'Among the many testimonials which I see in regard to certain medicines perform ing cures, cleansing the blood, etc.," writes Henry Hudson, of the James Smith Woolen Machinery Co., 1'hiladelphia, Pa., "none impress me more than my own case. Twenty years ago, at the age of 18 years, I had swellings come on my legs, which broke and became running: sores. Our family physician could do me no good, and it was feared that the bones would be affected. At last, my good old mother urged me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I took three bottles, the sores healed, Iff and I have not been 153 troubled since. Only the soars remain, and the memory of the past, to remind me of the good Ayer's Sarsaparilla lias done ine. I now weigh two hundred and twenty pounds, and am in the best of health. I have been on the road for the past twelve years, have noticed Ayer's Sarsaparilla advertised in all parts of the United States, and always take pleas ure in telling what good it did for me." For the cure of all diseases originating in impure blood, the best remedy is AYER'S Sarsaparilla Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Maes. Cures others, will cure you A Wagon Load Of Money does not necessarily imply content and happiness on the part of its possessor. It is not money that gives us pleasure, but the things that money will buy. Some people spend money fool ishly, and fancy they find enjoy ment in doing1 it, but the pleasure is more fancied than real. No man who buys The McCormick No. 4 Steel Mower can ever be accused monej' foolishly, and of spending he'll find a hundred reasons to convince him of his wisdom. We are building the No. 4 to meet the demand for a really su perior mower, one that embodies the prime requisites of durability, con venience and light draft. You'll like this mov.-cr; not merely because thousands of other farmers like it, but because it is a really likeable machine. If you are going to buy a mower you ought to see the No. 4.

A large crop of corn has been planted in Granville county. A son was born unto Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Collins Monday morning. Judge Winston is now holding Courts in the 10th or mountain dis trict. The late rains gave our farmers an opportunity to finish setting out tobacco. Sheriff W. S. Cozart has proyed a very efficient officer in the collec tion of taxes. Mr. Alf Hobgood has been eon- nned to nis nonie this week on ac count of sickness. We learn that hail fell on Wed nesday afternoon to the depth of 4 inches at Soudan, Va. A brighteyed little niaiden is just now tiie center 01 attraction in the home of Mr. Sidney Hunt. Tob&'-cco continues to be sold in considerable quantity on our market, and prices are stiff on colory grades Mrs. W. H. Daniel, of Salem, has a duck that has layed 120 eggs from 15th of January to the 15th of May. In order to give the populous locust lust now ,a chance Congress ought to close up its business and ad journ. We will thank the party who carried off our brass pad lock to re turn it. It is no use to you without the keys. The wheat and oat crop has greatly improved since the late co pious rains, and our tarmers are much encouiaged. Mr. N. M. Lawrence, Superin tendent of the Orphan Asylum, has purchased from Mr. T. W. Winston his fine Jersey cow. Charity, in the minds of a good many people, means giving away to others to others the things that you do not want yourself. Owing to the inclement weather on Friday night the concert at Gran ville Institute did not take place. It was postponed until the oth of June. It is said that you can't get a Senator to take any sugar in his just now as the bribery investigation is going on. It seems too criminating. Drs. G. A. Coggleshall and B. K. Hays at the meeting of the Medical isoara at ureensporo last weeK, were 1 1 t 1 MM 1 granted license to practice medicine in this State. we were in error last ween m stating that C. H.

Council, to Miss Julia Savage, of Louisburg, will be solemnized June 5th, at the residence of Mr. J. J. Medford, in that town. Mr. B. T. Thomasson, a thrifty young farmer ot Stem, called on the old man Thursday. He made a big smile spread over our ugly face when lie said : "itie I'UBLic ledger was such a erood paper he could not do without it." Weaie gratified to learn that our Baptist friends have decided to finish up some portions of the main church building, and complete the Sunday School Room and to worship in it until the completion of the main building. A mad dog created considerable excitement on Hillsboro street Mon- day morning, put did not uite any body. Chiet Itenn neard ot it and was soon on his track with a double- barrel shot gun, but did not get up with his dogship. Mr. S. L. Adams, who is for the present making his headquarters at Clarksville, Va., called to see us on Wednesday. He has kindly consen ted to act as agent for the Public Ledger in his territory. He is good writer and a clever gentleman. -The special "Children's Day" services announced to take place last Sunday morning at the Methodist lmrf.h was oostooned on account of the beloved pastor, Rev. J. B. Hurlev. being summoned to the bed side of his dear mother who was crit ically ill. A deep-dyed in wool colored Re publican is now engaged in furnish ing lights tor a Democratic Town ad ministration to see bv. -It is proposed that every county in the State on the Gth of June form Vance Monument Associations. We truly hope Granville will not be be hind other counties in the grand work, and trust our people will take steps at once to form an Association. It is said our friend Billy Brown, of the Reformer, is j"ust itching to occupy the easy chair in the Regis ter of Deeds office for two years and record mortgages, &c. When our friends wants an office he is not afraid to say so, and is no doubt pull ing the Populist wires for the nomi nation. We trust our Board of Magiss trates will be very careful the first Monday in June in the selection of our Board of County Commissioners, as it should be composed of the best men in the county. The present Board has been a painstaking and economical one, and we see no rea son why they should not be re-elected. The closing exercises of Oxford Academy and Graded School, col., took place at the Opera House Wed nesday evening. The scholars ac quitted themselves with much credit, showing that the principal, Rev. J. A. Fuller and his assistants, had taken great pains in training the children. During the school year 278 were enrolled. Mr. S. L. Howard, of Culbreth was among the many welcome visi tor to our omce Monday. ie was on his way to attend the laying of the corner stone of the Confederate mon ument at Jxaieign. je had swung T -k 1 1 TT 1 across his shoulders the haversack that he carried through the war. It had through one corner of it a hole made by a minnie ball in one of the battle in Virginia. It was our pleasure to attend the Presbyterian Church on Sunday . - . - . morning last, and heard the talented young pastor, Rey. Ernest Thacker, deliver an able sermon on the sub ject of "Life." In the course of his remarks he most beautifully portray ed the life of Christ to the congre gation present, ne closed urging j 1 TT 11 them to live nearer the Master and thus be enabled to reach a blessed immortality. The State bank issue which has been gathering strength at caucuses and conferences ever since Congress assembled promises to be fought to a finish in the House during the 1 Ti -lit" . coming weoK. it win bring out a 1 . sharp contest on party as well as the State Bank economic lines, as plank of the Democratic national platform has advanced the question to a place of importance second only to those or tariff and silver. Great credit is due Messrs. A. W. Graham, II? M. Shaw, B. S Royster, Capt. Jno. A. Williams. Capt. Win. Landis and others whose names we cannot recall, for the large attendance of Confederate Veterans at Raleigh on Tuesday. Every Vet eran had a badge with the name of the company and regiment he be longed to printed 011 it. Granville is hard to beat when she tries. All honor to the Veterans of the War ! It is a source of regret to us to learn of the discharge from the Gov ernment Printing office of our friend R. L. Bobbitt. Through the influ ence of Capt. Baldy Williams he se cured a place as copy holder in the proof room iast year which he has ac ceptably filled as his chief says he is an efficient man, but not a printer. The rules of the office require that such positions shall be occupied by printers. We feel sure that Mr. Bob bitt will secure a place in another department. -We preach about liberty and then tax the free citizen for the priv ilege of making a living, and for the right to trade. We insist upon our "Dear Old Town Dads" abolishing the privilege tax if Raleigh street has to lose (?) her lamp so generous ly a lowed by unanimous consent 01 tne i5oard, Mayor and jnier in cluded. Wo never thought the heart of the King of the Board would be touched so deeply as to allow his be nighted subjects to basque in the rays of a kerosene lamps. Thanks, Brutus ! We believe strictly in Democrat ic principles, and voting tor men nominated by a Demociatic Conven tion, but when elected it makes our heart sick to find that said Dem ocrats employs the most obnoxious negro Republican in Oxford or Gran ville country to enjoy the emolu ments of a Democratic administra tion. This is the case with our pres ent Town administration, and in the name of true Democracy we call for a change. The Democratic party in Oxford must be getting down to a low ebb when only an obnoxious Re publican can be found to fill a place under Democratic rule. Don't abuse Grover Cleveland any more for not turning the "rascals out." Several choice brands of export and domestic beer has just been re ceived at the saloon of J. T. Wiley, along with pure apple brandy, choice rye whiskey and pure old corn whiskey, suitable for medicinal purposes. Remember that the Public Led ger Job Office is fully prepared to do all kinds of printiner at lowest possible prices. Satisfaction guar anteed. It is not necessary to send your j'ob work away when yon can get it neatly executed in your own town. We earnestly seek the sup port of our business men and others in this line. Time brings about many changes! Who would have ever thought that a straight Democratic Board of Town Commissioners would employ one of the most obnoxous colored Repubh- hcans in Granville county. WhenJ an election is near at hand if he is 300 miles away he always turns up and is the biercrest man around the polls, fighting the Democratic party with all the energy at his command. The wish is parent to the thought with some people that the Democratic party is going to pieces. It has stood the attacks of the enemies, within and without, for nearly one hundred yearsjand with its prin ciples founded on the bed-rock of equal rights to all men and a gov ernment by the majority will be the party of the people for hundreds of years to come. Like every just cause it can be crushed down, but not kill ed. Get in the wagon and join the ba'nd. Satterwhite Mayings. We learn that the pastor of Moun tain Creek church preached a good sermon last Sunday. We are glad to say that the crops of wheat and oats are looking well in this part of the county. We are sorry to say the fruit trees in this section will not bare but little fruit, but don't forget the strawberry and blackberry vines and bushes are all right. We learn that Miss Salhe Hunt. who has been teaching subscription school at White Rock church for some time, will leave soon. She is going near Roanoke, Va., to teach a large school. Our best wishes go with her. Our farmers, are as busy as bees at work on their farms and we hope they will succeed in making fine crops this year. Jbome tew or our farmers finished planting tobacco this week and some are about half done and will finish about the first of June. Last Friday we had a terrible wind, rain and hail storm. It tore up the trees in some parts of our country that have stood many storms, but we are glad to say it did us but very lit tle damage. The hail-stones were small and fell very slow. We learn that Mr. W. W. Hart and his wife with her little babe left the house when the storm came up and stayed out in the rain until it ceased. I was almost tempted to do the same thing, but thought over the matter in a moment anu stoou my grouuu, thinking that one place was as good as another. 1 j -l i P. M. Wake up Friends. We urge every Democrat in Gran ville, who would like to see a good Demecratic journal published in the county, to aid in extending the cir culation of the Public Ledger. If for some reason you do not like the editor and will not do it on that ac count, remember it is for the dissem ination of Democratic principles and not for the benefit of the editor di rectly. ; It is true no man running a news paper can please everybody and it is useless for him te try, but we do try to give the people the best paper we can get out for the amount of pat ronage we receive. There are business men and others in Oxford who do not even subscribe to their county paper,thereby extend ing no encouragement to the vehicle that is always at work to build up Oxford and Granville county. It may be that they have no county or town pride, or they read the papers of those who have pride enough to encourage the editor in his efforts to build up a first-class weekly paper in the county.

POLITICAL BALL IN MOTION. Speaking at Sunset on the 14th inst--A Breezy Time. We learn that on Monday of last week Capt. Ruf us Amis spoke at Sunset to an audience of some 30 people. Seven or eight Democrats were present. The bulk of Captain Amis' speech was the abuse of the democratic party, and upholding Republicanism, with a leaning to . . . a -J MM .... J j . , -- r' - ,t uicuiuciB yiL that party. The great and only Ben Thoro was on hand, and at the conclusion of Capt. Amis' Republican-Thirdite ad dress arose and replied t the charges made by the Captain against the Democratic party, proy ing conclusively that the Republican party aione was responsible for said acts. In the course of his remarks he referred to the misrule in Granville in the dark days of Re publicanism when David Spencer and Wash Bridgers were members of the Board of County Commissioners that squandered $!5,000 of the'peo ple's money. He poured hot shot into the Republican and Thirdite camp, and is said to have made the best all around Democratic speech ever heard at Sunset. Mr. J. M. Hobgood was the next speaker, who made a feeble attempt to repiy to Mr. Thorp. The giant of Sunset commenced to roll out his Third party thunder and defended the Republicans and his own party. In the course of his remarks he said he would rather see the ripp-ms. Dave Spencer and Wash RriHo-Ars. members of the Board of Countv Commissioners to-day than Demo crats. He also said he was willirur for negroes to hold offices over white people, and from our standpoint Should hftVft fl.Hdprl- cnnanrlav Vm hard earned money of the white men, thereby imposing, great hardships upon tne taxpayers ot Granville. It seems that considerable feeling had cropped out about this time, and brougnt Mr. o. n (Jole to his feet. He said he could not make a speech, but must say that he regretted to see so muen prejudice displayed, and hoped to see the white people of Granville county come together and work tor the economical administra tion of public affairs. He said he had never been a Republican, but a Democrat until he joined the Third party, and was not in favor of negro rule, In closing his remarks said he truly hoped there might be some means brought about by which the white people of county and State would unite for the preservation of good government.
