Durham Sun of Wednesday says: Mr. C. N. Lawrence, who-lives near Creedmoor, died last night at his residence about 11 o'clock, from pneumonia. He was sick only two or three days. He was 41 years of age. Some of the young people of the Southside enjoyed a most delightful picnic at Cannadys Mill on Monday.

Capt. R. H. Powell, the exceed ingly clever conductor on the O. & H. Railroad, who has been laid up in order to repair damages to his health on account of deep cold, we are glad to note resumed his duties on Monday. Granville Superior Court con venes next week with a small docket, but it is large enough to give the people another good taste of the non-partizan judiciary with black attachments if we have to judge by the last term. Hart Overton has so far cap tured the priso in producing the largest hen eerg, and now John Paris steps in and bears off the palm for the smallest hen egg we ever saw. It is about the size of a bluebird egg and weighs onestenth of an ounce. Rev. Joseph E. Smith, of Creed moor, is visiting his mother, Mrs. Ornn Smith, corner Bloodworth and Hargett streets. Mr. Smith preach ed an interesting sermon, at the Soldiers' Home Sunday afternoon and had a full attendance of the veterans together with others from the city.-- News and Observer. We had the pleasure of grasp ing the warm hands of pur fellow co-laborers in the newspaper business Messrs Thad Manning and D. E. Aycock, of Henderson, in Oxford Friday, along with the hustling warehousemen, Owen Davis and Sam Harris. No clever set of gen tlemen can be found anywhere. Mr. G. A.

He is prepared to do all kinds of upholstering in first-class style, repairing furniture, making tables, desk, etc. When you need anything in his line be sure to give him a trial. At the Commencement of Oak Ridge Institute, May 26, 27, and 28, President John C. Kilgo, of Trinity College, will preach the sermon, and Hon. E. W.

Thacker. Failed to Swallow the Black Pill. We had the pleasure a few days ago of meeting our old friend Ira Hart, of Vance Co., and since then we are greatly surprised to learn that he, a staunch reformer, be cause he could not swallow "me own dear Ephriam" at the late Douglas site election, was dethroned as a magistrate and a negro appointed. Well this is in full keeping with the policy of the leaders of the noble order now as they are plaj'ing for the negro vote and delighted to honor a negro who married a white wo man. flore Furniture and Better Furniture. It is a well established fact that everybody- who can takes a pleasure in having their homes comfortable, and there is nothing that adds more to it than nice furniture.

His stock is com plete and sold at bottom figures. If you want a baby carriage for your darling girl or boy he has them at different prices. Read his advertise ment elsewhere. Two Hearts Beat as One. Our most worthy townsman, Mr. Washington D. Lynch, was married on Wednesday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock, St. James' Church, Wilming ton, to Miss Alice, the charming daughter of Dr. T. B. Kingsbury, the scholarly editor of the Messenger. Misses Mary Lynch and Annie Booth and Col. W. B. Ballou, Major A. S. Hall and Capt. Willie Landis, of Ox ford, and Mr. John Thomas, of Hen derson, were among the waiters. Mr. and Mrs. Lynch will arrive in Oxford this Thursday afternoon via Henderson. Friday night the many young friends of the happy couple will give a German in Armory Hall in their honor which promises to be a bril liant affair. The many valuable present given the bride and groom are a tribute to the high esteem in which they are held in their respective towns. We extend congratulation with the hope that peace and happiness may be the crowning event of their wed ded life. Hunting's Circus. Friday our town was thronged with people from Granville and ad joining counties to take in the great show, which proved to be one of the best that ever put up a tent in Ox ford. The performing was of a high order and brought forth rounds of applause by the large audience on the completion of different feats in riding, trapese performing, &c. The man with his ruffled father hubbard on, better known as the clown, made some happy hits, and of course brought down the house. The French actor dropping backward 30 feet from a ladder, turning a somer sault, was something startling and thrilling. The horseback riding by Mr. and Mrs. Castello we believe cannot be equalled, while the flying trapese act by the Messrs. Hunting Bros, was of a most difficult nature, but the younger Hunting accom plished the great feat of turning a somersault in mid air and caught his brother's hands as he turned over. All the equipments of this most ex cellent show are first-class, and we must say thatjwe neyer saw a clean er, more genteel circus, as there were no faikirs to gull the people. The attachees were exceedingly gen tlemanly and certainly made a most favorable impression on our people, as their demeanor was so different from what we met with at the hands of former shows that have visited Oxford. Everybody we heard speak of the performance said it was one of the cleanest, best circuses they eyer attended. Now is Your Chance to Buy Shoes. Every lady who is anxious to buy a good as well as cheap shoe now has the. chance to select from 617 pairs of Ladies fine shoes left from the Landis stock, worth from $2 50 to $5 00, whicn will now be closed out at the enormously low price of $1 per pair.

C, FRIDAY, APRIL J 9, 1895. : The Soldier Boys of Hendersnn Show How to Entertain. We were invited to attend the 7th anniversary celebration of the or ganization of the Vance Guards and we were there. Upon arriving at the depot in Henderson we were placed in charge of a detail under command of Lieut. Smith and es corted to the armory where the thoughtful hospitality of the mem bers had provided breakfast for us. An hour or more was pleasantly spent in smoking and chatting, then the signal sounded to .form for our march to the scene "of action. All seemed eager to take their places in ranks and a nervier command never1 kept step to drum and fife. Down main street wa marched feeling proud of our uniform, on past the water tower, then across a field, when suddenly the enemy was scent ed. "Attention," called Lieut. Skin ner, which was repeated by Smith, the pet of the boys, and every man looked grave and silence was ob served. Down through the woods, over the velvety carpeting of pine straw, came the tramp of feet and clatter of drums, and the waves lashed the shores of Hardee's pond in unison with sighing trees above. "Halt" came down the lines and the thump of guns made he earth trem ble. - Dick Southerland, Henderson's honored Mayor, had preceded us and before "dismissed" had sounded he called out, "Glad to see you boys, make yourselves comfortable" and then gave his attention to the "bar becueing." Arms stacked and the boys made ready for sport. Boat riding, games, wrestling, target firing and other things were engaged in while the "barbecue" and fish fry materiali zed. The citizens of Henderson know what it means when the Vance Guards give a barbecue and the clergy, the doctors, the lawyers, the tobacconists, the merchants, the ed itors, Thad Manning, of the Gold Leaf, and John T. Britt, of the Pub lic Ledger, and many others took a day off to join the boys. Dinner came and with it about 200 as appreciative appetites as ever as sembled. The long table was laden with elegantly prepared substan tial, and such attentive waiters the soldier boys made, that one was obliged to enjoy his dinner. Prizes were offered for champion- eaters bouquets presented to the successful parties and the only reason that all of us were not winners is because of the limited supply of bouquets. After dinner we had target prac tice by the Vance Guards and Gran ville Grays the boys shot well when it is remembered they had so recent ly contended for first distinction in the eating match. Target practice oyer with preparations were made to return to town, and before leaving the grounds a splendidly prepared lunch was served. To maintain any thing like silence in ranks on the march to town was impossible, our boys had been royally treated and they were obliged to talk about it. We reached the armory where an1, other evidence of hospitable kind ness awaited us and which we en joyed. Enthusiastic cheers were given the officers and members of the Vanee Guards and many were the expressions of pleasure at being present on this memorable occasion. Henderson should be proud of her military and the county too, com manded by patriotic and efficient of ficers and composed of men who know their duty and do it, the Vance Guards is second to no company in the State Guard. Three cheers for the Vance Guards! Big Eater. A Prelly Face is the result of a healthy physical condi tion. "Beauty is but skin deep" yet it greatly depends on a clear complexioa, free from wrinkles and hollow cheeks. Health always brings wealth of beauty A healthy state of the system comes with Doctor Fierce's Favorite Prescription. It's a medicine prepared for woman's ail ments it cures those derangements and weaknesses which make woman's life miserable. A woman who neglects to take proper exercise is particularly prone to excessive congestion, debility and a sluggish circu lation. This is the time we advise the "Prescription." In all derangements ard displacements of the special organs which result in "signs of inflammation," in ca tarrhal discharges from the lining mem branes, and in distressing irregularities this medicine is guaranteed to cure, or the money will be returned. 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 papr about how a prominent German cit izen of Ft. Madison 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 they were so bad that he had to do the cooking. 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. Battleboro, N. C, Jan. 19, '94. Mr. F.

The editor was very sorry indeed that he happened to be out of the den of the "old Democratic Rattle Trap" Thursday, when the attrac tive and accomplished Miss Myrtle Peed, accompanied by our friend Mr. Jonn Waller, of Knap of Reeds, called to see us. If we did not have the pleasure of enjoying their com pany for a short time, nevertheless we appriciate the fact that they thought enouerh of the editor to nnv him a visit. , Town Politics. Town politics is warming up and the lines are being drawn by the ad herents of the two excellent gentle men, Major B. S. Royster, the pres ent efficient encumbent, and Mr. A. J. Feild, for Mayor of Oxford, So far very little has been said about commissioners. Let the Democratic Executive Com mittee pull itself together and call a regulai straightout from the shoul der Democratic Convention and let us boldly commence the fight now in order to redeem Granville county from the clutches of the Douglasites. We urge every Democrat in Oxford who has not registered to be sure to call on Mr. J. E. Howell at once and Register. Don't fail to at tend to this important matter. The Weary at Rest. We are called upon to chronicle the death of Mr. J. T. Strayhorn, which occurred at Roxboro Tuesday afternoon, after a long illness. He was a native of Hillsboro. A few years ago he was a citizen of Oxford with a bright promise before him as member of the legal profession. His health was feeble when he came to Oxford and for this reason he could not attend to his professional busi ness with the success which his tal ent justified. He was genial and pleasant in manner, obliging in disposition, was well versed in literature and of an intellectual cast of mind. It is no surprise to us that we heard of his death, as he was a victim of a seri ous lung trouble that defied the best medical skill. We tender our words of sympathy to his distressed and afflicted widow. Two Souls With but a Single Thought The Baptist Church, which has been most tastefully festooned with choice flowers, will be thronged with our people this Thursday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock to witness the link ing of "two souls with but a single thought" when the attractive and accomplished Miss Lonie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Currin, will be married by Rev. J. S. Hardaway to Rev. W. C. Tyree, the talented pas tor of First Baptist Church at Dur ham. A brilliant reception was tendered at the hospitable home of Mr. Currin on Wednesday evening. Those from a distance in attendance were Mr.B L. Tyree, and Misses Cora Tyree and Janie Averette. Immediately after the ceremony the newly wedded pair will take the 6:15 train for Durham where the la& dies of First Baptist Church, of which the groom is pastor, will give an informal reception from 9:30 to 12 p. m. in honor of the happy event. Our very best wishes go with Rev. and Mrs. W. C. Tyree through life, and when the journey is o'er may they be numbered with-the eyerlast ing throng that inhabit the bridal chamber of the House of Many Man sions. MUTUAL RESERVE FUND. Examiner Appleton's Report of the Standing of this Company. The report of the examination of the Mutual Reserve Fund Association by Ex aminer Appleton, of the New York De partment, has been made public, but a copy of it was received too late this week for careful reading. This much appears, however, that the association has $2,500, 000 of bond issues outstanding which it does not treat as a liability, and the exam iner calls the attention of the New York superintendent t, the fact that since the last examination in 1885, the aassociation has not mide the full reports demanded of them by law. On Dec. 31, 1893, it re ported death claims unadjusted and re sisted at about $850,000 when as a matter of fact there was $600,000 of death claims additional ot which they had received no tice, but no proofs in form. In 1894 these item9 had increased to $930,000with about $450,000 of notices unreported. Sharp at tention is also called to the fact that about $2,500 000 of mortuiry funds in hand had been used fur expenses since organiza tion, although in 1885 the examiner re commended the making of a rule prohib iting such use of mortuary funds. It also appears that, notwithstanding the reserve fund was intended to ultimately create old policies into paid-up insurance or de crease the rate upon them, steps were ta ken in 1893 to increase the rate upon these old policies. The tables for that purpose were made out and approved and ordered to be put into effect, but this ac tion was subsequently rescinded. There can be little doubt that such a step must sooner or later be taken or the association can not go on meeting its obligations. One-tenth of the death claims in the past ten years are reported as havine been com promised. The report is not as clear and satisfactory as might have been expected if Michael Shannon had lived. Superin tendent Pierce's presentation of it reads as if he wanted to say as little as possible and make that little as little understood as possib e Insurance Herald.

He was at once carried home and a physician sum moned, and everything possible was done to relieve the little fellow. He remained unconscious until about 1 o'clock Saturday morning, and the first words he uttered was "Papa, take my hat off my head it's too tight."
