LOCAL HAPPENINGS. THE PASSING LOCAL EVENTS OF THE DAY. What is Transpiring? Around and About lis, in Town and County The Movements and Iolnj?s of Peo ple Yon Know. Etc. Only two deaths in Oxford in February. We learn that Mr. J. T. C. Nor wood is quite sick at his home near btovall. The County Work House cost the tax payers $190.91 foi the month of February. Read the new legal notices in this issue and govern yourselves ac cordingly, if you should be interest ed. The Republican County Conven tion has been called by Chairman C. M. Rogers, to meet in Oxford on March 26th, to elect delegates to the State Convention. Mr. T. D. Waller, the sanitary officer, has been instructed by the Board of Town Commissioners to have the town thorourghly cleaned during the month. We are gratified to learn that our highly esteemed friend, Mr. W. J. Badgett, who has been sick for some time, is improving and we hope to see him m town soon. The ladies are great workers in the churches. We learn that the lady members of the Episcopal Church at Stovall have recently put a new organ in the church. Still marching on. We have added since our last issue 29 new subscribers to the Public Ledger. Send them right along friends and help us build up a first-class county paper. Mr. Robert Pleasant, who sold some tobacco at the Johnson Ware house on Tuesday, had the misfortune to lose one of his horses that night. We sympathize with Mr. Pleasant in his loss. W invite the careful attention of our readers to the leading firms, represting a large number of our business houses, under the head or Business Directory, and invite them to extend their patronage to thes gentlemen. Mrs. G. W. Williams, the mother of Mrs. Jerome Horner, died in Wil mington on Monday. Mrs. Horner was on a visit to Wilmington at the time. We deeply sympathize with this most estimable lady in her bereavement. The Sacred Concert at the Pres byterian Church on Friday evening, March, 4th, wTas a grand affair. All the participants acquitted themselves m a handsome manner, ine sing ing of Messrs. Darnell and Heart, of Durham, were especially complimen ted. We learn with pleasure that Mr. J. G. Hall has purchased from Mr. B. F. Kronheimer the vacant lot on Kingsbury place, situated between Copper's Bank and Odd Fellows Temple, and will during the summer erect a handsome 3-story building thereon. Turn on the lights. It now turns out that a portion of the proceedings of the Town Commissioners of a cer tain meeting in August concerning the Oxford & Coast Line Railroad was not recorded and cannot be ac count for. Somebody is responsible, who is it ? We ask all persons to read with out fail the advertisement of Mr. C. W. Westbrook, the great Gardner of Oxford, in another column. This is an important industry in our commu nity and our people should by all means extend to him a most liberal patronage. One of the greatest booms to humanity in this country is good bread, and it takes fine flonr to make it. The best brands put up in this country to-day is Patapeo, along with other noted brands by C. A Gamball & Co. It is the standard and can b had at all first-class groceries. Try it and you will use it in preference to all other brands. Read the adver tisement in another column The colored man, Richard Tuck, who has been waiting on Mr. R. Broughton for a long time died on Sunday with the dropsy. By his uniform politeness he had many friends among both colored and white people of Oxford who regret to learn of his demise. Mrs. Martha J. Rogers died at the residence of Mr. W. T. Adams near Dutchville on Thursday, March, 3, with a cancer," aged . She has been a sufferer for 4 years, and had been confined to the house 18 months. Her remains were interred at the late homestead of William Coley on Friday. Mayor Hicks the dispenser of justice for the town, tried 16 law breakers during February, and added $40 to the town funds. He has made Oxford a good paintaking official, and we here take occasion to place him in nomination to preside over our corporation for the coming year. He is a man of the people. Dick Jeffreys, who escaped from the work house guard has been cap tured, but Daniel Pollock has gone again. Mr. Parham, brought him to town on Monday and left Pollock at a blacksmith shop to guard him self for awhile, and he walked off, and we dont blame him. What is the matter with the guards anyhow ? Rev. J. H. Hall, the genial and wholesouled preacher in charge of Oxford circuit, lost his pocket book on Saturday containing his last V, but it did not in the least dampen his spirits. He dropped it on the street and littl Robert G. Lassiter found it, and it was soon restored to its good-natured owner, who warmly thanked the young man. Another small industry that would be of great value to Ox ford is a canning factory. It would require but little capital, wouldgive employment to a number of hands, pay a big dividend and add immense ly to the reputation of Oxford by as a market for fruit and vegetables. If we want to bring people here to trade, we must offer them a market for what they have to sell. Suppose we try it. Mr. Sidney Minor, who was undergoing an examination at West Point, did not reach home until the day after the death of his father, and although passed an examination will not return to West Point, and there will still be a vacancy from this dis trict in the U. S. Military Academy. Sidney is one of our most promising young men, a noble " son, and will be a great comfort to his dear mother, brother and sisters. , . REV. DK. BAILEY PARALYZED. A Sudden Attack as He Was About to Pronounce tke Benediction. Sunday afternoon in Raleigh, as I Rev. Dr. Christopher C. Bailey, edi tor of the Bibical Recorder was about to pronounce the benediction at the Third Baptist church, he was strick en with paralysis. The attac'k, so sharp and sudden, caused a profound sensation. Dr. Bailey was at once taken to his home. It was found that the attack was of the throat and vocal organs, and that the power of speech was entirely gone. The at tack is a severe one and a fatal termination is apprehended. Dr. Bailey is a native of Tidewater, Vir ginia, and is one of the best known southern Baptists. His paper is one of the most active organs of that church. For some years he has not been in robust health. Later report says that he has somewhat regained his speech. Guaranteed Cure.
