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 You Know. Etc. Master Charley Best has resumed his old position at the O. & C. Depot. Messrs. Hart & Lawrence and C. J. Ward have put. up nice awings. Mr. W. J. Stem has rented the Royster place near Oxford and re moved thereto. The little 5-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Moore continues quite sick we are sorry to state. All our excellent schools took holiday on Monday and the pupils had a most glorious time pic-nicing. Mrs. R. T. Smith's splendid green house, suffered serious break age from the hail storm of last week. A large number of our young people enjoyed pic-nics on Monday at Cheatham's mill and Herndon pond. A generous act. The Cotton Mills of Wilmington have presented the Oxford Orphan Asylum with 800 yards of cloth. Mr. T. R. Southerland, who has been spending some time in Oxf&d, has decided to open a drug store at Newport News, Va. What a time our merchants did have on Tuesday with thirteen drum mers In town at one time. But C. D. Osborn, the popular hotelist made by the operation. Mr. B. II . Cozart, the working man pf the Center Warehouse, attended Roxboro court, and shook hands with a host of the good far raers of Person county. As a result of Tuesday's election in Lousiana returns from the State at large show the Foster-Farmers Al liance combination ticket is elected by 40,000 plurality or more. Some political horses may be sired by the particular bosses but from our way of thinking they run a big risk of being dammed by the whole people of the county. Messrs. A. Landis & Sons, J. P. Stedman and Brown & Jones have put up neat and attractive awnings in front of their stores. Each one has their sign nicely painted on it. Mr. Sidney Minor has decided not to return to West Point, and Mr. Ed Landis has been appointed to fill the vacancy. Young Ed is now at Warrenton, Va., preparing for the examination. Mr. J. A. Renn has been elected Vice Grand, of Oxford Lodge, No. 103, I. O. O. F., in place of Dr. J. M. Hays, and Mr. D. N. Hunt, Finan cial Secretary with I. H. Stegall Inside Guardian. Whenever you purchase any thing from the men who advertise in the Public Ledger, if you would tell them that you saw their adver tisement in this paper, it would greatly benefit us. Tell them. It remains to be seen whether the Convention which meets next month in Raleigh is going to knock the pegs from under some of the would be dictators of the people. Bossism is playing out in this coun try. The attention of the ladies is di rected to the advertisement of Mrs. J. T. Britt elsewhere. She has an attractive line of goods that can be bought at bottom prices. She also has a first class trimmer from Balti more. We learn from Mr. R. R. Callis who was in Oxford on Tuesday that a new postofiice has just been estab lished in Vance county near the Granville line at Parham's store by the name of Colton, with Mr. Ollie Parham as post mastsr. We deeply regret to learn that the accomplished- Miss Eliza Pool was thrown from a buggy by a run away horse in Raleigh on Saturday afternoon and painfully injured, and will not be able to resume her duties in the school room for a week. N. C, FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1892. Washington correspondent Rich5 mond Times says: Representative Williams has returned from North Carolina. He says that the Demo cratic prospect is brightening very perceptibly there and feels sure the State will be in line for the coming fight. The following gentlemen have been chosen vestrymen of St. Ste phen's church : J. C. Horner, H. A. Taylor, J. G. Hall, R. W. Lassiter, W. C. Reed, Col. J.Johnson, Co1.. R. J. Mitchell, J. S. Hunt, W. J. Boykin, D.. G. Devenish, J. A. Taylor, A. J. Feild. Tuesday at Henderson the at tractive new Episcopal Church of the Holy Innocent was consecrated by Bishop Lyman of the Western Dio cese of North Carolina. A large con gregation greeted him, and Rev. J. M. Horner, of Oxford, assisted in the services. The people of North Carolina will regret to learn that the health of Senator Vance ' has become so im paired that it will necessitate his return to the State to recuperate. We know every true North Caroli nian will wish him a speedy restora tion to health. Col. Elias Carr, of Edgecomb, ex-president of the State Alliance, has published a letter declaring against the St. Louis platform. He draws a comparison between that and the Ocala platform, and shows that the latter is more favorable to the Alliance interests than the ror mer. From the signs of the times it will be a cold, raw, chilly year for the politicians, as the farmers are deter mined to elect men who will stand unreservedly by their demands for relief. It has become a life and death struggle and they are going to fight for freedom from the money power. At the . Sunday-School Conven tion held in Charlotte last week our Rev. C. A. Jenkins delivered an able address on the Holy Spirit's work in the preparation, exposition and application of Scripture lessons in the Sunday schools. Mr. Jenkins is one of the ablest Baptist divines in the State. If you have any business in Granville Superior Court get ready as Judge Whitaker will open court promptly at 10 o'clock on Monday. Clerk W. A. Bobbitt and his efficient assistant, Mr. Frank Wimbish, have everything in readiness. Court will be held in the Opera House as the Court House is not completed. The recent hail storm did a great deal of damage in some sections. Mr. J. B. Parham, of our own county had 27 window lights broken out of his house, and the hail stones it is said were so large that they made about 100 holes in the tin roof of his dwelling. He also had some 500 yards of plant bed-cloth torn to pieces. If the different persons who are projecting a new hotel in Oxford will only get together they might suc ceed in erecting a hotel that would be worth talking about. A good hotel in Oxford would really supply a long felt want, and would in itself com mand attention and attract visitors to Oxford. Come together gentle men and build the hotel. Dr. Coggeshall, and his most estimable lady, are now fixed up snugly in their home in South Oxford. Dr. Coggeshall has made many mark ed improvements to the old Grandy homestead, and is now one of the nicest places around Oxford. His farm is also in a fine condition as we passed it a few days ago. We wish the Doctor great success. Through trains will be put on the Seaboard Air Line between Ports mouth and Atlanta on the 15th of May. The schedule will be a fast one, making only two stops between Weldon and Raleigh, at Henderson and Kittrell. The company now has for this service twelve high-class pas senger engines, built especially for it, and a good supply of cars. In the early fall vestibule trains will be put on. The present passenger sched ules will remain unchanged, these trains doing the local work as way trains. PERSONAL SAYINGS. OF PEOPLE IN AND OUT OF THE TOWN.

Meadows, have re turned home. Messrs. J. D. Bullock and Robt. Hester, two of our excellent young men, spent Saturday and Sunday in Greenville on special business. We suppose they went to spend Easter with their best girls. Mr. T. W. Washington spent a few days in Oxford last week and his familiar voice was heard on Friday at the Alliance warehouse. He is a capital auctioneer and tobacco brought good prices for these times. Mr. T. B. Jeffreys, of Rocky Mount, spent a few days this week with his family. We are glad to chronicle that Mrs. Jeffreys who has been sick for four months is rapidly getting well and will soon be out. This is good news to her mumerous friends, in Oxford and the county. $1.50 PER ANNUM.
