VOLUME VI NO. 39. BRIEF LOCAL MENTIONS. What Is Transpiring Aronnd and Ahonf ITs, In Town and County. The roughest roads are those we have not traveled over. When the heart and flesh fail, God's opportunity has come. It is said Satan is a lazy fellow and never chases the man who runs. Mrs. Wilder has rented the Couch residence and removed into it. W. A. Devin has been appointed one of the Marshals at the State Fair. A litt-e girl was added to the John Bullock on household of Mr Saturday. Prof, and Mrs. T. J. D re wry now occupy the residence of Dr. N. M. Ferrabee. It is the duty of every man in the county to stand by his county and his county town. The improvements to the Potter Memorial school near Midway Pleas ance are about completed. Look out ye that are afflicted with debt as several tracts of land are advertised for sale under mortgage in this issue. A laugh is often claimed to be the echo of an angel's song, a spray of broken music left sparkling on the shore of time. The county commissoiners was in session on Monday. All members were present. Will publish r nop ses of proceedings next week. rne trusties are still down on the Oxford & Coast Line Road, but it is no trouble for passengers to be transfered as walking is good. Mr. J. L. Swett, of Suffolk, Va father of Mrs. Eugene Crews and R. Swett. died in that city on Wednes day, from a stroke of paralysis. We are indeed sorry that our townsman, Mr. R. T. Smith, has found it neccessary to make an. as signment. He has dealt largely in tobacco as well as farming. We trust he will be able to pull through and pay off his obligations. Sockles Simpson who has been canvassing Virginia in the interest of Thirdite-Republicans is greatly disappointed at the lack of en thusiasm on the part of his party. He will find out when the votes are in that his coharts are badly left. Rev. P. L. Ilermon, pastor of the Oxford circuit, assisted by Rev. R. H. Whitaker, of this city, is conduct ing a very successf ul l evival meeting at Shady Grove church. On Tues day last there were thirteen conver sions and eleven of the number joined the church before the services of the day closed. The meeting is still going on. Good Wrappers, especially old ones, are now in great demand at big price as they have advanced in the last few days, and we advise our farmers to capture the plumbs, while they are going. Good new bright wrappers are also in demand on our market, in fact all bright grades will fetch good money as our buyers hold large orders that must be filled. How can a party survive when its leaders ignore its colaborers, and its organ? The reason we ask this question is because some mem bers of the County Executive Com mittee are not posted as to political affairs of the county, because they are either too slingy or do not care enough about their party to take their county organ. We are to sorry to make this statement but it is true. OXFORD, Mr. A. D. Frazier, who Jives near Berea, had a barn of tobacco burned up on Saturday. The painter, Mr. H. H. Eatman, is now busy painting the Pool resi dence occupied by Mr. C. J. Ward. Grant Foster is keeping up with the panic prices and is selling best steak at 10 cents per pound. All kinds of fresh fi-di at lowest possible prices. The Sun says that Durham sold 9,8.32,004 pounds of tobacco from Oct. 1, 1892, to Oct. 1. 1893. The Board of Trade elected J. T Pinnix, President. Sid Hunt, downs them all on big sweet potatoes thus far. He has laid on our table six that weighs 15 pounds. They are fine ones and has more just like them. Third party Senator Irby, ef South Carolina, has been on a razzee and was hauled one day last week through the streets of Columbia in a carriage with his feet sticking out of the window. He also drew his pistol on the driver. This is the man who succeeded the great soldier and statesman, Wade Hampton, in the Senate. Mr. Sam Mangum, and Miss Anna Jones, two popular young people of the Mt. Energy section, were married on Sunday at tne res- idence ot Mr. isenton J ones Dy oquire E. E. Lyon. The couple met at Pleasant Grove church and after the sermon was over they concluded it .whs a g jod time to evade the eagle eye of Mr. John Jones, the father of the bride, and with the result above. We were unable to attend the entertainment at the Opera House on Monday night given by some of our best home talent for the benefit of the Baptist church, but we are pleased to learn that, each one of the paticipants acquitted themselves in handsome style to the great enjoy- ment of the audience. The enter tainment was under the auspices of Miss Bettie Jordon and was first class in every respect. Receipts amount ed to $G0. naranteed Care. We authorize our advertired druggist to sell Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds upon this condition: If you are afflicted with couch, cold or any lunar, throat or chest trouble, and will use this remedy as di rected giving it a fair irial, and experi ence no benefit, you may return the bot tle and have your money refunded. We r.ould not make this offer did we not know that Dr. King's New Discovery could be relied on. It never disappoints. Trial bottles free at J. G. Hall's drug store. Lr-irge size Due. ana $1.00.

Allen Adopted by Oxford Lode 103 I. O. O. F. "All that is born must die." We have seen "an emblem of what we sure to be and may soon become." Brother Robert L. Allen, in the wis dom of the Great Father of us all, has been called from earth. While we bow in humble submis sion to the will of Him who doeth all things well, we deeply mourn the loss of our departed brother. He was a true and devoted Odd Fellow, and carried the teachings of our beloved order into his every day life. "We can be Odd Fellows only so long as we act like honest men." Brother Allen rigidly observed this precept. He enjoyed the confidence and es teem of his associates, and few young men have ever been more popular in our midst, thus demonstrating that true worth of character and integrity of life has its reward. No friend or brother was ever treated coldly by him or sent empty away. Warm hearted, genial, kind, honorable and noble, his life is a heritasre of which we are proud. Therefore be it Resolved 1st. That in the death of Brother Allen this Lodjre has lost one of its most loval members, the com munity one of its most worthy and highly respected young men; his i associates a true friend, and his fam;ivai, n.flW.tirmn.tA nnd dntifn son and brother. Resolved 2d. That the usual badge of mourning be worn by members of the Lodge for thirty d-eys, and tha a page of OUT reCords be set apart to his memory and that these resolu tlons be spread thereon. Resolved 3rd. That we deeply sympathise with the family in their sad bereavement. Resolved 4th. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Bro. Allen's family, and that the Public Ledger be requested to publish the same. J. G. Hunt, C. J. Cooper, W. D. Lynch. Committee. A Leader. Since its first introduction. Electric Bitters Iihs gained rapidly in popular fa a . V , . -a - vor, until now it is cieariy in tne leaa among pure medicinol tonics and altera tives containing nothing which permits its use as a beverage or intoxicant, it is recognized as the best and purest medi cine for all ailments of stomach, liver or kidneys. It will cure sick headache in digestion, constipation and drive malaria from the system. Satisfaction guaran teed with each bottle or the money ' will be refunded. Sold by J. G. Hall. Prompt Sett lenient. The late Robt. L. Allen's life was insured in the Progressive Endow ment Gill of America, of Richmond, Va., for $1,000 in favor of his mother. Within four days after notification of his death the company forwarded a check for $1,000 to his mother, Mrs. Francis T. Allen, through Col. W. A. Bobbitt. This speaks well for promptness of the company. Soreness of the muscles may arise from a great variety of causes, and may affect the back, chest, feet, and other parts of the body. It may be due to exposure to cold and wet, to fatigue from overexer- tion, or to excess of various kinds. The affected parts should be rubbed freely and frequently with Fond's Kxtract. We could furnish numerous testimonials of the comfort and relief bond's Extract gives in such cases. To hunters, fisher men, sailors, athletes and all who are ex- posed to the severity of the elements, Pond's Extract cannot be too highly rec ommended. Call for the Horse Brand of Johnson's Magnetic Oil. It has no equal tor the diseases of horses and cattle. Sold by J. G. Hall. O. L. Rice.
