Thanksgiving services were held at all our churches on Thursday morning. Love begins as a spark, grows to a flame, and ends in a general con flagration. The best way to stop political inconsistencies is to take the cranks off the stump. Mr. Len Ilenn and Mrs. Strunib were married in Fishing Creek on Suuday by Squire Henry Taylor. If the weather continues as it has for the past week it will be a coal day when Parker & Hunt get left. The Caliopean Society of Oxford Female Seminary will give an enter tainment at that institution this Thursday night. A man can always tell where he got his cold just as easily as he can't tell where he left his umbrella two or three days before. Prof. Oakley has just added to the Brooks Museum, on Main street, a singing and dancing negro which is a great addition to the show. The ladies were quite successful with their oyster and turkey dinner as well as supper on Tuesday for the benefit of Oxford Lodge 103 I. O. O. F. We hear from the lips of many people about "money being close." This is no doubt a fact, but we have not found it to be true, as precious few wheels gets close enough to us to be within our grasp. Rev. J. M. Horner, of Horner school,has been appointed a member of the Executive Committee of N. C. Teachers' Assembly. A capital se lection, as he ranks among the com ing young men of the State. There will be a meeting of the King's Daughters and Sons on Sat urday, the 2d day of Dec, 1893, at the residence of Mrs. S. H. Smith. A full attendance is desired. W. T. Lyon, Sec. We ask you to read the impor tant change in the advertisement of B. F. Kronheimer, the great clothing man of Oxford. He has made deep cut prices for December. Now is the time to rig out from heat to foot for a little money. The Stewards of Oxford Circuit, met in Oxford Wednesday to settle with their pastor, Rev. P. L. Her man, who has so faithfully served them during the past year. He will Jeaye on Monday for Conference which meets in Wilmington on Wed nesday, We congratulate Brother J. A. Thomas, of the Franklin Times, on his appointment as deputy collector of this division, composed of Gran ville, Franklin and Nash counties. We are pleased to note that several of the editors in the State have been rewarded with good offices for valu able services rendered the Demo cratic party. Time is at hand to select Christ mas presents for your friends, and we can tell you just the place to get them, which is W. D. Lynch's fine Jewelry Store. His show cases are full of a beautiful assortment of all kinds of watches, chains, rings, breastpins, silver ware of many de signs, etc., at bottom figures. Read his advertisement and go and get your present early before they are picked over. If you need any repair ing to your walch or jewelry he will repair them in first class style, OXFORD, The collection taken at the Methodist Church on Thanksgiving Da jT, for the benefit of the Orphan Home, amounted to $22.00. Although there was no court on Tuesday still the horse swappers were on hand with quite an array of plugs, and many old rips found new homes. It is said but little money changed hands, but a vast amount of chin music was indulged in. On the "bone yard" Thursday a couple of traders got into dispute about their horses and pitched into each other in old fashion style. In the midst of set too and while the crowd was enjoying the combat Jim Renn appeared upon the scene, and when he stepped into the ring the fighters broke and run. Renn leap -ed right after them and succeeded in overhauling one amid the cheers of the crowd, and marched him off to the guard house. Tobacco continues to roll into our market daily and large amount of silver wheels continue to roll into the pockets of our farmers. Price continue high on bright grades, and fine wrappers shoot right up "among the rafters" in price, and are eagerly sought after. Common grades re main about the same. Oxford can beat all competitors on high aver ages for fine tobacco, and we advise all who have it to sell to try Oxford as our buyers are extremely anxious to fill pressing orders. A Winning1 Patent. Old Granville has come to the front with a patent that is destined to be a winner in the shape of a car coupler. The patent is No. 508,265 and emanated from the brain of men who till the soil, for the benefit of those who risk their lives in coupling cars on the various railroads in the country. The patentees are Messrs. J. L. Adcock, William L. Tippett and Horace G. Moss, of Tar River, N. C. The device is simple and car ries with it not a particle of danger in coupling cars, and we truly con gratulate these gentlemen upon their success, as they have already receiv ed flattering offers from experienced railroad men, saying it is the safest and most reliable car coupling that has so far been gotten out, excelling the Janney coupler. These gentle men are daily in receipt of letters from those who are anxious to secure the control of this most admirable device. Hurrah for Granville and her farmei patentees! Bynnni vs. Nettle. Though Bynum may hunt with Settle, Whose claim to a seat is a myth, We hope he'll not mix With his bad politics And shatter the hopes of the "Fifth." Thus far his record's untarnished, His "escutcheon of honor" still bright, But we will be mad If he votes for the Rad For Williams' claims are all right. Our Tommie's a sweet little fellow And pretty in figure and face, But in working for votes He unfairly "totes" And drags himself down in disgrace . Thus he ruins his claims to beauty, As the bee of ambition doth buzz, For since days of old We all have been told That "pretty is as pretty does." Then vote for our man Baldy Williams Who's the soul of honor and truth; He is born to our manner, And carries our banner, And a Democrat from toe nail to tooth !
