THE PASSING LOCAL EVENTS OF THE DAY. What in Transpiring; Around and About Us, in Town and County The Movements and Doiiiffs of Peo ple Ton Know. Etc. Mr. J. F. Edwards has been busy this week covering the new portion of the Court House. Health Officer Waller has had Spring- street near the residence of Mr. R. H. McGuire ditched. The street force is out again and some of our thoroughfares are pres enting a neater appearance. Work on the Oxford & Coast I Line Railroad is progressing finely since the weather cleared up. Mrs. J. T. Britt is now receiving a beautiful and attractive line of Spring and Summer Millinery. Mr. J. D. Allen has opened up a confectionary in the blue front store next to Lynch's Jewelry Store. Mr. J. G. Daniel has opened up a good stock of general merchandise at Lewis, where he would bo glad to have all his friend call. Bear the fact in mind that you can get first-class Job Printing exe cuted at the Public Ledger office at bed rock prices. Give us a trial. We are sorrv to learn that our noble Senator Vance has been sick for ten days, but has so far recovered as to be able to resume his seat m the Senate. Senator Hill has arrived in Washington. If he has all the cheers and plaudits of his tour packed away in his valise, he will be able to start a gas factory in the city. Several shipments of tobacco from Alamance county were sold on our market during the past week at most satisfactory prices. The Center Warehouse was headquarters and "Uncle Hub" made it bring good money. - The ubiquitous Geo. D. Pittard turned up in Oxford on Saturday with some fine specimen of Magnetic Iron Ore which assayed 67-50-100. It was taken from a mine on the lands of William Tippett, at Knap of Reeds, and is found in large quan tities. Are the Town Commissioners going to allow some of their subordi nates to tamper with their proceed ings and not call them to account for such high handed authority ? Who ever is guilty should be made to step dowrn and out at once. Turn on the lights gentlemen without fear, favor or affection. Hon. Rogers Q. Mills has been unanimously elected Senator from" Texas. When the news was received in the House of Representatives at Washington the announcement was greeted with applause from the floor and galleries which lasted several minutes, and was joined in by the Republicans. The delegates to the State Con vention of the Young Men's Chris tian Association which is in session at Greensboro are : D N. Hunt, Prof. F. P. Hobgood, Willie Landis, R. W. Lassiter, J. V. Rice, J. T. Strayhorn, R. H. McGuire, Dr. J. E. Wyche, Rev. R. F. Bumpass and Col. W. A. Bobbitt. The following patents have been issued for North Carolina, and it will be seen that Oxford captured two of them : W llliam F. Beasley, Oxford, two patents, mail bag and lock therefor; Laurens A. Fort, Raleigh, bird-trap; Horace L. Freeman, Lexington, tobacco-hanger; Frank W. Carpenter, High Point, assignee of one-half to D. G. Devenish, of Oxford tobacco pipe cleaner. Mr. Frank Blount, of the North State Music Company, Raleigh, is again in our town after an extended trip through Granville and Virginia, m the interest of his house. He has sold several instruments in and around Oxford and reports business in his line very good throughout the county. Mr. B. has made a great many friends while in our town and imptesses us as a gentleman and clever salesman. N. C, FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1892. Not a single ray of light has penetrated into the gloom which overshadows that particular portion of the proceedings of the Town Dads concerning the issueing of the bonds ot the Oxford & Coast Line Railroad. Turn on the lights Clerk Fleming, and your tale unfold concerning the order that is gently slumbering in a pigeon hole. We stick to it, that Oxford pays the highest averages for tobacco of any market in the State, which is con clusive evidence that it is the place to sell all grades of tobacco. Our buyers are real hungry for tobacco direct from the farmers, and not from country buyers, as this system has done more to damage our market than most people can imagine. We more than regret to state that the dry goods firm of Messrs. Hart & Lawrence have found it necessary to make an assignment, and we learn from reliable authority that they will resume business in a short time. These gentlemen have built up a large trade and have made many warm friends in Granville, who express many regrets at the misfor tune that has overtaken this clever firm. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

Corsets for sale bv A. Landis & Sons, which stand high for durabili ty, comfort and ease. Mr. S. D. Hicks is o.fforinsr for sale some valuable farming land in Vance county, which can be bought on most reasonable terms.

Medford has opened a splen did line of Groceries, Confectioneries, Cigars, &c, in the store lately occu pied bv R. W. Jones & Co., on Com- 4. ' meicial Avenue, next to Mrs. J. T.

The old reliable producer of fine tobacco, the Ober Fertilizer, is again handled this season by Mi. Jos. A. Webb, who is prepared to sell it at the lowest possible figures. Now is the tinie to place your order for this fertilizer. The Banking House of J. C. Coon- j-, er & Sons makes a splendid showing m their statement.

It has an ample xiniiilv of moTifiv necessarv to do the STL' 'J f business of the community and each year adds to its strengtn. Prosperity would Follow In the Wake. An exchange says : The farmer actually pays a premium for bad roads. He pavs it in time expended in geCting to market; in value of. drafting animals and the food they eat and m the extra hands for their care and handling, in increased num ber of vehicles and wear and tear of them and in the decreased product of the land that has less attention and care. If the country had a sys tem of smooth and hard highways it would blossom like a rose and pros perity would follow in the wake. PERSONAL SAYINGS. OF PEOPLE IN AND OUT OF THE TOWN.
