Our Warehouses were alive with tobacco and farmers on Tuesday. Be in time and secure reserve seats for the Ministrel Monday even ing. A Max is now getting rid of his stock at rapid rates, preparatory to moving to Durham. Paris Bros are having a big run on dress goods, whicli are said to be the prettiest in town. The gutters around town are being cleaned out by the street force under the command of Chief Renn. If you wish to spend a pleasant evening be sure and attend the Minstrels at the Opera House Mon day night. Mr. Sim Bullock Avho has been quite sick at the residence of Mr. W. II. Bullock for over a week, we are glad to learn is much improved. The State Convention of the In ternational order of the King's Daughters and Sons of North Caro lina will be held in Oxford May 11th and 12th. Mr. W. R. Bullock is now deal ing in something harder than to bacco. He is with Messrs Hundley Bros at Cozart, looking after their lumber interest. Rev. P. L. Herman married on Tuesday night at the Exchange Hotel Mr. Fred Hoagland of Keys ville, Va., and Miss Mary J. Good win, of Michigan. Rev. R. H. Whitaker, of Ral eigh, will in future have charge of the Methodist church in Oxford. He is one of the best men in the State and is a plain and practical expoun der of the religion of Jesus Christ. Mr. Joe Knott, near Enon is now minus a good porker. Some one went to his pen on Sunday night and killed a fat pig, cut him open, took out the interals and left them in the pen, but not a piece of the meat was visible. We learn that the celebrated Panacea Water is being used by a number of our of citizens with great benefit. It has done such good work that it may be regarded as a stand ard remedy. It can be had at either Stedman's or Hall drug stores. A 60 gallon illicit still owned by F. P. Beck, near the Wake line, was captured last week. The still was near Beck's house, and in a speci ally constructed room attached to the house was a furnace, on whish the still had stood during the winter. Don't forget the Minstrels Mon day night, April 3rd, at the Opera House. If you want a good hearty laugh go and hear them. The per formance abounds in pure fun all through as well as good music. Re member Monday night and be on hand. W. D. Hobgood, of Kountree, Pitt county, spent the week with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Hobgood, and we had the pleasure of meeting him in our office. When he left home on Monday he said he had tobacco plants as large as a nickle. Rev. Jessie Cunninggim. who has made Oxford his headquarters since the death of the lamented Dr. J. H. Cordon looking after the in terest of the church, left to day on the arrival of Rev. R. H. Whitaker, who will have charge of the Metho dist church for the balance of the year. During Dr. Cunninggim short stay here he endeared himself to the OXFORD, people of Oxford, as he mingled quite freely, among our citizens. While in temporary charge of the church he visited 108 familes besides performing other pastorial duties. Little Jimmie, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Pruden died at the Osborn House Thursday morning March 23rd. The burial took place on Friday at Elmwood Cemetery. The sympathies of our community go out to the bereaved parents in the loss of their sweet cherub. Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Rogers re quest us return their unbounded thanks to the people of Oxford for the many kindness shown them on account of the recent disaster that befell them, and to those who assist ed in saving as much of their furni ture as possible from the burning building. Tuesday was a regular red letter day for the Oxford tobacco market. All five of our Warehouses had large breaks and good to bacco sold high and. farmers ex pressed themselves well pleased with prices. We have a first class market and the weed always fetch the high est prices on our Waiehouse floors. The store of A. Landis & Sons is now full of very attractive goods in every department. The styles in dress goods are elegant and captivat ing with trimmings to match. In millinery they have a beautiful dis ply, all of the latest styles and shades with good trimmers to blend together the flowers, ribbons, laces, etc , and get up a becoming hat or bonnet. The season of the year has ar rived when all the ladies, misses and little girls turn their thoughts to the fact that it is time to buy a new spring hat or bonnet, and we would gently remind them that Mrs. J. T. Britt's millinery store is just the place to buy them. She has beautiful flowers, lovely trimmings and latest New York styles in hats, etc., and has in Miss Trader, of Baltimore, just the person who can get you up a stylish and becoming hat. .ist of Sew Magistrates.

Pond's Extract is uneqiiciled for bathing the face after shaving. For this purpose it is far superior to bay rum. Pond's Extract does not cause the stringing or smarting produced by other lotions, nor does it leave the face with that disagreeable shininess. Pond's Extract positively reduces the slight inflammation which always remains after the use of the razor, be cause just as it reduces any inflammation it sends back the blood that the razor has brought near the surface, checks bleeding if any exists, and makes the skin soft, white, and smooth. 1 is thus used by the very best barbers, N. C, FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1893. WILLI A MS-SETTLE CONTEST. Testimony Still Being? Taken-Oood Reports for Williams. Depositions are being taken here in this celebrated contest. The intelligence of the illegal voting in some of the counties of the district is very satisfactory to the Williams side of the case. Capt. Williams has received let ters from friends in many parts of the district telling him to prosecute his claims with as much activity as possible as they believe he is justly entitled to his seat. It is astonishing to us that Capt. Williams who has stood so faithful ly by the people should find so much opposition from 3rd party leaders, some of whom hereabout are be lieved to be working very hard with the Republicans to defeat Williams. We cannot believe that the 3rd par ty people as a class are in sympathy with any movement which may be made by the self constituted bosses of the party who would rejoice to see Williams defeated by Settle. Revival at the Baptist Cluirch. A revival meeting of considerable interest is in progress at the Baptist Church. The Rev. Mr. Tyree, of Durham, has preached several able and impressive sermons. He arrests the attention of the congregation from the outset to the close of his sermons. The services are largely attended, and it is gratifying to know that he has met with a consid erable degree of success in awaken ing an interest on religious topics. Rev. J. S. Hardaway opened these exercise with several very ear nest and effective talks. His great personal popularity, coupled with his abilities, his zeal and his high character give him a power over an Oxford audience that ought to be very gratifying to him particularly as by reason of these facts his in fluence over persons of all classes is marked, pronounced and highly sal utaiy. Hopeful Sign for the Farmers. We are happy to see on following ths breaks of tobacco the past week that several buyers for cutters have appeared on this market which will be good news to our farmers. Our highly esteemed citizen, Mr. J. M. Currin, who buys largely for the American Tobacco Co. will have to raise a few points so long as these new buyers of cutters hold their or ders, and bid up so liberally as they have lately done on this grade of goods which North Carolina surpas ses all competition. Good tobacco on our market is now commanding such prices as to make glad the hearts of our farmers. All grades are selling well and we advise you to sell on the Oxford market, as our buyers are real anxious to fill their orders for all grades. Meeting? of County Alliance. The County Alliance will meet in Oxford on Thursday, April 13, and we truly hope its government will be wrenched from the calamity how lers and placed upen its former plane of usefulness, and in the hands of men who have the interest of the orderat heart and not their individual pockets. If the order is to prosper it will have to be taken out of the bands of such political demagogues as Dalby, Peace, Winson, (M. L. the great "cherman") Glaude Allen and "Captin Archie" Gregory, and not until then will the Alliance go for ward and accomplish good for the Get rid of all such men and you can count on the hearty support of the Public Ledger PURELY PERSONAL.

Mr. Andrew Cash has completed his store and will fill it with dry goods, groceries, etc., soon. Rumor has it that one of our best marksmen bagged a fine gobbler that dressed 23 lbs., a few days ago. Mr. H. L. Jones has commenced hauling cord wood and will have a train load ready by next Monday. There is money in wood. Mrs. Edna Beck has a fine gang of young chickens.

Beck, one of the successful young bachelor farmers of this sec tion was around here last Sunday looking for potato slips.
