Massey, District Lecturer, was elected a delegate to the St. Louis meeting on the 22nd. Some of our citizens have receiv ed during the past few weeks circu lars from the "green goods men" in New York, but no one has been fool ish enough to pay any attention to them. A merchant's retail protective association has been organized in Oxford for mutual protection. The object and aim of which will appear in our next issue, being crowded out this week. Mr. John F. Cannady, was in Oxford on Monday and purchased from Messrs. Owen, Barbour & Smith the handsomest pheaton we have seen brought to the town. It is first-class in every respect. -We remind our business men, that we are daily turning out first- class wrork in our Job Department, and ask them to extend us a share of their patronage. Orders by mail promptly filled. "We direct attention to the ad vertisement of the old reliable under taker, Mr. Wm. Hunter, in this issue. In case you should need anything in his line be sure and call as it will be money in your pocket. The work house is now minus a hand, as Will Allen, colored, sen tenced to work on the public roads took leg bail on Monday night. The question now arises who was the guard ? He was recaptured. Married, by Rev. V. A Sharp, at the residence of the brides father, Jan. 27th, Mr. W. E. Jeffries, of Rocky Mount, to Miss Dena, young est daughter of R. A. Lyon, of Gran ville. We extend congratulations. We have made arrangements whereby we can offer the Public Ledger and the weekly Atlanta Constitution one year for 1.50. Send in your names friends, as this is a rare opportunity. We want 2,000 new subscribers. Chief of Police Renn was' con fined to his home several days during the past week on account of sickness. He has gotten his grip on a large number of offenders of the law, but la grippe arrested and imprisoned him for a week. The brilliant auroral which was seen in the northern sky from 7 until 8 p. m., on Saturday night was view ed by a large number of people. The cloud was a pale, delicate, yet beau tiful crimson, with here and there light colored perpendicular lines which presented a remarkable pic C, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1892, A neat fence now adorns the front of Mr. Rufus Knott's residence on Main street. Mr. J. R. Renn and son Henry, of Hargrove, dropped in to see us on Monday. We learn fro,m Mr. Renn that he had 4 ewes all white that had 7 lambs, 4 of which were black, 2 brown and white spotted, and one white. He has not a black sheex in his flock and cannot account for the colored lambs. We are not stuck up about the rapid increase in the circulation of the Public Ledger, and are proud to have our friends in different por tions of the county aid us. Let the good work continue, and send along names as the time to get the paper for one dollar until the first of January will soon be out. And now a pertinent question presents itself to the people of Ox ford: What are you going to do about the new hotel? It should be built. There is a large amount of travel to Oxford and we believe it would be a paying investment for some of our capitalists. Put your heads together, gentlemen, and let it be built this summer. There is not a firm in Oxford who enjoys the esteem and confidence of their patrons more than A. Landis & Sons whose store is always filled with first-class goads. They are progressive and keep up with the times and there are few calls to which they cannot respond. They are now selling goods at grea; bargains and it will pay you to give them a call. We direct the attention of our farmer readers to the change in the advertisement of Messrs. Bullock & Mitchell, proprietors of the Banner Warehmise. They are very clever and liberal minded gentlemen, and have had long experience in handling the farmers tobacco and have gained the confidence of all. There can be found no better place to sell, and all they ask is a trial. Dollie Thomasson, who is wanted for infanticide, was captured near the Franklin county line in Brassfield township on Monday by a colored man brought to Oxford and put in jail. She is sick, no doubt, brought on by exposure, in trying to evade arrest. She stands charged with a great crime that of murdering her own child. The Third Party advocates of Vance met at Henderson on the 13th and organized with S G Satterwhite as chairman and E Thorne, secretary. The county executive committee is Geo Wright, A Burwell, George F Wortham, Joseph P Edwards, J L Cheatham, D H Gill, John Floyd, S G Satterwhite, Lewis Hawkins, J W Hawkins and J W Plummer. Four of the committee are colored. Mr. Charles C. Parham and Miss Jodie Matthews were happily mar ried on the 10th, Esquire W. A. Par- ham performing the ceremony in his nsiifil hftu-Dv manner. The bride's j- - v father, Mr. J. T. Matthews, gave a sumptuous supper to the wedding party which was greatly enjoyed. We learn that a fat opossum was on the table, and as Mr. W. A. Parham has a weakness for that kind of meat he hovered near this part of the table. Hardware ana" Bngis. R U in it? We R and have prices that will sell vou.

R ADAM'S TICKOBE T ILLER ADAM'S UJLlCROHE JXlLLER CURES AIX DISEASES. Because all diseases are the result of fermentation and decay, caused by living microbes in the human eyeteni, and whatever rem edy will purify the blood by removing the cause of disease and build up the health and strength of the patient, is the one to uee. Kadam's Microbe Killeb is nature's remedy, and is the greatest boon evjer given to mankind, hence the spurious imitations which follow in the path of its wonderful cures of Consumption, Catarrh. Debility, Indigestion, Rheumatism, Bowel, Bladder, Skin and all other diseases which are quickly and permanently cured by this never failing compound which has done more for suffeiing humanity than all the prescriptions of poisonous drugs, nostrums, so called proprietary medicines. &c, all put to gether, because it removes the cause of disease and insures health. Thousands of voluntary cer tificates of almost miraculous cures attest these facts, and demonstrate to the world that Wm. Radam, the Great Pioneer in his Wonderful Dis covery, has gone far ahead of all other explorers in scientific fields, and has demonstrated beyond a doubt that no disease can r-xist without a dis ordered system, and his superb remedy stands -at the front because it is THE ORIGINAL AND OLD RELIABLE Microbe Killer a palatable remedy which cures diseases by arresting decay and placing the sys tem in a natnral and healthy condition. Investigate the merits of this wonderful health eivinc discovery which he stood the test and curedthousands of all manner of disease; and be ware of all other so-called germ or microbe de stroyers, which are often thus advertised to sell their otherwise worthless mixtures, and which are but imitators of this great wonder working remedy. . . , For full particulars and certificates of wonder ful cures, address J.
