The County Commissioners met last Monday with all the members present. There was nothing of great importance transacted, and only routine business attended to. Mr. Venable, a prominent buyer on the Wilson market, took in our immense break of tobacco Tuesday. He is quite a pleasant gentleman and we would be glad to claim him as "one of our regular buyers. Miss Holly Rogers, not only a prepossing young lady, but a fine to bacco farmer, was at the Meadows Warehouse Tuesday with a colorv load anp l-eceived good prices. She is one ot the tew ladies in the county that is recognized as a good farmer. One of the dear old landmarks of Brassfield township, Mrs. Julia Jenkins, the mother of 15 boys most of whom are living died Sat urday night at the advanced age of 82 years. Thus another noble chris tian woman has passed to the re ward that awaits the faithful, and is no doubt numbered with the saints around the Great White Throne. Could Not Stand It, A certain Judge holding court in a Western county was trying a man for larceny and must have had the Legislature on the brain at the time. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty and the Judge sentenced him to the Legislature for 12 months. The man arose and said: "Judge, please change the sentence to the penitentiary as that is a better place to go to than the last .Legislature. The Horner School. We are in receipt of an invitation from the Franklin Literary Society of the Horner Military School at Ox ford to attend the 44th annual com mencement Friday evening, May 31, at 8.30 o'clock.

The final address will be delivered by Mr. Jo sephus Daniels, editor of the News and Observer. Indignant People.

A most enjoyable German was giyen by the Friday German Club at Armory Hall on the evening of he 3d. Mr. "J. C. Biggs, the skillful leader, was particularly happy on this occasion in making popular leads. The music, which was fur nished by the Italian bank, of Ral eigh, was good and added much to the inspiration of the dance. The attendance was large and every one present entered thoroughly into the enjoyment of the evening. It was a subject of remark that there were not less than six beauties of State reputation present, yet in such a galaxy of beauty it would have been impossible to say which those six were. The following couples were present: Miss .Booth with B. Crump; Miss Whitaker, of Littleton, with J. C. Biggs; Miss Hughes with W. I. Skin ner, of Wilson; Miss Skinner with Rich'd Gregory; Miss W. Skinner with Dr. T. L. Booth; Miss Hughes, of Fayetteville, with M. M. Jordan; Miss Britt with H. L. Skinner; Miss Wyche,of Henderson, with M.

The senior class in Elocution from Francis Hilliard School, assisted by the classes in vocal music and in the Delsart system of expression, will present Lord Tennyson's poem, "The Princess," as dramatized by Miss Haughwout at the Opera House on Friday evening, May .10th. The play will include thedaint lyric inter ludes found in poem set to appros priate melodies by h llivan, Cowen, Tosti, and Barnby. General admis sion 25 cents. It will be a splendid entertainment, and we advise you to go and see it. The Grea Tobacco Market. You just ought to have been in Oxford and on the breaks Friday last. There was really a freshet of tobacco. Knott & Cooper, two of as good warehousemen as can be found on this terrestrial hemisphere, had bui't strong levees at the Minor to catch the most of it. But it was no go. The flood gates were opened by that great and good man, Gene Crews, about 9.30 and the mill com menced to grind and every one who had tobacco had almost as many of the silver wheels as could be looked for or wanted, and hurrahs for K. & C. was heard everywhere. During this time enough of the weed had passed K. & C.'s to com pletely drown out Lyon, Thomas & Co., a firm which probably has gain ed reputation more rapidly. for the last year than any ever associated together in Oxford for the purpose of handling the farmers' tobacco, and you might have seen tobacco in every nook and corner of the mam moth building. And then it was that the fun began in earnest Crews and Washington and Washington and Crews alternating; Gene and Tom and Tom and Gene until every pile in the old Meadows had been disposed of at even more than the most fastidious had anticipated. And we came to the conclusion if the firm was small of statue they had large, feeling hearts for the poor farmers and one could not do better than to sell with Lyon, Thomas & 'Co. The overflow was even so great at the Meadows that long before the mill had ceased to grind Bullock & Mitch ell were submerged with the golden weed as usual, and prices kept head up at every pile and grandma smiled. Going just across over to Booth & Blunt's we supposed we would find the freshet somewhat abated, but lo and behold they were inundated ir revocably by the Indian plant, not in its rude state but shining so brill iant and gold-like that we came near thinking they must be gold bugs it they did hand out the silver wheels as the old man would say. Booth & Hunt were the last bidding on many piles, going anywhere from two to sixty dollars per hundred, and it con tinued Gene and Tom and Tom and Gene until the floor was cleared. It was now growing late and we retired thorough the rear way in company with ex-Sheriff Crews and Wesley Y. Jones, Esq., and did not visit the Johnson. Will find out about Wil lie soon when visiting the city and you shall hear from him. We are expecting nothing less from him than a Johnstown. ljEOPOiiD. Cure for Headache. As a remedy for all forms of headache Electric Bitters has proved to be the very best. It effects a permanent cure and the most dreaded habitual sick headaches yield to its influence. We urge all who are afflicted to procure a bottle, and give thia remedy a fair trial, in cases ot ha bitual constipation Electric Bitters cures bv eivinsr the needed tone to the Dowels. and few cases long resist the use of this medicine. Try It once, .barge ootties only fifty cents at J . G. Hall's drug store SCUFFLETON ELECTION. A Close Contest and Great Excite ment. The inhabitants of Scuffleton were up by the time day broke on Mon day morning hard at work for the respective candidates for Mayor of that thriving suberb. The contest was between Dr. C. D. H. Fort, our excellent dentist, and Mr. A. A. Bryant, who for two years has held the scale of justice in his hand. He proved to be too sharp a worKer tor the tooth man, who holds a high place in the dentist world, but is nowhere in running for Mayor against a man who it is said never slept a wink during the supposed warm contest. Dr. Fort was even worse beaten than Dr. Taylor in Oxford, because it is said Mr. Bryant, being a shrewd politician, formed a combination with a wire-worker, who is familiar - v known as Strong Hunt, by prom ising him if he would throw his dead weight for him he would see that he captured the plumb of Chief of Po- lce. It has been mooted since the election that Strong Hunt will not accept the office, having declined in tavor of that prince of office-holders, our friend Billy Brown, owing to the fact that Dr. Taylor had been horri bly squelched in Oxford and he would not get the Chief of Police place, as Jim Renn has a cinch on it. Friend Bryant is all smiles now and even walks bigger than ever and says he beat Dr. Fort because he did not want him to lose any time from the large practice he has built up, and besides he was so nicely fixed up over the Bank of Granville he de cided it undoubtedly the best place for his future prosperity. The Art of Looking Well. To look well is the imperative duty of every woman. To do this is but simple if she will follow the crowd that daily throng Landis & Easton's store where the murmurs of the modes that float from there are so essentially up to date that they may in very truth be regarded as an en cyclopedia of fashion in all the latest fads in millinery, dress goods, trim mings, &e, that women may consult with impunity. Recognized his Old Partner. Mr. Leroy Elliott and his two sons, Ben and Bully, were in town Tues day. Old man Leroy was standing onthe street and saw on old mule com ing down the street, and when he got close by friend Elliott he recog- nized him and brayed. Mr. Elliott remarked to the gentleman he was talking to: "Do you see that mule ? I owned him before I was married and he is about 35 years old." The mule had grown gray in the cause of plow ing, and friend Elliott- has grown gray in the battle of life. Mr. J. VV. Hays Lectures in Durham. The Durham Sun of Wednesday says: A large audience greeted Mr. John W. Hays last evening at Trini ty Church where he delivered a lec ture before the Epworth League upon Paul's Epistle to the Hebrews. It was a very scholarly andpiofound discourse and thoroughly enjoyed by those present. He gave interest ing facts about the authorship, the style of composition and the purpose of this book in the Scriptures. Mr. Hays is a citizen of Oxford. He is an erudite lawyer as well as one of thepurest and most scholarly christians in the State. Hope he will come to see us again. Got on the Turf, But Scooped In. Chief Renn arrested Tuesday Wm. Mayo, John Curtis and Robt Bass, all colored for fighting and cursing on the streets and put them in the calaboose. During the night some one went there and broke open the door and liberated them. Next day Mayo walked in gave himself, while Bass and Curtis continued their way to Virginia and were arrested at Keysville. Chief Renn left Thurs day and brought them back. It was a high-handed auair in lib erating the prisoners, and we trust those who took the matter in their own hands of liberating violators of the law will found out andput in Hotel de Starvation Bill for safe keeping. Librarian Eliington, Still. "Father Time" has won. Mr. E. D. Stafford, of East Bend, is just one notch further away from his coveted seat -in the rooms of the State Library than he was before if such a case is possible, Mr. Els lington was built for State Librarian and he is Librarian. Judge decided that the "Plaintiff was not legally elected and that the defendant may lawfully hold the of fice." So that settles Mr. Santord's hopes and aspirations to live in an atmosphere of literature and "an cient and forgotten lore" until Sep tember anyway. For the Supreme court meets again in that month and Mr. Stanford's attorneys of course took an appeal from Judge Star buck's decision. News and Obser ver. J. 8.

The nnestion of the much mixed school law adopted by the last Leg islature was laid before the Attorney General a tew days ago. xne new law repeals many aections of the old one, but does not affect others. So while county boards ot education are abolished certain things are yet re quired to be done by them and tbe same is the caa as to ctfunty super intendents. The Attorney General decides that county superintendents cannot hold over for another year. As yet, the school law as amended, has not been published. J. S.

Monday was without doubt the quietest election ever held in Oxford as the Democrats had everything their own way. A few of the old colored bellweathers tried to rally the colored Republicans to support Dr. Taylor for Mayor, and by hard work managed to poll 00 votes, but it was -an up-hill business for Big Five Hester and associates to do that. Mayor Royster walked off with a handsome majority and so did Commissioners W. L. Mitchell, J. M. Currin, J. B. Booth, J. C. Horner, J.. G. Hall, E. T. White and J. F. Edwards. The election was such a one-sided affair that a small vote vas polled. Of course the present officers who have been very efficient will be sure to continue in office. We did not see a single white Republican or Pop taking any interest whatever in the election, which is not at all re markable from the fact they saw there was no money in it for their breeches pocket. The Discovery Saved If is I.i To. Mr. G. Caillouette, druggist, Beavers- ville, 111 , says: "To Dr. King's New Dis covery I owe my life. Was taken with La Giippe and tried all the physicians for miles about, but of no avail and was given up and told I could not live. Hav ing -Dr. King's New Discovery in my store I sent for a bottle and began its use and from the first dose began to cet bet ter, and after using three bottles was up and bout again.

Two BillsStarvation Bill and Billy Brown. Mr. Editor: Our great states man Bowling's Mountain, our Billy, Legislative Billy, Reformer Billy, and Everybody's Billy now holds six offices, namely: Deputy sheriff, auc tioneer for the sheriff, Coroner, En rolling Clerk, Magistrate, Deputy Clerk of Superior Court, and yet re ports say he is not satisfied. In the event that Dr. L. C. Taylor is elect ed mayor of Oxford today he will be an aspirant for the office of Chief of Police with the probability of Big 5 Alex Hester, the colored political manipulator, as assistant. Wash Betts, the janitor of the court house, has instructions from the Sheriff not to allow any one in his office in his absence, and this morning while Wash was cleaning up the Sheriff's office in stalked Starvation Bill Roys ter in a very pompous manner, and when requested to go out he would not budge an inch, declaring he had a right to be in there. Therefore Wash walked out and turned the key on Starvation Bill and he was for a short while a prisoner in the Sher iff's office, with Wash Betts playing jailor.
