NEW HALL, OXFORD, BRIEF LOCAL MENTIONS. I What Is Transpiring: Aronnd and About Us, In Town and County. Tobacco still continues to sell high on the Oxford market. Quite a number of Oxonians will attend the inauguration of Grover Cleveland. Lee Pitchford has removed his stock of goods from Raleigh road to one of stores in Minor block, Hills boro street. The people of a county should feel a mutual interest in each other's welfare and work in harmony to promote the common good. Chief Renn went to Halifax Tuesday bringing back Willie Hor ner, colored, who is wanted for lar ceny. He is now in Hotel de Cozart. We learn that Minnie and Joe who was advertised as lost, strayed or stolen has been located at the house of Mr. A. L. Newton near Mountain Creek. We call the attention of all those who wisli to purchase real estate in Oxford as well as in the country to the valuable property advertised in this issue of the paper. A farmer pulled a young mule through the mud with a load of to bacco last week that was in a weak dition, and in a few hour found him dead in one of the warehouse sta bles. -Money and the change right is what is most needed m Oxford, and we hope our capitalist will turn loose sorre of then change and start some manufacturing enterprise that will benefit the town. Rey. Joseph Rennie will occupy the pulpit of the Presbyterian church the first Sunday in March, morning and night. His many friends in Ox ford will be greatly pleased to hear him preach again. Farmers in this section are very backward in their work, owning to the continued rainy weather, and the roads are almost impassable, so that very small loads of anything can be hauled to town. C. C. Cheatham sold one pile of tobacco with Booth & Hunt Tuesday weighing o20 pounds for the sum of $241 80. V. T. Cheatham also sold one pile weighing 667 pounds foi $283 47. Hurrah "for Oxford ! A. W.

Hall, has purchased all the stock, tools, and good will of Messrs. Routon & Bullock, and have removed them to his store on Hills boro street. Mr. L. F.

Gregory, is a good little Episcopalian told her mother a few days ago as it was Lent, it was her duty to make a sacrifice of some kind, and had concluded not to attend school during Lent. Farmers it is a fact that our market is noted for high prices paid for tobacco. The farmers cannot find a more reliable market in the tobacco region than Oxford, so be sure to briner vour tobacco riedit o along as our buyers need the weed. We visited Henderson Tuesday, and had the pleasure of meeting friend Thad Manning, of the Gold Leaf. He is true blue and stands faithfully by Henderson. He has battled for the town eleven long years, ana certainly deserves a lib eral patronage from the people. Mr. J. W, Chappell and Miss Mollie Inscore, of Dutchville town ship, visited Oxford, on Wednes day moraing last. After visiting some of our dry good stores and making some purchases they walked into the Court House and entered the office of our obliging magistrate J. K. Wood, and told him that it was their wish to go hand in hand along life journey. Mr. Wood proceeded in his usual dignified manner to make them one, and the happy pair departed at once for their home. N. C, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, Work to build up your own county town, and not give your pat ronage to other towns. Thev do not feel any more interest in you than the citizens of Oxford and do not help to pay your county taxes. Be a man and haye some pride about you and stand by your own county. Mr. Fred N. Day has sold out his interest in the jewelry business to Mr. W. D. Lynch, and will locate in Augusta, Ga. Mr. Day make the change on account of his health. Our best wishes go with him to his new home, with the hope that he will be fully lestored to health by the change. We always like to be generous and rise to ask ministers and magis trates if they have reported all the dear couples they have sent on the road of bliss or wroe to the Ilegister of Deeds? If they have n.ot it is highly important that they do so at once as the law demands it. Send them in gentlemen. The home of Mr. W. W. Hart, near Oak Hill, was the scene of a happy marriage on the 19th inst, at 9:30 a. m. Miss Lizzie, the attrac tive daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Hart, was married to Mr. John Wat kins, Rev. C. A. Jenkins performing the ceremony. Our best wishes at tend Mr. and Mrs. Wafkins through life. The residence of Col. Roger Gregory, on his plantation near Stovall was burn?d on Monday night. No one oceopieci the house at the time as Col. Gregory has been stay ing in Oxford for some time. Two rooms 'were furnished for his own use, and was burned up. The resi dence cost $3,000. Ii is thought it must have been set on fire. Mr. C E. Landis, a veteran Jat the Confederate Soldiers' Home, Raleigh, encloses, in a letter to Re presentative Williams, a symbol of good luk in. the latter's congression al contest. It is the left hind foot of a rabbitt killed in the graveyaid ol the Home presumably at midnight as that is the regulation hour if the thing is to work its charm, In our last issue we stated that a deacon in a Baptist Church in Vance county was requested to resign on account of politics. This, we un derstand! is a, mistake, as no politics has ever entered the business of the church.. We deem it to the interest of ail parties to make this statement believing' that our informant was la boring under a misapprehension. Xieguslature 9Totes. Mr. Crews, asking additional ap propriations for the Colored Orphan Asylum Finance. House bill 793, granting a pen sion to all soldiers of the late war 70 years of age and not worth $25; if not on the roll to be placed there; passed it several readings. House bill 700, to establish a nor mal school for the colored race at Durham, to be established by the board of education, five acres to be donated and $9,500 contributed by the citizens of Durham. When es tablished $1,500 to be paid annually by the state in aid of the support of the school. Passed. A Democratic Senate will hardly allow business manager Worth to again enjoy the opportunity of sending Otbo Wilson out to sell guano for the Durham Fertilizer Co., and to preach politics smelling as bad as the guano. State Chroni cle. really Exercised. The Progressive Farmer is very much exercised concerning the bill to repeal the Alliance charter and terms it "an act intended to break down the Alliance and build up the Third Party," and says: "We enter our protest against breaking up our protest against breaking up our or ganization for party purposes." Not a few people have said that it was the heart's desire of many of the Third party leaders not to break up the Alliance for party purposes "but to bag the entire concern for the Third party. Such are the ideas frequently heard expressed these days. Messrs. Hundley Bros, have several good mules they wish to exchange for good yoke of oxen. No, .v Is the time- to get mules for oxen, feb24-3tT 1QftO UNIVERSITY GLEE CLUB. An Enjoyable Entertainment at the Opera House East Friday Aight. Oxford was favored with the pres ence of this noted Club which gave one of their entertainments here on Friday night last. Before hand the town was on the qui vive to see and hear them and had not the weather been unpropi tious the capacious Opera House would have been filled with an eager throng of people. The weather however was as inclement as it well could have been during Friday and the highest anticipations of many of our people met with disappointment. Nevertheless despite the excessively cold weather, quite a number of per sons including ladies were brave enough to turn out and they are loud in their praises of the success of the young collegians who com pose the Glee Club. The boys were a handsome lot and distinguished for their propriety and gentlemanly deportment. It is more than proba ble that some of them left their hearts behind and who knows but that some of them also carried off hearts with them. Who can tell ? We are glad to be able to speak highly of their peiformance. The pecuniary result which goes to the benefit of the Presbyterian church was far better than could have been expected and this amateur troupe doubtless did better than any other of which we have any knowledge, taking into the adverse condition of the weather. The proceeds at any rate exceeded the expectation by a neat little sum and the boys who were accompanied by Prof. Har rington covered themselves with conspicuous eclat. We are sorry that space forbids our saying more in detail of the entertaining per formance which was deserving of the highest commendation. Our people will ever retain a grateful impression of the Universi ty Glee Club. A Bereaved Family. The arrows of death are flying thick and fast around Durham, and a num ber of our citizens are in deep afflic tion, and walking through the val vey of the shadow of death. One of the tenderest buds in the family of Capt. J. A. White, agent of the R. & D. railroad at this place, was taken this morning at 7:20 o'clock. Kenneth Murchison, aged about three years, died of catarrhal pneumonia. The remains will be taken to Louisburg for interment. In their deep distress Mr. and Mrs. White have the heartfelt sympathy of all their friends. They have an other younger child who is extreme ly ill, and it looks as if the hand of affliction is resting heavily upon them. But sympathetic hearts pray tbat they may have grace to sustain them in this dark and trying hour. Durham Sun Feb. 21 ueath ofHrs. R. P. Pool. Mrs. R. P. Pool, (nee Irene Currin) died at her home in Mecklenburg county, Va., on Friday, Feb. 17th, after several weeks sickness, in the 24th year of her age. She was the beloved sister of Mrs. J. G. Bowling, of our town and has many relatives in Granville. She was a devoted member of the Baptist church from early childhood and was kindhearted and generous, and greatly esteemed by all who knew her. She leaves a husband and one child to mourn the loss of a dear loved one. Her remains were interred at Enon Church on Saturday in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends.
