VOLUME VI NO. 46. BRIEF LOCAL MENTIONS. What In Transpi ring Aronud and About Us, in Town and Connty. Edwin Puryear had the pleasure of shooting down a deer near Lewis one day last week. We learn that two popular young people of the Carlton section will join hands for life early in Decem ber. We are glad to learn that there is more meat being raised this year in Granville than was ever known before. School committeemen and teach ers are requested to read the an nouncement of their chief adviser elsewhere. Rev. Edward Benedict is hold ing mission services every night this week, which have proven very in structive and interesting. Mr. J. Y. Cozart, who liyes near Berea, killed a goat one day last week that proved to be a fat one. He realized a cake of tallow 4 inches thick and 28 inches around. A slight change was made in the schedule of the passenger train on the O. & C. road Sunday. Ar rives from Durham in the morning at 7 o'clock and from Keysville at 6:34 p. m. Mrs. J. H. Horner sent us a few days ago two mammoth beets of her own raising. One weighed JO pounds and was 2 feet long, and the other weighed 8 pounds and was two feet two inches in length. We are informed that Major J. T. Yancey, of Person county, has up fattening 27 hogs. Six of them are said to be rousers, weighing between 450 and 500 pounds each, while the balance will average 300 a piece. Durham Sun says : Mr. Ruflin Ful ler, of Watkins, one of Granville county's best farmers, is here on a visit to C. F. Reams. He says there are three things plentiful his com munity, fresh air, cool water and sorghum, and sorghum is the only thing he can trade on. In our account of the Odd Fel lows' supper in mentioning the names of the ladies who rendered valuable services we overlooked Mrs. S. V. Ellis, She had charge of the cooking department which ac counted for the admirable manner in which the oysters and turkey were served. It is said our worthy friend "Hustler," of Culbreth, captures the prize as a squirrel hunter. One day last week he yentured up in "Shake Rag," Nathan Lunsford's domain, and killed 144. An eye witness said "Hustler" hustled along the road "with the tails of the squirrels strung on a pole 20 feet long." Mr. W. H. Tillotson, Jr., is a progressive young faimer, and made a good crop this year. He had a corn shucking last week and cribbed 75 barrels of corn. Mrs. Tillotson, a most worthy lady who is well up in the art of preparing good things, served a bountiful supper and eyery thing passed off pleasantly. Good tobacco will bring good money every time it is put on the warehouse floor in Oxford. Our esteemed friend, J. C. Fleming, of Lyon, put on the floor at Wilkinson Warehouse Friday a' load of fine to bacco which averasred $43. The first grade of 200 pounds was said by com petent judges to be the finest seen on the market this year. Come right on to Oxford with your tobacco if you want top round prices for all grades. QXFORD, J. J. Oslin and Miss Annie E. Moore, both of Mecklenburg county, Va., were married at the residence of N. C. Chapman Thursday morn ing, Squire J. K. Wood officiating. On Tuesday, 28th, the ladies will seive dinner and supper in Armory Hall for the benefit of the Odd Fel lows. If you wish oysters in any style, turkey, celery, &c.,be sure to give the ladies a call. A correspondent of the Kinston Free Press says at the last term of Jones Superior Court a negro who was convicted of stealing a mule. Before sentence was pronounced the judge gave him an opportunity to speak for himself and he said: "I wouldn't er tuck de mule nohow ef I hadn't er red in de Testermint whar Jesus tuck a mule." The judge re marked : "Yes, but he didn't ride him to Kinston and try to sell him;" and thereupon he gave the negro 3 vears in the penitentiary. A farmer at Fayetteville saw on the street a negro whom he recog nized as a man who had robbed him a few weeks ago on the highway, and who was one of a gang of daring rob bers. The sheriff was notified ad pursuit made. A number of shots were fired without effect, but finally a man knocked the highwayman down with a brick and he was cap tured. At noon he was in jail and in six hours was tried, convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years. He narrowly escaped lynch ing. He was put in penitentiary the next day. We are fully aware that times are exceedingly hard and our town people have heavy taxes to pay, but we trust our Town Fathers will de vise some way of lighting up some of the principle streets this winter. It is awful tough plowing through the mud that covers our sidewalks when it rains. Turn on some kind of a light gentleman, if it is only a kerosene lamp with a flickering light on some half dozen corners of the streets. Turn backward, oh time in your flight, And giye us electric lights, if only for one night! The smallest "cat boil" Is large enough to show that the blood needs purifying a warning which, if unheeded, may re sult, not in more boils, but in something very much worse. Avert the danger in fme by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla Cured others, will cure you. Many Thanks. Halls of I. O. O. F., No. 103, who Nov. 21, 1893.

DEATH OF AN ESTIMABLE LADY- Mrs. William T. Allen is no More on Earth. On Sunday afternoon, near Tar River Academy, the spirit of Mrs. W. T. Allen passed into the great beyond, leaying behind dear loved ones, to become a glittering gem in the paradise of God, as she had been a devoted christian from childhood. Mrs. Allen died from appoplexy in the 53rd year of her age. She was a member of Olive Branch Baptist church, of Person, having in aH these years let her membership re& main where she found the pardon of her sin in her girlhood days. She was a daughter of Major Allen Yan cey, of Person, and sister to Major J. T. Yancey and Mr. W. P. Yancey. The former represented Person in the Legislature of 1890. Mrs. Allen was ever faithful in the discharge of her duties, and was a true woman in every respect, being a devoted wife, loving mother and kind neighbor. At the time of her death her devoted daughter, Miss Eula, was extremely ill with typhoid fever, but we are glad to learn was much improved at last accounts. The burial took place on Monday afternoon, at home, Revs. Ernest Thacker and Wharton conducting the services, in the presence of a large number of friends and rela tivejs, and all that was mortal of a good, true woman was consigned to the tomb. We extend to the afflicted ones our condolence in this the hour of their sad bereavement. SENATOR RAMSOM ATTACKED. Manipulation ot a Few Men Agrainst the True Man of Ihe People. The Winston Sentinel says an item has been published in the Wilming ton Messenger, Asheville Citizen and a few other papers, stating that a meeting was held at the yillage of Jackson, Northampton county, and that resolutions endorsing Vance and silver and indirectly attacking Ran som were adopted. We have our. selyes been given information regarding this meeting; it came from reliable sources and we will here state the main facts. The meeting was a public one. It was addressed by Gen. Ransom, Mr. B. S. Gay, Mr. W. W. Peeples, Dr. R. H. Stancil, Capt. T. W. Mason and others. After the crowd had gone away and only a small number of people remained, these resolu tions, conceived by a clique and pre' sented while nearly all but their ad herents had gone, were brought forth and adopted. This village meeting was seeming ly manipulated by a few men who do not like Senator Ransom. One of the manipulators has been Whig, Know Nothing, Republican, drunk ard and Democrat by turns, with a more consistent reputation as a wine bibber than as a politician. We sub mit that an endeavor to drag down Senator Ransom in that manner is impudent, unfair and disgusting. Senator Ransom will be judged by the people of this State. His record will be reviewed next year and he will meet with public approval or condemnation according to his de serts. But we don't want promi nence given to the action of a cotere who call a public meeting and delay action until after the public have left. The Public Ledger thinks this proceedings savors of Thirdisms and was promulgated in the interest of "My own dear Mary Ann Butler" for Senator. PURELY PERSONAL.
