There is unusual activity in In ternal Revenue circles, and all illegal operations will be put down at all hazards. Let offenders take notice. Married by Rev. J. H, Hall last Sunday at 2 p. m., at the residence of Mrs. Caroline Height, Mr. D. E. Brummitt and Miss Mary E. Height. The ladies prayer meeting on Tuesday afternoon at the Methodist Church was well attended, and the services were unusually interesting. We are pleased to learn that the mining interest of the Knap of Reeds section is on a regular boom. Along with the iron ore gold has been dir covered. Married near Wilkins on the 17th instant, Mr. E. Ferrell and Miss Lala, daughter of Mr. A. J. Veazy, Rev. Mr. McDuffie, of Durham, officiating. At the request of a large num ber of people the ladies and gentle men will repeat the Sacred Concert at the Presbyterian Church Friday night March 4th. Let's whoop up whatever helps the town and community, whether it is our enterprise or not. If it bene fits others we are apt to share its good effects in some way or other. A Third Party in North Carolina, with any considerable following, means nothing more nor less than to turn over the State to Republican rule, which would be to inaugurate another era of extravagance in the State. There will be some mighty inter esting politics in this country during the next ten months. Now is the time to subscribe ! The Public Lidger proposes to keep up with the procession and keep its readers informed. Has the committee done any thing about the new hotel ? We feel satisfied that our capitalist will see the great importance of its conduc tion and will join in the movement at once. It will be a winning card for our town. The wise man now goes into training for the self-denials of Lent by studying tip the tempting re sources of a possible fish diet, and gentle-woman thank her stars that the obligations of the season will not veto shopping or stop the fashion papers. That silenee is golden is evident ly believed by some of the business men of Oxford. They do not think it pays to keep their business before the public. Yet they are always glad when this paper or any one else whoops up the town, for they hope to get some of the benefits of the whopping: ? Strange is it not 1 C, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2(5, 1892. Mr. W. J. Mize and Miss Lizzie Adcock, were married on the 23rd, at Berea, by Squire Simpson Latta. It was a runaway match. Sheriff Crews has settled with State Treasurer Bain, paying over $11,792.32 State Tax. J. A. Crews and J. A. Taylor, are hummers on yauking the boodle out of the tax payers. The train on the Oxford & Hen derson Railroad left the track about one mile from town on Monday, and was not gotten back until late in the night. No one was hurt and but lit tle damage done. W. W. Devin, formerly with Messrs. Daniel & Co., Henderson, is now with Owen, Barbour & Smith. He is a hustler for his share of the Hardware trade. We predict it will pay you to see him before you by. Our Baptist friends are taking active steps for the erection of a handsome new church this summer. The worthy and talented pastor of this congregation is doing noble work in this direction, and we trust his efforts will be crowned with success. m Mr. John M. Taylor, now of Richmond, was married on Wednes day, to Miss Deane, one of the charming young ladies of that city. We in common with a host of friends wish him abundant happiness. Mr. Will Landis, of Oxford, was one of the waiters. On account of sore throat Rev. R. F. Bumpass did not preach on Sunday night, but our talented young lawyer, Mr. J. T. Strayhorn, arose and conducted services with much credit. He read a chapter in the new Testa ment, making some excellent com ments upon it. We predict a brilliant career for this accomplished young gentleman. Mr. W. C. Reed is not only a large dealer in tobacco, but is a good stock raiser. He has on his farm some of the finest thoroughbred stock in the country. His stallion Fonte nay, has no rival in this portion of the State, and is a beauty. We refer our readers to the advertisement concerning this beautiful animal in another column. We call the attention of our readers to the admirable letter of Dr. Pat. Booth to the Town Commissioners on the sanitary conditions of Oxford written some weeks ago. We take pleasure in giving space to it as it is worthy of consideration .The Board has already acted upon his sugges tion and elected Mr. T. D. Waller, sanitary officer, who has already done some excellent work in this direct ion. Messrs. Hundley Bros, are still branching out. They now have a down town office, for the convenience of the public, and they are now pre pared to do all kind of building, in a most satisfactory manner. They employ skilled labor and the large number of buildings they have con structed in Oxford and elsewhere is a guarantee of excellent workmanship. If you intend building be sure and consult these gentlemen. Owen, Barbour & Smith are dis cussing Leap Year in this issue. It is a well known fact that so far as we know, Mr. Sim Smith, has failed to leap into the affections of some fair daughter of Granville, but he has by fair dealing in selling hard ware, stoves, farming implements, buggies and wagons gotten on the soft side of many one of the fathers. He intend to stay right there if best goods at the lowest prices will ac complish it. PERSONAL SAYINGS. OF PEOPLE IN AND OUT OF THE TOWN.

We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of the Standard Music Hotise, of Winston, represented in Granville by Mr. A. W. Parham. If you intend to buy a piano or organ, we advise you to get Mr. Parham's prices, as he sells the very best makes, all of the lastest styles and at the most reasonable prices. Remember him when you get ready to purchase an intrumerit. The Durham Fertilizer Company now ranks among the best makers of commercial fertilizers in the country, and their brands are growing more popular each season. It produces fine tobacco and is sold at a most reasonable rate. Their goods are very popular in Granville as evi denced by the immense quantity sold to our farmer friends.

Because all diseases are the result of fermentation and decay, caused by living microbes in the human system, 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 use. Radam's Micbobx Kixlxr is nature's remedy, and is the greatest boon ever given to mankind, hence the spurious imitation 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 drags, nostrums, so called proprietary medicines, &c, all put to gether, because it removes the canse 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 exist 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-. tern in a natural andnealthy condition. Investigate the merits of this wonderful health giving discovery which h8 stood the test and cured thousands 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.
