REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET IN THE FIELD.
Oiili to Uo As1ia:iicl ol II inisel t.
Says the North Carolinian: No
paper in North Carolina lias been
more hind and helpful to the Alli
ance than the Oxford Public Ledger,
yet a few days ago the President of
the Granville Alliance called at the
editor's office and discontinued his
paper. This is poor returns for
much eflieient service, and we are
glad to believe that there are few
Alliancemen in (.Jrauville so inap
preciative, so narrow and prescrip
tive. We do not know the name of
the President of the Granville Alli
ance and would not print it if we did.
When he goes home and sits down
tpiietly he will be ashamed of his
hasty and unjust action.

The Third partyites and white
Republicans did a great deal of cau
cusing Monday. They are in close
touch, and are scheming all they
know how to get control of the gov
ernment. There is a pair of Third partyites
on Raleigh road, just outside of the
corporate limits of Oxford, and Capt.
A. F. Spencer has dubbed that
neighborhood the Five P's Peace,
Person People's Party Precinct.
A very large and elegant assort

Heavy break of new tobacco in
Oxford Friday, and our warehouse
men were happy. The sales at each
house were particularly good and
prices gave entire satisfaction. Our
market is solid and farmers may ex
pect to receive top notch prices for
all grades. One load new tobacco
fetched $23 a hundred barn round.
All the Third party candidates,
with quite a number of the leaders,
met in Oxford on Mondav and held
a conclave in the office of Dr. A. J.
Dalby, at the Alliance Tobacco
Factory. We suppose it was for the
nurnose of lavins: plans for the cam-
paisrn. The doctor is chairman of
the Executive Committee and a hard
worker for his party.
Good news from all along the
line. We are glad that quite a num
ber of good men in Fishing Creek
and Oak Hill townships, who were
mistaken as to Third party, finding
that it aims where to help the Re
publican party, are returning to the
real party of the people that of
Democracy. Come back good men
and don't be deceived by the leaders
of the Republican Aid Society.
Never go away from home to
buy goods that you can obtain in
your own town. Your home mer
chant helps to iay taxes and assists
in making your town prosperous,
and it is your duty to support him
by giving him your trade. And
every one should have an advertise
ment in the home papers, thus in
viting trade and enabling our town
to give the world papers equal to
any other progressive town.

0. Osborn, an old resident of
Pulaski, Tenn., writes to his brother
J. Osborn, of Oxford, as follows :
"Col. Weaver, who is now nomi
nee of the People's party for presi
dent, commanded the post here dur
ing the war.
"The statements published in the
Giles County Democrat are fully au
thenticated. The three persons
mentioned in the first- part of the
article were good friends of mine.
"All that is charged against him
is too true and the half is not told.
If ever we were under a reign of
terror, it was when Weaver was
here commanding the federal post."
Triel Early and Convicted Quick.
Charles Walker is the young white
man who got into trouble Friday
for obtaining a hat under false pre
tenses from B. T. Sturman. He slept
in the county jail last night, and
early this morning, between seven
and eight o'clock, he was taken out
and brought before Mayor Hicks to
answer to another charge that of
stealing a coat from W. A. Wilkin
son. He hung around the Johnson
warehouse that day, saying he had
a load of tobacco on the way which
he wanted Messrs. Wilkinson. to sell
for him. That load of tobacco was
a myth, and W. A. Wilkinson said
so. This made Walker hopping mad
and he took his revenge by purloin
ing Mr. Wilkinson's coat, which was
hanging in the office.
The stolen property was found in
Walker's possession, and Mayor
Hicks bound him over in the sum of
$50, which bond he was unable to
give. He is again in jail, and the
grand jury will look after him for
two offenses.
Walker was a farm hand and was
recently thrown out of employment.
