J. Voorhees, one of the clever pas senger agents, was in our town Mon day looking after the interests of his road. Mr. John Meadows, who loves to hunt and fish, was linking down to it like a man a few mornings ago in his garden when four of his to bacco friends happened to pass by and all said, "whv, John, you can't find any bait on high land; you will have to get down in the bottom to lind worms.'1 The Democrats greatly enjoy the discomfiture of State Treasurer Worth, who had to "get off his high horse," in the matter of declining to pay the penitentiary warrants. His position was absolutely untenable, as he soon discovered, for the fusion ists who knew anything about law went back on him. A reporter is reliably informed that Rey. Dr. W. S.

Frazier, of Oak Hill township, came to Oxford Monday evening with a load of tobacco and put his horses in the stables at the warehouse and fed them leaving them all right. Next morning early he went to feed them and to his great astonishment found his best horse dead. Mr. Frazier thinks he must have dropped dead as the ani mal was nerfeetlv well the evening before.

The Baptist Church Thronged With Fair Women and Gallant Men. Doubtless they get up beautiful weddings elsewhere, but even stran gers acknowledge that Oxford church weddings generally have a charm and impressiveness that are seldom found elsewhere. This was illus trated on Thursday afternoon of the 18th inst. in the marriage ceremony of Miss Lonie, the accomplished and petite daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Currin, to Rev. W. C. Tyree, the beloved and talented pastor of the First Baptist church at Durham, at the Baptist church in Oxford. No marriage could haye been more im pressively celebrated and in the beauties of its accessories and all that goes to make such an occasion fascinating it has not been excelled by any wedding for a long time. There were many gathered outside to get a glimpse as she went in of the bride, who is universally esteemed. The galleries ot the church as well as the lower floor were crowded and the motion and flutter of hundreds of flower-decorated Easter hats and bonnets, with pretty and expectant faces beneath, made the body of the church even more attractive than the pulpit with its cluster of fra-grajit-scented flowers, lit up with soft, mellow lights, rendering the scene entrancing. The organ, presided over by Mrs. H. M. Lanier, at the approach of the wedding party, ushered forth m a sweet strain Mendelsohn's march, suggestive of the coming festivity. The bridal procession was first led by the ushers Capt. Willie Landis, Col. W. B. Ballou and Dr. F. W. Hancock, of Oxford, and Mr. Aver ett, of Danville, Va. The waiters were Miss Janie Averett, of Dan ville, Va., with Dr. J. P. Massey, of Richmond, Va.; Miss Carrie Hob good with W. D. Currin; Miss Nel lie Currin with Roy W. Hobgood; Miss Cora Tyree, of Durham, with Rev. E. B. Hatcher, of Richmond, Va. Miss Mary Currin, sister of the bride, was maid of honor, and Mr. B. L. Tyree, of Durham, brother of the groom, was best man. Miss Cur rin was given away by her fine-looking father. Rev. J. S. Hardaway performed the ceremony. After the marriage Rev. and Mrs. Tyree left for Durham wheie a re ception was tendered them the same evening by the ladies of the church of which the groom is pastor. The Durham Sun of Friday says the re ception tendered Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Tyree. last evening at the Baptist parsonage, by the members of his church was a most happy occasion, blended with all of the rosy dreams of love and appreciation for the es teemed couple. The parsonage was brilliantly il luminated anu handsomely decor ated. From 9.30 to quite 12 o'clock there was a continuous stream of our citizens going and coming, who tendered their congratulations upon such an auspicious marriage. The bride and groom never looked more happy, and they received their vis itors in the parlor, amid a decora tion of palms, ferns and lovely flow ers. J. J. Ward met the callers at the front door and ushered them into the fascinating surroundings, where Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Battle and Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Norton received them and introduced them to the bride and groom. They were then taken in charge by Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Cole, who usheied them into the dining room, where was spread a choice collation upon a uniquely ar ranged table. Here a coterie from some of Durham's fairest buds of womanhood, in a graceful manner, served chicken salad, pickles and other light viands with ice cream and cake. Mr. and Mrs. Tyree were the re cipients of a long list of beautiful, valuable and serviceable presents, attesting the. esteem in which they are held by their friends. The editor of the Sun witnessed the following in connection with the reception: A very laughable incident occur red the night the reception was given the First Baptist church pastor. Two married men, to be in fashion, de sired to wear ress coats, and they had but one coat between them. But they were both there, and they wore that same coat. One came out and met the other on the sidewalk, and under a tree, the eoming-away visi tor met the going visitor, and then and there they made an exchange, and that same dress coat went back again carrying in its arms the other married man who did not have it on when he started from home, and his plain coat encircled the other fellow as he went on home. Their wives were with them, and they laughed and laughed over the sidewalk toilet those married men made. We know this is so, because a Sun reporter passed along that way when it hap pened. Koxboro Bank Robbed. Roxboro, April 22. Between Sat urday afternoon and this morning the Farmers' Bank was robbed or all the money on hand. The robbers entered through a window, opened the safe, took 80 pounds ot silver, and greenbacks and then closed it as it had been. There is no clue what ever, but the general opinion is the work was done by some expert. Un fortuDately the safe did not have a time lock. DR. C. D. H FORT, DENTIST, wish es to rernlnl the people of Oxford and Granville county, that he is with them and will remain. Call and see him at his newly furnished rooms over the Bank ot Granville. . apizo. N. C, FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1895. ELEGANT GERHAN. Complimentary to fir. and Mrs. W. D. Lynch. The grand German Friday even ing last complimentary to Mr. W. D. Lynch and his accomplished bride, was an elegant affair in the history of social events in Oxford never to be forgotten. The groom is yery popular having lived here all his life, and his bride(nee Miss Alice Kingsbury) is the daugh ter of Dr. T. B. Kingsbury, editor in-chief of the Wilmington Messen ger, an eminent citizen of the State who has many devoted friends in Oxford. She too is well known to our people and greatly admired and esteemed for her many charms of person and manners, qualities in which she is rarely gifted. Of course therefore many not in the habit of attending Germans turned out to be present at this special German referred to given by the Friday Night German Club com- phmentary to the newly married couple. The ladies of Oxford attired in the best of taste and looking prettier, if possible, than ever, along with at tractive gems from other place, we opine never spent a happier evening nor has the Armory ever been graced by an assemblage of more beautiful ladies or more gallant gentlemen, all in the happiest mood and evidently enjoying to a marked degree the fes tivities of the evening. There was a large number of spec tators present. The following cou ples participated in the German to strains of splendid music furnished by the Raleigh band: J. Crawford Biggs leader, with Miss Mary E. Gregory, H. L. Skin ner with Miss Nannie Whitaker, E. R. Graves, of Richmond, with Miss Annis Hughes, C. H. Easton with ! Miss Annie Booth, Wade H. Britt with Miss Lucy Williams, Edward G. Landis with Miss Francis, H. G. Williams with Miss Essie Watts, of Portsmouth, Va., T. Lanier with Miss M. B. Gregory, C. J.

Taylor, C. L. Skin Skinner and J. B. Williams. Refuses to Take His Own Medicine. One of the old red-hot Thirdites of Fishing Creek talking to one of his neighbors in Oxford on Tuesday . said he could not lend money at 6 per cent.; that he would invest it in land rather than take that low rate of interest. His neighbor told bim he must be a "pretty fellow. Did not your fusion legislature pass that law and were you not in favor of it?" He answered "yes, but I will not lend out my money for that low per cent," and this man has money to lend out. Now isn't he a genuine reformer, in a pig's eye, with a stye over it? He is not willing to take the dose he helped to prepare for his neighbors under the guise of that great demagogic word "refawn." Quiet Home Wedding. The marriage bells continue to ring out in Granville as well as in Oxford. This time our young friend Mr. J. C. Satterwhite, of Satterwhite, weds Miss Sallie Hunt, one of the ad mirable young ladies of the Enon section who possesses many charms. The ceremony took place Wednes day afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home of Mr. R. P. Hunt, Rev. R. H. Marsh officiating, witnessed by many friends of the contracting parties. The attendants on this auspicious occasion were N. J. Puckett with Miss Addie Knott, Gus Hobgood with Miss .Lizzie Holloway, R. P. Hunt with Miss Lillie Puckett, M. S. Sat terwhite with Miss Nettie Hunt. Shortly after the nuptial the bri dal party left for the home of Mrs. E. F. Satterwhite, mother of the groom, where a reception was ten dered in honor of the joyful event. The supper was a sumptuous one and greatly enjoyed by all present. We extend our congratulation to Mr. and Mrs. Satterwhite with the hope that their wedded life will be one of peace, happiness and prosper ity. 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 paper abouc 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 w ere 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. Tube Rose Bulbs for sale by J. G.

The Democrats of Oxford held quite a large meeting in the court house on Monday night and renomi nated the present excellent Mayor and Board of Commissioners for the third time, which is a guarantee of their fidelity to the trust imposed in them by the people of Oxford. Dr. J. G. Hunt, chairman of the Executive Committee, called the meeting to order and J Crawford Biggs was called to the chair and H. M. Shaw and J. T. Britt were re quested to act as Secretaries. The temporary organization, on motion of W. M. Gulick, was made perma nent. Col. Bobbitt said that as this was a straight Democratic Convention, he did not want any kicking, as Ox ford was Democratic, and was "one State1' that could be carried. There was considerable interest manifested in the nomination of Mayor. J. C. Horner nominated both Major B, S. Royster and A. J. b end and then the balloting com menced. The result was, Major Royster received 87, A. J. Feild 47 and R. S. Usry 2. When the vote was announced, Mr. Feild arose and moved that the nomination of Major Royster be made unanimous, which was done with a whoop. On motion of Col. W. A. Bobbitt the old Board of Commissioners, composed of Dr. E. T. White, J. M. Currin, J. B. Booth, J. C. Horner, J. G. Hall, J. F. Edwards and W. L. Mitchell were unanimously nomi nated.
