The editor had the pleasure of grasping the hand of Mr. G. W. Stem, one of the young farmers of the Stem sectiou, in the Public Led ger office on Tuesday.

Carr After the Mortgage Law Not a , Democratic Lie. Attorney General Osborne and Mr. F. H. Busbee, who is associate coun sel, have drawn up the complaint and the summon for relief in the case of Elias Carr, citizen of North Caro lina, against Octavius Coke, Secre tary of State, in the matter of the mortgage law. The complaint sets forth the fact that the bill was never read three times in either branch of the Legislature, was never read at all in the Senate, and was tabled in the House. It therefore asks in view of the fact that the act is so clearly fraudulent that the Secretary of State do not permit it to be printed among the laws. The summons for relief is returnable be! ore Judge Starbuck during the next term of Wake Superior Court. Meanwhile, Secretary Coke is estopped from de livering a copy of the act to the pub lie printe. The measley, sickly black-hearted Douglassites charge the Democrats with the odium of sneaking the bill through, and have rolled it as a sweet morsel under their tongues, when in fact the members of their own party are the ones to blame. How could a handful of "Lieiag Demo crats" do so when every one of the officers in the Legislature were held bv Republicans, negroes and mem bers of the "noble orders" that Dr. Dalby said he contributed two years salary to send Third party gospel to the heathen. No doubt Second Me- siah Garrett and the Great and only Hewitt Jfclieks, of Vance, upon whose shoulders rest the destiny ot this great Republic, made many sacrifices in order to assist our noble rsig in iin" in his grand work.

While mysterious and intangible messengers of spring are proclaim ing the unfolding miracle of the earth's resurrection, in almost eyery church, from the imposing sanctuary to the unassuming chapel, voices and organ unite in preparation for ap propriate commemoration of the an niyersary of the risen Lord. Of the great annual festivals of the church, Easter takes precedence it is the heart of Christianity. Christ died and lives again; because He lives we shall live also it is a fitting service therefore to voice this glad and golden note of jubilant Christianity in the triumphant Alleluia and Te Deum.

As an editor who desires to see the prosperity of our town our joy is very great in speaking words of praise in regard to the Oxford tobac co market. Amid the general com plaint of hard times the Oxford mar ket stands forth as not only one of the best tobacco markets in North Carolina but has held up and com. paratively speaking stands A No. 1 as ail who are posted well know. Other markets have gone back but Oxford has increased. Bv deerrees is market has certainly come to e front with both feet nn. Th 'armers who are quick at finding out ! ivhere is the best place to sell their ;obacco have learned that the Oxford narket is the place, therefore tobac co is rolling in from every direction, and the farmers are constantly made nappy Dy getting the highest market prices, therefore tobacco is looking on account of the crop proviner shorter than was anticipated. There now not much tobacco in the conn- try, and buyers are eager to get hold what is lert at erood prices. To our farmer friends we would say that vou are hesitatinsr as to where to sell your tobacco, hesitate no longer. ome right along with it to the Ox ford market, but most of you know this already so bring it along, It having been developed that tho crop ot 1894 is much shorter than was expected it is believed that the large orders on the different markets tor an grades ot tobacco are much greater than the supply owing to the fact that onlv a small auantitv re mains in the hands of the producer.

She was in our town on a shopping tour and we are pleased to learn that her mother and father, Mr, and Mrs. R. T. Winaton, who have been on the sick list, were greatly improved. If you want cheap goods of all kinds, at bed roak prices, go to L. E. Wright's New Brands of Cigars. Mr. E. C. Hackney, of the Mai lory Cheroot Co., was in Oxford on Friday, with a nice line of cigars put up bv this, company. Among the new choice brands just out are 'Buck Blackwell" and "Jule Carr," and will no doubt prove as popular as the liberal founders of Durham, as tney are nrst-ciass good in every respect and we predict a heavy de mand for these already popular brands ot cigars. It will be seen by an advertisement elsewhere that they are on sale in Oxford by several o'f our firms, and we a i vise all lovers of a good smoke to try them. Those who never read the advertise ments in their newspapers miss more than they presume Jonathan Kenison, of Bolan, Worth Co., Iowa, who had been troubled with rheumatism is his back, arms and shoulders, read an item In his papor about how a prominent German cit izen of Ft. viadiaon had been cured. He procured the same medicine , and to use his own words; "It cured me right up." He also says : A neighbor and his wife were both sick in bed with rheumatism. Their boy was over to my house and said thev were so bad that he had to do the cookiug. I told him of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and how it had cured me; he procured a bottle of it and it cured them up in a week. 50 cent bottles for sale by J. G. Hall.

Out of the 36, new magistrates appointed by the Douglass Associa tion in Raleigh for Granville only four had qualified up to Saturday, and they cannot hold office as they failed to qualified on the first of April. Well, this is good as we did not need any more men of a Judicial turn of mind in Granville, as we al ready had enough magistrates. Quite a number of the "noble order" will fail to get a crumb from the "pie counter." Since the above was in type the Attorney General has decided that the new magistrates can qualify at any reasonable time after the first of April and hence they can go ahead and qualify. Dr. J. E.

Tribute of Respect. In Granyille county, near Tar River, March 29 tb, 1895, the Messen ger Death came in our midst and summoned our esteemed neighbor and friend, Willie T. Allen, son of W. T. Allen, Esq., to his home above after a long and lingering disease which was borne with patience and Christian fortitude. He was always a delecate boy, but God in his wiss dom saw fit to let him live with his loved ones 21 years and 3 days. The summons came not as the "midnight cry" to the "foolish vir gin" for in the morning of life the preparation was made to meet his God in peace. He was a member of the Presbyterian church. With all the tender and loving care from father, sister and friends as well as medical skill did not inspire him with hope of recovery. Through many weary weeks his sufferings were borne with a degree of patience and resignation that was pleasant to witness. Graces vouchsafed to those only who have faith in God. and who shall be heirs of the kingdom. Father and sisters though the pet of the household is gone and you miss him at home God knows best. Think of him now, not the mortal part that rest in the narrow house, but think of him as an angel of light as the redeemed of the Lord where there is no more death, neither sorrowing nor crying in the house of many Mansions. The city that hath no need of the sun, neither the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God doth heighten it. Mourn not, but prepare to meet the loved one that is not lost but gone on before to join his mother, sister and brother. A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is still; A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled. God in his wisdom has recalled, The boon Mis love has given, And though the body slumbers The soul is safe in Heaven. here Itsh on human, mange on horses, dogs and all stock cured In 30 minutes by Woolford's Sanitary Lotion.
