The
Core
or
Scrofula was once supposed to be the
touch of royalty. To-day, many grateful
people know that the "sovereign remedy" is
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This powerful altera
tive extirpates "the evil" by thoroughly
eliminating all the strumous poison from tha
Mood. Consumption, catarrh, and various
other physical as well as mental maladies,
have their origin m
SCROFULA
When hereditary, this disease manifests it
self in childhood by glandular swellings,
running sores, swollen joints, and general
feebleness of body. Administer Ayer's Sarsa
parilla on appearance of the first symptoms.
" -My little girl was troubled with a painful
scrofulous swelling under one of her arms.
The physician being unable to effect a cure,
I gave her one bottle of
Ayer's
Sarsaparilla, and the swelling disappeared."
W. F. Kennedy, McFarland's, Va.
' I was cured of scrofula by the use of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla." J. C. Berry, Deerfield, Mo.
" I was troubled with a sore hand for over
two years. Being assured the ase was
scrofula, I took six bottles of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla
and was cured." II. Hinkins, Kiverton, Neb.

say they don't want Peace they
want Cooper.
It is reported .that the traveling
expenses ot a Third party ite irom
Virginia, who recently made speeches
in Granville county, was paid by
two Republicans.
u. wrignt cc i;o. nave re
moved their stock of general mer
chandise from the Williams building
to the store room in Cozart block
formerly occupied by Q. E. Rawls.
It is Cozart who is in a boat and
bound for Salt river, while our can-
didate is Orews-incr in peaceful
waters under smiling skies, his
course clear and smooth to the
haven.
Capt, A. S. Peace's name was
up before the Third party State con
vention for lieutenant governor.
Cobb the successful man, got 328
yotes, Peace was second best with
83 votes.
The roster of the ex-Confederate
soldiers in camp at Wrightsville this
week includes the names of three of
our countyinen, viz : J. B. V. Tun
stall, G 23d; W. C. Peed, D 30th;
H. Eakes, K 55th.
What else would you call the
Third party than a "Republican Aid
Society," wfien Republicans pay the
expenses of Third party speakers to
come into the county and talk
against Democracy?
A prescription for voters: Take
pure Democracy, and throw the vile
mixture of Third partyism and Re
publicanism out of the window, as
it is not only nauseating but fatal
to good government.
The Republicans of this town
ship met in the courthouse Saturday
night and organized a campaign
club. Only one white man took
part in the meeting. Several Dem
ocratic spectators were politely in
vited to leave the room.
How the mighty (or mitety?)
have fallen ! The same men who
ran for county offices on the Demo
cratic ticket some years ago and
were defeated by the colored voters,
are now virtually down on their
knees pleading for the votes of these
same colored men. But the "sixty
acres of land" fake and the pathetic
tale of mud will not fool the now-
claimed negro friend and brother.

Situation wanted as teacher by
a young lady. See advertisement.
Two mad dogs were killed at
MinorVMill on Friday we learn from
Mr. A. Barnett who dropped in to see
us Saturday.
One of the old timers of Tall'
Ho township, Mr. L. Y. Jones, who
has reached his 73rd year, never own

We call attention to the adver
tisement announcing the day of the
opening of the school of thataceora
plished teacher, Mrs. J. A.Stradley
at "Stovall.

From all the information we can
gather and from our own observa
tion in travelling through somepor-
tion of Granville, there will not be
f
more than a half of tobacco and corn
made on account, of the drought.
Rev. Dr. A. G, McManawav, of
Charlotte, editor of the North Caro-
lina Baptist, preached two very fine
sermons at the Baptist Church Sun-
day morning and night. All who
heard him are lavish in their praise.

being put up m the Horner School
by the Marragansett Machine Com-
pany or rrovmence, JC. 1. Mr.
Willoughby Reade has been employ-
ed as instructor in gymnastics and
elocution.
Mr. E. C. Harris, of Fishing
oree.K, is not so mucli on raising Irish
potatoes, but he is a hummer on big
squash. He pulled one a few days
ago that measured 40 inches round,
20 inches long, and weighed half
dried 32i pounds.
A. J. Yancy, ot Oak Hill, and
A. F. Smith, of Tally Ho, request us
to deny the charge that they have
turned over to the enemy, the Peo
ple's party. They say that they are
true Alliancemen, but in favor of
Democracy and white supremacy
The colored men positively will
not vote for Third party candidates.
The white radicals are making the
Third ites believe so, but they are
acting the parts of wily deceivers.
The Republicans will have a county
ticket in the field and the colored
voters will as usual support it.
It turns out that Republicans
pulled the wires at the Third Party
State Convention and captured all
the nomination for State officers
except one. This is reform with a
vengeance ! No need now for the
Republicans to nominate a State
ticket ! They have one already !
Mr. Cog Hampton, a prosperous
farmer near Hampton, who was
thrown from his cart some days ago
and narrowly escape serious injury
is out again but still nurseing some
severe bruises. W. E. Nevils, of
Grissoms who fared the same fate, is
getting around on crutches, on ac-
count of a severe sprain given his 1
right leg. The severe gash over one
of his eyes is healing up. Friend
Nevil's says he is somewhat disfigured
but "still in the ring."

A Denial.
The Public Ledger states in Au
gust 12th issue that I regret lending
my influence to the People's party,
and says it. is stated on good author
ity, the authority may be the best
the Democratic party has but the
statement has not one word of truth
in it, nor either is there any truth in
the statement that I said the conven
tion held in Oxford was a regular
Prohibition affair. I am a People's
party man and am willing to accord
to everybody the right to form their
own political opinion with courtesy.
