S. Brown, the live grocer now has his own dray. Do your duty, corae to the polls and vote the straight Democratic ticket. Election day, Tuesday Novem ber (Jth. Vote for James A. Renn for Coroner. We call your special attention to several new legal ad vertisments in this issue. Prof. Dred Peacock has been elected President of Greensboro Fe male College. Mr. R. Broughton has opened up a Grocery Store at Scotts X Roads near Chase Chase City, a. Judge R. W. Winston has had his building on Hillsboro street known as the "Banky Gee" store re painted. A Mr. Duncan is quite sick at the Exchange Hotel. He is from near Berea and came to Oxford for treatment. The wifo of Congressman Fred A. WToodward, of the Second District died at Asheville a few days ago with consumption. A vote for C. F. Crews means a vote for honest government in the Register of Deeds office, and no Hughesism need apply. A vote for R. W. Lassiter for Treasurer on the Gth day of Novem ber is a vote for a man that will make Granville a splendid Treasu rer. On Sunday night a jail delivery took place at Roxboro. Among the number were Meadows and Robinson who murdered the jailor some months ago. Meadows gave himself up. From this time on every Demo ic voter in the county should devote his energies to getting out the vote on election day. With a full vote polled the whole ticket will be elected. You talk of stringency now and think you feel it. But it is freedom and health compared with what you may expect if you suffer Populism to bring you under the ban of the busi ness world. 12.000 people attended the State Fair on Thursday. The fair was the most successful held in the State for years. Col. J. S. Carr was re-elected President, and Hal Ayer, Secre tary. A winning team. Pops in Granville haye got out of "the middle of the road" as they could not raise anything there and were about to starve to death and are now grazing on Republican grass with a black sauce for flavor ing. Jackson's Confectionary and Fruit Store is now the center of at traction for all lovers of good things, Mr. Jackson is now agent for Ten ney's celebrated French Candies, which cannot bo excelled for flavor and excellence. Our townsman, James Rogers, who is in the United States Railway Service stood the Civil Service ex amination, a few days ago and walked off with 9G and consequently stepped upon the Special list. We congratulate him. The Reformer is just now en gaged in doing the whistling act, to keep up the courage of Rep-Pop can didates who have become very de spondent over capturing the Legis lature and stand shivering over the fate of Boss Butler and Jeter Pritch ard. S We thank Mrs. J. R. Walters, of Tar River for quite a curiosity in the shape of a gourd. It is small in circumference, is curled like a snake and reminds us just now of how the Third party is twisting and turning about trying to get the Republican vote. Billy Brown, of the Reformer seems to be excited. The prospects of Democratic success at the elect ion next week must have unsettled his nerves. All the same the candi dates of the g. o. p. will be snowed under and the more shrieking he does the deeper they will be buried. Sumac Archie Gregory in his speech at Tar River raised his one arm and said "Fellow citizens, I got one arm shot off in the war and be fore I would tell you the truth I would have this one shot off." He saw his mistake and corrected it, when several voices in the crowd said: "Don't change it! you hit it right!" Mr. W. F. Kornegay, of Golds- ijoto, President of the N. C. Rail- roon dropped dead in Church. He and his wife were attending a bible reading when he leaned on her shoulder aud suddenly expired, We can well say that one of the best men in the State has gone to his reward. We are under obligations to Mr. Joe Webb, the great furniture man of Oxford, for a bottle of Cedarine, a splendid polish, for furniture of all kinds, It removes grease, scratches, fly specks, etc., in fact will make old furniture new. It can be had of Mr, Webb at the low price 25 cents per bottle. The most important duty left for the Democratic voters of Granville county to perform is to make ar rangements for getting out the vote on election day. Three stay at homes in each precinct would mean the loss of more than 50 votes in the county. See that every Democrat comes out on election day. Our condidates spoke at Bullock on Monday, Stovall, Tuesday, and at Dexter Wednesday. A good at tendance of voters were at all these places, and much enthusiasm was exhibited. Major B. S. Royster, Capt. John A. Williams, T, M. Pitt man, of Henderson, Thornton La nier and J. C. Biggs all made good speeches. We have received an invitation to the marriage of our former greats ly esteemed townsman, Mr. Ernest R. Amis, on the Sth of November. He will wed Miss Gertrude R. Vaughn, one of Winston's accom plished young ladies. The ceremo ny will take place at 7 o'clock, p. m. in the Centenary Methedist Church at Winston, N. C. Chief Renn has discovered in the middle of the street, near the Hicks factory a splendid rock quarry, and has his force of hands now getting out rock. It is near the surface and easily gotten out, and will prove of great benefit to the town. The rock crusher will be put down at once to crush rock for the improve ment of our streets. Our old friend C. J. Gregory; who is well known in Granville, as hustler behind the counters of the former firm of Owen, Barbour and Smith, has turned up again and is now located with Mr. S. H. Smith, successor to the old firm, where he will be glad to serve all his old friends and new ones, in need of hardware, buggies, etc. The tail-twisters or Rep. Pops, see defeat awaiting them, and ad mit it as plainly as it is possible to do so, by their reckless use of the truth, charges of bribery, fraud, etc. The Republicans always did this the week preceding the election, before the advent of the Pops, and the married couple are but following in the old Republican ruts. They are only preparing to cry fraud and money after the election. If the farmers, laborers and tax payers generally, of Granville coun ty, have any interest in having Dem ocratic County Comissioners office run inan economical and business like manner they will go to the polls next Tuesday and deposit their ballots for A. A. Lyon and Waller L. Taylor, the Democratic candi dates for the Legislature. Both are capable of filling the position and will vote in the interests of the whole people. Ed. C, Harris, the Democratic candidate for Sheriff is upright in his character and his elevation to the office will be an assurance that the business of the office will be faithfully attended to. The at tacks made on him by a few of his enemies will have no effect on the general result. He is the man for the place and the voters of the county will honor him as well as themselves by rolling up a good round majority for him. nOVEHENTS OF PEOPLE.

Graham and Settle completed their canvass on Wednesday night at lleidsville. Gus Graham has made 1 splendid campaign and especially in the Western part of the district Tn every town and township we have assurances from the most in telligent and reliable of the party workers that everything would be well on election day if the Democrats will only work as they never did be fore from now until sun set Tuesday and victory will be ours. Plain Gus Graham made scores of friends wherever he spoke. It is said he literally took by storm Re publican Stokes county and cheer ing Democratic news come rolling down the mountains and hill sides, that it is now thought that Graham will carry the county. On the coun ty ticket all but two of the Third party candidates have withdrawn in favor of the Democrats, and it is be lieved they too will pull out. The candidates who came down say that the Populist party was getting too close to Republicans to suit them, and that the Republicans only want to use the Third party as tools to get in office. All this indicates a good feeling both for the party and Gus Graham and as a whole the outlook for Democratic success in the dis trict must in all fairness be regarded as most excellent. But in order to achieve the vie tory over Dodging Tommie the De mocracy not only all over the dis trict but especially in Granville should arouse and work as never before. We ask do you want this district represented again inCongress by Dodger Settle ? Do you want to swell the Republican high protec tionist vote in Congress ? Awake ! Democrats, the Republicans and Thirdites are not idle. They are not wanting in organization. They are not wanting in money or in aid from National headquarters and we warn you to look out and pull off your coat and say that Gus Graham shall be elected to Congress. L. E. Wright is selling grown ladies shoes at50cts., 75cts. and $1. A. A. a White cloth at G cents. Mens' Bay State Shoes just come in at $1, $1.35, $1.75, warranted, All wool dress goods at half price. octl2-lm. FOB SALE. I have two young muies, a good horse, fine cow, 2 horse wagon and harness and engine and boiler, which I am anxious to sell. B. S. ROYSTER, oct!9. Oxford, N. C. You can save money by buying fine ladies and childrens shoes of L. j E. Wright as he is overstocked with that kind. TO THE VOTERS Of the 17th Senatorial District of North Carolina. I adopt this method of announcing myself as the Democratic Nominee for a seat in the Senate of North Carolina from the above named Dis trict, composed of the counties of Granville and Person. 1 regret that the time is between the time of my nomination and the day ot election that it will be impossible for me to make a can yass of the District. It is due the voters of the Di to state to them that being only a farmer, I am inexperienced in politi cal life, but ever since I have been old enough to vote, 1 haye voted the uemocratic ticket, regarding as I do, the Democratic nartv n,s thn n.iK- one to which we can look for good government m either State or Na- A. " 1 if ionai airairs. Should I be elected. 1 will trv t-n serve the people of tho 17th S rial District to the best of my ability. L-it a rle s VV. Bryan. The Death of Capt. Chas. P. Powell. On Friday, Oct. 2Gth, at .'J.15 p. m. Capt. C. P. Powell breathed his Inst. For some months his health had been very poor, and had been grow ing steadily worse. During these months he had medical treatment. but nothing gave auy relief. At last about the middle of September he tell stricken with paraiysis. After this stroke he was confined to his bed, and on Friday last he died quiet ly without a struggle. Capt. Powell was a man of a warm and affectionate nature. He was specially fond of little children. Among the last things he noticed was his little grandson. Ho was a very generous and liberal man, and was an honest man and straightfor ward in his dealings. He was not a professor of religion, but God gave iiim long months to devote to his latter end; and that he did solemnly reflect upon it wre know, for he said to one triend, "God sends these suf ferings upon men to make them bet ter, doesn't he?" The friend said, "So we are taught in God's word." "1 believe it," he replied. To an other who urged him to pray he said, "I am praying all the time." To an other he said when he went to Rich mond to consult Dr. McGuite, "I am going because my family wish me to go; but doctors cannot do me any good." So we see that he knew that death was near, and that he had sol emn thoughts in regard to it. He was called to pass through great af fliction in the loss of children, and it was very noticeable to his family and friends that he was very much softentd and subdued by them. In his last sickness his sufferings were great, at times extreme, and he bore them with a quiet uncomplaining spirit. Not a word of murmur es caped him. He died in the fifty-third year of his age and leaves behind him his widow, a son, a daughter and two grandchildren to mourn their loss. A Friend. When Baby was ?U-1i, vo : ro ne.r isvfvVlu. When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria. When she had Children, she gave them Castoria. O'Hara in Oxford. The Populists persuade their de luded followers not to hear Demo cratic speeches. The Republicans on Wednesday night, crowded around the court house using eyery effort to prevent their ignorant followers from hearing O'Hara speak against fu sion, which proves without a shadow of doubt that, the combine of the Rep-Pops would trample under their feet with a remorseless conscience the freedom of speech and would de stroy the most sacred rights of the people for the sake of power, office and spoils. bwaer n JIbsolafely Pure A cream of tartar baking powder.
