THE PASSING LOCAL EVENTS OF THE DAY. What is Transpiring Around and About Us, in Town and County The Movements and Doings of Peo ple Ton Know. Etc. Mr. J. V.

Mrs. John Glenn and her nine l-l 1 '1 li T year out son were urowneu on Mon day in a pond near Fantosh, Durham county, while setting some nets. Manager Graham Hunt, of the Alliance Warehouse sold on Tues day, some tobacco from Ohio. It was about as sorry as we ever saw. Our neighboring town of Hen- lerson went dark on Saturday night. The Electric Company has closed down, and it is now thought the town will buy the plant. Mr. Badger Yancy, of Person, died last week at Morganton, and his remains were brought home for in terment. He was 45 years old and was a merchant for several years. Mr. T. D. Waller's term as sani tary officer of Oxford has expired, and Chief of Police Renn will assume the duties. Mr. Waller proved him self quite efficient and accomplished a great deal for the health of the town. One of the reason perhaps why office-holders are called public ser vants is that like all servants they run things to suit themselves. The people are tired of it and are going to elect men who will be really the servants of the people. The citizens of Tally Ho town ship who live near Jones store have petitioned the Post Office Depart ment for the establishment of a Post office at the above named store by the name of Meadows. We trust they will succeed in getting the Post- office. Congressman luoses, oi ua., a prominent Allianceman says : I warn the people against this People's party. It is pregnant with unseen dangers. 'Beware of ex-Republicans n.-rwi missionaries irom our enemies. who are persuading us to pull down the walls ot Democracy. The roof of the cottage occupied bv Mr. Ij.

We regret that we have no fa vorable news of the health of Justice - j i T T Tia.vis. ot the ttimreme court, xiis illness is a matter of serious concern to the whole State, for North Caro lina never experienced a greater necessity for the counsel of virtuous intelligent men. We hope soon to hear of the complete recovery of this r,ATioet.Miidpe. taithtul mend, and useful citizen.Chroiiicle. N. C, FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1892. Granville County Farmer's Alli ance will meet in Oxford, Thursday, the 14th. Mr. J. B. V. Tunstall has been appointed tax collector for Sassafras Fork township to collect 1891 tax. Hon. A. H. A. Williams and Col. L. L. Polk, will address the people ot Caswell at Yanceyville on Thurs day, the 14th hist. Messrs. Brooks & Co., will re move on Monday to the store lately occupied by B. G. Medford, in Mitch ell Block, next door to the Public Ledger office. The election in Rhode Island on Tuesday was a warm fight, but it is said that the Republicans captured the Legislature, with a chance to elect Wardwell, Democrat Governor. Mr. W. D.

Cannady informs us that , the infant child of Mr. Willie Pittard, near Clays, is quite sick. We trust the little one will soon re- cover and gladden tne hearts or its parents with its sweet smiles. Preparations are being made by the ladies, for a pleasant evening at the Lecture Room of the Presbyterian Church, on Friday next, April 8th. Abundance of the best ice cream, cake, and rare dishes, fv;m the hands of the "Cooking Class." Mayor A. A. Hicks is filling out the term of the lamented L. G. Smith, and has made a clean record and should be unanimously nominated for the office of Mayor. Give us Hicks and et him continue the march of im provements he has inaugurated. The weighing of mails on the Washington and Charlotte railroad is finished. Each train going South averaged 10,500 pounds and those going North 0,000. ' The total num ber of pounds handled daily amount ed to 31,000. For this the railroad company receives an annual com pensation of $377,071.75. The way to build up a communi ty, says the Sentinel, is for the peo ple to work together and help each other. The dollar spent at home instead of being sent away is that much kept at home. Besides home people get the benefit of the patron age, and when a man prospers with out injury to his neighbors he bene fits the entire community. Mr. J. S. Pool, a leading citizen of Oak Hill township, was in Oxford on Monday, in attendance upon the meeting of Board of County Com missioners. He presented a petition accompanied by a splendid drawing for a bridge across Aron Creek, near Buchanan, which is really needed b the citizens of that section. Mr. Pool is a staunch friend of the Public Ledger, and of course call to see us. The Wilmington Messenger pays the following compliment to Dr. J. M. Hays, who left Oxford last week to make Washington City his home 4 'He is a young physician of fine parts with the experience of some six or eight year. After completing his course m tins country he studied m Germany. We regret to see our young and gifted friend leaving the old State. But good talents like to eret near the centre. Success to him in his hew home." There is nothing that builds up a town more than a live newspaper, and it is within the power of the people to make it such" by their sup- port by advernsmgjsuoseripuons am job printing. Nothing builds up a county and town more than a good paper, one that goes into nearly fivm- home in the county. The ' Public Ledger can be made a better paper if the people will patronize us We will give value received, no asking for a contribution. I have several desirable residences in Oxford for sale. Aso some dw elling and tores for rent. Jnq A. Williams. PERSONAL SAYINGS. OF PEOPLE IN AND OUT OF THE TOWN.
