THE PASSING LOCAL EVENTS OF THE DAY. What is Transpiring- Aronnd ami About Us, in Town and County Tlie Movements and lkoiugrs of Peo ple Von Know, hit: Reports come in of some slight damages done by the severe storm of yesterday afternoon. The board of trustees have in contemplation some improvements to the Oxford Orphan Asylum. C. D. Osborn has rented the Kingsbury mansion, and will use it as an annex of the Osborn House. Campbell & Co., the photograph ers ou Main street, are turning out very good work. Give them a call. Mayor Hicks has had several lit tle cases in the past few days, and added some small sums to the town treasury. Messrs. Hundley Bros, are now converting the old lodge building into a 9-room residence for Mr. C. F. Kingbury. The finishing touches are being given to the courthouse. It will be ready for use next term of Granville superior court. Lacy and Marshall McClinn, two little orphan boys from near Con cord, were received at the Oxford Orphan Asylum Tuesday. A Henderson smoking tobacco company, newly organized, have bought the Acme engine formerly used by the Oxford tobacco works. Mr. S. R. Howard, who lives near Satterwhite's, sheared 2 sheep last week and the wool weighed 28 pounds. They were only 1 year old. We are authorized by Messrs. J. A. Waller and G. L. Allen to state that they are not candidates for the nomination of Register of Deeds, or anv other office. Fred Carr, who entered the Uni versity last fall from the Horner School, was the only man at the Uni versity who had the highest grade in every study last term.

The Durham Sun records the death of Miss Ula, the youngest daughter of W. H. Rowland. She died at her father's home Thursday night, after several weeks" illness. We learn that Mr. W. Raker, the mining expert of Seth, has been sick several days. We trust he will soon be all right, as he is doing a great deal to develop the mineral re sources of Granville. The catalogue of the Oxfcml Fe male Seminary is out, and it is a very neat and interesting publica tion. The corps of instructors is a very strong one. The next session opens Wednesday, August 31. Dr. R. W. Hobgood, the Irish potato grower of this section, came to town on Friday and placed upon our table the finest we have seen this season. The doctor is one of our best farmers and a true Allianceman. "That tired feeling" we hear so much about has gotten too strong a hold upon some of 'owv people. In these days success is only achieved by the hustlers, and those who make it an eveiy day business to sit down and growl and groan get severely left and get just what they richly deserve. In the expressive langu age of the street, "Get a move on you !" OXFORD, N. C, FRIDAY, JOLY 1, 1892. Mr. R. W. Downey, of Buchan an, accompanied by his attractive daughter, was in town Wednesday. We want to have a specially live tobacco market this fall the indi cations are that there will be a big crop to sell and some lively hust ling is necessary on the part of our warehousemen during the summer months. Tom Jones, the seven-year-old negro boy arrested on the charge of breaking into Brown & Jones1 gro cery store, was before Mayor Hicks Monday, and his honor sent him to jail for safe keeping until the grand jury meets.

Hardee, who has re cently been taking a post graduate course at the famous old University of Mai'yland is again back to his post of duty at Virgilina wThere he will be found ever ready to serve the sick and afflicted. There was a heavy rain late Monday afternoon. It was preceded by a high wind that was perilously near a cyclone. Just east of town considerable hail fell. The ther mometer dropped fifteen degrees in a very short while. Young Sam Couch, son of S. L. Couch, met with a painful accident Tuesday afternoon. While u a tree in the yard of Capt. R. P.

The burial took place Thursday at old homestead in Wake county. The Raleigh News and Observer says: "For three generations Oxford has been famous for its schools, and at no time in her history has she had so many flourishing ones. There seems to be something in the at mosphere of the place conducive .to the success of schools." The Durham Globe says : "Mr, and Mrs. Bowling, with their little child, 2 years old, accompanied by Dr. Bryan, all from Hester, Gran ville county, are at Rev. Alexander Walker's for the purpose of having the madstone applied to the little child, who was badly bitten by a rabid dog a few days ago.
