While the themometer stood 94 Monday night quite a number of citizens got in the middle of Main street to see who could throw a sledge hammer the fartherest, Prof. J. C. Horner, accomplished the feat. A race was proposed and Mr. Plunk Meadows was the winner. Mr. Thos. White, Jr., the polite and attentive clerk at Kronheimer's Clothing Emporium, had the misfor tune to stick a nail in one of his feet on Sunday, and in consequence has been confined at home this week. We are glad to learn that he has about recovered from the wound. We had the pleasure of meeting in our sanctum on Wednesday morn ing Rev. J. E. Smith, an able divine and school teacher, of Creedmoor, We learned from him that his school which has just closed was a great success, ar'l he pypects a large in crease in numbers at the next ses sion. Supt. Shepard, of the Colored Orphan Asylum, got piled up in a heap in Oxford Tuesday. His horse run away throwing him out along with the boy that was driving. The boy was hurt worse than Rev. R.

Of the 1076 delegates all but 50 were in structed or declared themselves for the fiee coinage of silver and the 50 who are with Grover Cleveland must feel out of place. The convention will appoint and instruct delegates to the National Convention. His honor Judge Graham, who has made such a splendid reputation as a. Judge in the 12th district, has completed the circuit and is at home where he .vill remain three months. From the Western papers we learn that he proved himself to be the most progressive Judge that has presided over the-courts of the 12th district in many years. Mr. H. M. Shaw has about com pleted an excellent map of Granville county. Each township is distinct, and the county roads, railroads, rivers and creeks are' well defined, along with the different postoffices as well as many farm houses. This is a valuable map, and it would be well to have a plate made of it so that the people, could be supplied with a map of the county. Rev. Thos. Dixon, Jr. This gifted orator will deliver his famous lecture on -'Fools," in the Opera House in this city, Thursday night June 13th, 1895. His lectures are always interesting, entertaining and instructive, and no one can afford to miss this one. Mr. Dixon gained a national reputation quicker than any man we have ever known, and North Carolina is indeed proud to furnish to the nation such a great genius, such a useful man, such a noble orator. We hope no one will fail to he present at this lecture where you can laugh at a great humorist and be instructed by a great intellect.

One-Horse Paper to the Little flule of Carlton, Vance County. By receiving a communication signed "Old Timer," which we pubs lish elsewhere, replying to an article in the noble Third Party Progressive Farmer of the 28th of May, our at tention was called to said article signed 0. H. Parham, of Carlton, Vance county, referiing to the Pub lic Ledger as a "Little, one horse gold-bug paper published in Oxford, N. C." This is not the first time this wise acre of the Carlton section has brayed through his hat and exhibited a lack of that quality which keeps people out of trouble. This self-conceited fellow needs purging and we have got the medicine for that purpose ; it may make him sick, but it will do him good. His audacious impudence and self assumed wisdom needs prun ing. By some means or other this worshipper at the shrine of Douglas ism, imagines himself overflowing with wisdom and sound doctrine. Poor deluded mortal, his vision has been dimmed by the meanness and corruption of his political view's. He ought not to be allowed to run at large. Oh, yes, let him sputter and spurt, his weakness is patent and no body is in danger. We have never claimed to drive a coach and four or to ride on the ejeyated road, nor have we turned our back on our race; but we do claim to run a true-blue, double and twisted, yard wide and foot thick Democratic county paper. And we are glad to say for Parham's infor mation that it affords interesting and instructive reading for many of his political pals, who are too stingy or who are afraid to subscribe to it but insist upon borrowing it from their Democratic neighbors. Bray on thou small gem in the Rep-Pop crown that has shed such a black ray over the grand old State of North Carolina bringing disgrace upon her fair name, promising to stick our "Little one horse" Demo cratic spur in the side of the Pop-Rep mule every time an opportunity af fords. Our home is in Oxford and we board at the same place. A. BAKER, THE MAN. The Douglasltes in CounciN-Big Chief Dalby on the Scene. On Monday last a large number of the moss hack T)ouglasites rolled into Oxford with blood in their eyes because of a $75.00 office was to be dropped on the pie counter, and many of them did not know where Sikes' lightning would -strike whether on the head of a Rad or a Douglasite. They soon found Big Chief Dalby, who expanded his brains and got his Lieutenants Taz Taylor and Rev. William Royster, of Oxford; Davis Blackley, of Fishing Creek; D. C. Ferrabow, of r tem ; J. S. Pool, of Buchanan, and others by his side, and everything was mapped out so that it would tell for the party in 1890. We heard a fusionist negro say : "Yes, de Demierats dey put politics in de schools, an1 our party is gwine ter do de same thing. We's gwine ter make it count in de next cam paign. De office of Superintendent of Public Instruction am abolished case de Demierats filled dat place." The colored school teachers of the county were on hand and petitioned Clerk Sikes to appoint Prof. Jen kins School Examiner, but of course he could not do that, as he owes his election to the noble Third party order, better known now as Doug lasites, and Big Chief Dalby carried the edict in his hat. Mr. Mkes first tendered the place to Mr W, P. Lyon, the man that felt such a deep interest in the Re publican cause, that he stepped off the Pop ticket last year and advised the members of the noble Third party order to vote for Mr. Sikes, but he declined. The next man picked out was Mr. Vas.sar Peace, an intelligent young farmer, and a graduate of Chapel Hill. He too declined the empty honor. That kinder put the big five to scratching their heads, and they finally con cluded that they would tender it to A. Baker, of Fishing Creek, being cautious riot to let him know that the others had already declined the appointment. That was entirely unnecessary as it is said he was very anxious for office and would jump at the Examiners place. He was appointed by Mr! Sikes and the con clave disbanded subject to the call of the Big Chief. It is said that Mr. Baker is quali fied for the place, as well as the other gentlemen who declined. But after all, he has but little authority and the County Commissioners are masters of the situation under the new political school law passed by the Douglass Legislature, who will meet on Monday next to appoint school committeemen for the re spective districts and attend to other business in connection with the public schools.

The Commencement a Great Success Mr. Josephus Daniels Address, &c. Our town has been enliven by a series of educational commencements that have given an air of activity and enterprise to our streets such as would impress any stranger that Ox ford is a true educational center. The fame it has won in the past has more than sustained the great reputation that has characterized it heretofore as the nursery of learning and conspieious among the schools of the South is the noted Horner Military School that has been in ex istence here for nearly half a cen tury. Its commencement exercises on Thursday and Friday last accompan ied with a competitive drill on the campus grounds between companies A and B attracted a vast amount of interest and was numerously attend ed by a collection of intelligent citi zens of Oxford and prominent pat rons of the school, among the latter Col. J. S. Carr, of Durham, his sou, Julian S. Carr, being Captain of Company A. Captain Geo. D. Vick, of Johnston county, commanded Co. B. This contest was hotly contested and required nice discrimination to determine who were the victors. The judges, however, composed of Major B. S. Royster, Captains Sidney W. Minor, Willie Landis, Lieut. Hugh Skinner, and Sargeant Major Willie Gulick of the State Guard awarded the colors to Company A. A pretty battalion parade was the next thing that attracted the atten tion of the throng of spectators. The eontest for the medal presented to the best drilled cadet in. the manual of arms was an exciting one, and Hillman Cannady, of Co. B, of this county, captured the medal. We congratulate him upon his success. MEDAL CONTEST EDITOR DANIELS ADDRESS. ETC. The most brilliant feature of the commencement took place as usual at the Opera House Thursday even ing where was congregated a large, intelligent and refined audience much interest was felt in the rivalry among the students for the various medals which were the acme of the ambi tious cadets who participated in the contest to win them. Four contestants tried their skill for the declaimers medal, to wit: Messrs. Hillman Cannady, of Gran ville, Hoffman, of Halifax, Marvin Minor, of Oxford and Vernon; of Greensboro. The judges decided that Cadet Vernon was entitled to the medal. The Essayist medal was won by Marsden Bellamy, of Wilmington. Deal, of Franklin was the winner of the debaters medal, and the Orators Medal by G. D. Vick, of Selma. Mr. Crawford Biggs delivered all of the Ihese medals in a manner so handsome as to attract much praise and admiration. The flag was presented to Capt. J. S. Carr. Jr., by the gallant Major B. S. Royster in a brief, humorous and taking speech. Just preeeediug the deliver' of the medals Cadet John Carr, son of Dr. A. Q. Carr, of Durham, introduced in fine style the orator of the.Frank liu Society Josephus Daniels, the talented and well known editor of the News & Observer. Mr. Daniels speech was laudatory of Martin Luther and Thomas Jefferson, the form'er of whom was a champion of the reformation and the latter gave voice to those noble sentiments of freedom found in the American De claration of Independence which time has in no sense tended to dim. He was listened to with close atten tion by the large audience, and his happy eulogistic remarks touching the late life services and character of the late Prof. James H. Horner, the ablest educator North Carolina has produced, called forth spontane ous applause. Mr. Daniels speecli ideal one and well received. It so happened greatly to our re gret that we failed to meet with Brother Daniels, the genial and en terprising representative of the lead ing daily paper of the State, at whose address we had the pleasure of hear ing. Music on the occasion at intervals by the Italian band was keenly rel ished and very inspiring. ATHLETIC SPORTS FRIDAY. The second days proceedings called out, despite the intense heat, to the grounds an immense crowd of at tractive ladies and manly men from Oxford and all parts of the county, supplemented by many visitors from a distance. The attraetious were many and varied and of an athletic character exciting great interest. Company A was victorious in the game of base ball. One mile bicyle race rolled into the cap of E. W. Pace. 100 yards dash was cap tured by T. A. Man. Hurdle race leaped upon the brow of W. H. Carr. Throwing the hammer fell upon the shoulders of B. S. Herring. Throw ing of the base ball was caught by G. D. Vick. Bag race was towed in by W. L. Klutz. Three legged race was tied to by J. M. Lipscomb and J. S. McKee. The tournament was next on the program, and Cadets Hillman Can nady, J. M. Lipscomb, A. L. Harris and Mark . Stevenson entered for the exciting contest. The chosen sponsors of the chiyalrous knights who occupied the stand were Misses Nellie Currin, Fannie Landis, Carrie Hobgood, and Mary Currin, four of our town's lovely maidens. These young gentlemen had a live ly tilt with lances for supremacy un til at last victory perched on the banner of Cadet Lipscomb, of Dur ham, who crowned the bewitching Miss Carrie Hobgood. The finale of the entertainment was not on the program, but was a bieys cle race by two of our crack wheel men, which was indulged in simply as a amateur contest for the amusement of the large assemblage. The con testants were Thomas Smith and Wade Britt, who tried their speed with honorable rivalry around the track ot the campus in which Britt ' came out victorious by several yards. BRILLIANT GERMAN. At night the Cadets gave an ele gant German in the splendid hall of the large barracks of this splendid school, in which was represented some of the beauty and srrace of Ox ford, as well as other places in this' State and Virginia: The following couple participated in German: J. C. Biggs led with Miss Nannie Cannon, of Concord. Those present and dancing were Miss Lottie Britt with Cadet Carr; Miss Mary B. Greg ory with M. M. Jordan; Miss Bessie Lewis, of Virginia, with E. G.

The Board of County Commission ers met on Monday with Messrs. T. D. Waller, chairman, Graham Roys ter, J. P. Thomas, Ike Breedlove and W. H. Garner. We are glad that we still have such good men to look after the affairs of the county in stead of the gang that hovered around the court house because a $75 office was at the disposal of the hungry Douglassites. The tax levied is as follows for 1895: State, 25 cents; school, 18 cente; county, 23s cents; total, GG1 cents. Poll tax school, $1.50; poor, 40 cents; State for pensions, 10 cents; total,. $2. Tax under schedule B same as State tax for which see acts of 1895. The assessors of the various town ships of the county met in. the court room and W. T. Allen, Esq., was elected chairman. They discussed the matter of equalization of valua tion of the property of the county and the following was the result: Fancy horses, $100 to $150; first-class horses, $75; second class horses, $50; third-class horses, $30; nondescripts, ; mules same as horses; first-class cow, $30: second class cow, $20; third-class cow, $10; hogs, ; sheep, $1.50; jacks, $200 to $300; stallions, $200 to $300. They took no action in land as there was great difference of opin ion. Badly Hurt. On Monday Mr. Al Renn was haul ing sotne scantling to Hicks' mill, accompanied by James Renn, , Jr., son of Chief Renn, and when near the mill the mules became frighten ed 'and ran away, throwinsr the occu pants of the wagon out and the lum ber falling on them. Jimmie Renn was badly hurt, re ceiving a deep cut on one of his legs and one side of his face was bruised to a considerable extent. Nearly the whole load fell upon him, but fors tunately some of the scantling in falliner out crossed each other, which no doubt saved the Jittle fellows life. He was brought to town and his wounds dressed, and we are glad to learn is getting along nicely under the sore circumstances. Mr. Al Renn received only a few bruises, and soon pulled himself to gether and let his brother know what had happened. While at Peekskill, N. YM Mr. J. A. Scriven, a prominent manufacturer of New York City, purchased a bottle of Chamberlai'i 's Cough Remedy. Such ,ood results were obtained from its use that he sent back to the druggist from whom he had obtained it for two more bottles of the same reuied y. When you have a cough or cold give this prepara tion atrial and like Mr. Scriven you will want it when again in need of such a medicine. It is a remedy of great worth and merit. 23 and 50 cent bottles for sale by J. G. Hall, druggist.

On Monday morning Miss Harriet Britton Brogdon read her graduat ing essay, "The Educational Influ ence of Literature," and received her Diploma. The Essay, which was read in a pleasing and graceful style, was a beautiful piece of Eng lish, and was a strong argument in favor of literary education. Dr. J. B. Van Meter, Dean of the Faculty of the Womans1 College of Baltimore, was introduced by Mr. John W. Hays. Dr. Van Meter did not deliver the address he had pre pared for the occasion, but discussed the question of Higher Education for Women. Dr. Van Meter is not only a fluent, but a fascinating speaker, a finished scholar, and pro found thinker, and is eminently practical. The audience that greeted him listened with eagerness to every word that fell from his lips, and the address which he delivered will long be remembered in Oxford for its eloquence and beauty.
