Witnf if Transpiring Aroniul mi1 About IT, i Town nl (Joiiiily The Movements nnl loinic of Peo ple Ton Know. Ktc. The Republicans are holding meetings at various points in the count y. The storeliouse on Main street occupied by II. T. Council & Co. is being repainted. Don't put off until the last mo ment what ought to he attended to at once. Register ! There are two factions one say: "Give the hog a show!" To this the other side says nay "The hog must go!" The Public. Ledger job office is the place to get all kinds of election tickets printed. Place your orders, candidates. J. C. Cooper has had a new porch built to his residence, which greatly improves the appearance of the building. The registration books will be closed October 2S. Don't forget this. Be on the safe side and regis ter at oncer Invitations are out to the Co lumbian Exercises at the Oxford Fe male Seminary, Friday evening, October 21. We see that there is a Mabel Paige Comedy Company on the road this season. It. is at Burlington, N. C, this week. The condition of State Treasurer Donald W. Bain is now critical in the extreme, and it seems that death is only a question of hours. The county candidates' canvass is progressing finely, and our gallant men are making a good impression. They are winners, too; mark that ! After the adjournment of County Alliance Thursday, the majority of delegates being members of the 3rd party ,held a secret Third party meet ing. Big yams are now being exhib ited. Our agricultural editor has received one from I). Lyon that weighs six pounds. The crop this year is a fine one. There is a great deal of public speaking in the country that is not heaid of . in town. The county every part of it is getting a full dose of politics this year. The poorhouse mule that was taken from the stable a few nights ago by Dick Jeffreys, it is charged came home Friday night. Jeffreys did not return wTith her. There is an amendment to the constitution to be voted on Novem ber 8 the proposed election of so licitors by the entire State instead of by districts as at present. E. N. Crews, the staunch Demo crat of Dabney, and Rev. M. L. Winston, the chairman of many con ventions, had a discussion of the campaign issues Friday morning, and it is the verdict of all who heard them that Mr. Crews ''wiped up the earth" with Mr. Winston. On Tuesday Roger Jones, color ed, met Capt. A. S. Peace on the street and gave him a few words of cheer. Says Roger, "you are our man, as all de colored men in de precincts have been constructed to vote for you." Friend Peace smiled clear back of his ears, and went on his way to tell Boss Dalby no doubt. OXFORD, Dr. Exum is expected to be here soon and make a speech. The dwelling house of Mr. A. J. Feild will soon be completed. A. A. Hicks is having a new fence put around his residence. Another amateur entertainment probably a drama will be given ere long, it is said. Many farmers were seen on the streets Friday s wearing Cleveland's picture stuck in their hat bands. When a Thirdite gets to bragging about his party sweeping the coun try just say "Georgia" to him and his "feathers falls." The printed speech of Lindsay, the political acrobat, to the voters of this District, has been distributed through the county this week by the Thirdites. The Sunday School Conference of Oxford Circuit will be held at Harmon Church October 29 and 30, and will be addressed by Rev. W. L. Cuning gim and J. T. Strayhorn. Possibly some of the existing apathy among the Thirdites is trace able to the fact that they have found out that Dalby and Peace have sold them out to the Republicans. At 12 o'clock on Tuesday in front of Hart & Lawrence's store Day and Knight met together R. W. Day, of Oxford, and C. W. Knight, of Fishing Creek, and clasped hands. Chairman Dalby thinks he can pry Granville Thirdites over into the Republican party if he can get a good purchase on them. Watch him; "he is fooling thee" farmer friends. Rev. J. S. Hardaway, writing to the Biblical Recorder about Rev. C. A. Jenkens' new humorous book, says: "Mark Twain might covet the honor of being the author of some of its chapters." Sunday was a beautiful day and the Methodist, Episcopal and Baptist churches had exceedingly large congregations and the differ ent pastors delighted their hearers with good sermons. We rise to say to our Alliance friends, that the space given to them in the Public Ledger is still their property whenever they see proper to use it, but it not for the use of the Republican Aid Society. General Dalby, as a leader in the fight against the Democrats, has his headquarters in the Alliance Tobacco Factory and on the street corners instead of in the saddle, but never theless he is still riding the colored nightmare. It is not an uncommon thing for men, who were Thirdites, to call in and say they see the danger throat ed the South by a diyision of the whites and they are back again into the Democratic fold. The wanderers are coming home. A colored man named Leak from Greensboro spoke to the Republi c ins Tuesday night, and did all he knew how to do to work the colored people up to sticking solidly to the g. o. p. Dr. Puryear, formerly reg ister of deeds, also made a speech. It has been remarked that the children from the Oxford Orphan Asj-lum, when they march down town to attend Sunday school, pre sent a very neat appearance are plainly but neatly and comfortably dressed, and are well behaved. This is all very creditable to Dr. W. S. Black, who makes an excellent su perintendent of North Carolina's great eleemosynary institution. N. C, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1892. A SECRET POLITICAL SOCIETY? READ THE "GIDEON BAND" EXPOSURE Policeman C. B. Leach was tried before Mayor Hicks Monday afternoon on the charge of assault upon John Faucette, and was bound over for appearance at the next term of Superior Court. Boss Dalby and his colaborer are trying to turn Granville over to Re publican rule. A. S. Peace had a caucus with Furches, candidate for Governor on the Radical ticket; Blackburn, and Capt. Rufus Amis, after the speaking Monday. When will these five Republicans meet again J? Since Mr. A. S. Peace has turn ed Republican would it not be the fair and honest, for him to tender his resignation as a member of the Board of County Commissioners, as he is not in aecoid with a Democratic .ad ministration judging from the amount of abuse he sees fit to heap daily upon the party that has been so kind to him ? Furches, candidate for Governer on the Radical ticket, said in his speech here on Monday that if the people of North Carolina did not want the Force bill, it could be avoided by electing him Governor and a Republican Legislature, which would abolish the present system of county government and the infamous election law now in operation in the State. What egotism ! How could he keep the Radical Congress from passing the Force bill? North Carolina must rise up and rid itself of Thirditeism and its dear ly beloved bed-fellow, Republican ism, on the 8th of November. Let every man in old Granville, who is in favor of real reform, rally around the standard of Democracy, and let us send into political oblivion Wea verism, Dalbyism andPeaceism. Be a man and stand up for your own self protection ! It will do you good to read Chairman Simmons' address on another page of this paper. A. Snaky Platform.- Dr. Dalby and Capt. Peace were caucusing Monday morning on the steps m front of the Alliance to bacco factory. That was a rather shaky perch for these two big guns of the Third party, for those steps are not in a very particularly safe condition; but they are as safe and as steady as the political platform they are standing upon. Peace was laying it off, and the Big Medicine Man was receiving the report of the Mud Warrior with a look of impos sible wisdom on his countenance. North Carolina's Day. Governor Holt has received a letter from Secretary L. C. Sulp, of the Committee on Ceremonies at the World's Fair, asking him to select a State day for any special ceremonies he may desire to have during the ex- position next year. Governor Holt replied: 'I will name August iSth as North Carolina daw I have selected this day because it is the anniversary of the birthday of Virginia Dare, the first white child born in America, and for whom a county in our State is named."

He says there are but few Thirdites in his neigh borhood. The WilmingtonMessenger says: "Judge Robert W. Winston, of Ox ford, an able and learned young ju rist, is writing for the Raleigh Re corder a series of practical, useful and timely "Talks About Law." Number 9 is on ''flow to Write your Will."

The Democratic county candidates were at Creedmoor Wednesday, and about two hundred of the good peo ple of that neighborhood came out to greet them. They made an excellent impression. Our next senator, W. W. Kitchen, made another fine speech, which elicited frequent and hearity ap plause. Good, solid, sensible and vote-winning addresses were also made by A. C. Parham and Dr. R. W. Hobgood. These two gentle men are farmers in whom the peo ple of Granville haye entire confi dence, and their advice carries great weight with it. The canvass is proving very ef fective, and is winning back many who had strayed from the right path. CLEVELAND WILL NOT ATTEND. Because He Will Sot TakeAdyanJase of Harrison Situation.
