sick at home, some two weeks, has about gotten well, and will return to his duties in a few days. We anxiously await the fulfillment of Mr. A. W. Graham's promise that work will begin on the Oxford and Coast Line Road within sixty days. Why not com mence sooner ? The magistrates of Salem Township are requested to meet at Dexter, on the first Saturday in August. The overseers of roads must mase reports on that day as something must be done to the roads. J. B. Paruam, Ch'm'n. We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Littleton High School. This is one of the best schools of t!ie kind in the State, and you cannot do better than write Prof. L. G. Bagley, and enter your boy at once. Mr. J.M. Currin tells us that his crop of tobacco is better than it was last year, and that he expects to commence curing in two weeks. He says it takes good fertili zer and plenty of elbow grease to make good tobacco. A. A. Gordon, R. L. Clark, and A. P Murray, of Berea, called to see us on Monday. Mr. Murray was on his way to Greenville, Pitt county, to cure tobacco for Mr. B. F. Patrick, a large farmer of that section. William Slaughter, Monroe Slaugh ter, J. T. Reagan, E. N. Wilkerson, Sim Duncan, John Duncan, and L. P. O'Brien all passed through Oxford on Monday, on their way to Pitt and Edgecombe coun ties to cure tobacco. We hope the sanitary officers of the town will strictly enforce the law, with out fear or favor, as it is a matter of most vital importance to our community that every filthy place should be thoroughly cleansed. Business is business, and health is health ! So enforce the law and make all obey its mandates. Messrs. Horner & Drewry have al readjr received applications from between 85 and 00 boys for entrance into their military school. The work on the fine new building ia rapidly going forward and will be completed in time. We are gratified to note the prosperity of this time-honored school. Look out, ye township committees, who aie entrusted with getting up the exhibit for Granville at the Exposition. Yon must get to work, as October 6th has been named as "Granville County Day." We want to hear something from the work of the committees, and beg them not to put off until the last minute the work of getting up the exhibit. Mr. B . A. Capehart was in Oxford on Wednesday . R. W.

The Wilmington Star says : "Little Oscar Gregory and Frank Taylor made a very nice display as markers of the Third Regiment yesterday afternoon. So far, some 260 applicants have ap plied for the direct tax to Capt. W. A. Bobbitt, and the money is being received by those who have sent on their applica tions. The name of Capt. J. B. Hunter has been suggested as a suitable person to have charge of the county exhibit at Ral eigh during the Exposition if he would accept. There is a protracted meeting now in progress at Bullock Church, conducted by Rev. J. A. Cunninggim. Large con gregations are in attendance, and much interest is manifested. . Congressman Cheatham wants to re present the United States Goveanment in Liberia. He went t see the President about it the other day. Cheatham is the only colored man in the next Congress. Messrs. W. W. Hart, of Oak Hill, W. T. Hunt, of Tally Ho, W. Raker, of Raker City, and Jack C. Howard, of Providence, spent a few minutes with us on Wednes day. They report that about of a crop of a tobacco will be made. Capt. W. H. White is having spleddid success in seiling the great Panacea Wa ter. Hundreds of cases are being sold daily. This water has no equal in this country. If you have not tried it, order several cases at once. While Mr. W. C. Reed, one of our tobacco buyers, was out driving Tuesday morning, his horse became frightened and threw him out against a barbed wire fence, cutting him quite severely. We are glad to learn that his injuries are not serious. Tobacco men shold not forget the meeting of the Association, at Morehead, in August, as it is important that every one interested should attend. Matters of great importance will come up for con sideration. Capt. J. S. Lockhart, of Dur ham, has left nothing undone that will make the meeting a pleasant affair. South Boston, Va., is a go-ahead, lively town, and has a splendid female school, under the management of J. P. Snead, which ranks among the best in Virginia. The corps or teachers are first class, and by placing your daughter at this school, she would naturally receive good training. Read advertisement. Some of our people have, during the past few months, quite buried and resur rected Oxford, but if some of the strang ers who have visited our town lately could have heard them, they would now readily conclude that it was the livliest corpse they have seen in many a day, if building was any sign. Mr. W. A. Davis and Major N. A. Gregory spent Sunday with their families in Oxford, and returned to Richmond on Monday. We are gratified to learn that they are meeting with great success with their Warehouse in Richmond, and are surrounded by an army of bikers repre senting millions of money. They have already sold new tobacco from Wilson county, and from Florence, S. C. There is nothing like ease and com fort at home, or in your business office, hence we invite your attention to the ad vertisement of F. A. Sintclair, Mottville, N. Y., manufacturers of all kinds of com fort chairs and settees. These goods are well-known all over the United States as being first-class in every respect, and we ask our readers to send for catalogue of prices. THE FIRST BLOW STRUCK. Killing: Trusts like Killing Chicken Cholera Cut off Their Heads. The initial step in the prevention and successful annihilation of the great evil of the 19th century, has been taken by Alliance No. 487, at Sterna. It is a reso lution, which is published In another column, and which strikes at the very root and foundation of the growing mon ster, Trust. It is diametrically opposed to the life of this gigantic fraud and can kerous excrescence upon the body of the nation, and which is spreaping out its feelers like the horrible and deadly Octopus preparatory to sucking its vic tims, the Ameraican farmers, unto their death. The resolution asks the co-operation of Alliancemen and all people tore- fuse the use or purchase of any tobacco manufactured by the American Tobacco Company, and thus "break down, or at least, loosen their clutches upon the to bacco growers of our country," That ia the only way to do it. Let us be ever vigilant and Argus-eyed, and just such patriots to our interests, our princi ples, aad our country, as our forefathers displayed when they upset the tea in Boston harbor, as an incipient act in the commencement of their freedom from British tyrany and oppression. A great revolution is pending ! The great storm of the agricultural masses Is gathering, and as powerful reforms never go back wards, they will sweep this country from Maine to California like a Western cy cyclone, scattering in their path Trusts, Syndicates, Middlemen, and the various Land-sharks and Mortgage Shjlocks who have preyed upon their necessities al most since the birth of the Republic. No man can say when. Our people are long suffering and patient. It may not be un til the wolf, gaunt and spectre-like stands as a sentinel upon the threshold of every farmers door, then, be assured, the crisis will have come. When your children cry for bread, and the boot-heel of the tyrant is literally upon your neck, then, will you strike for freedom, crying as you go, " Who shall deliver me from the body of this death !" But we bellevB the time is near at hand. The thing is beggaring us, and we all see it. Great trees from little acorns grow, and it ma,vtB that the action of Alliance No. 487, will, in a cen tury to come, have covered itself with glory, and earned for Stems the birth place of freedom from the bondage of combines, and the hornet's nest of Amer ican agricultural liberty. Personal. We had the honor of a visit, on Sat urday, from Dr. Foote, of Warrenton. He is one of the eminent physicians of North Carolina, and a member of the Board of Directors of the Insane Asylum. The Doctor spent Saturday and Sunday in Ox ford, at the Osborn House, and was greatly pleased to see our town so prosperous. After practicing medicine continuously for thirty years, he Is taking his first hol iday, and has gone to Buffalo Springs to spend three or four weeks to recuperate his health, which, from routine and pro fessionol duty, has become impaired to aome extent. Faithful Officer. When the Board of County Commis sioners selected Mr. Z. W. Allen as the Superintendent of the Poor House they certainly done a eood thing for the coun ty. He is not only a good farmer, but a good manager, being kind to the inmates, and has by his tact and energy made the institution self sustaining. Besider other products, corn, oats, etc., the tobacco crop sold for about $1,400. This clearly dem onstrates the Poor House can be made self supporting with the proper manage ment, and we congratulate Mr. Allen upon the success he has achieved. He has $300 to his credit in the bank. Big: StornVin Franklin and Warren. A terrible wind, rain and hail storm passed over a portion of Franklin and Warren counties on the 19th sweeping a track about two miles wide. Every farm and all the crops in this portion were completely destroyed. It is reported that many farmers lose from two to three thousand dollars. Some one who passed over the section struck by the storm said he passed by several large farms that every plant and shrub were blown down. The tobacco crop is greatly Injured, and below Warrenton tltey are cutting it off so as to let it spread out again. Oxford's Jewels. In a write-up of Oxford for the Chron icle, our correspondent by Inadvertence failed to refer to its newspapers. It was like giving the play of Hamlet with left out. But for its wide awake newspapers Oxford would not be the live and pro gressive town it is today. The Chronicle has a high appreciation of the Public Ledger, of which that sterling gentle man, Mr. Jno. T. Britt, is editor, and The Day, for which the live and progressive Mr. Kronheimer furnishes the literary pabulum, not to speak of the ever-welcome Orphan's Friend. Oxford Is bless ed in its newspapers. State Chronicle. Notice. This is to certify that I warn any one trading for any note, account or promise to pay in any way on me, unless I in per son agree to pay it. Henderson Tiixey, Near Mangum's Store, A Regular Slaughter. We were honored with a visit Tuesday, from Capt. II . P. Gill, of St yall. He is one of the old landmarks f the county, being now in his 84th yeaf, and says he feels like he could tussl with any of the boys. He Is certainly tht? man to exterminate rats. Some time ag) he discovered that the rats were trying tfi cut his rations short in corn. He pul chased a wire trap, and set it in his coji crib, and the next morning found in it of the long tails. He set it again, and It?' next morning scooped in 12 more. Hp next haul was three flying squirrels in i box trap. -; That Rock Crusher. We trust the plan for the purchase of a rock crusher, jointly by the town anfl county, has not fallen through, as we ai of the opionion that nothinc more bene ficial to both could be devised. In tlli winter season our streets are Impassabl and the roads are in such a condition vtj to keep farmers from patronizing otr market, and they have to go elsewhere tb sell their tobacco and buy goods. Oir Warehousemen and merchants felt tla effects of it to a large extent during tla past winter. Will our town Board f Commissioners allow the same thing o be repeated the coining winter ? A rotji crusher is our only salvation, and shoul be purchased, if it has to be done by sr.'. scription. State Guard. The gallant boys of Virginia and Nor;i Carolina have had a most delightful tinie at the encampment this week, and Ox ford is well represented among the hli officers. Lieut.

He will cat return until about the middle of Auguft, when he will be prepared to do bettl-r work than ever. Mr. Alice Jenkins, the beloved wife of Rev. John Jenkins, died in Warrentn on Tuesday. She was a true christafi, and was a sister of our townsman, Mr. "V. C. Thaxton. Her death has cast a glodpi over the hearts of many relatives ad friends. s We direct the attention of our maiiy roaders to the advertisement eisewhee of Stovall Academy, Mrs. J. A. Stradlrr, Principal. She is so well known through out this section as an accomplished schol ar and teacher that we shall not attempt to say anything in her praise. A material train on the Atlantic acd Danville Railroad collided in a deep f,tit half a mile east of Boydton, Va., J.ny 21, with a handcar which the men failed to get out of the way of the train In tifc-j. The flats of the train were piled up &tjd three laborers were killed and four bad y injured. The necessary medical attention was rendered by the road authorities. Four farmers walked into our ofiile 5? on Saturday, and remarked that they " couldn't do without the Public Leix!Ei, as it was brim full of home news, ard working hard to build up Oxford atd Granville county." We entered thepr names with pleasure, and trust othel'S will come forward and do likewise, as'v'e want 5,000 subscribers in Granville Co.!

WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE WITHIN HER BORDERS. A General Fpitonie of Recent Occur rences Around and About Us, From the Mountains to the Sea, as Culled from our State Papers. Trinity College at Durham will be ready open Oct 1st. The Governor has pardoned J. R. Bol ton, convicted of larceny at the fall term of Pender court and sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary. R. W. Calvert, chairman of the county commissioners of Wilkes, dropped dead while plowing ia his field Wednesday. He was a prominent citizen, and his death is greatly deplored. The Maxton Union says that on the afternoon of Sunday, the 5th, Mr. James Ward, of liobison county, left his pistol lying on a window sill, and some one in passing knocked it off. When it struck the floor the weapon was discharged, the ball striking his ten-year-old son in the breast, passing through his heart and killing him instantly. In a recent speech at Scotland Neck, reported in the Democrat, Capt. E. A. I'horne, Alliance Lecturer, said that the contest against the money power will be no walk over, but in 1892 the Republi can party which is responsible for the uial-adminlstration of the government for the last twenty-five years, shall be buried too deep for an early resurrection. A special to the Raleigh News and Observer from Charlotte says that dur ing a violent thunder storm Friday even ing in Long Creek township, lightning struck a barn where five men had fled for safety, completely wrecking the structure and killing Edmund Anderson, colored, and fatally injuring Mr. Neal Sample, a prominent farmer of that sec tion, and a colored boy. Neither are ex pected to live. The committee of Odd Fellows, ap pointed by the Grand Lodge of the State to select a site for the location of the Orphanage to be established by the Odd Fellows, decided in favor of Goldsboro, as the inducements offered by that city were greater than those of other towns, the citizens of Goldsboro haying given a twenty acre site, valued at $5,000, sup plement by a large donation in money. On Tuesday, 21st inst, Governor Holt was tendered a reception by the North Carolina State Guard, at the Island Beach Hotel, at the Hammocks. The reception was followed by a grand ball, given In honor of the Governor and the visiting military from Virginia. The Governor arrives Monday evening and remained until Thursday. While at camp he was the guest of the general staff. About the first act of the Railroad Com mission was to reduce the railroad fare. Some of the railroad then fixed their rates and charged for every fraction of a mile as if it were a full mile. This was re ported to the Commission, and they made a ruling that the all railroads shall charge for fractions of a mile the same charge as for a full mile provided the fraction exceeds a mile; but no charge shall be made for any distance under half a mile. This is fair to the people and to the rail roads. Oak Ridffe Institute, Before deciding what school you will patronize next year be sure to write to Messrs. J. A. & M. A. Holt, Oak Ridge, N. C, for their beautiful catalogue. This Institution stands in the forefront of Southern secondary schools in point of patronage, beauty and healthfulness. of locution, equipments, and those things generally which go to make up a great school. 801 different students were en rolled last year. The Principals are erect ing another magnificent new building to cost over $10,000. Sixteen years ago this was a small school occupying one room, and having only 25 local students. Next term the school will occupy three large buildings containing over 30 rooms, and filled with students from all the South. See advertisement in another column. Colored Orphan Asylum. On Tuesday Oxford was full of colored people to witness the laying of the corner stone of the new building to the Asylum. The Masons clothed in their regalia, head ed by the colored brass band from Dur ham, maiched out to the Asylum on the Raleigh road. It is estimated 2,500 peo ple witnessed the ceremony. The ad dress was delivered by Solicit ir G. H. White, of 2d District. It was well deliv ered showing himself to be a man of con siderable talent. . The amount of money realized from dinner and contributions was $108 00. The utmost order prevailed, and every thing passed off in a most satisfactory m anner . Good Looks.
