Ayer's Pills, the mildest and most reliable cathartic in use, correct all irregularities of the stomach, liver, and bowels, and, in a brief time, relieve the most distressing headache. These pills are highly recommended by the profession, and the demand for them is universal. "I have been afflicted, for years, with Headache and indigestion, and though I spent nearly a fortune in medicines, I never found any relief until I began to take Ayer's Pills. Six bottles of these Pills completely cured me." Ben jarain Harper, Plymouth, Montserrat, W. I. "A long sufferer from headache, I was CURED BY two boxes of Ayer's Pills." Emma Keyes, Hubbardston, Mass. "For the cure of headache, Ayer's Cathartic Pills are the most efficient medicine I ever used." Eobert K. James, Dorchester, Mass. " For years I was subject to constipation and nervous headache, caused by derange ment of the liver. After taking various rem edies, I have become convinced that Ayer's Pills are the best. They never fail to relievo my bilious attacks in a short time ; and I am sure my system retains its tone longer after the use of these Pills, than has been the case with any other medicine I have tried." H. S. Sledge, Weimar, Texas. Ayer's Pills PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. AYER & CO., Lowell, Mass.

The Granville Institute is being handsomely papered. Carr and Jarvis in Oxford Wednesday, August 17. New tobacco on the Oxford mar ket every day, and it is selling well. Wm. Raker has been appointed postmaster at Seth vice Mrs Mary D. Rhodes, resigned. Republicans here say that it is a positive fact that Capt. Rufus Amis is out of the congressional race. The heated term is still with us, and the heated term "Isn't it hot?" is still in use every minute in the day. Watermelons are dirt cheaps and cantaloupes are going begging. l caches are sell in or at :; cents a dozen. More than one of the Third party candidates for public office will find alter election day that "name is mud!' "We are a Democrat!" And please do not for one single instant permit that large fact to escape your memory. Dr. J. M. Hays contemplates the erection of an office building on Col lege street. Work will piobably be started in a few days. The news editor of the Raleigh Chronicle will have it that Oxford is in Vance county. Twice recently Ire has so put it. Oxford is in Granville. Rev. Jno. N. Cole, of Raleigh, preached two able sermons at the Methodist church Sunday morning and last night. t The congregations were very large and well pleased. Jno. H. Webo, of Tally Ho., brought two very large irish potatoes to our office. One is curiously formed, resembling a large bug with a tremendous head. Both weigh over a pound. The editors' warmest thanks are tendered their friend, Thos. G. Taylor, for two of the finest water melons seen in Oxford this season. They each weighed forty pounds, and were of delicious flavor. Some good stables for the ac commodation of the farmers' teams are being built in the rear of the Johnson warehouse. W. I. Wilkin son, the proprietor, is a hustler and a clever, popular warehouseman, and does everything in his power for the interest of his patrons. We are under many obligations to Miss Annie L. Booth for some very fine grapes from the famous "Pine Forest Vineyard" of Raleigh. There are five varities, all perfect beauties. This vineyard, we under stand, will make an exhibit at the World's Fair. It certainly stands a good chance of bearing off first prize. L. Hunter, who has just return ed from several week's stay in South Carolina, says that State is solid for Cleveland. The Republicans have no organization, and all the whites are for the Democratic national ticket, but are divided on State is sues. The fight is very bitter be tween the Tillman and Russell fac tions. N. C, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1892. J. M. Currin is curing 17 barns of tobacco this week. One of the thrashing- machines in the county knocked out 8,000 bushels of wheat in 24 days. Mr. J. P. Mize informs us that he planted two bushels of Irish potatoes and dug 50 bushels. The new residence of Dr. R. W. Hobgood, of Walnut Grove town ship, is about completed. It is stated on good authority that our highly esteemed friend, W. T. Adams, of Dutch ville, has seen his error in lending his influence to the Third party, and says the conven tion in Oxford was a regular prohi bition affair. Roger Matthews, who lives five miles from Oxford on R. II . Mc Guire's place, seeded last fall twenty bushels of winter oats from which he thrashed 327J bushels, besides feeding more than a two-horse load to his team. Farmers should pattern after Mr. Matthews. A Hillsboro correspondent of the Raleigh News and Observer, is an account of the Democratic speak ing at that place Tuesdays, says Hon. A. H. A. Williams led of in a lucid explanation of the acts of the Democratic, representatives from North Carolina in Congress and their efforts to secure such relief as was demanded by the people. Col. S. H. Boyd, of the Third Regiment, found at the last, moment that he would not be able to attend the encampment, and that his pri vate business was such that he could, not devote the attention to his regiment which he thought he should, and he has, therefore, ten dered his resignation as Colonel of the Third Regiment, and it. has-been accepted. Lieut. Col. W. A. Bobhitt will probably be his successor. 33 :rx 0zoxc3- "Wed-XLesday G-:r?arti Issixes ozf: Campaign. do ml Education at Low Rates. Many parents are thinking- about sending their sons off to school next fall, and there are many young men who are making plans for their edu cation. The question they are trying to decide is, "Which is best school to attend?" , They want the best advantages, but they want to secure these advantages at lowest prices possible. Davis School, at Winston-Salem, N. C, is a Military College, has a large Faculty of atle professors, of fers a full course of study, and for those not prepared for the college classes there is a complete Prepara tory Course. The rates are very low. The location is famous for beauty and health. The past session was the most prosperous in i Ue history of the institution. There were ca dets from manv sections of the United States. Answer this Question. Why do so many people we see around us seem to prefer to suffer and be made miserable by indigestion, Constipation, Dizziness, Loss of Appetite, Coming np of the Food, Yellow Skin, when for 75c. we will sell them Shiloh's Vitalizer, guar anteed to cure them.
