Hicks, Esq., of Henderson, will address the Democratic Club of Salem Saturday night. Oct. 20th. Farmers are requested to read the advertisement of good land for sale by R. Y. Yarboro of Louisburg. Mrs. Thos. W. Winston had the misfortune to lose her splendid po ny last week. It died with the colic. It is said that a Third party ite drifts toward office as naturally as a puddle duck does toward a mud hole. We are sorry that we are forced this week to leave out several corres pondent, but they will appear in our next. You can save money by buying fine ladies and childrens shoes of L. E. Wright as he is overstocked with that kind. On Wednesday, W. O. Bobbitt, of Fishing Creek, W. W. Hart, of Oak Hill, and C. J. Adcock, of Be rea, were among the visitors to this office. Landis & Easton have just re ceived another lot of Jackets, Caps, and Cloaks. All their garments are perfect fitting ones and this lot ex cels them all. The members of the Lend a Hand Circle are requested te meet at the residence of Mrs. J. Y. Paris on Saturday October 27 at half-past three o'clock. Bear in mind that the county candidates and other prominent speakers will address the people at Berea Thursday, Nov. 1st, and at Oak Hill, Friday Nov. 2nd.

Jackson, keeps always on hand a fresh and choice assort ment of California fruits, along with an elegant assortment of confection aries. His store is headquarters for good things. Read his advertise ment. There lives in Granville county a father and daughter who only re side ten miles apart that have not seen each other since the war. The strange part of it is there is no es trangement in the family and the daughter says she would not know her father if she met him in the road. Our friend and townsman, W. A. Wilkinson, has entered the tobac co trade of the live town of Winston, and all business entrusted to his care will receive prompt attention. He is well and favorably known to our people and we bespeak for the firm a good trade from this section. Read advertisement in another col umn. We are glad to see that Mr. B. S. Robertson of the Holt Manufactu ring Co., in Alamance Co., who Mr. Josephus Daniel, in his resume of the politics in the Fifth District, put down as a protectionist and would vote for Settle is a mistake. Mr. Daniel says in the News & Observer that he will vote for Graham and that he voted two jTears ago for Wil liams. Every candidate on the Butler ticket in the Granville Reformer is blowed this week, by one man, judg ing from the way they read, and signed by different non de plumes. They are scattt rod over that sweet scented sheet like patent medicine advertisements. It would have been the right thing to have had two of them signed by Rev. William Roys ter and Bill Crews as they are doing the blating for the fusion part of the ticket. The Chapel Hill correspondent of the News and Observer, ot Oct. 22nd says: Mrs. Willie Watson died Saturday night, and will be buried today at Mt. Pleasant, one of her husband's churches. She was Miss Tazwell Parham, daughter of Mr. A C. Parham, of Oxford. Mr. Parham had paid frequent visits during her last sickness since July. She leaves one little girl four years old. She died peacefully. The comforts of the gospel which Mr. Watson has preached from the word to others are now his in hrt loneliness. Mr. J. Crawford Biggs is one of the marshals at the State Fair this week. Quite a number of our people are taking in the Fair. L. E. Wright has a competent milliner who has run a dress making and millinery store combined. She can advise you as to cutting and trimming dresses. Also trim you a neat, stylish hat; come in and give her a call. octl2-lm. The news from Graham isckeer ing and he will be elected. He com pletely annihilated Settle in the Re publican stronsrhold of Stokes coun ty and made scores of friends. Ho will certainly get a fine vote in old Stokes. Hurrah for Graham. Work Democrats! Died, at the home of his parents, Oct. 21st, 1S94, Caddie T. Wheeler, a little turned of 14 years. In his death his parents feel special be reavement, and call to us for special sympathy. He was converted and united with the church at Stem only about six weeks before his death, for which event he was ready. The canvass in Granville is pro gressing finely. During rhe past week Hon. Thos. Mason made two splendid speeches, one at Creedmoor and one at Knap of Reeds. Capt. S. A. Ashe, the old true blue Democrat, spoke at Stem and Tar River. He also spoke in Oxford Monday night to a most apdreciative audience. The gifted and talented young Tradegian, James Young, of Balti more, Md., who in a short time has become a great favorite with the peo ple, supported by a splendid com pany will produce "Richelieu" this, Thursday night, and "Hamlet" to morrow night, at the Opera House, to the great pleasure of our people. The revival at the Methodist church closed on Sunday. Quite a number of professions were made. Rev. J. B. Hurley was assisted by Reys. J. S. Hardaway and Ernest Thacker. One of the largest congre gations that ever assembled in the church Sunday night was present, and Rev. Rev. Ernest Thacker, the able pastor of the Presbyterian church, preached a grand sermon. The incendiaryism sown by the Populists is bearing fruit. In Pas quotank on Monday a Republican shot and serionsly wounded a Demo cratic registrar. The News and Ob server comments as follows: The shooting of the Democratic registrar in Pasquotank county is the legiti mate result of the incendiary advice given by the Caucasian, the Progres sive Farmer and the Winston Repub lican. They have sowed incendiary ism; they are now reaping blood. It seems that Butler's Second Messiah "Zackuel" Garrett, in Vance, was not a winner if he did come to lead the poor farmer into promised prosperity. Boss Butler ordered him to come off the Legislative tick et and the Messiah and his followers to be sure to vote for the negro for Register of Deeds. Well the clock has called time on the Messiah and the scent of Guano is now stifled in the land. May the great Messiah rest in peace and may the great whangdoodle not mourn lor the great loss it has sustained.. Com fort our friend John Morgan is all we implore. Rev. Leak, the colored preacher of Raleigh, orated at the Court House Tuesday night for co-operation. Wo wonder if he is not for fusion for Revenue only? He must be if he is a true Republican, and can afford to leave his flock at the mercy of the devil and go out at the order of Butler and ask the negroes to co-operate with the miserable sin ners who want to bankrupt and ruin this country for the sake of a few paltry dollars. Our friend Coley Gill was present and heartily ap plauded the Leake who we believe is making a hole in the campaign fund of the Third Party. Record of our Superior Court Judges.

How we Apples SwimLoaves and Fishes to Feed 5,000. On Thursday, the 11th inst., a meeting of the Alliance of Granville County was held at Sunset. It had been largely advertised, and was well known all over the county. It was to be an imposing affair. The faith ful were to be strengthened, and the doubting were to be made to doubt no more. All who were the least bit lukewarm among the faithful were to be presented with such a grand display of numbers and enthusiasm, that they would fall in line and shout, "great is the Third party County Al liance of Granville !" Now be it known that some short time previ ous an immense meeting had been called to meet at Dexter, and eata bles and delicacies had been prepar ed for the immense ciowd of tbe five thousand or more which was expect ed to attend. But on the time ap pointed, "the floods came, and the rain descended, and beat upon that to.vn,"and though "the supper was waiting, the bridegroom tarried and came not with his guests." Hence this occasion was to be a scene of such magnificence that all recollec tion of past experience was to be ob literated. The memorable day came. The sun shone in all his splendor. The winds sang a sweet cadence o'r the hills and da'es of Sunset. The birds sang their sweetest, and nature left nothing undone to make the occa--sion a grand success. The men who had the interest of the meeting at heart left nothing un done on their part. Everything to tempt thepalate of'man was prepar ed and in great abundance. Such men as Charles Traylor, who had not been known to carry as much as a pone of corn bread to church meet ings, revivals or associations in forty years, ransacked their larders and piepared their best viands. The day was at hand, and the feast ready. But the bridegroom tarried, and when he came, lo and behold! he had only twenty guests all told, and ex actly eight Alhancemen. fcadly and slowly, as o'er the grave of a lost hope, they held their services, Peace pronounced the benediction and they dispersed to their homes, sadder and sourer men. But our provident friend Traylor gathered of the frag ments two big baskets full. "And so mote it be." Thanks to the Ladies. We wish to acknowledge our thanks to the ladies who so kindly assisted us in decorating the stage, and furnishing ornaments to contrib ute to the success of the speaking of Senator Ransom. We need no testi monial, except the fact that it was so nice, that Senator Ransom expressed a desire that this tribute of the love and beauty of Oxford should be ex tended as a gift of those same offer ings to Mrs. Ransom. The flowers were expressed to Mrs. Ransom. Add our thanks. J. A. Renn, R. L. Bobbitt, J. M. Currin. Cure for Ileaflaclie.

We urge al who are aftlieted to procure a bottle, and give thii remedy a fair tri 1. In cases of ha bitual constipation Electric Bitters cures by giving the needed tone to the bowels, and few cases long resist the use of this medicine.1 Try it once. Large bottles only fifty cents at J. G. Hall's drag store Important to Registrars A recent opinion, from the Attor ney General of the State, to one of the citizens of Oxford, contains the following opinions, which Registrars will do well to note, and may be safely guided by: If the judgment in an infamous case reads "Guilty, judgment sus pended on payment of cost," the par ty may be safely registered. But if the sheriff was ordered to take the prisoner in custody until the costs were paid the party is disqual ified from voting. If a minor is convicted and sen tence passed he is disqualified from voting, as the mere fact that he was a minor does not alter the case in any particular. He is forever de barred from voting. The Discovery Saved His llfe. Mr. G. Caillouette, Druggist, Beavers ville, 111., says: "To Dr. King's JSiew Dis covery I owe mv life. Was taken with la grippe and tried all the physicians for miles about, but of no avail and was given up and told I could, not live. Having Dr King's New Discovery in my store I sent for a bottle and began its use and from the first dose began to get better, and after using three pottles was up and about again. It is worth its weight in gold. We won't keep store or house without it." Get a free trial at J. G. Hall's drug store. FOR SALE.

Fleming, Mrs. Theo dore Aiken, and Misses Kyle and Lillie Fleming and Miss Bettie Hes ter, of Lyons, were in Oxford Satur day on a regular shopping tour. Our sanctum was invaded Satur- by a bevy of most attractive maidens from Stems, in company with Mr. D. G. Bullock. They were Misses Lucy Ferrabow, Ada Bullock, Het tie Bullock, Rosa Bullock and Min nie Bullock. We do not believe any section in Granville can produce five handsomer young ladies than those that graced the Public Led ger office on Saturday. Again Mad-Poor Waller. John A. Waller could not get .the nomination for Senator from the Pops therefore he kicked out of har ness and declared himself an inde pendent candidate and went before a committee of Democrats and tried to get them to endorse him. The Dem ocrats could not see it and he is again mad. Johnnie wants office and he will ever be found kicking'if not put up for something. Probably Boss Butler has given him a sugar teat to suck in the way of a promise of something in future. The Pops ought to nurse the baby well as he is very cross and fretful and will be forever squaling if he is not well fed. Death of nr. N. E. Cannady. It is with sadness that we chroni cle the death of Mr. N. E. Cannady, of Brassfield township, which oe curred at his residence on Monday, 22nd inst. Mr. Cannady was about 83 years of age, and his death re sulted from general debility, caused more immediately by a fall. He was a man whom the people had trusted for half a century or more. He had been honored by ev ery office in the connty to which he aspired, and served in the Legisla ture one or more terms. He was a man of more than ordinary ability and his counsel was much sought by his friends and party. He was a safe advisor, a sound friend, an ear nest advocate of right, a great lead er, a good citizen and a loving and affectionate parent. Peace to his ashes. The good he has done will live after bim, and is a precious her itage to his many relatives. LANU.

Write again "Dan" we haye an "Ai ken" heart that loves to hear from that section one who has been over come by the sweet angelic smiles of one your enticing young ladies. We would like to hear also from "Good Times" at Dutchville, and "Hard Times" of Knap of Reeds again. On Tuesday, Oct. 1G, at 2:30 o'clock Mr. Robrt W. Clay, one of our best citizens and consecrated christians passed beneath the shadows from this veil of tears and world and mis ery to a world of happiness and bliss far above the skies where there is ho pain, no death, no farewell greet ings to our dear loved ones. He was taken sick about one month ago and summoned Dr. Morris, who call ed in Dr. Cannady, of Oxford. They held a consultation and decided that they would like for Mr. Clay to go to Raleigh for medical aid. Mr. Clay accompanied by his wife went to that city and remained several days and returned home to his many friends' and relatives no better. He contin ued to grow weaker and weaker until the afternoon of the lGth when he was summoned up higher and made stionger in Lord Jesus Christ by the faith that had sustained him many years. Surely this section has lost one of its best citizens, society one of its best supporters and his family a dear love one who has ever been a loving brother and consecrated hus band. All of his brothers and sisters were present at his death except one who resides in Texas. He leave two brothers and three sisters to mourn his death. They too are all t ravel ing onward to their home above where they can grasp the hand of their dear husband, brother, father and mother who have crossed over the river. His remains were deposi ted in the family burying ground the 17th to sleep the sleep of the righte ous until the resurrection mourn when he will arise in glory. Rev. J. S. Hardaway, assisted by Rev. J. A. Stradley, of Oxford, conducted the burial service in the presence of a large assembly of friends and rela tives. The following friends of the deceased acted as pall-bearers: J. F. Edwards and Willie Landis, of Ox ford, J. W. Daniel; of Clarksville, Va., C. P. Hester, M. E. Allen and T. J. Brummittof this section. We tender to the family of our deceased friend our heartfelt sympathy, and trust they may so live as to meet him again in a far brighter world this. Shoe Pegs. Butler has put up W. A.
