At a meeting of the Granville Grays, Dr. S. H. Cannady, was elec ted burereon or tnat uompanv m place of the lamentod Dr. Pat Booth. The doctor is a fine physician and will take a deep interest in the wel fare of the boys. Money is the hard cold stuff that the farmers work day and night to get, and when your pockets get light just load your wagon with tobacco and drive under the shed of the Minor warehouse and Knott & Cooper will see that you get big money for it. The editor had the great pleas- ure or entertaing seven or tne ex A . i J 1 cellent corps of correspondents of the Public Ledger at the Osborn House on Saturday last. We regret more were not present at the reun ion as was expected. We had a fine time, and Mrs. (Jsborn gave us a sumptuous dinner that would have done honor to any occasion. Our talented young friend, J. C. Biggs, was last week granted license to practice law by the Supreme court and has located among his own peo ple. He has thoroughly prepared himself, being a graduate of the Uni versity with distinction, and we do not hesitate to say that he is a young man or ability ana win duuu up a n i i j -ill " erood practice. See his card else- where. sr We have always naa quite a f our friend J. L. Ad- cock, or lar itiver, ana must say that we are more than regret to learn that he says he would vote for " Fair- cloth, Furches, or anybody else to beat a Democrat." We regret to learn this, and still belieye he would not vote to place the good people in Granville in the clutches ot the ne groes backed up by his unscrupulous bosses At the Minor Warehouse Knott tv cooper are regular wiuubis uu hicrh averages, and it is said when a erood sale is made for a farmer Sol. Cooper and Alf Hobgood congratu late each other. One will say "Gene Crews just lifted the weed up among the skvlights," while the other will exclaim "Old Gene just went down to the tap root of the boys pockets." This house is making some fine sales of tobacco. Try them with a load. Mr. Glaude Allen, Chairman of the Third partv Executive Commit tee, was in Oxford on Tuesday. He told us that he wanted it distinctly understood that he had "shed no tears in trying to get the Republi cans to fuse with the Third party." Said that we had done him an injus tice in saying that he had, and we cheerfully make the correction. We really hope he will not shed any tears on the 8th or 10th of November when he receives the news that Boss But ler and Fusion had gone glimmering prevailing all we are feeling Senator David B.

Elder Ballou will preach in the Opera House Saturday at 8 p. m. and Sundav at 3 p. m. and 8 p. m. bub jects: Prophecy and the second com- ing of Christ. Nat Woodlief , a leading Repub lican in Granville, says his party has not moved one jot from their faith, and that the Thirdites in com- incr to tne itepuoncan parry, nas or course embraced Republicanism, and are received witn open arms. i j i Mr. A.

The onlv show he has of being elected Treasurer is by negro votes, consequently he and Dalby should not eret so bilious about the poolholders. If justice is done both of them will be defeated. We learn from the News and Observer that on Monday, at Ridge wav. the little son and namesake of O W1 C J O IT was struck by a piece of failing tim ber.

Something Rotten in Denbark." it will he seen rrom our otem coi- respondent that all is not smoothe and serene m the I'op-Kep-Uamp. Some people must have been guiltv of some extremely dirty work, and as usual have proved to be traitors, and this time to one of their honored and esteemed members of the party. He is too honest to mingle with such unreliable and untrustworthy polit ical demagogues, as Peace, Dalby, Brown & Co. Keep your ears open and you will hear something "drap" in a few days that will show how rotten the Republican and Third party combine is, which carries with it fraud uponjthe taxpayers of Gran ville county. We wonder if the Granville Reformer, will find room in its columns to ten tne tale or a. 1 . 1 1 1 f . a woe " to the people he is trying to reform without first being reformed himself. Resolutions of Respect and thy. Sympa- Granville Gray's Armory, Oxford, N. C, Sept. 24, 1894 Our beloved surgeon Dr. Patrick Booth has been called to his reward. We mourn the loss of this just and good man. Faithful in the dis6harge of his official duties, kind and con siderate in his attentions to all who needed his services, with a gentle and sympathetic nature, he was uni versally popular.

Appreciating his genuine worth and desiring to pay a tribute to his memory, De it resolved 1st.

The dread reaper, death, again in vaded our midst on Sunday morn ing at 6 o'clock and claimed as its own the spirit of Mrs. C. J. Ward. In the death of Mrs. Ward the com munity has lost one of its sweetest and gentle women. She was a kind, devoted wife and idolized her too bright little girls. It is said none knew but to esteem and love her. She was really too unselfish to think or selt; too willing to render service and sacrificed. This good woman fell a victim to Typhoid fever.. In her home life she was gentle, kind and hospitable. "Here fresh flow ers strewed the narrow wav or lite. Here where the loving, cheering. comforting words dropped for the strengthening of the husband and training of the two bright little daughters, now left desolate, here where the kind administration, ad vice and prayers in faith have daily j r - n l j u il I nrklifiarl rr nftmtnri- on H nhoor fhnao y cm i- i i around her.

On Wednesday last Bill Crews, re turned from the Republican Sena torial Convention at Berea, and be ing asked if the Convention endorsed Dr. A. J. Dalby, said " no sir, we did not, we nominated him straight out." There is not much difference between the two men, except in color, as they both hold the same political views and if they are elected to the Legislature will vote to des troy our county government and place the white people at the mercy of negro rule in case Africo-Rep-Pop's get the Legislature. Death of a Bright Boy. Charley Brooks, the 11 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Brooks, was gathered to rest on Sundav rning last at 1 o'clock, lie had been in deci;ning health for some months, and his death was not un expected. He was exceedingly in telligent for his age, and consequent ly made many friends among the children as well as the grown peo ple. Charley was a favorite with the editor and naturally our warm est, heartfelt sympathies go out to the afflicted family in their great bereavement. The interment took place Sunday afternoon and Charley sweetly sleeps in Elm wood cemetary until the resurrection morn. "Ab the ewtet flower that scents the morn, But withers with the rising day So lovely was his dawn. So swiftly sped his life away. He died to sin, he died to cares Bat for a moment felt the rod.

"Well, Cyrus, you're about tne last one d expect of such a thing, but what is it!" "I have found that the heavy end or a matcn is Its light end," responded Uyrus with a grin that would . have adorned a skull. Mary looked disgusted, hut with an air of triumph quickly retorted, "I've got a discovery too, Cyrus. It was made by Dr, Ii. V. Fierce, and Is called a Uolden Medical Discovery.' It drives away blotches and pimples, purifies the blood, nes up the system and makes one feel brand new. Why, It cured Cousin Ben who had consumption and was almost re duced to a skeleton. Before his wife be gan to use it she was a pale, sickly thing, but look at her: she's rosy-cneekea ana healthy, and weighs 165 pounds. That, Cyrus, Is a discovery- that's worm men tioning."

World's Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, RETURN, OH WANDERERS ! Your friends in the Democratic Party Gladly Welcome you Back. I': is a settled fact that the Third party in Granville is on the wane as many of our good citizens who es poused the cause of that party 2 years ago are placing themselves on the side of a white man's government and against ignorant negro rule. Since the leaders of the Third party have forsaken the principles which they espoused three years ago and openly allied themselves with the Republicans for spoils only, the end of the party is at hand, as the people are fast finding out that they have been deceived and led astray by demagogues and the day of reckon ing is at hand. It is evident that fusion doesn't fuse and that the "sell out" has bro ken the back bone and destroyed the enthusiasm of the Third paryt. It has at last dawn upon many of them that they are being used as stepping stones to office by their designing leaders, and they are going to rebel. Many of them have already rebelled, and others are getting very luke warm. It is becomincr more and more evident to the honest men among them that they are in the wrong pew, and already they are be ginning to face about. We want to see all nnr o-nml Third Uartv friends back into nnr rants. and we unre them to lav aside their prejudices and come back.

H. Smith. A Request of Col. Marrell. Editor of the Observer In Col. Harrelfs reply to Mr. Galloway's inquiry, ne says tnat ms books i i i i " i i show how much was collected out of the World's Fair paity as Assem- bly fees and how applied. If his statement is true then the more than two hundred members of this party, who paid this fee to Col. llar- rell,call upon the auditing commit tee, Messrs. Denson, Noble and Howell to explain why they certify to the correctness as per books, vouchers, etc., of a report which does not mention one cent collected out of this party. Let him who doubts turn to report. The members of the the di World's pair r,artv paid the fee rect to Col. 11 arrell and not through any railroad. In the face of these facts it appears that Mr. Galloway's inquiry was not only not "malicious and misleading but eminently pertinent and proper. It behooves Col. Harrell to rise and explain to the members of his party who are directly interested and to the teach ers and friends of education through out North Carolina, who are indi rectly interested, No eyasions, no dodging, no bluff, no bluster, no ap plying harsh terms or epithets, but a simple straitforward, truthful statement of facts and figures that a plain, blunt man like myself can understand, is what is wanted.
