The November term of Granville Superior Court will be held In the Opera House owing to improvements being made to the Court House. Mrs. John W.

New attraction in millinejy at Mrs. J. T. Britt's. Be sure and call and ex amine shapes and trimmings, before you order your hat, aa it will be to your ad vantage to do so. The small drummer boy, of W. I. Wilkinson, of the Johnson Warehouse still clings to his skates, but he has changed his tune and sings another song to our readers to-day. Listen to what he has to say. Beasley, Stem & Co., of the Meadows Warehouse has something to say to "the boys" who are anxious to receive the very highest prices that can be realized for tobacco, and "you bet" they never fail to "get there." Hon. A. H. A. Williams attended the marriage of Colonel Benehan Cameron to Miss Mayo in Richmond Wednesday evening. It Vas a notable event and a large number of prominent North Caro linians witnessed the ceremony. It is expected that Nov. 11th will be a big day at the Patrick Exposition. It will be Odd Fellows Day, and Capt. W. A. Bobbitt, Grand Representative, is chief marshal. The assistants will be a mem ber from each subordinate Lodge in the State. Messrs. D . A. Moore and Lem Day, have recovered from their recent severe ickness, and have opened their Harness Shop in the store room next to Mr. J . W. Fuller's Grocery, on Hillsboro street, and invite their friends to call and see them. General Wailer, of the epade and pick brigade, has had beautiful weather for working the roads, and we trust have made good headway, but as they had no rock crusher to make their work solid we fear that as soon as the rains set in their name will be "mud." A goodly number of our people took in the Richmond fair this week. Those from our town that we know of who at tended are Messrs. J. M. Currln, J. D Rrinkley, John Meadows, John Webb, D. T. Gooch, W. T. Lyon, Major W. A. Bob bitt, and many others. By all means let us have the O. & C. L. Road depot as near the middle of the town as it can be gotten so people can see what kind of a town we have got, be sides it would be a great convenience to our people. Yes, Col. Beasley, bring it right up Main street and stop in front of the court house. Rev. Joseph Blalock who is prosecu ting"! studies at Wake Forest College, occupied the pulpit of the Baptist church on Sunday evening last. His sermon was well delivered and showed that he possessed the qualifications to make a good preacher. He is the son of our highly esteemed countyman Mr. J. M Blalock. The rock crusher is a success, and we congratulate hi3 honor Mayor Hicks and his committee upon the great energy displayed in securing the plant. Pave the streets as far as the money will go and then put the engine and crusher away until more money is raised for street pur poses. We cannot expect nor are we able to put all the main thoroughfares in good condition for two or three years to come. The Alliance Rally at Buchanan on Thursday was a success. Mr. E. T. Rawlins extends a cordial invitation to all those in search of goods at most resonable price? to give him a call. The Odd Fellow Temple, which soon will be completed by Messrs. Hundley Bros., is the handsomest structure of the kind in the State and we feel prouo: of the building. Look out ye lovers of good speaking and eating and be on hand atEnon church on Wednesday, Clay's on Thursday and Tar River on Friday. We thank the com mittee of arrangements at each place for invitations to be present at these Grand Alliance Rallies. Let the good work go on until the money kings no longer con trol this country. We are glad to inform the farmers that tobacco still hold its own on prices, especially on medium grades, and Oxford is still in the lead on high averages. Large quantities continue to be sold on our market daily, and many a man goes home satisfied the prices paid for the quality of tobacco sold. Don't listen to the beautiful tale that is told by others to lead you away from home market. It is your duty to stand by your county town. Oxford has invested over $100,000 in railroads which has gone into the pocket of the Richmond & Danville, and yet even with all this the said company forces our people who wish to make through connection North to ride 4 miles to Dick erson's crossing on the Durham & North ern in order to make it. The schedule on the O. & H. Road is so arranged that the train arrives in Henderson just .15 minutes after the Seaboard train leaves. Why is such treatmeut meeted out to our people? The Bijou Theater Company will hold the boards at the Opera House Saturday night and an exchange in speaking of the troupe says: "This company is splendid one. There is not a member but what displayed talent and fully able to support the electric battery, Alma Hearn, who is a sweet little woman with a rich cultiva ted voice and winning all hearts by her clever personation of the 'Little Dutch ess." Those failing to hear or avail them selves of this opportunity to enjoy an evening with this talented actress will miss a treat. We are sorry to learn of the burning on Friday last of the residence of Mr. Howell Nelson, who lives some 6 or 8 miles from town It is thought the fire was caused by a spark from the chimney falling on the roof. He had his tobacco stored in his dwelling which was con sumed. Loss estimated at $ 2,000. Mr. Nelson was wise enough to have insurance amounting to $950. It is a good thing to have and if you hav'nt got policy on your dwelling or pack house or your life call on the clever C. J. Gregory over Cooper Bank and let him write you a policy. Syrup of Firs, Produced from the laxative and nutritious juice of California figs, combined with the medical virtues of plants known to be most beneficial to the human system, acts gently on the kidneys, liver and bowels, effectually cleansing the system, dispell ing colds and headaches and curing ha bitual constipation. John, try the Patent Sole Shoe. It is the best I ever saw. We brag because the Patent Sole Shoe is the only one made that excludes water, dust and dirt. Are You One? There are a great many men who do not subscribe for their county paper be cause they say their neighbor takes it and they get to read it. Then those same persons come to you to publish a notice of the marriage of a daughter or son, or some like notice free of charge. Another class of people prefer to subscribe for a paper published hundreds of miles away, because they get more reading matter for the same amount of money. But they do not take into consideration the fact that these papers never lift a finger in the in terest of their community. And not once in months does be ever see a gleam of news about his own neighborhood. A man should first do his duty by his home paper, then if he wants to take another paper, all right. North Carolina will see a Drighter day when her newspapers are seen in the homes of all, rich and poor. When all other remedies for scrofula fall, Ayer's Sarsaparilla, if persistently used, effects a cure. Being a powerful alterative, it cleanses the blood of all im purities, destroys the germs of scrofula, and imparts new life and vigor to every fibre of the body. Rheumatism Cured in a Day.

Mitchell has returned from a visit to Raleigh. Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Kimball, of Har grove, were in Oxford on Monday. Mr. & Mrs. W. H. Jeffreys, of Hans ford , Va., passed through Oxford on Sun day. Mr. Alf Hobgood has removed his family to the old Kivett residence on Ral eigh street. Mr J. T. Ragan, of Berea, is now with Messrs. Harris, Gooch & Co., of Henderson. We are glad to learn that Mr. N. B. Cannady, who has been very sick, is rap idly improving. Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Parker, of En field, spent several days with relatives in Oxford this week. Mr. A. II. Gregory, President of Granville County Alliance and daughter, were in Oxford Tuesday. Mr. Ernest Parham, of the Davis & Gregory Warehouse Company of Rich mond, Va., spent several days In Oxford this week. It is said that Mr. J. C. Randolph, of Scotland Neck, will make Oxford his home. We cordially extend to him a hearty welcome. Mr. Sim Bullock, the gentlemanly clothing salesman at A. Landis & Sons, has been chosen third Lieutenant, of the Granville Grays, vice F. P: Hobgood, Jr , resigned. Mr. M. L. Coley, one of the leading young farmers and business men of Dutchville township, has succumbed to the charms of women, and was happily married on Wednesday last to Miss Mamie, daughter of W. L. Roberts, of Greens. We join with a large number of friends in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Coley every happiness that life can give. Col. W. F. Beasley, a wide awake, go-a-head, gentleman, who is throughly alive to the great interest of Oxford, as we belive he will prove ere his work is done, has been elected President of the Ox'ord & Coast Railroad. We are betting on you Colonel, and we want you to locate the depot right in the heart of town. Be like old Davy Crocket "Be sure you are right, and then go ahead." Give us a connection first with the Dnrham & Northern Railroad, and If Franklinton and Louisburg want It extended to their respective towns let them show their hands by chipping in for the extension of the same.

Secretary. We brag why? Because the Patent Shoe wears longer and keeps in better shape than any other shoe in the market. The Court House Improvements. We are aware that some people will say that we are proneto grumble, but we are doing what we think is justice to the tax-payers when they have to pay the bills. We have no reflections to cast upon any one.either the contractors or the com mittee, but we cannot see why one of the most important things connected with re-modelling of the building t should be left out. The court room of the Court House will be large and convenient, but what narrow, dark, curved miserable ex cuses for steps will the people have to climb in order to reach this spacious room. This is a great oversight on the part of the committee in not including this in the" contract and much dissatisfac tion is expressed on account ot it. It seems to us after taking off all the "banjo work" $6,300 is amplv sufficient to make all necessary additions, including the new part with vaults court room and the mis erable excuses tor steps that two people cannot go up abreast to the court room. We see under the head of omissions in contract if anything has been omitted to "make the building complete according to the plans it shall be furnished by the builder without extra cost to the county." Now we claim in the name of the tax payers that according to the plans and specifications that the building will be totally incomplete without remodel ing the steps to the front of the building. We also find in the said contract that the builders shall have the privilege of using all doors and windows taken out of the old building and all other material in the old building where the same is sound and suitable to use which is some considera tion. We also find that no provision is made for seats in the court room, which will be an extra charge upon the tax-payers of $200 or $250. We ask why was not seats included in the contract ? By the time all the extras are added we pre dict that the building will cost about $1,000 more. The Old Original Remedy Leads. Sick people should not be deceived by pretenders who talk about "Microbi," "germs", "baccilli", &c, to sell their pre patations, thus preventing people from buying the original tested medicine. "Radam's Microbe Killer" is what you need. It is now, and for years has been making more cures than all other reme dies combined. Investigate it before trifling with your health. Read their advertisement in this paper. Don't be de ceived. , .. . . BETTER ROADS. That Rock Crusher and the Cunty Should Have One. Mayor Hicks and his Board off Com missioners have been troubled a-tgreat deal about the delay in receivii. the Rock Crusher and engine, but neverthe less it is here at work near the depJt and a large amount of rock is being crashed daily. We wish Capt. Graham arrt his right bower, Mr. T. D. Waller, . htki one just like it so they could build subsntiai roads leading into Oxford insteifi of being forced to throw up dirt in thlfroadjs to become a terror to the travellersjf n thp winter. It will not be long befoite yo4t will hear the cry from the farmed thai they "cannot sell their tobacco d.i th Oxford market because we can lordly pull an empty wagon over the miserable roads let alone a load of tobacco." jrhile on the subject of public roads we uotef the following which is certainly ap;lica ble to our State and county: I At a recent assembly held in a eff utbi ern State a committee made a ;t ;poA upon this subject in which they ssy that this subject Is one of paramount rnpor tance, and for want of proper attention, ip which strangers from other Stat any countries coming into our borders, ars struck with amazement at the badScprxdf tion of our public roads the very 8best index of the want of thrift and entrf ris of a people. Our public roads, says th4 report, are a burning reproach to omciv5 ilization, and will continue to beFsfun. less the importance of the subject jjs,?igJ orously agitated by eyery legiih.atl means, until those who make ou? wi are iaipressed with the ssnse of the sol emn duty of turning their attention from the trifling local matters which coj&suine so much time of the General Assembly, and taking in hand the higher and fnihn ier matters, among which is providing for the building up of our waste iplsiies and enhancing the value of our ejurjtry inviting to strangers, and attractive tsnd pleasant to our own people, by Jilvlng them facilities for travel and transporta tion. It is pleasing to all who h'ave spark of State pride to see the iriterjaEt which the press is now beginning tb tki? in this important subject. j f I The interest ought not to be pernitacS to subside till a better system o cfn structing and repainJng our highways I secured. It is obvious to any ordin :r observer that to accomplish this gfre&l desired end, there must be a radical change of our present road system. ; It must be done in the main by taxation.

OXFORD & COAST LINE R. R. REORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY COL. W. F. BEASLEY, PRESIDENT. The Railroad an Assured Faet The Survey Being: Made and Work Will Commenced as Soon as Right of Way is Secured. Our readers well know that for several months we have been calling upon the Directors of the Oxford & Coast Line Railroad Company to do something In regard to the building of this road Owing to the large number of Directors it was found Impracticable to do anything and at a meeting held in July it was de cided to place the affairs of the company in the hands of Dr. H. C. Herndon and A. W. Graham with full power to make any and all contracts for the speedy con struction of the road that they might deem for the best interest of Oxford. After a thorough and careful considera tion of the whole matter it was decided, for the present, to begin at some point within the corporate limits, as near the court house as possible, and run by the shortest and most practicable route to the D. & N Railroad. It was also decided that it was best to reorganize the com pany and reduce the number of Directors to seven, as it was exceedingly difficult to get a quorum of Directors together to transact the business of the company. The committee, Dr. Herndon and Mr. Graham, in furtherance of the plan pro posed, deemed it best to call in the servi ces of Col. W. F. Beasley who has had considerable experience in building rail roads ; and it was agreed that upon the reorganization of the company he should be recommended as President and Dr. Herndon as Treasurer. In the agreement with Col. Beasley it is stipulated that he shall give his personal attention to the work of constructing the road and to making contracts for the running the road In the interest of the town of Oxford The construction of the road is in the hands of a construction committee com posed of Dr. Herndon, Mr. Graham and Col. Beasley. No contract can be made binding upon the company until it is signed by the construction committee, and all money will be deposited with Dr. Herndon, and none can be paid out except upon the order of the construction committee, and Col. Beasley can get nothing for his services until the road is built and a contract made for the oper ation of the same in the interest of the town of Oxford satisfactory to and ap proved by the said Herndon and Graham. The construction committee have not yet made a contract for the building of the road and we hear that they will probably give the contract to the penitentiary au. thorities or to a firm at Rocky Mount, Va., who built most of the O. & C. road. No member of the construction com mittee can be interested in the contract. And it is further stipulated that the road shall be completed within four months from the time the rights of way are se cured. Of course it will not take the whole forty thousand dollars to build the road to the D. & N., and the construction committee expect to leave in the treasury a handsome sum after completing the road. It seems to us that the interest of the town has been well protected and as lpng as Messrs. Herndon & Graham are fOhf ul to the trust reposed in them we are safe. In accordance with the plan proposed by Messrs. Herndon & Graham the stock holders met on Friday, Oct. 23, and reor ganized the company by adopting the by laws recommended by the Board of Direc tors and reduced the Directors to seven and elected the following gentlemen : II. C. Herndon, J. G. Hall, A. W.Graham, W. F. Beasley, Spottswood Burwell, R. T. Smith and R. W. Lassiter. After the adjournment of the Stock holders the Directors met and elected W. F. Beasley, President, J. G. Hall, vise President, H. C. Hernd n, Treasurer, and R. W. Lassiter, Secretary. On Monday Mr. Ashton A. Chapman the engineer ar rived and on Tuesday began the survey from a point on Main street in front of the court house. We learn that several routes will be survayed and that adopted which shall be deemed most practicable Among His Flock Again. Rev. R. F. Bumpass, the able ppstor of the Methodist church, returned from the Ecumenical Conference at Washington Friday and occupied his pulpit on Sunday morning to the great pleasure of his con gregation, and' as usual preached a good sermon, urging them to go forward in the cause of Christ. In speaking of the great Conference he had just attended he said that Methodism had abundant reasons to be proud of the great meeting just closed. The addresses on the topics were able and abounded in information that would result In much good. The Bishops, preach ers and laymen it brought together from all parts of the world, representing every branch of Methodism were admirable il lustrations of what is best in that type of Christianity, and that there was a substan tial harmony of feeling and purpose in the discussions that augers well for Meth odism. He annonnced that be would commence a protracted meeting on next Sunday and would be assisted in the work of trying to lead sinners to Christ by Rev. Mr. Troy, of Littleton, and urged each mem ber of the church to pray for the outpour ing of the Holy Spirit. Shriner's Indian Vermifuge is perfectly safe and easily administered.
