It has been said that the man who deadbeats his county paper will fail to have a tombstone erected to mark his resting place when he drops out of the slot of time. The Flat River Association met at Mountain Creek Baptist church on Tuesday. There was a large crowd in attendance each day, and Oxford was well represented. Hurrah for Gus Graham! Give him plenty of stiff Democratic breeze and faithful work and he will redeem the old Fifth District from the grasp of such a political demagogue as Mr. Tom Settle. We ask the business men if they really want to reach the people of Granville? Advertise your business in the Public Ledger and help sus tain the medium that is doing all it can to build up Oxford and Gran ville. We regret to learn that the hail on Monday afternoon did considera ble damage to the tobacco crops ot Messrs. A. C. Parharn and J. T. Cheatham, of Granville, and Rufus Gissom, Ed. Breedlove, Wm. Breed loye and others, in Vance. Mr. E. H. Osborn, depot agent of the Southern Railway Co., at Dabney, and Miss Lizzie Knott, of Oxford, were quietly married at the residence of Mr. J. E.

If you want to know how to edit a newspaper ask the man who dead- beats his county paper, being so stingy that if he paid 5 cents for one copy he would have to go to the -li -iix-ii poor house, ana ne win ieii you ex actly how it should be edited. Just such men stand around and kick about the course the editor is pursu ing. R. L. Thorp, of Boydton, Va., an old Granville boy, and brother of the inimitable Ben Thorp, of Oak Hill township, has been unanimously nominated for Congress by the Re publican convention of the Fourth irginia district. The district is largely Republican, and he is en dorsed by the Populists also. Dur ham Times. One night last week some of the light-fingered gentry relieved Col. R. O. Gregory of ten chickens, and one nijrl?t this week Mr. Worsham suffered the loss of a number. It seems that the thieves have a spe cial spite against that neighborhood, which is on Asylum street. We trust something will be done to catch the thieves in order that the balance ol the residents may keep their chick ens. The County Democratic Conven tion does not meet untu the middle of September. It's a good ways oil but no one can complain that they have not time to choose the best men. To this task the Democrats ot Granville county should now com mend themselves, so that when tut work of the convention is done we will have the strongest ticket in the field we have ever had. Every Dem ocrat in the county ought to make up his mind now to go to the prima ries and take a hand in nominating: a strong ticket. It seems to oe an idea of desert ers, says a writer, that everybody is iust like them. Durinc the war whenever a Confederate soldier de serted and went to the Yankees he always reported that Lee's army were all deserting and no doubt caused the Yankee generals to make attacks, and get whipped, when oth erwise they might not; Captain Archie Gregory thinks that because he has deserted the old Democratic shin, that everybody else has the fact is that he has left the party and he don't know who has come to us since he has been gone. Mr. Ernest Edgerton has re turned from a pleasant visit to rela tives in Warren county. Dr. C. E. Taylor, president of Wake Forest College, spent several days in Oxford this week. The infant child of Mr. J. H. Wilkins, who lives in Sassafras Fork township, died Wednesday evening. Grant T. Foster not only deals in tough beef, but is going to do his best to give the Democrats a tough time in the coming election. We are sorry to learn that Dr. Pat Booth is confined to his home with an attack of malarial fever. We wish this excellent gentleman a speedy recovery. tVll Democrats and eyerybody m favor of good government and who want to keep up with the campaign can now get the Public Ledger un til Jan. 1st, 1895, for the small sum of 25 cents. Master Dock opencer, who is employed by Mr. H. J. Council, got one of his hands too near the jig saw on Wednesday and lacerated two or his fingers. They were not badly cut and will soon cure up. oorae rasrs m an out house on the lot of Mr. J. S. Brown caughtm lire Wednesday afternoon, and an alarm was sounded, but before the Hook and Ladder Company reached the house the flames had been put out. At Greensboro on Wednesday, Tom Settle was nominated for Con gress by acclamation, by the Repub lican convention, Now the question uppermost in the minds of the peo ple of Granville is, what Capt. Rufus Amis is going to do about it ? The freight train on the Oxford n si t Till os ciarKsviiie road that arrives in Oxford at 1 o'clock p. m. ran off the track near Bullock on Wednesday and demolished several cars. Trains were delayed some hours. The dam age was not very great. A colored brakeman was seriously injured in ternally. Rev. Mr. Love, of Suffolk, Va., and Miss Carrie Gregory, one of our most accomplished young ladies, were quietly married on Tuesday at the home of the bride's parents, by Rev. C.

Have manhood enousrh to pay a small amount for reading your real county paper, as you have dead heated it ever since you boycotted the paper -That christian gentleman, Hon. C. M. Cooke, of Franklin, was nomi- nated for Congress at Raleigh Wed- nesday to succeed Hon. B. H. Bunn. Good ! In the ninth District Hon. W. T. Crawford was renominated by acclamation, at Asheville. Hon. W. A. Branch, was also renominated m the First District at Greenville on the first ballot. Democracy is strict ly in the swim this year and will be sure to carry North Carolina. The attention of Ida Wells, the negro outrage monger, ought to be directed to the outrage of Bob Mad- kins, who met his death : by due process of law, and in public, at Graham in Alamance couuty, North Carolina. His crime was the usual JlXm J. a 1 L Kj L XX A O VULf LULU XJ. KJ vV711J. OOVU j and boldly added that he would not hesitate to repeat the offence if he got the chance. We venture to say that no instances like this were given at any of those enthusiastic meetings in England which Ida. Wells talks about. New York Sun. We call the attention of all Dem ocrats of Granville to the announce ment of Mr. E. C. Allen, of Tally Ho township, who seeks the nomination for Register of Deeds. He is a true Democrat, has never faltered in his faith, has ever been a hard workei in the ranks and we trust his claims will be duly considered by the con vention when it assembles, and should it see lit to nominate him we have no doubt friend Allen would poll a heavy vote. It would be a pleasure to us to support Mr. Allen or anj7 other good Democrat for of fice, but not a "mug" or copperhead. The leaders of the Thirdites are getting so rank for negro rule that a large number of the good men of the partv want to and are leaving then ranks. That's right, good true men; leave the miserable party thai wants to place you in the clutches of the negroes who are not able to gov ern themselves let alone the white people who are intended and will rule this country despite the efforts of the Republican party, aided bj such men as Archie Gregory & Co. The Democratic party is the only true party of the people of North Carolina, so come back and help to sustain a white man's government.

For sometime past notwithstand ing it was thought that most of the tobacco in the hands of farmers was sold, the Oxford tobacco market has been doing a larger business than usual for this season of the year and in fact has done a big business the whole year round, which shows what nigh prices and nard work will do. We have seen constantly in Oxford farmers with tobacco who formerly patronized other markets. These farmers, and among them were many very successful men and of the finest practical judgment, unhesitatingly pronounce Uxtord one or the best markets m the South for the sale of leaf tobacco. We are now proud of the Oxford tobacco market. It is undoubtedly a great advantage to the farmers to have such a market and they should encourage it hy bringing in their tobacco. It is to their interest to build up such a mar ket containing as it does some of tho most liberal warehousemen and buy ers anywhere to be found. The facilities of Oxford for han dling the crop of tobacco are strictly first-class. Here are warehousemen of experience who no.v have ample capital; practical warehousemen, who however much they may have been handicapped several years ago, on account of limited means have had for the past few years an abund ant supply of money. The Banking House of J. C. Cooper & Sons has ever been ready to supply all the currency needed for running our market and now we are to have an other bank after September 1st with another supply of money, so that Oxtord will assuredly enjoy hereaf ter, as she has for the past several years, the very best resources in the way of money for handling the crop at top-notch prices. We will probably run more ware houses than any town in the State and the men in charge of the ware houses understand their business, are good judges of tobacco, several of them having been growers of the weed, and understand it in all of its branches. The new firm of Lyon & Thomas Lrkl.l tli fnvt at tli Old Moarl- ows, and as tue proprietors, AaeK i , 1 i rr i Lyon and Pomp Thomas are favora bly known and all right. You may well bear in mind that they will get a liberal patronage and give good satisfaction. The Oxfoid tobacco buyers are not surpassed anywhere for liberality and pecuniary ability tor handling large quantities of tobacco. They will be equal to eyery emergency, and they are eager and anxious to buy large quantities of tobacco at its full market value. Oxford has long since become a steady, reliable mar ket, and consequently is not up one day and down the next, and has nat urally become the best market for brierht tobacco either in this State or Virginia the opinion of Brother Dibrell, of the Richmond Tobaccon- ist, who is fighting the interior mar- j kets, to the contrary notwithstand ing. Friend Dibrell in his eager ness to build up the Richmond mar ket is trying to make little of the old reliable market in North Carolina. We are glad to say that friend Dib rell, even with all his great knowl edge is not the only man that has the ability to write up and forward the interests of tobacco markets as we are still in the ring, and intend to see him out during the year. Let him fight for Richmond, which is his duty to do, and we shall be found guarding well the interest of Oxford. Our buyers already have large or ders and the tobacco sold on the Ox ford market is the kind sought for by large dealers and manufacturers who now appreciate the importance of the Oxford market. What we say is based I on facts, and the thousands of farm- ers who haye sold on our market for the past several years as a rule know the Oxford market is all o. k. and stand Al. We tell our large number of readers in all candor and sincerity to bear in mind the cele brated Oxford Tobacco Market when they have tobacco ready to sell, and desire kind and obliging treatment and the very highest market prices. We might write a column on such warehousemen as Bullock & Mitchell, Booth & Hunt, W. I. Wilkinson, R. F. Knott & Co., as well as our new firm, Messrs. Lyon & Thomas above referred to, but they need no special mention at our hands as they are so well known. Some of the new is already being sold on our market and prices are highly satisfactory. Oxford will be a winner on high averages this year. Suffered Five Years Cnred. Mr. Chas. Wallace, of Atlanta, Ga., suf fered five years with violent indigestion.

Perhaps the retirement of no man from the editorial chair in North Carolina would create such general regret among the intelligent readers of newspapers as that of Capt. S. A. Ashe. Prudent, able, discreet, cour ageous and patriotic his retirement is a loss that we do not think can be repaired. He retires with a record of which he may well feel proud. lhe absence ot Captain Ashe from the editorial fraternity will be felt all over the State, yet we hope that the Democratic party will in some way recognize his services to the party by confering on him an office of honor and emolument. He has made heavy sacrifices for his party and for principle. The newspaper will be well con ducted as it is in able hands, and we extend to all interested in it our best wishes. Its editorial staff are true and tried, and will reflect honor on themselves and will do so under the able and discreet man agement of Mr. Joserhus Daniels. who is a hustler and will do great work in the cause of Democracy. The new company formed to run the paper elected the following offi cers: Directors, J. N. Holden.N.B. Broughton, C. M. Busbeo, F. B. Arendell, W. N. Jones, R. T. Gray and John B. Kearney directors. The latter elected Josephus Daniels, Pres ident; J. N. Holding, Vice-President; II. W. Jackson, Secretary and Treas urer; F. B. Arendell, Business man ager; R. T. Gray, Attorney. The News and Observer appeared on last Sunday morning with Mr. Josephus Daniels managing editor, with Mr. W. E. Christian and Mr. Fred L. Merrett, two accomplished writers, as assistants. Mr. Daniels will not give up his important office at Wash ington. I) res Cutting.

Old Granville In commenting on Boys. t li a in on nrli r are to take charge of the new ware house in Kichmond by the name o "Stonewall" the Tobacconist has the following to say about two of our old boys: Mr. S. S. Berger, of Pittsylyania county, Va. the handsome famous and fat fellow that warehoused it so long in Danville, and then pioneer ed sales at Rocky Mount, N. C.,who then took in larger range in Rich mond, where he proposes to plant his banner, held up by L. E Cooper, whose red head is level and whose brain is branded with tobacco, and who has been so trained to manage ment of warehouses and leaf that lie would be miserable if living out of sight of a tobacco patch or pile. He was raised in Oxford, and that's enough for prestige and pedigree, lie belongs to the Cooper tobacco family the son of J. C.Cooper, the late banker at Oxford. His cousins and kin are numerous and well known. J. Colin Neal of Lunenburg, Va.; was four years4 the auctioneer of Henderson, and since leaving that market two years ago has added to his laurels as auctioneer in Rich mond, and he, like Mr. Cooper, leaves Shelburnc,s warehouse to join the new firm, to make up the fc to n e w a 1 1 w are house. Mr. K. II. Crews is a Granville county, N. C, man a drummer whom the planters trust in, ot sound judgment, and who never failed to satisfy them. He knows tobacco m the field, in the barn and on the floor. The ins and outs of the trade are familiar to him, and his acquaint ance with the trade and planter is widespread.
