Board of County Commissioners met in Oxford on Monday, with all the excellent members present. There was nothing of importance outside of routine business, and allowing of claims against the county.

General Rufus Barringer, the great soldier, and most honored and beloved citizen is dead. He passed away on Sunday morning and the Charlotte Observer said his "House was indeed in order"' for the sum mons. Shame on the Pop that intro duced in the Legislature a bill to re peal the act of appropriating $10,000 to the Orphan Asylum. But we could not expect anything else from a Populist, who is a member of the "Third Party noble order." Deputy Marshal D. A. Moore, with assisants captured on Wednes day night Messrs P. Mangum and Tom Wilkinson, illicit distillers, near Culbreth. It is said they cut up Day's carriage in a terrible manner. Mangum is wanted at little Wash ington for distilling. Tobacco is all the go on the Oxford market, and is fatehing ratling good prices. We had first-class breaks Tuesday and Wednesday, Granville, Warren, and Vance counties being represented. Big averages will tell the tale, with live drummers, live warehousemen and flush buyers to whoop them. Mr. Henry Moor, who lives near Grissom, is no more. He died sud denly on Sunday last of heart dis ease in the 5Gth year of his age. He was returning from feeding his horse and fell to the ground before he reached the house. He was an old soldier, and a member of the Bap tist Church, and leaves a wife and 8 children. lioodooism. This is a good word to indicate the style of a man who follows a leader simply because he is boss, and re gardless of what the following im plies. And it belongs to the mem bers of the "noble order," now known as the Third party and "Re publican Aid Society." What Boss Butler for the time being blows through his little trumpet every Pop in the State immediately proceeds to echo, no matter how rediculous the sound or how glaringly out of tune with the airs he has just been playing. The hoodoos of the Third party do not need to think. It is simply their business to obey orders and they do it, wherever they may be, at chuich, on the road, in the field, on the warehouse floor, in a store, or at home as though bred to it,. Talk about ring rule, that of the Third party is equal 1o the old negro union league days. OXFORD, N. RECONSTRUCTION DAYS AQAIN. The old James I. Moore Reign Re peated by Another Jim. Well, citizens of Grunville, did you ever expect to. see the days of James I. Moore and Dick Jones' Radical rule in force in old Gran ville again ? If you had attended the term of Court just ended you would have seen this in full blast. No doubt you would have been greatly surprised to have seen two such worthies as J. T. Cozart . and Coley Gill in charge of a Court in your county. But seeing them you would not have been at all surprised to have seen the kind of talismen they sought to put on the jury last week. They proved themselves worthy successors of the bitterest, vilest rads who have ever disgraced our county. In every instance when called upon to summons talismen, they sought to fill the jury box with professional negro jury hangers that infest the bleaching boards. Some time, by accident, we suppose, they did get a few respectable white men on the panel. But the average citizen does not see why these "two of a kind," (as Col. Thos. B. Venable would say) should want such creatures on the jury. Well there may be more rea sons than one, and we infer from their conduct that they love dark ness rather than light in the jury box, as elsewhere, also that the odor of the African, especially when dilluded with musk, is more pleas ant to their alfactories and the non partizan judiciary, and that they naturally prefer that the cases of white men shall not be tried by juries of their peers, and last, but not least, the longer these "hangers" keep the juries "hung" the greater will be the fees of this delectable couple for waiting on them. It is reported that in one instance, that Mr. J. T. Cozart. not Sim, met a negro at the foot of the courthouse steps one day last week, who said to him : "Why don't you put me on the jury. a. I helped you out t" and he replied : "Go up stairs and take a seat on the left hand side of the room and I will," and in a short while he was on the jury of a non partisan Court, with friend Cozart running with a vengence the parti zan part of it- He proved a winner in this line. Now, white men of Granville, Populists and Democrats, what do you think of that? If this is the beginning of Radical rule among you, with an old line moss-back- deep dyed-in-the-wool-'old-fashioned reconstruction radikill master of ceremonies of the partizan part of our Courts, along with Maryann Butler's non-partizan judiciary, what may we expect when they get in full control ? We hear it reported on good au thority that the juries and last week's Court cost Granville county several hundred dollars more than for any other week in years past. Well the cohorts must be paid in some way, as they all could not get places in the Legislature. And this is but a sample of what we are to expect under the new order of things. To Relieve His Partner. One of the Black Diamonds of the Third party in the Legislature, Bill Crews, has introduced a bill to change the time of the settlement of his side partner, James Cozart for W. S. Cozart, Sheriff of Granville, ably supported by Snollygosters Coley Gill and Alphabet Tunstall, with the immaculate Rev. William Royster, who starves the prisoners in jail. They are all glitteiing gems in the galaxy of the Rep-Pop com bination. Gideon Wilson on Top. Apple Tree Gideon Band Snolly goster S. Otho Wilson no doubt has slicked up that beaver of his and is greatly elated at the news that his brother Reps appear to concede him to be a regular winner in the contest for the yacant Railway Commission ership. What S. Otho don't know about Gideon's Band and the "Noble order of Third Party" is not worth knowing. One thing he knows and that is he is 7 feet deep in the Re publican party. Got One at Last. The good people of lower Raleigh street have at last been provided with a lamp, and it has proved a blessing to them during the late muddy wave that passed over our town. Another lamp has been put up at the head of Rah igh street. Now if Chief Renn will work the sidewalk of lower Raleigh street he will really be a friend indeed, and will supply a long felt need. 0., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8,' 1895. POPS GRUriBLlNQ. AH the Spoilsmen Hail from Oxford Township Except One. It has leaked out that the Pops of the Wilton section are greatly cha grined that the bed rock section of Populism in Granville should be left shivering in the cold in the distribu tion of offices in the Legislature from Granville. They are mad because Oxford, as usual, captured all the plumbs in this line. Dr. Dalby, the ereat head of the Rep-Pop movement in this county, who was chosen Senator, is from Ox ford, and he had "my son Robert" appointed to a clerkship at $5.00 per day, and he is from Oxford. He had Billy Brown elected Enrolling Clerk at $5.00, and he is from Oxford. He also had Tazwell Taylor (col.) ap pointed a laborer at $2.50, and he is from Oxford, while Bill Crews, who was seated over A. A. Lyon, is also from Oxford. This was unfair treat ment to the Pops of Wilton, as it was the only precinct in the county that gave an increased majority over the vote of two years ago for the Pops, while every other precinct in the county noted a falling off, and yet in the face of all this Oxford through the influence of the allwise Dalby, captured all the plumbs given Gran ville in the Legislature, even putting in his son besides. Keep cool you Thirdites of Wilton; we told you that all Dalby wanted was the spoils and he is getting them, and you should not kick because you thought he was just the man to lead you into- prom ised prosperity, even if he had fool ed you about the great dividends you were to receive from your stock in the Farmers Alliance leaf warehouse and plug factory that was establish ed in Oxford. If he had done as wel by those enterprises as he did when running a warehouse in Durham sev eral years ago when he cleared $7,- 000 in one year, you would not have had to pull hard cold cash out of your pockets to make up a big defi ciency. We guess the scales are fall ing from your eyes now and you are beginning to see what the Public Ledger has told you all" along that the doctor was a demagogue of tha fiast water. But you must be as brave as "little tin soldiers" as it. is for the benefit, of the dear "noble Third party order." Sick Semper Tyrannis, take your heel off the neck of the office seekers in tne Pop ranks as they are in the black Republican soup. A Hawk Killed Himself. One day last week a large chicken hawk concluded he would have a good meal out of one of Mrs. R. J. Stem's rhickens. who lives near Stem. His bawkship got a eood opportunity and made for a chicten, which escaped under the house, while the hawk was goinc with such force that he went through the glass in tbe tront door and killed himself, He measured not quite 3 feet from tip to tip of wings. Death of E. C. flontague, Esq. Again It is our duty to record the death of an aged and worthy citizen of Granville. Mi. E. C. Montague, of Fishing Creek township, one of the leading men in that section, died on Monday evening last in the 68th year of his age. He was an earnest member of the Baptist church and took much interest in anything re lating to its advancement. He had during a long life held the confi dence of his neighbors and friends for sterling integrity and high Chris tian character. He neyer married but two of his sisteis lived with him and they were united together in the bonds of deepest affection. He was a useful citizen, was one of the best magistrates in the county, and one time served most acceptably as a County Commissioner. He possessed high moral courage and was firm in adhering to what he thought was right in matters of business, politics and religion. Yt he always treated those differing with him on these subjects with courtesy and in a spirit of amity. He comes of a large fam ily and we learn has a genealogical trace of his ancestry as far back as 1671. We sympathize with his rela tives in the loss they have sustained by his deaih.

It is our painful duty to announce to the world the death of this yener able minister of the gospel who in early life for many years was the be loved pastor of the Oxford Presby terian church which prospered under his ministration and during his pas torate he made mady friends. Dur ing a large part of his life he served faithfully and well other churches in the State. After a long absence from Oxford, a few years ago he re turned to this place among the dear friends of former years, with the view of opening a female school in which his wife was to be the chief instructress, as the infirmities of age were making some impress on his physical condition, having passed his three score years and ten. He however heard some of the impor tant classes of the school room with the zeal and energy of his younger days, for be it known he was not without experience as a teacher. He was well educated and knew well how to impart instruction in the school room as well as in the pulpit. The cause of the death of Mr. Faucette was attributable to an at tack of paralysis, which was princi pally at first on one side. This at the outset did not destroy his con sciousness or his ability to converse with his family and friends. His thoughts and conversation howeve were much of a religious bearing, and he was evidently prepared for whatever his Lord and Master might have in store for him as his faith was simple and strong in Jesus, whom he had faithfully served from early life until he had passed beyond three score years and ten. His chil dren were at his bedside in the su preme moment when his spirit left the body. His pastor, Rev. J. E Thacker, between whom and himself there was great brotherly love was attentive to him during his brief ill ness. Mr. Faucette stood high with everybody who knew him for his piety and blameless life, and he had a wide circle of friends and acquain tances. The funeral services were conducted at the Presbyterian church on Wednesday . morning, at 11 o'clock, by Mr. Thacker, by whom appropriate remarks were made not only by him but also by Rev R. I. Devin, a venerable minister of the Baptist church, who had been a life leng friend of the deceased, and also by Rev. J. B. Hurley, pastor of the Methodist church. Many of our readers will sorrow at the death of Mr. Faucette and we offer to his family words of sympa thy in this hour of their deep sorrow. The pall bearers were : Messrs J. P. Stedman, J. A. Webb, F. B. Wimbish, T. D. Clement, R. S. Usry, Capt. John A. Williams and Col. J. S. Amis. The interment took place in Elmwood cemetery. Struck a Bonanza.

Dr. S. A. Williams, a Populist member of the Legislature from Warren county, N. C, died in Rat eigh, of pneumonia on the 31st day of January, 1895. We hear from some of our older citizens that he was formerly a citizen of Oxford and for years was proprietor of the leading hotel of the town. While here he made many friends being a man of pleasant and agreeable man ners and much kindness of disposis tion. He was twice married. His first wife was Miss Anna Baker, the daughter of the late Judge Blake Baker, and his second wife was Miss Anna Edgerton, who is the sister of Ernest Edgerton, the leading clerk of Mr. J. S. Brown. By his first wife we learn he had only one child that died in early infancy. By his second wife we learn that he has six children, three of whom are boys and three are girls. It saddens many of his old friends in Granville to bear of his death. He was about 70 years of age. When he lived in Oxford we haye heard it said that he weighed over 300 pounds. He afterwards underwent a remarkable change in bis size of late years prob ably not weighing oyer 170 pounds. Mr. J. C. Outen, of Union, has a gourd which, by actual measure ment, holds one bushel and five pints. $1.00 PER ANNUM. ANOTHER TOBACCO MARKET. Virgilina's Tobacco Warehouse Opens up Auspiciously. Virgilixa, Va., Feb. 5th, '95. The Flag warehouse for the sale of leaf tobacco just completed by Mr. Peyton Puryear was formally opened today by Messrs. J. P. Rag land & Sons, formerly of the Sonth Boston market. A large quantity of tobacco came in although the weath er was very unfavorable for handling it. An immense crowd from both sides of the line for Virgilina as its name would indicate is partly in Virginia as well as North Carolina were present to see the enterptise launched. The following buyers from other markets were present : Messrs. W. L. Cooper, E. G. Ragland and E. R. Aiken, of Durham; W. A. Mills and George Thomas, of Roxboro; J. Hol land Cole and A. S. Hill, of Lynch burg; J. P. Loselace and W. W. Hill, of South Boston; H. A. Cobb, C. Richmond, Wm. Hazell, A. Croxton, N. T. Keeling and H. A. Crowder, of Danville. The prospects for the building up of a good little market here are very bright, as there is a good back coun try on all sides; and the proprietors of the warehouse are successful and experienced men. Several individuals full of corn juice indulged in fist fights after the sales were over to the great delight of the large crowd assembled. Hamptonian. It's a Curious Woman who can't have confidence In Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Here is a tonic for tired-out womanhood, a remedy for all its peculiar ills and ailments and if it doesn't help you, there's nothing to pay- What more can you ask for, in a medi cine? The "Prescription" will build up, strengthen, and Invigorate the entire fe male syBtem. It regulates and promotes all the proper functions, improves diges tion, enriches the blood, dispels aches and paias, brings refreshing sleep, and restores health and vigor. In -'female complaints" of every kind and in all chronic weaknesses and derangements, it's the only guaranteed remedy. If it doesn't benefit or cure, in the case of every tired-out or suffering woman, she'll have her money back. Nothing urged In its place by a dealer, though It may ba better for bim to sell, can be "just as good" for you to buy. Dr. Pierce's Pellets cure constipation, piles, biliousness, Indigestion and head aches. When will the Democratic Party Die? When the lion eats grass like an ox. And the fishing worm swallows the whale ; When terrapins knit woolen socks, And tbe haie ia outrun by tha snail, When serpents walk upright like men, And doodlebugs travel like frogs. When the grasshopper feeds on the hen And feathers are found on hogs. When Thomas cats swim in the air. And elephants roost upon trees, When insects in summer are rare, And snuff never makes people snee When fishes creep over dry land, And mules on velocipedes ride ; When foxes lay eggs in the sand, And women in dress take no pride ; When Dntchmen no longer beer drink, And girls get to preaching on time; When billy goats butt from the rear. And treason is no longer a crime ; When the humming bird brays like an ass. And limburger smells like cologne ; When plowshares are made out of glass, And the hearts of Carolinians of etone ; When ideas grow in populists beads, And wool on the hydraulic ram Then the Democratic party will be dend, And this country won't be worth a d n. Milton Times. Court Incident. One day last week Chief of Police Renn, who had been working on the Rock Crusher, and was rather black and dirty, walked up into the court room to take a view of the Republi can court. Mr. Coley Gill, a be witching specimen of the "refawn" kind, was acting as deputy sheriff, and remarked to the chief : "If you do not go out and wash your face you will be taken for a negro." To which the Chief replied : "That's all right Coley; I thought the only way I could get on a jury in this court was to come up with a black face !" BAKING POWDER.
