WooTnmnr.TC, of "Wortham, Texas, saved the life of her child by tho use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. "One of my children had Croup. The case was attended by our physician, and was supposed to be well under control. One nijrlit I was startled by the child's hard breathing, and on going to it found it stran gling. It had nearly ceased to breathe. Realizing that the child's alarming condition had become possible in spite of the medicines iriven, I reasoned that such remedies would be of no avail. Having part of a bottle of Ayer'8 Cherry Pectoral in the house. I gave the child three doses, at short intervals, and anxiously waited results. From the moment the Pectoral was given, the child's breathing grew easier, and. in a short time, she was sleeping quietly and breathing naturally. The child is alive and well to-day, and 1 do not hesitate to say that Ayer's Cherry Pec toral saved her life." AYER'S Cherry Pectoral Prepared by Dr. J . C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Maes.

Gardening is very fashionable now with our people. Well many a man who is a good shot in this world hopes to miss fire in the next. "No man is naturally brave," says an authority; and yet men get married every day. Winter has gone and through the tree-tops the spring zephyrs are breathing a sigh of re-leaf. The Breckinridge-Pollard case needs disinfecting. So does three of the small houses on Center Ware house lot. Let. the rank and file Democrats have backbone enought to stand up to their Democratic organ if the lead ers have not. Mr. H. A. Crenshaw, of Louis was in Oxford Tuesday. He qualified as administrator of the late Colonel John Johnson. He "What a sad face that woman has." She "Yes, poor dear. She must have either loved and lost, or loved and got him." Wright you are and Wright you will be if you buy goods from L. E. Wright at A. Landis & Sons at and below New York cost. As Spring is at hand the young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of buying a bicycle, and S, H. Smith is the man to buy it from. If it is a fact that "everything comes to him who waits," the people on Smith Hill,Huntburg and Raleigh street will eventually get lamps. Calamity howlers of money May sniffle and swear and sweat ; The skies of the southland are sunny And there's life in the old land yet !. There is one consolation for Simpson in spite or the many hard knocks At thirdite platform he limps on, They can't beat him out of his socks. Miss Emma Day, of Baltimore, has arrived and taken charge of the Millinerv Department of Messrs. Long Bros., and is ready to serve the ladies. The followiner oninions in the A Supreme court have been handed down from Granville: Harrison vs. Harrison, affirmed; Cozart vs. Hern don, affirmed. Fishing Creek is a winner this time. Our friend W. M. Bradford, of that township, was on our streets Tuesday with the first straw hat of the season on. The important thing in the mat ter of cleaning the streets is not who cleans them, but they be cleaned as well as the back lots. Now is the time to begin the work, Lester Wright comes out boldly and gives the A. Landis & Sons' cost mark in his big advertisement else where, showing that he is shoving the goods off at New York cost. Life has two surprises. In youth one is surprised that he knows so much. When .he has reached ma tured life he is surp'rised that there are so many things that he doesn't know. Not a flickering ray of light from a lamp on Raleigh street has as yet cast a shadow in that locality, and the taxpayers will snicker when they see it. "Truth Child," as Dock Overby would say. We are gratified to state that our "dear old Town Dads" have come to their reason and given out the contract to put a wire fence around the old cemetery C feet high. It should have been done long ago. The true and unswerying Demo crat, Dr. Melville Dorsey, of Hender son, spent a few hours in Oxford on Wednesday. We found him true to old Grover despite his mugwumpism. Maybe the doctor is right, and we will be praising Mr. Cleveland before his terms expires. - Well put by an exchange. John Sherman resign ! Not so long as he has a leg to carry him to the Capital. Not so long as there is an invalid's chair to be had or a bottle or tonic. Not so long as Foraker lives and rings the fire gong, and has his hun gry eye fixed on Washington. The iron-ore Senators, the coal mining Senators, the collar-and cuff Senators are taken care of. Where do the farmer Senator come in? Ran som ought to represent the farmer, but he is the finest cuff manipulator in the Senate when he is bluffing a tar heel applicant for an office. Batchelor headquarters Wed nesday evening was in the throes of Spiritualism. Tables rocked, spirits rapped, sticks stood erect in the floor without human assistance. It is said the "Kid," after his talk with the spirits was taken with an itching sen sation which lasted about half an hour, caused no doubt from nervous ness as he had never participated in a spirits' rapping before. There will be a pic nic at Can nady's Mill on Monday. Read the different legal adver tisements which appear in this issue of the paper. The Cadets of Horner School will enjoy a pic nic Monday, at Cheatham's pond. The business in the Register of Deeds office kas greatly increased in the past two weeks. Leak Landis captured the medal Monday afternoon at the target prac tice of Granville Grays, making 21 out of 25 shots. The Misses Kronheimer have a nice line of Millinery which the ladies will do well to inspect before placing their orders. The reception tendered Rev. and Mrs. Ernest Thacker on Tuesday evening at the College Street Semi nary was a most delightful social af fair. It is said when dogwood trees bloom and the voice of the whippoor will is heard in the land the weather is settled and the warm sunshine has come to stay. Paris Bros, proclaim to the peo ple in another column that they can furnish more goods for one dollar than any other house in town. They have a nice line of spring goods just opened up that are attractive. The State Farmers' Alliance will observe April 24th that being the birthday of Col. L. L. Polk, its first President, and sub-alliances will meet for the purpose of raising funds for a monument in his memory. The dog belonging to little "Cleve" Holloway, a few days ago snapped at one or Mr. 1. W. Jack son's little children and stuck one or his teeth in its arm. The child is getting along all right and. we trust no serious results will follow. Mr. J. G. Hall has things nicely arranged to supply those in need of medicine at night after the store is closed. Mr. Hall has a pair of steps running down from his room into the store, and when he gets the medicine he raises a wicket in his room door and shoots it out and awaits the next summons. The Central Alliance Warehouse of Danville, Va., Monday filed a trust deed to secure creditors to" amount of $3,000. It was established two years ago for the sale of leaf tobacco. Thus one by one the Alliance enter prises go to the wall, from an over dose of Thirdism with a negro mix ture taken in broken doses. Miss May Francis has returned from her trip to New York an Balti more in the interest of L. E. Wright's Millinery depaitment, and will on Friday, the 23rd inst., have ready for display the cheapest and most at tractive line of new style spring hats and bonnets ever before shown in Oxford. All the ladies invited to attend. They talk about a woman's sphere, As though it had a limit. There's not a place in earth or heaven There's not a task to mankind given, There's not a blessing or a woe, There's not a whisper, yes or no, There s not a life, a death, a birth, That has a feather's weight of worth Without a woman in it ! ' Kate Field. The Republicans are casting their eyes towards Mr. J. M. Sikes, the outgoing clever postmaster, as the man to nominate for Superior Court Clerk on the Republican ticket. In case this should be so what is going to become of Dr. A. J. Dalby, who expects to get the nomination from the fusion and get a competent Republican to run it. In case our friend Sikes is a candidate it will "spile" the deal. After all, the act of joining the church is like entering the school. The member comes to learn; he does not expect to know it all at the start. It is like enlisting in the army; a man enlists that he may be come a soldier and a veteran. Ad mit the member upon credible as surances of his regeneration; then instruct him m doctrine and duty, until he shall have attained unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, says the National Baptist.

The Board of Directors of the Oxford Orphans' Home, held a meet ing last evening at Hotel Carrolina to elect a Superintendent in place of Dr. Black, who lesigned. All of the members of the Board were present except A. H. A. Wil hams, who was in Washington. Those present were John Cotton, of Tarboro, chairman ex-officio; N, B. Broughton and G. Rosenthal, of Raleigh; T. A. Green, Newbern; Fielding Knott, of Oxford; Dr. J. N. Ramsey, of Seaboard; J. S. Carr and B. N. Duke, of Durham. The Board met at 8:30 and were in session until midnight. A number of candidates were before the Board -N. M. Lawrence, of Tarboro: ex- mayor W. H. Dodd, of Raleigh; Dr. Williams or Davidson College; Phil Howell, of Goldsboro; Sol. B. Wil liams, of Warrenton, and A. L. Betts, of Madison. Mr. Nat. M. Lawrence, of Tarboro, was elected. His term of office will begin in May of this year and ex tend to September of 1895, by reason of a change made by the Board. Mr. Lawrence is a gentleman of fine business capacity and is exceed ing popular with all classes. A gentleman, no ways connected with the Board, remarked this morning that the Board could have looked over the entire State and it could not have selected a better man. He is well fitted for the position. It is a source of gratification to the Masonic fraternity that the Home has fallen into such competent hands and there is much rejoicing here over the happy selection, and it is not said with any disparagement to the other gentlemen who desired the position, for they were all suitable and competant. Durham Sun of the 21st. An Excellent Entertainment. - On Saturday evening next Mr. Francis Labadie and Miss Hattie Rowell, assisted by the famous Hey wood's Celebrities, will make their appearance at the Opera House in a grand olla podrida of opera, comedy and concert. These pleasing enter tainers will appear here under the auspices of the Odd Fellows and come highly recommended. The program will consist of selections in costumes from William Gilbert's mythological comedy "Pygniahan and Galatea," followed by solos and assembly members with violin, cor net and piano and vocal solos. The entertainment concludes with Mr. Labadie and Miss Rowell in their celebrated impersonations of Mr. and Mrs. Honeyton in that beautiful comedy, "A Happy Pair," which was the bon mot of Louis James' repertoire for many years. The prices of admission are 50 and 75 cents. Reserved seats are now on sale at Kronheimer's. J. A. Renn, Manager. A. W. Graham for Congress. It is said that A. W. Graham, of Oxford, comprises the best all round qualities to make a successful run for Congress in the h if th District. He has many warm friends in each county who would pull off their coats and roll up their sleeves and work unceasingly until the sun went down on election day. He has already served several terms in the Legislature and is one of the best equipped public men in the district, and will not be afraid to meet Mr. Settle on the stump. He will also not be afraid to meet his constituents, nor will he practice any decep tion on them; neither will he turn his back on his political friends. He possesses the confidence and esteem not only of the people of Granville, but of Orange, Durham, Alamance, Caswell and Person coun ties, and we say candidly this district would be most fortunate in having a man of his character and ability to represent it in Congress.

Mrs. J. R. Adams, mother of W. T. and J. H. Adams, near Dutch ville, Granville county. On her place she has a tenant house occu pied by Henrietta Hobgood and her three children, the vouncrest about 2 years old. On Thursday morning Henrietta went out to attend to some uties on the place and left the chil dren at the house. Several hours afterwards the cabin was discovered to be on fire, and it burned down. also burning: to death the vountrest child. The fire had gained such headway that it was impossible to save anything. One corner of the house, nearest the bed, was pulled away and the child was taken out with a pitchfork, but the fire had al ready done its deadly work and life was extinct. The supposition isth; t the children were playing with straws in the fire and this communi cated the flames to the building. Another warning to people who are in the habit of leaviner fire and chil dren together alone. Durham Sun. Oxford Tobacco Market. Among the many tinners that the Public Ledger has worked unceas- ingly for has been the upbuild ing of the Oxford. We have at all times and under all circumstances urged our farmer friends to stand by their home market. We are glad to see the Granville County Reformer stepping in and aiuing us m tne work. That's right, brother Brown, if we are not with you on your reform scheme to place our county and State under the con trol of your old bosom friends, the Republicans, nevertheless we are glad to have your aid in helping to build up our tobacco market. On Tuesday "our boys" got wild, and shot prices "up among the rat ters" and the farmers went home glad at heart. We tell all classes of our farmers that Oxford cannot be outbid on tobacco crop round. It is now said that there is not a fourth of the crop in the hands of the far mers, and we tell them that no mar ket can pay higher prices for the remnant of the crop than Oxford Timely Warning. B. W. II. in Granville County Reformer requests us to publish the following : We wish to say to our brother farmers that it is very im- portant for us to study the political state of the country and keep our selves posted on the great questions of the day, knowing that the world is depending on us for support, we should be careful not to let the world eret too larere an adyantage of us and reap the reward of our labor by tricks and schemes, while we are scratching in the dirt and they go dressed in Sunday clothes every day. This is a yery great shame I think and if I am lucky later on I may point out some of the tricks they use to fool us with. What I called attention to is, the Spring is upon us and the season for clearng the new land of brush and trash. It behooves us to pay particu lar attention to keeping fire in its proper place. You ought to remem ber the forest fires of last spring when many farmers suffered from loss of time and distruction of pro perty Bro., farmers, let us be careful that no fire escapes from our farms. I wish we could attach a penalty to the one who through neglect lets the fire escape from his farm. With good wishes for you, brothers, and all mankind, I am as ever, B. W. H.
