It was at tended by something under a score of Oxford's chivalry ana ery passed off most pleasantly. The bo- cial converse was of an enjoyable character and the good things of the table prepared in the most exquisite stvle of the culinary art were the theme of praise and were highly en- joyed by the guests. It would be hard to equal the excellence of the entertainment in all its features. It is no idle compliment to say it was a brilliant success. Death of John Pleasants. We publish with much regret the account of the death of the above named gentleman on Saturday morn- ing, February 6th, who was well and favorably known in this community. He expired suddenly immediately after partaking of a hearty breaK- fast. He was m very good spirits on the morning of his demise little dreaming that death would so soon Kpnrl its arrow into his vitals and that he would so soon be called to give an account of the deeds done in the body. He was about 75 years of fie and leaves a familv to mourn "o " for him towards whom he was a lov ing and kind head. We offer them C3 our sympathy and condolence. JPrrsldcnt Winston's Address.

Mr. Eugene Currin is making many improvements to his residence. He is one of our large leaf dealers, but very quiet about it. We think it does Graham Hunt, Manager of the Alliance warehouse, more g00& to get good prices for to- baeco than anv man we ever saw. hen ne makes a good sale his face is all smiles Mr. Fielding Knott, one or our most widely known tobacco growers, has for several seasons had fertilizer manufactured from his own formula for his own use. It has brought such good results that he has deter mined to put it on the market for sale this season. The Alliance Tobacco Factorv, under the management of Dr. A. J. Dalby. has proved a great success. The factory has built up an immense trade and orders are pouring in from an over the countrv dailv. The manufacturing department is in charge of a gentleman who puts up brands equal to the best. It hafl been discovered that Mr. W. T c c Tr A t a. Bowli of the Minor, are the two light weight drummers of the Oxford market. It takes both of them to make a cart ride easy, but of course thev do not ride together through the country as they represent two different warehouses, but, however, if they are light weight they can stand an awful sight of hard riding and generally "get there" both on tobacco and prices. It bearins to look as if the new Western Cigarette Co. was sure to come to the front. The New York Tobacco leaf says : The name of the new company which report says has been formed to oppose the American Tobacco Co. is the Columbia Cig- arettee and Tobacco Co. It is to have a paidup capital of $1,000,000, shares Qf $100 each, and is to manufacture cigarettes and smoking tobacco. A. J- JL V IAJ-L J S A- J.

Mr. Hunt had presence of mind enough when he fell over backwards to cling to the barrel, keeping it from falling on his body, but lacerating one of his hands in an awful manner. The barrel fell across one leg and foot, bruising up and spraining the same. Mr. Hunt suffered a great deal of pain and will not be able to work for some daysi It was a narrow escape. EX-GO V. SCALES DEAD. A. Xoble xonh Carolinian Home. Oatberod Greensboro, Feb. 9. 'General Ai red M. Scales, ex Governer of North Carolina, died here at 9:05 tonight. SKETCH OF HIS LIFE. Alfred Moore Scales was born No vember 26, 1827, at "Ingleside," in Rockingham county, says the Raleigh Chronicle. He studied law under Judges Settle and Battle and was ad mitted to the bar about 1850, and in 1 85 1 was solicitor of the county cour': of Rockingh.im. He served in the leg slature of 1852 3. In 1855 ne was the Democratic candidate for Congress in his district, and though Scales was defeated, hisWhig opponent was elect ed by a much decreased majority. The year 1854 saw him again in the legislature and in 1857, after a spirited canvass, he defeated Hon. R. C. Puryear,, his former Whig opponent, and elected to Congress. Two years later he was renominated, but was defeated by Gen. Leach, the nominee of the Whigs. In 1860 Gen. Scales was elector on the BreckenridgeLane ticket. At the opening of the war Gen. Scales volunteered as a private, but quickly rose to the rank of Captain. He succeeded Pender as Colonel of the 13th North Carolina, and was in the skirmishes at Yorktown, the bat tie of Williamsburg and the fights around Richmond, at Fredericksburg and in Jackson's flank movement at Chancellorsville, where he was wound ed. Shortly after this battle and while recovering from the effects of his wound, Scales was made Brigadier General. General Scales was also severely wounded at Gettysburg. From this time on he was engaged in all the battles of the Army of North ern Virginia except the final struggle at Appomattox. In 1874 he was elected to Congress and served for rive consecutive terms In 1884 he was elected Governor of North Carolina by 20,000 majority. After serving out his term of office he retired to private life and became in terested in financial enterprises, being at the lime of his death president of the Bank of Greensboro. l ne Lrenerai nas Deen lingering on on the verge of the grave for months and his death has been expected al- most daily.

ADONIRAM ARTICLES. SOMETHING ABOUT COUNTY AFFAIRS OTHER NEWS. How about the Oxford & Coast Line Railroad? Mr. William Raker, of Blue Wing, has purchased Spikesburg from Mr. John W. Rhodes and will remove his family there in a few days. The Masons of this section have had Mr. Dockery Peed among them for two weeks giving them lectures, and on the 29th of January gave a public plc-nic at County Line acad emy, together with an oyster dinner. The lodge here has been very much revived lately. Our farmers have had fine weather for burning plant land for the last two weeks and have no doubt made use of it, but the people generally in Granville and Person counties and Mecklenburg and Halifax counties, Va., four as good tobacco counties as can be found anywheie, will cer tainly pay less attention to the culture of tobacco than they have for the last twelve years past, I know whereof I speak. We heartily endorse what you say in your paper about the American Tobacco Company. They are try ing to make all the money they can not privately but with a bold and oppressive" hand. We cannot cen sure Mr. J. Matt Currin, their repre sentative on the Oxford market, for he, I know, is a noble, good and lib eral christian gentleman and would be glad to give the farmers just twice or three times as much for their tobacco as he is allowed to pay, but he is employed to represent this company and it is honest, fair and manly to do his best for them. But when we raise our home supplies, weave our own clothes and live at home we will come up on the blind side of somebody and down them. The action of the Commissioners in granting license to sell whiskey has caused veiy great comment by oar church people. They say it is wrong to grant license to sell spirit uous liquors. Probably the Com missioners understand the law dif ferently from these people. I for one am not in favor of partial pro hibition but will do anything reason able for entire and complete prohi bition. I do not think the Commis sioners made any very great mistake in granting license for many and ya rious reasons. The drug stores in Oxford would not sell whiskey only on prescription from a doctor apd there is not a doctor in Oxford that I am personally acquainted with that would prescribe whiskey foi a man just to please him, but it would cause some people to enter into what is known around local option towns as the jug trade; and to carry on this jug trade profitably they would nave to commence blockading, then be caught up with, tried and sent to Albany. How would it do to pass a law that every time a man was caught drunk instead of simply put ting him to bed in the lock-up make him work 30 days upon the streets under that vigilant and worthy of ficer Chief of Police J. A. Renn ? This is election year and seeing your offer for new subscribers dur ing the year by putting the subscrip tion price down to one dollar per year for your paper, I think every friend to good, true Democracy in the county should bestir themselves to secure you one or more subscrib ers. This election is going to be a rather peculiar one. People are going to be hard to get organized, and nothing does more to thoroughly arouse people and make them ac quainted with the issues than a good home paper. It makes people be come somewhat personally acquaint ed with the party nominee. So every county officer of Granville should pay you for at least 10 extra sub scribers. In reerard to nominees w are going to keep a look out for dif Eerent candidates and expect to have some little turn about in ailairs. I for one intend to have some swap ping done. We do not want all the county funds spent in the court house walls nor do we intend all the county spoils to be had by two 01 three families.

He is not only one of the truest men in the Old North State to his constituents but he is a man of backbone, and is, we think, one of the brainiest men in the State.

His people at home love him for hia manly and noble qualities, and he has an influence in the county sec ond to no man who ever lived in Granville.
