Cooper has been appoint ed by Governor Carr a notary pub lic. Judge Boykin, of the Superior Court, has resigned. There are sev eral aspirants for the position. The change in the schedule on the Oxford & Clarksville road did not come to pass on Sunday. The citizens of our town fully realized the fact during the past week that Oxford was entitled to the name of mud. We hear nothing of the Oxford & Coast Line Railroad these days, If it was only completed. Oxford would be greatly benefited. Oxford now enjoys a new de- parturc in merchandise a regular deep, dyed in the wool Third party store.

A movement is on foot to make a new county out of part of Granville, Wake and Franklin, with centre somewhere about New Light Church in Wake Co. Those people up there are a long distance from any court but we. protest against Tfl Kino j -i any of our teritory. On luesday we observed one of the good citizens of Lewis' in Oxford who was loaded down with patent medicine almanacs. They stuck boldly out of each pocket. It is the opinion or some of his friends that he intends to make Lewis' noted in future as a great patent medicine centre. -Dr. P. T. Henry died the 13th of February, of apoplexy at Kittrell, his home. He was a native of Bertie county, and some years ago repres ented it m the benate. He married daughter of the late Bartholomew F. Moore, of Raleigh, and was the uncle of Waltei R. Henry, of Hen derson. It goes without saying that a good team is bound to get there hence, the success ot Booth & Hunt Ware- houseman, Oxford.

Big breaks this week and big prices was the crowning thing for Oxford. Our market is in the lead on all grades. C. A. Tuck, of Blue Wing, lost $500 in Raleigh last week. He got back 4S0 of it, as the negro who found it had spent $20 of it. We are glad to learn that Mr. R. A. Lyon, of Dutch ville, who was stricken with paralysas some time ago is able to walk about the house, but is yet unable to talk distinctly. We are sorry to hear that Third partyism has become so strong in a Baptist church in Vance, that a Democratic deacon has been reques- ted to resign on account of his poli- tics. Messrs Hundley, Bros, have bought a large body of timber land belonging to the late Paul Cameron near Green's station, and, are now putting up a large improved saw mill near the station to cut the tim ber. These gentlemen will build a railroad 3 miles long, penetrating the finest body of timber in this sec tion of the State.

It is now said the Norfolk & West- ern are casting an eye in this direc tion and are thinking of building a road from Roxboro to Oxford. The road would run through a good country, as it would take in Yancy, Gillis, and Blue wing Copper Mines, as well as the Iron Mine at Cornwall on to Oxford. This road if built would be a great thing for Northern Granville, as well as making the iUlnes ot great value, which would De reit m every portion ot the Coun ty. This road would be of lasting benefit to Oxford in a conmercial way, as it would enable the farmers of that now prosperous portion of the county to sell their tobacco and other products on the Oxford market, instead of Danville, Va. And as to guwn unr muicuauis, can sen tnem just as cheap as any town, We hope the road will be built, and Oxford will give it every encouragement she can outside of taxation.

Mitchell at His Xew Home iu Virginia. The news of the death of Walker Mitchell which took place in Meck lenburg county, Va., on Thursday, Feb. 9th, whither he had recently taken up his abode will carry an emotion of sadness to his many friends in Granville among whom he lived for over three score years. He died near Weightman after a brief illness with pneumonia. He was of a kindly nature, quiet and reserved in manner, yet with a heart easily aroused in behalf of suf fering humanity. He was a good husband and father, an obliging neighbor, of firm and faithful fideli ty in his friendship. He had a con tempt for what was wrong, was faith ful in the discharge of his duties, whether of a religious or secular character, and was distinguished for an integrity that has ever marked his career in all his dealings whatever may have been the test to which he was subjected. He was a faithful member of the Presbyterian Church, to which his love went out in abundance, though he was exempted from all suspicion of a narrow sectarianism. He was a full brother of Col. R. J. Mitchell, of Oxford and half brother of the late James A. Russell, who formerly represented Granville in the Senate. He leaves a wife and a number of children who are greatly bereaved by his death. A Few Questions. Oxford or no Oxford is the tion? ques- Railroad or no railroad,! is the question ? Democracy, or Third-Republican is the question the next two years ? The question is now who will be postmaster of Oxford under Cleve land ? Will Democratic Allianceman con tinue to contribute dues to aid the Thirdites to take a stick and crack their own heads ? Will Democrats stand square to gether and commence the fight at once against Thirdites-Republicans as they have against the Democrats? The question now to be settle by the Thirdite Treasurer Pflap.fi. i 7 whether or not school vouchers shall be hawked around at a discount when the Democratic Treasurer paid dollar for dollar.? The question now to be fully de termined will the Democratic party and all others who are in favor of good government stand by a Demo cratic newspapers in Granville as the Thirdites almost to a unite have dropped it like a hot potatoes, while some have the brazen effrontery to borrow it from their neighbors ?
