Twenty years ago, at the age of 18 years, I had swellings come on my legs, which broke and oceanic, running sores. Our family physician could do me no good, and it was feared that the bones would be affected. At last, my pood old mother urged me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I took three bottles, the sores healed, and I have not been troubled since. Only the scars remain, and the memory of the past, to remind me of the good Ayer's Sarsaparilla has done me.

Mud has been the ruling spirit in Oxford this week. Wood and coal has been in great demand during the past week. Read the new legal advertise ments elsewhere of land sold under mortgage. Chief Renn had out on Monday his snow plow and cleaned off the side walks. Quite a number of farmers braved the mud on Wednesday and came to town. Quite a number of cases were tried during the past week by the Justices who have rooms in the Court House. Messrs. J. J. Medford and Ed. Atkinson have opened again having made satisfactory arrangements to continue business. Another link to the family chain was added to the household of Judge R. W. Winston a few days ago. It is an attractive little maiden this time. Our tobacco market is still on the up grade, and prices climb higher on all brights. As for commons it always brings the higest market price. The colleges are beginning to reason that too much time given to sports may result in the students practically making game of theii studies. Walk Wright into A. Landis & Sons' store and Lester will sell you any kind of goods you want at and below New York cost. If you don't believe it try Lester Wright. Sunday was one of the severest days we have had this winter. A blinding snow storm prevailed all day with the thermometer down to 18. Some of our young ladies and gentlemen indulged in sleigh riding on Monday. That shining orb in the galaxy of North Carolina journalism, the Durham Sun, has entered upon its Gth volume. Brother Robinson and his accomplished wife are making the Sun a most worthy exponent of Durham's interest. Long may it shine. Slip right along through the mud to A. Landis & Sons' and buy all you need in dry goods, shoes, clothing, furniture, furnishing goods, etc., from L. E. Wright at and below New York cost. The goods must be in the hands of the people to supply their needs, It is now said that 'Uncle Billy" Mitchell is monarch of Broad street. He will not submit to any entangling environments and stands alone out side of rings, clubs, associations and combinations which he says "have a decided tendency to deprive a man of free speech." Our old friend Taylor Overton, nf Fishine- Creek, the erreat silver man. was in Oxford on Wednesday.' He edified a large number of citizens on the silver question from the court rt i .i i' "i house steps, lie nas tne regular sil ver ring in his yoice and is spoken of by quite a number of his friends as a suitable candidate for the Leg islature. Mr. Frank Hester who lives near Oxford and his intle son 5 years old were up in the third story of their residence last Tuesday about 1 o'clock and the little boy leaned out of the window lost his balance and fell to the ground, a distance of 24 feet. His arm was broken in two places and he did not return to con scienceness for several hours. News and Observer says: Rev. Dr. W. S. Black has been appointed by Bishop Duncan to succeed the late Rev. Dr. S. D. Adams, as Pre siding Elder of the Warrenton Dis trict of the North Carolina Confer ence. Dr. Black has accepted and it is understood that he will at once tender his resignation as Superten dent of the Oxford Orphan Asylum. The Bland silver bill is still oc cupying the attention of the House, and the Senate is on the tariff bill. The administration andthegoldbugs are using every means in their power - . 1 "1 k 1 1 I 1 Ml j 1 to defeat tne i3iana silver Din in tne House. The Southern and Western Democrats will have to cut loose from Northern and New England Democrats if they ever accomplish anything in the direct interest ot the people. Mr. D. W. Hart. f Salem Town ship, came to Oxford last Friday mule back, and tied said mule in the rpar of Col. R. J. Mitchell's lot. In the afternoon when he got ready to go home he round nis mute gone. He does not know whether she broke lnnsp or some one rode her awav. She was a black mare mule and had on a blind bridle, and common AJi.vfl.1rv saddle with horn broke off . Anv information as to her where- .... i abouts will be jinerany rewarded. Married, on Wednesday morn ing, by Rev. -Dr. R. H. Marsh, at the residence of S. R. Puckett, Mr. Doc C. Frazier and Miss Callie Puckett. Immediately after the ceremony tho joyous wedding party left for the home of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gus Fraz;er's, where a sumptuous dinner was greatly en joyed. Our best wishes go with the young couple. The citizens of Raleigh street are very much obliged to Chief Renn for his kind remembrance of them on Monday with his snow plow, clear ing the white crystal off the side walks. We would further remark that they are not disputing among themselves about the location of the street lamp by the "dear old town dads." It matters not where it is put if it will serye to light them through the mud at night. Mr. Mayor call the Boai"5 together some dark night and march them down into the narrow portion of their do main and they will be sure to vote unanimously to give Raleigh street one flickering light. Trinity Topics. As Shoe Pecs was silent last week we are looking for a dandy as usual this time from him. We are obliged to call mention to Leopold as being the most regular and among tho best writers we have. It seems as if March has put in its appearance a little too soon as we pronounce Saturday and Sunday very suitable days for March. Our young people have lately en joyed themselves at the following places: Messrs. Alfred Sherman's, Silas Frazier's T. M. Davie s and others. We have the pleasure of meeting almost every Sunday in Sunday school Hustler and his chum. They are clever ycung men and are zeal ous Sunday school workers. Mr. Simon Bumpass, of Centre Grove, was to get off to Texas with his family Monday but owing to the bad weather we don't think he made the trip. May he prosper as he shall try the wilds of Texas. Mrs. R. D. Royster gave a party to the children a few nights ago and we learn it was a success, borne rew of the older young people had to go with the smaller ones but they had no part in the plays, cake eating and candy cracking. We hear that a man killed a hog over in Person a few days ago and the hog was so small when he put it in the tub to scald it he could not find it and had to go off and get him a fish hook to get it out. We don't vouch for the certainty of this. It seems as if Oxford surely is the place to sell tobacco as it looks like old times to see so many Person wagons going on to Oxford. vVe hailed one man as he came on back and asked him how tobacco was sell ing in Oxford. He said that tobacco was high and Cleveland was Presi dent. On last Saturday Squire J . G. Shot well and wife were called away to Stovall to see their sick sister Mrs. James Knott. The three bright lit tle girls went over to spend the night with their neighbor, Mrs. J. C. Cur rin, consequently the Major was left as chief cook and bottle washer. The snow came and the wind blew but it was not the consent of the Great I Am that the Major should freeze up and fall to the ground as it is written that a sparrow can't fall to the ground without His consent. Miss Maggie Knott, one of our clever yoong ladies, was in company with Mr. and Mrs. Shotwell. Goobers. Irregularity. Is that what troubles you ? Then it's easily and promptly remedied by Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They regulate the system perfectly. Take one for a gentle laxative or corrective ; three for a cathartic. If you suffer from constipation, indi gestion, bilious attacks, sick or bilious headaches, or any derangements of the liver, stomach or bowels, try these little pellets. They bring a permanent cure. Instead of shocking and weakening the system with violence, like the ordinary pills, they act in a perfectly easy and nat ural way. They're the smallest, the ea3 iest to take and the cheapest, for they're guaranteed to give satisfaction, or your money is returned. The cleansing, antiseptic and healing qualities of Dr . Sage's Catarrh Remedy are unequaled. For Sale. One horse six years old and nine Po land China Pigs. N. M. Cannady, feb23-4t. Wilton, N. C. Winter Oats For Sale. For genuine Winter Oats, apply to R.

S. H. Smith. febie-tf STAND BY US. Democratic on Principles -Not Run by Campaign Money. We again urge our business men and farmers to stand up to and sus tain their county paper. We work hard to build up our town and coun ty and trust the people will encour age us by their patronage. Scan our columns and you will see that but few of our business men are rep resented in our columns. As to subscribers some men think they ought to take a paper during a political campaign and then stop. This is like ploughing a horse in the summer and turning him out to live or die as soon as the crop is made. He would probably not be in good condition to plow next crop. Many good causes are helped forward by the newspaper, but some narrow minded men who disagree with the editor in his opinions begin to rally their followers to cut off all the patronage they can from the paper. Such men strive to down everybody that don't think as they do. Every county needs a first class paper and the only way to have it is for the people to give it their support con tinually. The man who furnishes a good weekly paper at one dollar per year is like the farmer who raises corn to sell at 40 cents per bushel or tobac co at $5 per hundred, his profits are very small. Some people make it a regular business to spunge on those who sub scribe to the paper. Some of them have cheek enough to send to bor row the county paper before the owners has read it. Some think be cause they are Democrats and a cam paign is on hand, we ought to send them the paper whether they pay or not. They seem to think that the leaders in the party support us (we wish they had gratitude enough to do it) or that we make occasional draws on a campaign fund. WTe do not see how that could be done after a few great big talkers put their bugles in the ears of the Executive Committee and make them be lieve that with a certain amount of boodle they can make their respective townships roll up a big majority, but when the returns come in it is the reverse, and the i.:ioney gone up the flue. We have gone through two campaigns and have as yet to receive any bonus from the party leaders. We furnished extra copies of paper in the last cam paign at cost, and in the former campaign we furnished Mr. Williams $10 worth of extra papers at cost. We make this statement because we have been repeatedly charged with beiag bought by our Third party friends. We did our best to defeat them because we believed they were wrong and we were right. But they were right in one thing they said Cleveland was a gold bug, fayoring money kings, which has proved true. We are anxious for every man to be a Democrat in principle and fa voring white supremacy and a gov ernment run in the interest of the whole people instead of trusts and monopolies, and we advocate these principles because we believe them to be right, and have neyer received a dollar for this work except the pat ronage of the people.

The narrow deserted strip within the "dear town dads" domain famil iarly known as Raleigh street, is still in the clutches of darkness. The poor deserted taxpayers continue to travel on a slippery wave and plunge blindly through the muddy deep. If some one lived down there that was high up in the synagogue of money they could afford to buy a lamp, but as they are poor have to take a back seat, submit to the irony of fate and await the moving of hearts of stone. It is not a particle of trouble for them to pay big lawyers fees, but when it comes to putting a four dol lar lamp down on Raleigh street they cannot afforcrit.

Coming and Going of Friends and Strangers. J. S. Brown, who has been sick some days, is out again. Dr. S. H, Cannady visited Har nett county last week on business. Messrs. Sam Harris and R. T. Alston, of Henderson, visited this office on Wednesday. Mrs. J. R. Wilder has removed from Oxford to Durham, where she will keep boarding house. .Messrs D. N. Hunt and C. F. Crews, of Dexter, and P. T. Ferra bow, of Stem, call to see us Thurs day. Messrs. J. T. and John Ragan, of Berea, and Taylor Hobgood weie pleasant visitors at this office Wed nesday. I. H. Breedlove, of Dexter, one of the working men on the Board of County Commissioneis, was on our streets Tuesday. A. W. Graham, Esq., visited Birmingham, Ala., and Washington City during the past week. He is not only a good lawyer but a regu lar mover on wheels. Mrs. J. B. Williams has return ed from a pleasant visit to her daughter, Miss Tempe, at Washing ton D. C. She had tne pleasure of hearing the gieat evangelist Moody preach. The editor attended the Fair at Newbern last week and pronounced it the best one we have attended in the State. The exhibits were fine, raceing good and the crowd immense. We congratulate the managers upon their grand success. The name of our most excellent townsman, Capt. T. D. Clement, is being mentioned in connection with the Superinteney of the Orphan Asy lum in place of Dr. Black who has been appointed by Bishop Duncan Presiding Elder, of Warrenton Dis trict. Dr. J. E. Wyche, the excellent dentist who has been located in Ox ford for several years, left on Wed nesday for Greensboro where he will make his future home. We regret to lose from our midst so valuable a citizen, and take pleasure in com mending him to the good people of Greensboro as a gentleman in every way worthy of their confidence and esteem. "I've tried all sorts of blood purifiers," said an old lady to a "cutter," and you san't persuade me that any other Sarsa parilla Is as good as Ayer's." There's where she had nim. sne Knew tnat Ay er's was the best and so did he, but it paid him Dette to sell a cheaper b and. President in North Carolina. President Cleveland is this week on Albemarle Sound duck hunting. He is accompanied by Secretary Gresham and Capt. Robley D. Evans, the naval secretary of the light house board. If any doubt have heretofore been entertained as to the President's attitude on the silyer seigniorage question those doubts seem to have been entirely removed by conversa tions with the President just before his departure for North Carolina. It is positively stated that one prin cipal source of the annoyance which led the President to seek relief in this trip in the face of a spell of un usually inclement weather was the continued effort in the House to re vive the silver agitation by the F31and bill to coin the silver seig niorage. From those who have re cently spoken to the President on this subject this information is derived. If the Congress had seen its way clear to coin the seigniorage it could have raised as much money as by the bond issue without in creasing the debts on the annual in terest thereon. But the money the President wanted was gold, not sil yer. It is generally understood that Secretary Carlisle, on his visit to New York to encourage the subscrip tions to the bonds, gave assurances either in his official or personal capacity, that the administration was and would be opposed to the coinage of the silver seigniorage. Passed Away. We regret to learn from the Dur Viam Run. FVb. 28th.. that "Mr. N. C. Lyon, a well-known farmer of Dutchville, in Granville county, died on Monday of asthma. He was about 65 years of age. He leave a wife, but no children. Mr. Lyon was well known m Durham and was highly esteemed. He was an uncle of Mrs. D. W. Whitaker and Mrs. J. H. Dick son, of this city." Mr. Lyon has many friends in Oxford who are pained to learn of his passing away. Johnsons Oriental Soap is far superior to all the other so-called medicinal soaps for beautifying the complexion. Sold by J. G. Hall. FISHED OUT OF THE RIVER. Body of a Hale Infant Pulled Out of Tar River. On Wednesday, Feb. 21st, John Jones, colored, concluded he would go fishing near Kimball's bridge across Tar river. While fishing he got his hook hung about 10 feet from the bank. He proceeded to twist it until he got the pole down in the water, which hung in a bag, and he called his companion, Willis Worth am, to help him pull it out. They succeeded in getting it out, and cut it open and besides a lot of rock round wrapped up in a very dirty underskirt a boy baby in the condi tion as when first born. Coroner J. W. Brown was notified and he summoned the following jury: J. R. Walters, J. K. Wood, Pomp Royster, W. D. Kimball. J. R. Moore and Elijah Averett who have not as yet rendered a verdict, owing to the fact that thev are usiner everv means to ferret out the crime, but as yet not a single clue has been obtained. The child was of mixed blood and supposed to haye had a black mother and white father. After the jury had viewed the body Coroner Brown nad it buried near by. VVe trulv hone some evident mn.v turn up so as to cause the guilty person to be brought to trial for muraer ot tne intant. We cannot see why the News-Observer-Chronicle should say that the child was from Oxford when the river is 7 miles from town, and there is not a particle of evidence to show where Ihe child came from or who put it in the river. We call upon the editor to make the correction as we feel sure he has no desire to do the good people of Oxford any in justice. BnckleuS Arnica Salve.

During the snow storm on Sunday an old colored man in Oxford step ped outside of his house when the piercing wind drew him up in the shape of a ball. Looking around he spied one of his white friends walk ing along the street and hailed him. Sambo said "look here, boss, I wouldn't hev had dis yer snow to hev happen' for $100. I tell you it is not right to let that weather man, Willie Biggs, stay in dis town, case if he hadn't put up dat ar blue flag dis weather would not come on de poor people of dis yer town." "Sa3', boss, another thing disturbs my mind dis morning and dat is if I ought not to become a good Samari tan to the people and go and pull down dat liag and stop it frum snow ing." The gentleman explained the sig nal business to him, telling him that neither Mr. Biggs or the flags ruled the weather. Sambo scratched his head and said, "I clare fore de Lord I thought it was Bie:gs and his blue flag dat brought de snow, but since you splained de thing to me, it must be de Lord dat am persecuting de peo ple fur being wicked."
