One day last week Mr. S. V. Ellis killed a wild turkey gobbler that weighed 20 pounds. It is stated that the Fusionist are to have a daily paper in Raleigh. It is said that Maryann Butler is to edit the paper. By a decision in the Supreme Court in the case of Harris vs Car rington from Granville, a new trial is granted. There were three cases of deliri um, tremens in Rutherfordton last week, which the Democrat considers a pretty tough record. First boy "Is your pop in poli tics now?" Second boy Nope. He is floun dering around in Democratic soup." Married, at the residence of S. F. Coley, Nov. 20th JS94, by Rev V. A. Sharp, Mr. Robert J. Stem to Miss Lena H. Coley, all of Granville. On next Sunday a protracted meeting will begin at the Baptist Church. Rev. J. E. Hutson, an Evangelist, and a strong preacher will do the 'preaching. Messrs. Bowman Bios, of Rich mond, Va. have arrived with their stock of fine horses. Get your mon ey ready and reap the benefit of great bargains in horse flesh. The average cost of election con tests before Congress is $G,000 each. Up to this time there are 27 of these contests stated, making the yery comfortable sum of $135,000. The Thirdites in Warden county voted for a negro on the fusion tick et who at one time had to leave the State on account of stealing. This is swallowing Republicanism with a black vengeance. Mrs. Fannie Spicer, wife of Mr. J. T. Spicer, an employee of the Southern Railroad, with headquar. ters at Stovall, died at that place on Saturday night." Her remains were taked to University Station on Mon day for interment. The late Republican victory is so complete that it can only be com pared with great Democratic victo ries. In 1S90 there were elected to Congress 237 Democrats, 87 Republi cans and 8 Pops, giving the Demo crats a majority over all of 142. Chief Renn has macadamized in a splendid manner the rough place on College street in front of the res idence ot' Mr. A Crews. We would be glad to see him turn his attention to some of the miserable places in some of the sidewalks which show themselves in bad weather. The Raleigh News & Observer has found a little 2-year-old daugh ter of a ri"h New York, living with an old negress in Oberlin, a negro settlement near Raleigh. She has been there six weeks. The parents have separated. The courts will de cide to which one she must go. Ex-Coneressman John Brower is an avowed candidate for the United States Senate. There are now ten candidates who can come out of the woods and show themselves, and no doubt others are concealed in the shrubbery. These are Reps. Only two Pops, Maryann Butler and W. A. Guthrie. The public school in charge of Miss Lela Routon is now open in the school building near Rev. J. A. Hardaway's residence, and should be well attended. When a school is free and under such excellent man agement it should be well patron ized. When the number of pupils is too large for one teacher a thor oughly competent assistant will be employed. Don't forget to call on the la dies of the Boys Building of the Or phan Asylum, who will serye lunch eon at Young Men's Christian Asso ciation Rooms next Tuesday of Court week, from 11 a. m. to 3 p. m. also supper that nierht. Fresh Oys ters and other tempting delicacies, will be served by fair hands. Every body give the noble ladies a good patronage as the proceeds will go to benefit said building. a L. E. Wright is selling small size Kid Gloves at 25cts, suitable for small ladies and Misses. novlG. Mr. W. H. Daniel, of Salem, Tuesday placed on our table some of the finest turnips we have seen this year. Mr. F. W. Hancock now has at his home a bouncing boy to join with his sweet little girl in making home happy. Senator Ransom was thrown from his buggy by a runaway horse near Weldon Tuesday and hurt his right foot badly. The Sheriff of Jones county who had just been re-elected, securing a larger vote than any one on the tick et, died last week. During the week the turkey market has been quite brisk as our people are preparing for Thanksgiv ing on Thurday the 29th. A. Conan Doyle, when he said that he did not understand woman prob ably never thought that the majori ty of mankind would arise and say "ditto!" Dr. S. D. Booth, the able physi cian, had to keep in door Tuesday on account of sickness, but his patients were in good hands that of Dr. T. L. Booth, who is skilled in his profes sion. The Revenue men made a good size haul near Durham a few days ago. They captured 135 gallon still, 2G stands of beer and large amount of meal and low wines. No arrests were made. Mr. J. R. Buchanan asks us state that it is a mistakeabout his vot ing for the colored men for the Leg islature on the Republican ticket. We got our information from one of the pollholders of his precinct. Remember that Miss Sadia Whit- fold, who stands high in her profes sion, supported by a splendid com pany, will appear at the Opera House Monday and Tuesday night. Re served seats at Kronheimer's store. See advertisement. Granville Superior Court will convene on Monday with Judge Hoke presiding. He is recognised as one of the best J udges on the Superior Court bench, and we predict will de spatch the business of the court with his usual fairness and ability. L. E, Wright has this day bought out the entire line of Arm strong Cater, and Co's drummer's samples of new and latest styles of Millinery at reduced prices, and can now sell you Ladies and Misses stylish hats at low prices. nov.lG. The teacher of one of our pub lic schools asked one of the pupils who was the greatest orator in histo ry, to which he responded "Messi ah Garrett." Well, now who is the greatest writer. The boy scratched his head and said "Why Billy Brown in course." Mr. W. H. Green, of Dexter, who is now a resident of Granville has been appointed by Superior Court Clerk Bobbitt, a magistrate in Salem Township, vice Mr. Charles F. Crews, resigned. We gladly wel come Mr. Green back to his native soil. We had the pleasure of meet ing him in our office Saturday. Mr. Billy Brown's Granville Re former is no more. It suspended last week along with several others of like character in the State. It per formed its mission and has been con signed to the newspaper grave a place that the Public Ledger has no desire to enter, and we trust the peo ple of Oxford and Granville county will rallj" to our support less we too may fall by the wayside. Will you do it is the important question ? A quiet marriage took place at the residence of Mrs. Bettie Cun ningham, on Church street, Greens boro, Nov. 15, at 7 o'clock. The contracting paities were Col. W. H. Osborn and Miss Elizabeth Caroline Cunningham. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. Henry Smith, D. D. Only the members of the fam ily were present. Immediately after the ceremony the happy couple left on the Southbound train for Atlanta and from there they will go North. The bride is one of Greensboro's most charming young women, and has a host of friends who wish her a long and happy life. President Cleveland is suffering with a sprained ankle. Boyd's Minstrels held the boards at the Opera House Friday night, and delighted our people with a splendid performance. The Primrose quar tette was superb, and the contortion ist, Daventry was one of the best in his line ever appeared before an Ox ford audience. All Duray as a trapese performer captured the au dience and received rounds of ap plause. All in all it a good company and deserves well at the hands of the fun loving public. Durham is forging ahead. A Chamber of Commerce has been or ganized, and will raise $10,000 in or der to get Northern Capitalists to in vest $40,000 in establishing a shoe factory in that town. We predict that Durham will become the great est manufacturing town in North Carolina. Let the people of Oxford and Granville county pull them selves together and join the proces sion of prosperity that is beginning to march through the South "United we stand, divided we fall." The question now is, will you sit down and cry hard times and allow the band wagon to pass us by with muffled drum. A VALUBLE BOOK. By Judge Robert W. Winston, of Ox ford. No field of knowledge that touches so intimately the daily transactions of men is so little explored or under stood by the people generally as that of law. This is to be lamented. Es pecially by the legal profession, for no one values legal advice so highly as he who has some knowledge of the law. It is no more possible for every man to be his own lawyer than it is for every man to be his own preach er, doctor, tailor and carpenter; still it is eminently proper that every one should have such a general knowl edge of the laws governing his every day transactions, that he may know when to seek legal advice, ana avoid as far as may be the penalties of the law. There has just been published an entertaining and instructive little volume by our talented townsman, Judge Robert W. Winston, entitled "Talks about Law." It is just what its title indicates. In a plain, easy, conversation style the author has treated of those branches of the law that touch the eyery day dealings of men. It is written for the people and is within the grasp of the erreat mas- ses. xne oook is not tecnmcai, or exhaustive, but is accurate and thor ough, and comprises a world of use ful knowledge in a very small space. enough is said and not too much. Every layman who reads it will think of something he has done that he will not do again, and something he has left undone that he will certainly do in the future. The author has given few forn s. Forms are dangerous things even for a lawyer, and for the average man of business they are little bet ter than pitfalls. The book should be read and stud ied by every one wishing to be a good citizen and attend to his own affairs intelligently. Such a book is especially useful since there are so few ways for the people to gain a proper knowledge of the civil law. With the criminal law it is different; four times a year a judge learned in the law charges the grand jury, and whosoever will may hear the crimi nal law of the land laid down. But the civil law he must leafti as best he can. Experience is always the best teacher, but while it is always ex pensive, it is especially so in law. While the book was written for the people still any lawyer may read it with pleasure and profit. Alex. F. Feild. Bncklen'H Arnica Salve.

Miss Lulie Harper, of Warren ton, spent two days in Oxford with her brother, Mr. E, W.Harper, fore man of Public Ledger, this week. The many friends of Willie White were glad to meet him in Ox ford once more. He has just re turned from the United States army, and is looking well. Mr. Mason, the editor of the Western Tobacco Journal, Cincinna ti, Ohio, was on our big breaks Tues day and found that Oxford was a real liye and hustling tobacco mar ket. We have a new tobacco buyer on our market in the person of Mr. G. W. Martin, of Durham. We feel sure the boys will treat him right and make him assist in .paying the highest market prices for all grades of tobacco. Mr. Lee Meadows, who enlisted in the United States Army is at home on a three months furlough. We are glad to see him looking so well. He met with a good old hearty wel come from his friends. He reports that our young friend Ed White is flourishing like a green bay tree and is as happy as a lark. On Tuesday a large number of our progressive farmers were in Ox ford and we shook a large number of them by the hand. Those who dropped in to see us were , Messrs S A. Fleming, of Hester, W.-A. Par- ham, of Watkins, C. R. Lewis, of Dean, Joe B. Parham, of Salem. J T. C. Norwood, of Stovall, and W O. Bobbitt and J. I. Gordon,of Fish ing Creek. . - Thorongtibred rnro-Jersey Piss. A good breed naturally turns what is good for it to profit and keeps it nature is for it. A pig cannot help but be honest if well bred.

Death Invades two Homes and Take Away Loved Ones. It is to us a matter of regret to re cord the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Philpott, who passed into the better land on Friday evening last. She lived at the home near Oxford of the late Sheriff Philpott, who was her husband, at whose home when he was sheriff of the county her hus- and entertained many of his friends. S nee his death she has led a very quiet life at the old homestead, be- g a woman of modest disposition and gentle nature. She was sixty- ve years of age and her death is greatly regretted by many sorrowing riends. She was a faithful mfimhar of the Presbyterian Church. We offer our condolence to her deeply istressed family in this the hour ot th eir deep affliction. The funeral services over her re mains were conducted by Rev. J. E. Thaeker at the Presbyterian Church in a solemn and impressive manner on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, a fter which all that was mortal of er was laid beneath the sod in Elm- wood Cemetery. DEATH OF MR. FLOYD WRIGHT. Again it is our painful duty to re cord the death of another citizen of Granville connty, Mr. Floyd Wright, who was the father of Mr. Lester E. Wright, of Oxford. The deceased was a quiet, pleasant and kind-hear ed man, who was much esteemed by his neighbors and enjoyed their re- pect and confldence. He was a far mer and lived near Providence, on the Oxford & Clarksville railroad. He was in his usual health on Satur day, and was on the streets of Ox ford with apparently as much pros- pect,of long life as one GG years of age could reasonably expect. He went home as usual and appa rently in good health, but alas ! the messenger of death had singled him out as a victim and consequently he died suddenly Saturday night. His distressed family have our heartfelt sympathies. Peace to his ashes. You Van he Cured.

The Rev. Dr. W. E. Hall, of New York preached and lectured to the delight of large Oxford audiences Sunday moining and night, and also Monday night last. , His sermon Sunday morning at the ' Methodist church on the text, "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and Forever," has rarely been sur passed in beautiful imagry, descrip tive I oarer and forcible thought. His lecture on the "Mistakes of Ingersoll" in the Opera House Sun day night was beautiful, logical, and convincing. The large audience was highly entertained. He also lectured Monday night "How to Get Married and Stay So." This lecture was brimful of fun and kept his audience laughing all the while. As a cartoonist Dr. Hall is rarely excelled. Throughout his lec tures, interpersed with rare fun, wit and humor, ran a golden thread strung with beads of diamonds. MsoIaUJy Pure A cream of tartar baking powder.
