VOLUME VI NO. 35. BRI EF" LOCAL MENTIONS. What is TraiisplriiiK Aromid and Ahont ITs. In Tow ft and Comity. Have your job work done at tho Public Ledger office. Mr. R. M. Parser has been ap pointed postmaster at Kittrell. Mr. R, F. Knott lost a barn of tine tobacco by fire a few nights ago. The value of every commodity is determined by the laws of supply and demand. Col. John Johnson has entirely recovered from his recent illness and is out again. Mr. S. W. Cooper enjoys the pleasure of riding behind the fastest trotter in Oxford. We thank Mrs. Stephen Jones, of Culbreth, for an elegant lot of pears sent on Tuesday. The Horner Military School opened, up on Monday with a good attendance of young men. The hill on Raleigh road near the residence of Mr. H. H. Eatman, has been greatly improved by work. New tobacco is being sold on Ox ford market daily, as our warehouses are still in the swim and never closed up. The attendance at all of our schools is much smaller than usual on account of the financial strin gency. And now the Democratic pot is beginning to boil. A little more fire in the offices and iron won't hold things. Alfred Avery, a promising young man and son of Judge Avery of the Supreme court, died at Trinity Col lege last week. Register of Deeds Norwood has completed the tax list. It is neatly gotten up, and is a credit to him and his assistants. We learn from the Biblical Re corder that Rey. J. G. Blalock is as sisting in a protracted meeting in Catawba county. I There has been in progress during the past week a great revival at the Second Colored Baptist church on Hillsboro street. Rev. R. H. Whitaker, the must worthy pastor of the Methodist church, will commence a protracted meeting on the third Sunday. Quarterly meeting was held at the Methodist church on Saturday, and Rev. Jessie Cunningham, as umal, preached good sermons. Deputy Sheriff Cozart informs us that everything is exceedingly quiet in his office now, and he has plenty of time to look after his good crop. it is generally understood that Messrs. R. H. McOuire and W. K. Thomas will be the team that will run the Meadows Warehouse the coming year. Tho bank officials jn Raleigh in form the business agent of the Third party alliance that there would be ample means provided for Paving for cotton as heretofore. Tobacco sold in Oxford on Tues day at higher figures than it did at the same time last year. Oxford cannot bo downed on prices, as well as clever buyers and warehousmen. We wish to inform our worthy contemporary, the Durham Globe, that he was too quick in'compliment mg the News-Observer-Chronicle for Publishing Mr. Lyon's card. He should take it back as the editor de manded $5.00 for it and Mr. Lyon Paid that amount to be allowed the Privilege of skinning Harrell. OXFORD, Persons having unsettled ac counts at my store will please call and settle. I cannot extend longer credit to those owing me. Don't send your orders expecting me to fill them on time; I need funds to run my business. J. G. Hall. Hon. F. M. Simmons has been appointed Collector of Internal Revenue for this district, and the grand hustle for places will now begin. We hope he will be sure to remember Granville in some of his appointments. Mr. Ben Kronheimer has re ceived a choice and select line of- clothing, gents' furnishings and shoes, for the fall trade. His store now presents a neat and attractive appearance. His stock was selected by himself with great care. Messrs. Booth & Hunt, of the Alliance Warehouse, are determined that no grass shall grow under their feet, and have it all cut down in front of the warehouse. They are regular movers on prices and all who sell with them get the top of the 5 market. The money hoarders are begin ning to see how foolish they have been and are depositing it in the bank. J. C. Cooper &, Sons tell us that deposits are increasing daily. So the clouds are rolling by, and Oxford will be a humming tobacco market soon. We learn that Dr. J. M. Hays has rented the large and elegant residence of the late Governor Scales and will be prepared to take a few select patients under his own roof for treatment. Mrs. Hays and children will remove to Greensboro in a few days, to the regret of many friends. The editor has been charged with being unfriendly to the Alliance and our files will refute the charge. We are still willing to do all we can to build up that organization, but not under the control and manage ment of political demagogues who are using it to advance the interest of the Thirdites and Republicans. - At the prayer-meeting Wednesday night, the pastor announced that a protracted meeting would be com menced at the Methodist church, in this city on the third Sunday, the 17th inst. Rev. R. H. Whitaker, the pas tor, will be assisted by Rev. P. L. Herman of the Oxford circuit, and one or more ministers from a dis tance. -Our friend W. L. Hunt, of Tar River, rolled into town Wednesday and rolled into a barber chair and dis pensed with his fine coat of black whiskers, leaving his moustache. He bade the editor to go and do likewise but we declined. We' don't expect Mrs. Hunt rdeognized him when he reached home as he looked like a lG-year old.

The celebrated photographers, Dyer & Collins, haye at last left Stem. They can now be found at Bahama. To hear that money is getting easier North is some consolation to us, yet the times do not seem to be visibly slackening down South. Wheat is still selling cheap and far mers are enquiring where and what will they do with their crop of to bacco. Just come to the conclusion that all will be well; that the great God that has forever ruled this world continues to rule and take it for granted that His promises are as true today as ever. I am no preach er but somewhere it says all things work together for good to those that love and serve Him. There is just as much money in the United States now as there ever was and if every man you meet was not afraid of his shadow times would get better. You go to Oxford, meet the business men, with one or two exceptions, and they will say oh, the times are getting so curious I do not know what is to be come of all of us; checks are no good and I do not know what to do about taking any chances at buying any goods, and it is no use to give the Public Ledger any advertise ments it will only help to sell goods on a credit. I hear some of them saying I do not want to put any money in banks. They are getting too wish-a-washv; I am afraid. Our bank here is as solid as the rock of Gibralta, but still my money is safer in my safe or in my pocket. You meet a' farmer and ask him how is his crop. "Well tolerably good crop of corn; my tobacbo is common; I have a large family to support and do not know how I will get through." Well, sir, your next neighbor, Bill Smith, told me yesterday he had the best crop he had had for years. You have not managed well somehow. He Will say my crop is just as good a,s any of my neighbors, and at the same time say $250 will pay all his expenses and indebtedness, and he owns 300 acres of good land, five head horses, plenty hogs, sheep and cows; independent, yet a chronic grumbler. This is all foolishness. Advertise your crops by saying they are good. Speculators will want your tobacco because it is said to be a good crop ; manufacturers will want it for the same reason; con sumers for the same; capitalists will lend you money. Why he is in a good fix and it will take no suit at law to collect it. He can pay me and ordinarily will do so. The mer chants have been exceedingly kind to the farmers this year; we have sold more chickens, butter and eggs. We are coming and independently. G. D. P. BncklenSt Arnica Salve. The best salve in the world for cuts, bruises, sores, ulcers, salt rheum, fever sores, tetter, chapped hands chilblains, corns and all skin ruptions, and positively cures piles, or no pay required.
