Oxford will continue to have six leaf warehouses. Messrs. B. H. Cozart & Co will run the Center Brick the coming year. Taxpayers read the appointments of Sheriff Crews for the collection of taxes elsewhere and be prepared to meet him with the money. Remember the big Alliance Rally at Stovall on the 15th of October. Promi nent speakers will be on hand and a big time Is expected. Mr. J. Y. Longmire, of Fishing Creek, cured ten barns of tobacco and burned up two, which including the barns was a clear loss of four. Attention everybody. Take an in- teres in the G ranville Exhibit and get up something to send to Raleigh as you have but a few days now left. Beasley, Stem & Co., had their open ing sale Thursday and it was a winner on Quantity and high averages. Bring it right along the boys are on their mettle. Some eminent reformers believe in reform next year, and others, judging from the company they're commencing to keep, don't believe in reform last year and years previous. J. M. Hobgood i3 a large man and has a large heart, and raises large sweet potatoes, and the editor is under large ob ligations for a mess of the largest we have seen this year. While a fine mule belonging to Mr. W. L. Walters, of Wilton, was wallowing In a field last week a very vicious hog made for his muleshipand disemboweled him. We never heard of such a thing before. Ralph Currin is creating quite a rep utation as a squirrel hunter at Wilkins. On Thursday morning he went out and by nine o'clock killed 14, and friend Geo. W. Coley said it was not a good morning for squirrels either. Mrs. Ida J. Knott laid a beautiful sample of bright new wrappers on our table Saturday, which shows that she is a good farmer as well as housekeeper. We hope every barn of tobacco she cured will come up to sample given us. There is no connection North over the Richmond & Danville Railroad and our people have to go 3 miles to the Dur ham & Northern road, in order to make the proper connection. This is a great injustice to the people of Oxford to be thus deprived of Northern connection over the R. & D, system. R. A. Yancy, a farmer who resides near Berea, takes the cake on large opos gums. He went out a few nights ago and caught four, one of which weighed 26 pounds. The dogs scented him near the house and soon had him cornered. He was no doubt looking for Mrs. Yancy's I fat hens as she had been missing them for some time. We are pleased to learn that the Ox ford Female Seminary has now over 100 scholars and new ones are being added to the roll daily. The Faculty Is a splendid one and cannot be excelled by any In the State, and we feel sure that parents can not do better than send their daughters to Oxford Female Seminary where every fa cility Is offered for thorough education. We ask the indulgence of our rea ders for the small amount of matter in this issue of the Public Ledger owing to the large ammount of advertisements now crowding our columns. The mer chants and warehousemen have found out that the paper now goes Into the hands of the farmers of Granville, and are seeking their patronage through its pages. We will add two more pages the 15th of October. Friday morning we were walking down Ilillsboro street and met Mr. J. P. Bradsher, of Tar River, who held by. the hand a bright looking 3-year old boy. We asfced him if the ugly man who had him by the hand was his father. He prompt ly replied v"he ain't ugly; you 's the ug liest man I's seen since I got here." We had business elsewhere, and thought what i a pity that bright boy had not met Hart Overton before he cast eyes upon the editor. My Experience with the Modern Barn and its Company On the morning of the 12th of August, 1891, 1 boarded the train at Reidsville, N C, for the town of Oxford, N. C, where is situated the factory of the Company aid also a Modern Barn. I had been in terviewed by one of the Company's agen" during the spring to know if I would cure tobacco for them during the coming season, which I consented to do and as I then thought was to go to the Western part of Kentucky in the white burly dis trict. But after reporting at headquar ters I found the Company wished me to remain at Oxford, which I did with re luctance. After I arrived in Oxford I learned that the Experiment Station at Raleigh wished me to cere an acre of to bacco to test which Is the better process, the old way in the old log barn, or the new way in the Modern Barn. So on Monday morning, Sept. 17th, 1S91, Dr. II. B. Battle, Chief of the Experiment Station at Raleigh, Mr. Blalock with Mr. Deven- ish, my r elf and others went out to Mr. Currln's ff'-m about 3 miles distant and laid off just one acre of tobacco. Now I don't think I have much fears about cur ing a barn of tobacco under ordinary cir cumstances, but I must confess that under the present surroundings I never hated worse to tackle a thing in my life. First, because to some expert at least it must effect the Modern Barn Company. Sec ond, it must probably effect the bread and meat of millions of the race, as it is (the cultivation of tobacco) one among the largest industries in this country. And for such a responsibility to rest on my shoulders I must confess was a little more than I wished to carry. Nevertheless, I was into it and I saw no honorable way to get out; so like the fellow whose sweet heart gave him a glass of milk with a bug in it, rather than wound her feelings he swallowed it bug and all. So while I did not swallow the tobacco I cured it, and so the results have gone forth to the world. Now as to the merits of the Mod ern Uarn it would seem like foolishness for me to try to say anything more for the barn than has already been said by much abler pens than mine. Such men as Thos. L. Ragland, of Hyco, Va., and Carr, of Richmond, and a host of others not necessary to mention, wuo have no personal interest in the matter more than myself and millions of others. But when facts and figures prove beyond all doubt that the Modern Barn is another step forward (and we believe the longest one that has .ever been made) why should it meet so much opposition? Because like all other great inventions It will revolu tionize the tobacco world. Why, Mr. F. M. Rogers, of Florence, S. C, showed me sample of tobacco recently that the world can't beat. The color, the texture, the oil, the wax, the everything it seems to me that makes perfection in tobacco was In it. If it lacked anything I could not see it. He says (Mr. Rogers) that it would be ust as hard to convince the farmers in South Carolina that the new process was not right, as it is to convince the farmers of North Carolina that it is right. I see no use of multiplying words about the matter, but one other thing before I am done. Mr. Blalock and myself tried an experiment on 80 plants containing 258 leaves. We cured 129 on the Snow Stick and the other 129 on the stalk right side by side and the 129 leaves cured on the wire weighed 8 pounds, 14) ounces, and the other 129 cured on the stalk weighed pounds, 10) ounces just four ounces in favor of the new process. This test was as fair as can possibly be made. We plucked the leaves alternately and if there was a shadow of difference we could not see it. Now just a few words about the Com pany so lar as 1 have met it. Politically I do not know what they are, but socially I know they are jolly good fellows. In the office they mean business, in the fam ily and social circle they make you feel happy, and at the table nothing Is too good for their wives to put before you. I have been with the Company now six weeks. I leave to-day for home. I shall ever remember them kindly. G. T. Walker. Oxford, N. C, Sept. 24, 1891 Attention, Citizens of Oran ville. If I could speak through an ear trum pet to every man, woman and child in Granville con ity I would tell them that the Southern Exposition is a grander thing than they have any conception of, and urge them, one and all, to make con tributions to give one day at least to the collection and shipment of all kinds of products, whether a monstrosity or not. The Exposition differs from a State Fair in this respect. We want to show the natural products and all of them. If any one has a prodigy of any kind send it. But don't be deterred from contribu ting because you may not be pble to send one. Please make shipments at once and ad vise me by mail as to the same. J. B. Hunter, Manager Granville Co. Exhibit.

Oxford launched out Thursday under more favorable auspices as a tobacco mar ket than at any time within her history It is well known that our market is relia ble and steady and highest figures are al ways paid for all grades. We are in the lead and intend to stick right there. All of our sixjWarehouses .rj under the management of the very best men in every particular whose skill as handlers of the leaf, together with the splendid accom modations they can offer the farmers, make Oxford a first-class market. There have been several new firms of leaf dealers organized here with large capital besides the addition of the big firm of Hancock, Mooreman & Co., who will buy largely, in addition to the many excellent old dealers who have for years stood by this market and its patrons. Several very wealthy leaf firms have con tracts to buy large quantities of the new crop for Western, Northern and Foreign manufacturers. It is safe to say that this uiui cvvj u it iit ucuxauva tuio jroai UUUUIO Lilt?

Hunter says: The duty assigned your manager was to look after Granviile county's exhibits after they get here ; but so great was our interest in this work and feeling the im plied obligation resting upon us to make It a success, we have probably transcend ed our function in urging our people to action in this matter ; even further, our humble contributions in kind have been the first to reach here. Others many and varied contributions have been promised, and are expected by "next train." Work in the line of decoration Is re tarded for want of field and garden pro ducts. We say again, please hurry up these exhibit. Everything at the Ex position grounds is in a hurry, and fur ther delay on the part of Granvillecounty's commiteemen will lead to confusion a result devoutly wished to be avoided. J. B. H.
