THE PASSING LOCAL EVENTS OF THE DAY. Wliat Is Tmnsplrinfc Around itnd About Us, In Town mil Comity The Movements and Doings of Peo pie Ton Know. Ete. The fine residence of Mr. Henry Hunt ln South Oxford is about completed The Knitting Mills are now running on regular time and turning out most ex eel lent goods. Mr. R. W. Starke, a good man and practical farmer, had a good farm horse to die last week. The Oxford market Is now selling tobacco from Mt. Airy to Craven county, Our boys have got the boodle. Mr. William Purnell, who attempted to commit suicide, was carried to the In sane Asylum at Raleigh on Saturday. How about building the Oxford & Coast Line Railroad through Northern Granville taking In the Copper and Iron Mines? Owing to the rejection of the engine by the Town Commissioners for driving theJRock Crusher work did not commence as stated in another article. onerifl Urews, (Kad Fox) is on a chase through the county In search of tax money, and it is said he smiles every time he signs his name to a receipt. The engene on the O. & H. railroad run off the track Wednesday which caus ed a delay of several hours. It happened 2 miles from town and no one was hurt. Mr. A. S. Peace made a most admi rable speech at Stovall last Thursday in defense of Alliance principles which was happily received by the large audience present. There is no flies on the Court House Building Committee, and If they will re model the old stairways leading to the curt room we are satisfied tiat the peo ple of the county will wish no flies will ever light on their bald heads. Wm. Peace, a mute, aged 80 years, fell dead in the yard of his brother, J. A Peace, last Friday near Kittrell. He was the first cousin of the late Dr. P. P. Peace and Dr. C. C. Feace, of Kittrell, and a nephew of Mr. Wm. Peace, deceased, of Raleigh. It. is true that Messrs. Hundley Bros have but a few weeks to complete the addition to the Court house, but we trust the committee will find time to make arrangements to have the old dark dis mal narrow stairway to the court room remodeled . Dr. Marsh who conducted a most sue cessful meeting at Hester's church last week closed on Sunday. As a reward for his labors 21 additions were made to the church. Mrs. Chandler who was 81 years old and another person 62 was among the happy number. The crayon painting, on exhibit in Granville county's space, of the Horner School, was awarded first premium (3.00) by the State Fair. Also a beautiful .hearth rug, the hand work of Mrs. Har riet Thomason, on exhibit in same space, took first premium $1.50. The walls of the new addition to the court house are rising higher and higher every day and the Register and Clerks offices grow darker and barker. We wonder if some of that $6,300 will shed a ray of light on the dark, narrow steps leading to the court room. Cannot the building committee of the Court House put a jack-crew under that $ 6.300 and squeeze out enough money to make at least passable lookiDg stairsteps leading to the court room ? We are one that believe they can and say it Is a public necessity and should be done. The Alliance rally at Brassfleld was a great success and the speakers acquit ted themselves in a handsome manner. It was a regular field day for the Alliance of this section, and Wednesday will prove a day in which the members renewed their allegiance to the cause of reform. Mr. J. S. Brown, who is recogni d as one of our most honorable and upright citizens, has bought an interest in the grocery business of R. W. Jones & Co. The firm will be known as Brown & Jones, and they will at once add largely to the present stocs. We wish the firm every possible success. We have on our table the Salem Winston Guide, a neat and well gotten up weekly ne.vspaper, published by Mr. Joseph Bradfield. It is Democratic in politics but the editor is an independent thinker and will deal with questions that are the most important to the people. We wish Mr Bradfield much success. It Is the duty of everybody to stand by and sustain the enterprises of your town and county. Farmers sell your to bacco on the Oxford market, and when you go to buy goods trade with those merchants who are not too close fisted to seek yonr patronage through the county paper. Stick a big pin here and act accordingly. Cases from this district will come up before the Supreme Court next week. Capt. W. A. Bobbitt at his own ex pense had an elm tree planted In front of the Court House. The officers In the Court House are now having a splendid time, as the dirt from tearing down walls are all the go with them. Dr. R. W. Hobgood certainly has a feeling for the poor newspaper man. We thsnk him for a half bushel of the largest sweet potatoes we ever saw, 15 of them making a bushel. He made 275 bushels on half acre. All our warehouses have good breaks daily. On Tuesday Immense quantities of tobacco was sold. The Alliance and Bullock & Mitchell had usual large breaks. General satisfaction is expressed at prices paid on the Oxford market. Brother Kronheimer, of The Day, has the bold effrontery to spring the old hotel question upon this community again. It looks like that it is the last thing the town needs, if we have to judge by appearances, but never the less we would be glad to make it appear to some of our capitalist thit Is the first thing we need. Numerous complaints are being made by the farmers about the dreadful condi tion of the road leading from Oxford to Berea. What is the matter with the road supervisors, that they allow roads to go fourteen months without even a hole be ing even filled with brush and mud ? You will hear something drop about court week. The whole body of students at David son tjouega, witli only two exceptions, have recently signed a paper in which each one pledges his honor to abstain from every form of hazing during his connection with the Colleee, and to use all honorable means to prevent any future student from indulging in the practice. This annihilates "freshing" at Davidson certainly for several years, possibly for all the future. Mr. Alf Hobgood has earned the rep utation of being the best "forager" in the county, but he was somewhat taken back at Stovall last Thursday. He looked the village over and was about to give up in despair, when he espied a boy with two squirrels. Alf struck a double quick for fear of losing his reputation and the game, ana soon naa tnem m nana. As he handed the boy the money you could hear him laugh all over the village, re marking that the "boys can't poke fun at me now." Another Case of Insanity. Mr. William Jones, a young man from Tally Ho township, was in Oxford on Wedndsday and showed signs of insanity and was taken in charge by officer Renn and caaried before Sqnire Mitchell who had him confined in jail until arrange ments could be made to get him in the Asylum. His mind has been unbalanced for some time, having made threats to kill his mother. When arrested he had two pistols and a big knife on his person. We hope he will soon recover from his unfortunate condition. Beautiful Display of Hoods. The progressive voung firm of Paris the Dry on Main Bros has taken high rank in Goods trade, and their store street crowded daily with ladies and gen tlemen taking advantage of the many rare bargains offered by these enterprising gentlemen. Every department is full of attractive goods. If the ladies are looking for handsome wraps and dress patterns this is the place to get them. If you are in search of a comfortable nair of shoes aris Bros pride themselves on their elab orate outlay in this line, and guarantee to please you. If you want to make your home comfortable for the winter buy a carpet from them as they have ingrains and brussels of attractive patterns.

Williams returned from a visit to New York, on Saturday and left on Monday for the Exposition accompanied by Mrs. Baldy Williams Mrs. R. H. McGuire, and Misses Lucy Williams and Mary McGuire.

Jones, one of the hard working young farmers of Oak Hill town ship, sold tobacco at the Alliance Ware house on Tuesday and was remarkably well pleased. He is a great friend of the Public Ledgrk and paid the editor a pleasant call. Mr. Mac P. Roberts, of Brunswick, county Va., Is on a visit to his old friends in Oxford and the county.
