Oxford is to be congratulated on the prospect of haying a song re cital at an early day from Prof. Vernon Darnell, who has recently returned from Europe. We would consider it a favor if any of our leaders would tell us of any friends who may visit them, or any thing that would tend to assist us in getting up a live local paper. Col. Henry Wilkinson calls us down on saviner that he was off the carpet, and says that he is as young and chippy as any or the boys ana never has been "off the carpet." Mr. J. A. Belcher, of Sunset paid the "old man" of the Public Ledger a short visit on Wednesday and said he could not do without his county paper and renewed his sub scription.

Mr. W. J. Badgett, of Sunset killed a few days ago 7 pigs that averaged 249 pounds a piece. "Old Rip" is certainly heeled tor meat this year, and well deserves it, as he is one of our warm hearted and noble farmers.

We welcome them to our town with the hope that they will find Oxford pleasant place to live.

He is an old Granville man, and we, of course, wish him un bounded success.

Mr. Job Osborn is now head quarters tor hne oysters, as he keeps on hand choice grades of delicious flavors. When you want a good stew or fry, or by the measure be sure and call on him in the old Banky Gee building and you will be eertain to get it. L. H. Strother, of Huntsville, Texas, is on a visit to his relatives in Granville. We are glad to learn that he is prospering in Texas, being oreman of a large tobacco factory. He is certainly well equipped for the position as he was raised up in a Factory. Mr. Thomas Reavis, who left Oxford about 35 years ago and made his home in Texas, visited Oxford ast weefc. it has been o years since he was here. He is a brother of Mr. George Reavis, and was on a visit to him. He clerked for Col. R. Mitchell when a boy. HE WAS NOT A WHIG. BECOHE EXCITED. Did Not Recognize Him. A so-called colored Republican poll tieian ot wranville, whose cranium is expansive with knowledge of the many achievements of the grand old party, did not even know who Jeter Pritchard was when it was announc cd a few days ago that he had been nominated by the Republican caucus for Senator when he voted for him for governor in 1888. The Republicans follow blindly their leaders, and as the Pops are a branch of said party they too follow ed Bellweather Butler and he landed them safe into the arms of Ephriam's great idol, the Republican party, that has so long oppressed the people. About the only thing the Demo cratic trimmers of the State can do now is to step in and organize the Fourth party as the crowd they have been quietly bucking up to for rev enue have become regular old negro loving Rep ablicans. They proved it a few days ago m the Legislature when they cast aside a faithful one leged Confederate Pop and put in t negro as assistant doorkeeper of the House. A black diamond is a glazed gem in tne eyes or tne average pops since they have changed their pants and become Republicans. Champion Horse Trader. Prof. W. H. P. Jenkins is not only a fine manager of schools but is gem on trading horses. As he rolled in town Monday, pulled by a nice looking horse, Mr. John Webb ban tered him for a trade, and was taken up at once, going it blind as the Pops did when thev followed Maryann into the Republican camp. Prof. Jenkins remarked "As there is no spoils in this deal John take the nag along home and bring yours up to Royster's stages as it is a trade sight unseen. "The boy claim that Mr. Webb cleaned the Professor up to the tune of $50, but neverthe less the genial Professor left for home as gay as a 16-year older, seemingly well pleased with his new horse, if a man did tell him he felt sure she would make the 15 miles to his house in 8 hour with careful driving. Political Record of the Courtly and Gracious" Col. Edwards, of Oxford. In the News and Observer of Jan uary 12th, under the head of "Per sonals," appeared the following: "Col. L. C Edwards, of Oxford, is here, courtly and gracious as ever. He is one of the old line Whigs, who, at the close of the war, allied them selves with the Republican party and have stucfe to it ever since. The colonel represents the colored Republican contestant from Gran ville, W. H. Crews, in the ease be- Fore the House committee on Privi- eges and Election." Referring to this, a correspondent from Oxford writes: "The writer of the above is cer tainly ignorant of the political ca reer or the "courtly ana gracious' Colonel. "I do not know what the politics of the Colonel was before and during the war, but afterwards he was known as a Democrat for several years. In 1870 he was a candidate for the Senate on the Democratic ticket for the district composed of Granville and Person, and his opponent on the Republican ticket was the iate R W, Lassiter, Sr., of Granville coun tv. On the face of the returns Las siter was elected by a large majori ty. His seat was contested by Col. Edwards, and in some way the Col onel succeeded in 'ousting' Lassiter. The Colonel was a member of the same Senate that impeached Gov. Holden (see report of impeachment trial), and I have heard that Gov. Holden remarked that he (Col Ed wards) was the bitterest partizan of the whole body. In 1882 the Colo nel was a candidate, on the Demo cratic side, for the nomination of Judge of the 5th Judicial District, but was deteated tor said nomina tion by Judge John A. Gilmer. A short while arterwards he was placed on the Liberal Coalition-Republican Mongrel ticket for Judge and made the race, though but short while before he had sought the nomination at the hands of the Dem ocrats. In said election he come within about fifty thousand votes of being elected. In , 1884 he was a candidate for Congress in the 5th district against James W. Reid and came within about 3.600 votes of being elected. After the Judicial Con vntion in 1882, no one knew his politics, he claiming no affiliation with any party and ever since then no one has known which party to place him with. Recently his polities has beensup posed to be 4 Anything to beat a Dem ocrat,' and now we understand he is a candidate for Railroad Commis sioner; we suppose on the 'non-par-tizan ticket.' Our colored Republican friend. W. H. Crews; Jr., contestant, vs A. A. Lyou, Democrat, is well represented, as the 'Courtly and Gracious Colo nel,' had so mueh success in the con test with R. W. Lassiter, Sr., in 1870 for a seat in the Senate." News & Observer. flOVEriENTS OF PEOPLE. and Oxford Tobacco Market On a Regular Hump. One day this week when our town was full of tobacco our buyers seemed unusually hungry for tobacco and put bids on each pile so rapidly at the first sale at the Minor that, the old stand by, Rufe Knott, got rattled. It is said he become so excited that he held up over a pile of $55 wrappers a handful of common fillers, singing out : "Yes, give him $25. 30 or 40. or anything along there."

The Third party leaders, as well as the rank and file of that party, had a great deal to say some three years ago about the Democrats al lowing the State Printer to receive $3,000 a year bonus out of the Pub lic Printing. The Democrats passed a la w at the last session of the Leg islature putting it out to the lowest bidder, cutting off the $3,000 bonus; and the work was well done. Now it is presto change as the Rep combination is on top, their Legisla ture has repealed that law and al low the old law to go into effect so Dictator Butler or some other good Republican can get the Public Print ing and enjoy the $3,000 of the peo ple's money without doing a lick of work. Of course, the "noble order" will now say it is all right as their leaders must get paid for dumping it into the Republican party. It has simply returned to its father's house. Pork for Sale.

We take it that our splendid ware housemen will let our farmers know what is going on through the colums of the Public Ledger, and hence we refrain from encroaching upon their prerogative, but will say that Booth & Hunt are in the procession and have an important message to the farmers in another column. They are hard to down in their efforts to satify their patrons. Seminary. J. G. Pittard, of Adoniram, an G. W. Gill, of Bullock, called to ser us on Wednesday. Mr. T. L.

He is the editor of the Caucasian, and President of the National Farmers' Alliance, and Chairman of the State Executive Chmmittee of the Populist party. Mr. Butler is a native of Samp son county, and was born in May, 1893. He graduated from the Uni versity in the class of 1895. He then taught school at Huntlev. Sampson county, and afterwards became editor of the Caucasian. He joined the farmer's Alliance when it was organized, and was President or the County Alliance.

If they will scan our columns they will see that but few houses are re presented. We are always for Ox ford and her tobacco market, believ ing that if we do all in our power to build up a tobacco market second to none in or out of the State, we most assuredly greatly aid all other branches of business in Oxford. By the business men taking a lively interest in their town paper they materally aid an enterprise that is always on the alert to push forward the interest of our people. Bring Your Tobacco to Oxford.
