If you would just rush the right growler awhile this country would be all right. Coley Gill, of the Salem section, has 4 pigs 5G days old that weigh 51 pounds a piece. Capt. A. !S. Peace has been con fined at home some days on account of a severe cold. Mr. A. S. Hall has gotten his fine horse back from the training stable at Raleigh. Mr. and Mrs.'H. J. Council have gone to keeping house in the cottage m front of the Presbyterian church. Senator Ransom will address the Confederate veterans in Windsor at their annual reunion on the first Thursday in August. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Jackson, who has been sick several days with malarial fe ver, is greatly improyed. Mr. S. V. Ellis showed us on Tuesday, a hen egg that weighed 3J ounces. Dr. Marsh and Col. W. A. Bobbitt will take notice. The Teachers Assembly is now in session at Morehead City and a goodly number of people from Ox ford and Granville are in attendance. Unless your envelope states tie number of days you wish your letter held the, the postmaster by a new ruling will hold it thirty days instead of ten. We trust our Town Fathers will thke up promptly the suggestion made last week in our columns about horses running at large on the streets and stop it. Don't forget that Dr. J. E. Wyche will spend the month of July in Ox ford, and all in need of his services will do well to call earlv and make engagements. L, E. Wright will move the A. Landis & Sons' stock of goods July 1st, and is offering a great manv of the goods at half price now, as he has not room to put them. We were triad to meet in our office Tuesday, Mr. G. D. Pittard, much improved in health. ' On Fri day last he was taken quite sick, in Oxford, and suffered greatly. The old reliable Dr. C. D. II . Fort, is still plugging away at his old stand, always ready to fill the vacant cavities of your teeth as well as extract them without pain. As usual our people contributed largely to the dinner that will be given at the Orphan Asylum today. The people of Oxford and Granville county have always been noerai in their donation to the Orphan Asy lum. Last week the pet dog of Mr. R. S. Usrv became rabid and took the rounds bitiner auite a number of doss. He returned home when Mr. Usry discovered his condition and shut him up in his coal house until he died. Mr. F. M. Woody, of Sassafras Fork township, was in Oxford lues day with a load of tobacco. He was driving two mares with three mnle colts following them. Two of the little fellows were twins. It was the firt time we ever saw twin mules. Til is more truth than poetrv in this floating item: "My boy," said a father to his sou, "treat everyDoay with politeness, even those who are mdfi to vou. For remember that you show courtesy to others not be cause they are gentlemen, but be cause you are one." About 50 of our citizens joined the Baptist Sunday bchool excursion from Durham to Chase City, Va., on Tuesday. They report a very pleas ant time. The excursion was corn nosed of two of the Baptist Sunday Schools, and filled 10 cars. Verily it waa a happy crowd. The severest storm of the season nassml over Oxford Wendesday after noon about 7 o'clock. The rain came down in torrents, accompanied by hail. During the time lightning struck the Minor warehouse, tearing off shingles and weather-boarding. The damage is slight- At a business meeting of the Granville Grays on Monday night Rey. Ernest Thacfcer was elected nhfl.nlfl.in. Mr. W. L. Mitchell, cater er an d J. R. Dav. assistant. The boys are .making preparations for the encampment at Moreneaa v,uy, -m n . m ATI beginning the lutn ot juiy. Newspapers are like railroads, in the respect that it costs just as much to carry dead neads as it uoes the fellow who pays full fare. The trouble with us is that we have to contend with dead beats who sponere on those who have the manhood to subscribe. Just such dead beats are the first ones to criticise the editor. We know men right in our midst ri,. Ohio to take the paper that make it a regular business to read other people's paper. Just as we go to press we learn that the Town Commissioners have dispensed with the services of Gran Hunt. Mr. W. P. Whitaker, the clever representative of the News-Observ er-Chronicle, was amoHg the visitors to this office Wednesday. On Monday while Mr. Jack Chap- pell, of the Bethel section, was stack ing up his wheat in a pen he fell off and broke one of his arms. Dr. S. D. Booth was summoned who on ar rival set the broken limb. We are glad to learn that Mr. Chappel is getting along very well. Mr. S. C. Southerland, of Dur ham county, and Miss Mary C. Rog ers, of Oak Hill, were married on Sunday last by Squire R. E. Booth, of Shoo Fly. It was a . runaway match, he having captured her at church almost from under her fath er's nose. He was a lover bold. At Morrisville Wake county, on June 19, two daughters of Sheriff Page were married at the same time Miss Cora Page to John C. Cooper of Rowan county, and Miss Lary L. Page to Julian E. Johnson, of Padu cah, Ky.They are the sisters of Mrs James A. Robinson, of Durham. Sunday morning next at the Methodist church, at 11 a. m., the pastor will preach on the subject of "Woman work for Woman." Let all the gfood women be present, as the pastor has a special message for them. The men need not stay away as the sermon will be of interest to them as well. A cordial invitation to all. The remains of W. A. Bullock, a worthy young colored man, who died m Kiehmond on bunday, was brought to Oxford on Monday. He was a native or Ciranville and was very popular among his race. He was a member of the Masonic Fra ternity and the interment took place Monday afternoon under the auspices of that order. Where, oh Where is Lazarus Meadows? He went where? Billy Brown savs that he thought he mi l ' had given no bond, and under the mountainous circumstances that he, Billy, had no right to hold him (the said Lazarus) and he told him to go, and he went, and a distant echo answers. " where V1 JNow tne question arises who "hoodooed" our friend Billy Brown. We learn through the papers that the Trustees ot waKe s orest College prepared resolutions calling for the immediate cutting off of the State appropriation to the Universi ty. This Trustee John C. Scarboro', who is State Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction, sharply antagonized. The resolutions were modified. Mr. Scarboro was absent when the vote on them was taken. Mr. A. S. Vann vot3d against them. We are informed that Mr. J. M. Hobgood says that he did not mean to convey in his recent speech at Sunset, the impression that he pre ferred Dave Spencer and Wash Bridgers to white Democrats, but says he preferred them to war. It seems though, however, he does not object to negroes holding office over white people in Granville county, as he does not ask for a correction of that part of his spoech. We learn that the Thirdites will hold a conclave at Sunset, on Satur day. We take it that there will not be any Democrats present this time and they will have things their own way. We also take it that our friend Mr. J. M. Hobgood will be on hand and tell his few followers the great benefits to be derived by jiiegroes holding office oyer white people, expressed on a former occasion that he did not object to negroes holding office. Whenever you meet one of these smooth tongue, cautious individuals, who is afraid to express an opinion you can invariably put him down as everybody's man and will sooner or later vote either the Third party or the Republican ticket. He may pre tend to be a good Democrat, but is really worse than a mugwump. Do away with your deceit you humbug and be a Democrat or Rad one, and by all means do not play with the demagogues of the Third party. The Weldon correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch says: Cap tain W. H. Kitchin was here Mon day, en route to Louisburg, to take part in a Third party meeting. When asked by me what he would do should the Third party people put up a can didate for Congress in this district who favored government ownership of railroads, Sub-Treasury and other wild Populistic ideas, he said he would see him in the infernal regions before he would vote for him. The truth of the matter is Captain Kitch in is as good a Democrat today as he ever was, but he is trying to delude himself with the idea that he is a Populist. He will s6on pull out of the uncongenial company, bossed and whipped into line by Butler, and then the "fur will fly." Subscribe to the Public LEDafiR CLOSING EXERCISES. Hiss Hettle Minor's Commencement Thursday Night Last. The closing exercises of the most excellent school of Miss Hettie Minor was in every sense of the word a brilliant success. The spacious chap el oi the Orphan Asylum was filled with an eager audience knowing that the music andTecitations on the pro gramme would be carried out in a most successful manner. Their an ticipations were not disappointed. The music was of a highly credit able and enjoyable character, and so were the recitations and other parts of the proceedings. Every body seemed delighted as manifested by the applause which was genuine. Medals were awarded to Master Jack Booth and Miss Julia Usry for exem plary deportment and to Miss Julia Minor for highest average. Rev. J. B. Hurley in a pleasant and appropriate manner delivered the two former and Capt. John A. Williams delivered the one to that most promising little lassie Miss Julia Usry. The good order that prevailed and the close attention given to the pro ceedings throughout proved that the entertainment was enjoyed by the large crowd present. A Good Plan. Greensboro Record says: So much has been said about this man and that man's claims for United States Senator that several plans have been suggested for eliminating the ques tion from the canvass. Why not authorize the opening of a box on the day of the general elec tion where every Democrat can ex press his preference for Senator, and then let every man abide the result. Where is there anvthing wrong about such a plan ? Much has been said about the "will of the peope," and this is the best way to get at it. We Object. In last week's issue of the Gran ville Reformer, the editor paid a high complimented to Mr. James Cozart, the first deputy under Sheriff W. S. Cozart, and totally ignored the good Sheriff. We have no objection to his complimenting Mr. James Cozart but we do object to the discrimina tion made, from the fact that it tended to show that friend Brown ignored the man that appointed him a deputy sheriff, who is really his superior officer. We have great respect for our clever Sheriff and take pleasure in coming to his rescue by giving him credit for being Sheriff of Granville county. Messrs. J. T. Cozart and J. W. Brown are his subordniates, and have performed their respective duties no doubt to the satisfaction of their su perior officers, who watches well over the affairs of the office if he does not spend most of his time in town. An Angel Now. The spirit of little Janie, the 17 months old daughter of Major and Mrs. Bev. S. Royster, passe.d up to the realm of everlasting bliss on Sunday morning at 7 :30 o'clock, af ter a few days illness. "A bursting flower in the spring of life, with but the first sweet fra grjance of its promised loveliness" has been plucked from the arms of its parents on earth and borne by angels into the Garden of God to bloom in immortal beauty. She was an unusually bright little girl, sweet and good, possessing win ning smiles, and was the pet of the neighborhood. The burial took place on Monday afternoon at 6 o'clock at Elmwood Cemetery, conducted by Rev. J. S. Hardaway. As loved ones, and the large number of sorrowing friends, stood around the little casket until all that was mortal of the dear child was laid in the cold damp earth amid a bed of roses that lined tie grave, they could not think of her as dead only transplanted to bloom in the Eternal Kingdom. May the comforting influence of the Divine Being enable the afflicted ones with cheerful hearts, filled with love for God say "By thy hand the boon was given, Thou has taken but thy own; Lord on earth and God of Heaven, Evermore, Thy will be done."

If some of the leaders of the Demo cratic party? in Granville county show their preference for rank Re publican negro politician over de serving Democrats and other worthy citizens as appearance indicate, and. General Apathy should be the result in the coming campaign Democracy will not stand much show against Republican and Third partyism. Let the negro boss politician, Gran Hunt, brilliant services be dispensed with by a Democratic Board of Commis sioners, among whom is some of the recognized leaders of the partv in the county, and let some Democrat get the $18 per month. We feel sure they could iind(some one in the line of the party that would be able to perform the onerous duties assigned the great emblem ot dogmatic Re publicanism. Down with him up with a Democratic. If the Board are hugging thought to their breast that the and the Re- publican sinner will repent, and they be able to use him, ignoring those who have fought said Gran Hunt at the polls, they will be greatly mis taken. Even now while drawing Democratic money is working with might and main to secure the nomi nation of a Republican for an im portant office in the county, which he has a perfect right to do. The trouble with the Democratic party in Granville county is because the leaders ignore party workers and bestow favors and other prerequsite upon those who make them believe that they hold the balance of power in their respective localities. Away with mugwumpism as it has almost ruined the Democratic party, and let us stand by our true colors, and fight boldly like Republicans do, for the principles which we espouse. We opine after the election is over you will hear this same Gran Hunt bragging to his Republican" friends how he pulled the wool over the eyes of Democrats and soaked down in his pockets $18 per month of good old Democratic money, while at the same time was hard at work for the Republican party and negro rule.
