Through the courtesy of the our worthy contemporary, the Orphan's Friend, we give our readers the fol lowing sketches of the lives, with likenesses, of Messrs. J. M. Currin and Fielding Knott, who represent Oxford and Granville county on the Board of Directors of the Orphan Asylum, a grand, noble Institution : MR. J. M. CURRIN, OF OXFORD. The subject of this sketch was born in Granville county, Sept. 4, 1846 Towards the end of the war he en listed in the Junior Reserves, and entered upon active duty in the Con federate States Navy aboard the "Old Savannah;" infa few months he was transferred to the flag-snip Charleston, 7 where he was taken prisoner and confined in historic old "Libby." Returning from the war in the prime of young manhood he settled upon a farm a few miles from Oxford, and commenced his work with that zeal and energy that have distinguished him since then. He was very successful in raising and curing fine, bright tobacco, and his tobacco took first prize wherever eh tered. For the past 20 years he has been engaged in the Leaf Tobacco busi ness, and is accounted one of the best judges of tobacco in the State. He was First Vice-President of North Carolina Tobacco Association for several years and always take a deep interest in the upbuilding or this in dustry. He had charge of the entire business of VVm. S. Kimball & Co., in this State prior to the formation of the American Tobacco Company, and since then has been manager and buyer of the Company on the Oxford market. Mr. Currin has filled many posi tions of trust in his native county, and is admired and esteemed by all who know him. In every enterprise for the upbuilding and improvement of his community, he stands in the forefront, and his sound judgment and business experience are most valuable. He is a large stockholder and vice-president of the Bank of Granville. He is an enthusiastic supporter of the Oxford Orphan Asylum, and is always ready to lend a helping hand. Being elected a director of the Asy lum by the Grand Lodge of Masons in January, 1895, he at once entered upon a faithful discharge of his du ties. In Granville and adjoining coun ties the name of "Mat" Currin is syndnomous with sterling integrity, honesty of purpose and sincerety of action. He is one of the pillars of the Baptist Church in Oxford and one of the most prominent laymen of that denomination in the State. Mr. Currin is now a member of Oxford Lodge, No. 39G, besides the Royal Arch Chapter and Grand Comman- dery. MR. FIELDING KNOTT, OF GRANVILLE, Was born in Granville county on the 25th day of November, 1827, and has always resided in the county or his birth. He became a member of the Baptist Church in his 18th year, and has always been loyal to his early faith, being now one of the most prominent in he denomination. His integrity of character, his high sense ot amy ana raiinrumess io eveiy business engagement brought him into prominence. Mr. Knott was detailed from the army during the late war to take care of the families of absent soldiers who would otherwise have been without means of support and protection. This was an important task, and en tailed grave responsibilities, but Mr. Knott discharged these duties with good faith and eminent success, win ning high words of praise from all parties. When the war ended, Mr. Knott, like many others of the best citizens of the South, amid the pre vailing desolation had to start from the very beginning to build up his future. He set about this with en ergy and courage having well learn ed the lesson of economy which the war had taught. He excelled in ju dicious management of the farm and fMf OXFORD, N. 0., FRIDAY, MAY 24v 1895. was skilled in the production of fine, bright tobacco. With this his suc cess was assured. Mr. Knott has achieved success by his own efforts and excellent judgment, and is now one of the wealthiest men in the Co., and furnishes an example of what may be accomplished on the farm in North Carolina. He has learned by experience what it is to struggle with adversity, and is prepared to sympa thize with young men of merit who are having a like experience. And now in the evening of his life, while enjoying his well-earned suc cess, there are many who acknow ledge his friendly aid and encour agement at times when most needed. Mr. Knott, though not a Mason, has always been a warm and liberal friend of the Oxford Orphan Asylum and since he was appointed a direc tor by the governor in 1893, his sound judgment in the management of its affairs, and dilligent attention to its interests have proved of valuable service. Death of Two Sisters. Elizabeth Stewart, an old colored woman, while on the way to see her sick sister who was at the point of death in Oxford, dropped dead on the road near the home of Mr. R. W. Lassiter. Heart disease was the cause of death. The sister, Frances Day, also died about 9 o'clock that night. She had been an invalid for 12 years and bore her affliction with great patience. Found Dead. Lottie Norwood, colored, aged about CO years, was found dead on the roadside between Oxford and Ragland's store on Wednesday morn ing. She was an inmate of the poor house, and it is supposed she strayed off Tuesday night in the rain and died from exposure. Coroner J. W. Brown was notified who summoned a jury and held an inquest, deciding that she died from exposure and old age. Superintendent Allen took charge of the remains and had them buried at the poor house.

Winston, of Adoniram, at Oak Ridge Institute on Monday evening last at 5 o'clock of hemorr rhage of the lungs. His remains were brought to Granville for inter ment on Tuesday. The following resolutions of the Senior Class of 1895 of Oak Ridge attest full well the high esteem in which he was held by his brother students: Whereas, it has pleased our alwise Heavenly Father to remove from our midst our beloved class-mate, Chas, D. Ward, we feel a great loss in the death of this friend, but at the same time bow in humble submission to the will of Him who doeth all things well, and will ever strive to live up to the noble example that he daily set before his school-mates. Therefore, be it resolved 1. That in his death the Senior Class of Oak Ridge Institute has lost one ot its most faithful and beloved members; that he as a student was always at his post of duty, with a cheerful face and with a well prepar ed lesson. 2. That we as his class-mates will ever cherish his memory, and will ever strive to live up to the noble example that he daily set before us. 3. That we extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved relatives and sorrowing friends, and our prayer to Him who is a very present help in times of need, and trouble, is, that he will sustain them in the hour of their affliction. 4. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to his relatives, to the Oxford Papers, and to the Oak Leaf with a request to be published. W. R. LOWDERMILK, I. C. Shore, Com. J. W.

That in advocating the free and unlimited coinage of silver by the Government of the United States we are not asking any favors or con cession from any one, but are simp ly demanding that the great wrong done the masses of the American people by the Republican party in 1873 be undone and that silver be restored to the position it occupied from the foundation of our Govern ment up to the perpetration of that great Republican crime. 4th. That iu our judgment the immediate resumption of the free and unlimited coinage of silver by the government of the United States as it existed prior to 1873 without waiting one moment for the co operation and without reference to the conduct or policy of any nation oa earth is the great un!j that now confronts the American people, and we appeal to all men of every shade of political opinion in North Caro lina who believe as we do that the restoration of the free and unlimit ed coinage of silver means the re storation of prosperity to our homes to join with us in the great battle of 1896, which we intend to wage to wipe out the Republican crime of 1873, and to secure for our beloved old State good laws and government. 5th. That we send greetings to our Democratic brethren of Illinois, thanking them for the bold, open and aggressive stand they have taken in favor of the immediate resump tion of the coinage of silver and we send them our assurance of our hearty sympathy and co-operation in 1896.

That while we concede the right of every citizen of the State to go as a delegate to the so-called sound-money convention, to be held in Memphis this week, or to be re presented by delegates thereto, we at the same time protest that in so doing they do not represent the Democratic pentiment of this State.
