Medford, who has been confined at home several days on ac count of siekness is out again. Hello! The 0xford telephone line is now in good working order and is proving quite a great conveni ence. The Atlanta Exposition will dis pel the effects of some lying that has been indulged in as to conditions at the south. The farmers are in better spirits this week than for a month past. The bright, hot weathar is having a happy effort on crops. The Democratic party passed the income tax law, the Supreme Court ordered it up, the poor man gets left and the rich man rakes in the pot. The County Commissioners have ordered the building of bridges at Gregory's old mill near Oxford, and oyer Tar River at Crews (Minors) mill. It is said that Maryann Butler is discomforted because he says the Democrats have stolen his party's only weapon in declaring for free silver in this State. The Granville Republicans will deplore the day wben they allowed Dr. Dalby to proclaim himself leader of their party. He sowed the wind and reaped the spoils. The Christian Advocate takes a hand editorially in the silver battle, by advising its readers to ascertian how the bankers will vote and then vote just the other way. We have the home made Grain Cradles, also 14 Finger Grain Cradles with warranted blades. New lot of new style Buggies just in. See them, at Edwards and Winston. A Denyer clergyman says '"there are 10,000 men going to hell on bicy cles." If his figures are correct there must be several hundred thousand men wheeling their way to heaven. The Concord Times is satisfied that more than one-half of the Demo cratic voters of Cabarrus county are opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 1G to 1. New woman, in her hours of ease, Despite her scorn of men, When chased by snakes or bugs or bees, Screams on the same old plan. New York Recorder. The race at the track of Mr. Louis De LaCroix on Friday after noon between Mr. Oscar Gregory's Black Bess and Mr. J. C. Horner's fine colt was won by Black Bess. Quite a good crowd witnessed the race. An Alexander countv correspon dent of the Statesville Mascot says that since the introduction of the silver argument into that country the negroes are atraid to go out at night lest they be nabbed and "en slaved by England." The Reidsville Review says: The fpw cuckoo editors in the State are having a hard time of it defending thfi administration's srold buer poli cies. The zeal they display in res turn for administration tavor is wor- thyof a better cause. Mr- W. E. Moss, of Henderson, and Miss Cora Jenkins, daughter, of Prof. W. H. Jr. Jenkins, were mar ried at Grove Hill church on Wed nesday afternoon. We trust some kind friend will furnish us an ac count of the marriage. It is decidedly ugly fact that the clerks of the Douglass Memorial Association passed the mortgage bill. This great reform body put more taxes on the poor down trodden farmer. We wonder if the great statesman from Vance can take this fact in? , The Richmond Dispatch says; Tte venerable, though sprightly and progressive, University of North Carolina is being generally and very justly complimented on the success of its centennial celebration. Its strength, we trust, will always be as its years. News of another murder comes from Wilmington. John Dixon (col ored) walked into a store kept by Lee Jones, his cousin, and fired both barrels of a shot gun at him. One hundred and fifty shot struek Jones, and he died in a few minutes. The men had quarrelled the previous day. -We neglected to state last week that the write up of Oxford and our business men was from the pen of Col. Al Fairbrother, of Durham. The Colonel told the editor that he never met a more clever set of peo ple than he found doing business in our town. That's when ha spoke a parable. Peter Charleston's great race horse has at last succumbed to the starvation that befals animals who possess owners that will not furnish weather boarding. It is said he has been known to make better time on the ground than any other horse of Oxford, because it took large pieces of wood to move him up. It is said that next autumn the publication of the Daily Cauca sian will be resumed. It may be as- j : , f .r Y,ut th Potm- SUUlbU as a cei laiuij . lists will begin their campaign ot . ... i ooK m,.1c Mr lyo long oeiore iow ouu. Butler will have charge of their cam paign, really, and he well knows the value of such prompt tactics. OXFORD, Mr. J. G. Hall is building a stable near his ice house. We learn that work on the Davis Hotel at Kittrell has commenced. The fronts of Mr. J. S. Brown's store and the post office have been repainted. , The roof of Booth and Hunt's Warehouse has received a coat of red paint. Another fishing party from Oxj ford is up on Grassy Creek trying their luck. We have almost forgotten the recent hot wave in the delightful weather now prevailing.

At the senior class exercises at Wake Forest on the 10th at Wingate Hall. Mr. Frank E. Parham, of Granville, was President and validic torian. Dutch bonnets are not as popu lar as they were since caricaturists made women who wear them look something like the animal with long est ears. A mad dog swung around the circle Wednesday afternoon and bit Mr. L. E. Wright's twice and cons tinued his mad journey. Mr. W. will kill his dog. Judere Goff the South hater, will have to take a backseat. His regis tration injunction case in South Carolina has been dissolved by Chief Justice Fuller and the rights of States is still preserved. The receipts of the Ladies Momo rial Association at Raleigh on the 20th of May not only paid the expen ses ot the celebration, but leaves a balance suffieent to pay for a neat railing around the monument. The Republicans are doing a lot of talking now. to the effect that the Democrats are making the most des perate efforts to get back the Popu lists. This is a fact, but what did the Republicans try to do last year? Mrs. A. A. Hicks assisted by Miss Eva Minor will reopen her school, on College street, for girls and sma'l boys the 1st Monday in Sept. Her advertisement will ap pear in the next issue of this paper. It is the talk in Raleigh that con siderable pressue is being brought to bear on Democratic State Chairman Pou, to induce him to call the com mittee together so it can call a silver convention on the plan of that in Illinois. What will be the outcome, no one appears to know. The Washington Post a few days ago contained a short article giving a review of Hon. Thomas Settle's political career in North Carolina, and predicts that he will be the next Republican candidate for Goyornor, for it says he is the most prominent Republican factor in North Carolina. Mr. Hal Ayer, editor of the Caucasian, the great organ of the Populists, says he does not care what the name is of the party he votes with, so it is for free silver. He maintains that the old parties now cut no figure at all, it being simply a question of silver versus gold. The Fayetteville Observer has compiled a list of the leading State papers showing how they stand on the silyer question. For unlimited coinage without waiting for other countries, 25; for limited silver or international bimetallism, 1G; no side taken (probably leaning to the gold standard), 1G. Dr. I. H. Davis, of Stovall, a graduate of Baltimore Dental Col lege, and who has been granted license to practice his profession by the State Dental Board will locate in Oxford. He has rented an office over J. C. Cooper and Sons bank, and will in a few days be prepared to accommodate those in need of his services. -We learn that our esteemed young friend, Mr. Crawford Knott and Miss Pattie Hobgood, were quietly married at the pleasant Home of Mrs. Rebecca Hobgood at Enon on Sunday momingby Rev. R. H. Marsh, in the presence of the imme diate friends of the contracting parties. The best wishes of the editor attend them in their journey of life. As time moves on and the effects of the Douglassite Momorial Associa tion are seen by the people, espe cially as to the crippling of Public Schools of the State, it shows that if a worse and more worthless Legisla ture eyer disgraced the State the memory of its misdoings have faded from the public memory. The most fortunate part of it is that it could only sit GO days. The Public Ledger may be a "Little one horse goldbug paper" in the estimation of a Douglassite who has wheels in his head, but it "gets there just the same," if the noble order did boycotte it and ap point committees to wait on its cor respondents, and try to pursuade them to stop writing for the "old Democratic Rattle Trap." The best of it all is the Douglassites will read it jf it is against the edict of the Noble order to subscribe to the paper.

Hargrove flourns the Death of fir. Rogers. Jones. It is with sincere regret we are called upon to chronicle the death of our esteemed friend, Mr. Roger S. Jones, which sad event occourred at his home at Hargrove Sunday nightj last at minutes past J o'clock. He has been a great sufferer for the past 8 years of that dreadful dis ease, consumption. It can be said of him he bore his sufferings with great fortitude and patience as he was never heard to murmur or com plain, but seemed perfectly recon ciled to the afflictions which his Mas ter saw fit to send upon him. He was a man that was liked by all. Kind, unselfish and accommodating he was ever ready and willinsr to do anyone a favor when it was in his power. In all his business transactions he was just and generous to a fault. He was a pure consecrated christian, having been a member of the Bap tist church at Tally Ho for several years. He was the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Amos Jones and was 32 years of age. He leaves a devoted wife, one little boy and an aged fa ther and mother, seyeral brothers and sisters, besides a host of rela tives and friends. May God in His infinite wisdom Help them to bow To the stroke of II is providence That falls on them now, And may He not leave them com fortless in this their most tryiner hour, but may His promise be veri fied unto them that He will be a fa ther to the widow and orphan. Our heart goes out in deepest sympathy to the dear wife in this the bitterest trial of her life and were it in our power to alleviate her sorrow and trouble in any way we would oh! so gladly do so, but alas! we can do nothing but sympathize and pray to Him who has seen fit to send the blow upon her to comfort and bless her in this dark and trying hour. It was our pleasure to know Mr. Jones and we have never seen any one more cheerful all the while, not withstanding his condition of health than was he. He was our postmas ter at this place and how much we shall miss him alas! words are inad equate to express. He arose last Saturday morning as well as usuai and was taken with hemorrhage of the lungs about eleven o'clock from which he rallied in the afternoon and seemed that he was going to get oyer it as heretofore, but bn Sunday morning he grew worse and graudu ally declined until he peacefully fell asleep in death at the hour stated above. The funeral services were conduct ed by Dr. R. H. Marsh and were very impressive. The remains were in terred in the old family burying ground in the presence of a large crowd of sorrowing relatives and friends. L. M. J. A Sensible Dog. The 4-year-old boy of Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Moore has as his pet a Shep herd dog who is his constant com panion. A few days ago a passer noticed that the boy and the dog were under a low cherry tree, and the little fellow wanted some cher ries but could not reach the limbs. so he had the dog jumping up to the limbs and pulling them off with his mouth and dropping them on the ground and he would pick them up and eat them, lhis is a sensible doer. Grand Picnic at the Oxford Orphan Asylum June 25th Given by Granville county to the Grand Lodge of Masons and visitors on that day. Dinner free. Every family m the county invited to bring a basket. A large number of our citizens, ladies and gentlemen, in different sections of the county have been asked to help about the dinner and entertain our guests. Governor Carr, Judge Clark, Judge Faircloth, Judge Shepherd, Presi dent Winston, Dr. Mclver and other distinguished citizens have accepted an inyitation to be present. Let old Granville show how hospit ably and generously her people can entertain. Blind Tom at the Opera House. Blind Tom gave an exhibition of his wonderful musical talent last night at the American Academy of Music before a large and apprecia tive audience. After a performance displaying his complete control oyer the instrument he varied the pro gramme by spelling the names of ar ticles held up by persons in the au dience. Tom getting his clew from sounds produced on the piano by his attendant, and the spelling of diffi cult words named by auditors, ac cording to a phonetic system of his own. Philadelphia Ledger. He will perform at the Opera House this Friday night, and if you wish to be highly entertained go and hear this wonderful pei former on the piano. While at Peekskill, N. Y., Mr. J. A. Soriven, a prominent, nimufscturer of New York City, purchased a bottle of Chamberlai 1 'a Cough Itemedy. Such good results -were oLiain yd from its use that ho sent back to the druggist from whom he had obtained it for two more bottlP3 of the sune remedy. When you have a rough or cold give this prepara tion atrial and like Mr. Scrivtn you will want it when again in need of such a medicine. It is a remedy of great worth and merit. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by J. G.
