Wliat in Transilriii Aroand and About Us, In Town and Connty Tito Movements and noing of Peo ple Yon Know. Kte. "Oh that Oxford" was able to have a syetem of water works More grain has been seeded in Gran ville than known for years. A large number of improvements are going on in different sections of the town. Mr. Joel Averett has had added to his family circle this year 5 grand chil dren. Howell Bros are now offering many bargain to cash purchasers and it will pay you to call at once. The Kitchen of the Osborn House caught lire on Friday, but was put out be fore any damage was done. The stockholders of the Oxford fc Henderson and Oxford & Clarksville rail roads met in Oxford on Monday. Messrs. It. A. Yancy and Luther Ragan, of Berea, have thus far this sea son captured 102 oppossums. Next. The Directors of the Modern Barn Co., held a meeting in Oxford last week. Mr. E. D. Steele, attorney, of High Point, was present. The Odd Fellows Temple which will soon be completed is the handsomest building in Oxford and would do credit to any town. We have received copies of Branson's and Turner's Almanac for 1891. They are both full of valuable information. Price 10 cents. The rock crusher is a success, and a large amount of rock is being put out daily on a portion of Broad street. Street Commissioner Renn, aa he should be called, is now pushing the work along as rapidly as possible. Farmers Oxford stands unrivalled as a tobacco market and our live warehouse men and buyers always make it a point to pay the very highest limit for all grades. Farmers of Granville stand by and pat ronize your county town ! The Public Ledger continues to add new subscribers daily to its list, and now reaches more homes in Granville than any paper of this section. That's right, farmers, stand by and liberally sup port a paper that is doing all it can to foster and build up old Granville. A new Company for the purpose of buying and selling leaf tobacco was form ed in Durham Tuesday under the name of J. M.Taylor Leaf Tobacco Co, com posed of J - M. Taylor, an Oxford boy, J. S. Carr, and John W. Smith, with a capi tal stock of $30,000, with the privilege of making it $100,000. The spotted horse of Beasly, Stem & Co. is one of the moving spirits of that excellent firm, especially when Alf Hob good has hold of the ribbons. In going and coming from the Tar Jtiver pic-nic on Friday he would pass everybody and would exclaim : "I tell you boys the old Meadows Warehouse is bound to lead." On Monday the dwelling of Mrs. John Ellington caught fire from a spark. The alarm was sounded and our citizens fumed out promptly, a they always do, and soon extinguished the flames. Loss about $lo0. In hurrying to the fire a dray ran over a dog and hence there is one less to yelp in town as he was killed. Good farming. Mr. J. T. Fuller, of Fishing Creek, made in 1800 off of 25 acres of land $700 worth of tobacco, lfi barrels of corn, fodder and hay, killed 7o0 pounds of pork and sold $20 worth of chickens and eggs. He had enough land idle to have planted 15,000 more tobacco hills. Who says small farms will not pay? Our tobacco buyers are hungry and thursting for a season as they have urgent demands for sll grades of tobacco. When it comes farmers must remember that no market can down Oxford on high aver averages. We have the buyers and the money and can clean up any other mar ket on prices. Come right along when you get your tobacco stripped and see if we are not right. Mr. Robert Williams, of Oak Hill township visited Oxford Wednesday and paid us a pleasant call. He informed us that he had on his plantation a splendid vein of Iron ore. Hurrah, for Northern Granville, it verily will become ere many years a great mining section. It would be just the thing for the Oxford & Coast Line Railroad to be built through that prosperous part of the county to connect with the Lynchburg & Durham Railroad at Wood sd ale. Another pack house burned. Mr. J. P. Mize who lives about 4 miles from town awoke Saturday morning about 3 o'clock and found his pack house in fl imes. He hurried out but could do no good as the roof had fallen in. Nearly, all his crop of tobacco was destroyed, some 11,000 or 12,000 pounds. His loss is $2,500; insurance on tobacco $1,500, barn and sticks $150. It is thought that it must have been the work of an incen diary as no fire had been about the pack Ing barn. The Supreme Court of the State has granted Dr- II. A. Nash a new trial. Our warehouses had fair breaks on Tuesday and prices ranged high on all grades. In fact prices are higher than two weeks ago . The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Allen died on Tuesday and the remains was interred in the new cemetery on Wednesday. The "Lord gave and the Lord taketh away blessed be the name of the Lord." We call the attention of the public to the advertisement of Mr. Jos. S. Hall elsewhere. He carries a large line of burial cases, and when the messenger of death comes to your home he is ready to assist in performing the last sad rite, Mr. W. T. Hunt, of Tar River, re ceived a few days ago a seductive letter from "green goods" men in New York, glowing in prospective glittering prizes. He showed it to us and we advised him to turn it over to the post office authorities which he did. And everybody who re ceives one should do the same and thus do all they can to protect their ignorant neighbors and friends from being cheated by these scoundrels who are flooding the country with pleasing circulars. TIIECOl'STY COMMISSIONERS. Some Unreasonable Actions of that Body. At the last meeting of the Board there occurred some proceedings which appear to us as very unreasonable, and a miscon ception of the will of the taxpayers of Granville. The first thing we notice is : There were some old county orders issued under the Republican regime which had been bought by R. W. Harris, Esq., of Henderson, and sent by him to Mr. A. S. Peace, a member of the Board of Com missioners, requesting him to present them to the Board, asking they be re allowed. In the meeting Mr. Peace advocated the payment of them, and an order was passed offering Mr. Harris two thirds of $15.34, the total amount ot the orders. We are informed there was no record of these orders and as every one can remember the questional ways in which the county affairs were conducted at the time these orders were issued it is probable that they had once been paid but never cancelled before they reached the hands of Mr. Harris, as no record of them can be found. Now reader note the difference. Short ly after this order was passed Mr. F. B. Wimbi'h brought in an order amounting to $20 5 issued four years ago, to one Charles Hicks, col., as a witness lee in some case. The Board declined the pay ment of said order without any reasonable grounds, stating that they desired to make an example ot this order, so as to stop the presentation of old county order?. Whereupon Mr. Wimbish warranted the Board and as an escape from the payment of this claim the statute of limitation was pleaded along with the defences set up. We ask why did they not make an exam. pie of Mr. Harris' claim and plead the statue of limitation on this too ? Now the evidence tended to show that this was a just claim which had never been paid. Is it not a blot upon our grand old county that her representatives should bar a $20 5 account by the statuate and at the same time pay others that had been standing four times as long ? The Old Original Itemedy 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. Policemen and firemen can testify as to the comfort and durability of the Patent Sole Shoe. The Itaptist Convention. The North Carolina Baptist Convention met at Goldsboro on Wednesday. The collections the past year were $57,500, divided as follows : State missions $15, 000; foreign missions, $10,000; home mis sions, $4,000; Sunday schools; $7,000; education, 4,000; orphanage at Thomas ville, $15,000; relief of ministers, $6,500. The additions to the church membership are about 15,000. New churches to the number of 82 were organized, 48 new houses of worship were built, and no less than 84 are now in course of construction. The number of missionaries engaged in the State mission work is 127 which in Africa, China, Mexico and Brazil there are 21. The total number of foreign mis sionaries sent out from the Baptist church es in North Carolina 36. It is largely attended and reports 160, 000 members . A large number of people from Oxford and different sections of Granville are in attendance.

WORK OF THE LORD. A Glorious Revival of Religion In Ox ford. For the past week a very earnest revi val of religion has been progressing at the Methodist Church conducted chiefly un der the touching and ministration of Rev. R. P. Troy, of Littleton Circuit. Mr. Tre y is persuasive in his appeals and he has stirred up a degree of interest that has seldom been witnessed in Oxford. His manifest sincerity and abiding faith (for he evidently lives near Jesus) are features in his preaching that make him a man of power with sinners whose attention he awakens, and also give him a healthful influence in feeding the religious portion of his congregation. The Church is packed every night by the young and old alike, eager to hear the warning exhortation and love. The character of this great revival is free from any sectarian bias which sometimes mars the success of a religious awakening in a community. The meeting is considered a glorious one by the christians who have taken part in it. Some 35 or 40 sinners have professed faith in Christ, and the congregations have exhibited the pro foundest interest in the meeting. A great many have asked for the pray ers of the people by going forward as seekers of the comfort of religion. There is no undue animal excitement, and yet young men and young ladies, and men of families have come out on the Lord's side and seem to be soundly converted. Besides the Oxford people persons liv ing in the country have come in to attend the meeting. Rev. R. F. Bumpass, the beloved pastor has been active and efficient in his labors and puts in now and then some good talks. The Revs. Hardaway. Hall, Hester and Rennie have given encouragement to the meetings by their presence, and the sermon of Rev. Joseph Rennie on last Sunday afternoon was one considera ble force and impressiveness.

Four counties were represented. The following ladies with their attendants acted as bridesmaids: Miss Emma Davis and Mr. D. C. Mangum; Miss Maggie Royster and Mr. Archie McFarland; Miss Roxie Burch and Mr. S. Frazier; Miss Lizzie Burch and Mr. C. F. Knott; Miss Maggie Knott and Mr. O. D. McFsrland.

J. Davis, father of the bridegroom, where they found a nice and bountiful dinner prepared, to which they did ample justice. A large portion of the older people returned to the hospitable home of Mr. R D. Roys ter where they partook of such a dinner as only the estimable Mrs. Royster knows how to have prepared.

Bobbitt, Chief Marshal, with his corps of assistants coming from th different Lodges of North Carolina had charge of the procession. The gates were kept by the Odd Fellows and their part ef the proceeds go the Orphans Home at Goldsboro. The Odd Fellows of Raleigh gave their brethren a splendid reception. Both air and water abound in microbes, or germs of disease, ready to infect the debilitated system. To impart that strength and vigor necessary to resist the effect of these pernicious atoms, no tonic blood-purifier equals Ayer's Sarsaparilla. NORTH CAROLINA. WHT HAS TAKEN PLACE WITHIN HER BORDERS.
