Picked up and Put in Shape from the Town and County. A e.ottou factory would be iust j the thing for Oxford, j Tlio editor thanks Mayor B. S. Koyster for some of the most lus cious peaches of the season. I The Public Ledger force is i under obligations to Mr. J. T. Wilej for some splendid lemonade. We are glad to learn that the Episcopal congregation is much pleased with their new rector, Rev. Mr. Plummer. Geo. I. Nowitzky entertained the crowd on Thursday afternoon with some pertinent thoughts on the late Douglass Legislature. Deputy Collector J. A, Thomas will be in Oxford next Tuesday, July 20th, for the purpose of taking bonds of those who wish to distill brandy. Mr. John Taylor, who has been sick for some time, has altaost en tirely recevered and resumed his du ties at the B. F. Taylor Buggy Works. Fusion still continues. At the April term of Granville Superior coutt the clerk designated a Doug lassite as foreman of the grand jury and at the term now in session he picks out a Republican. The storage barn of Mr. W. D. Kimball, who lives near Tar River, was burned Sunday afternoon. It is not known how it caught on fire. Some 23 bushels of wheat went up along with the building. The loss is about $300. Mr. J. C. Randolph has a fine patch of prolific corn in his garden. Many of the stalks have ten roasting ears on them. Many of our farmers would do well to see this corn, which they can do by going to the rear of Hall's drug stoie. Sol Marabl and the two women, Pokey Barnes and Mary Abemathy, were convicted of the murder of Mrs. Pollard at Lunenburg, Ya., court last week and sentenced to be hanged on Sept. 23. Mary Barnes was senteuced to the Penitentiary for 10 years. Prof. Alex Baker, school exam inei for Granville county, will be in Oxford on Saturday, Aug. 3. to ex amine applicants for admission into the freshman class at the Agricul tural and Mechanical College at Ral eigh. He will charge each applicant $1.00 for examination. Secretary Hoke Smith has left his duties in Washington and is now stumping Georgia in the interest of the gold standard. We wonder when a member of the administration will invade North Carolina for the pur pose of trying to stop the silver wave that. is sweeping our State? Jake Webb, colored, who was put in jail some time ago for cost is a great nuisance to the town. He takes especial pains to preach and make all kinds of noise all night, consequently those who live in the vicinity of the jail cannot sleep. Cannot something bo done to abate the nuisance? We more than regret to an nounce the illness of one of Oxford's most charming young ladies, Miss Fannie Skinner, who was striken down last week with fever. We learn this Thursday morning that she is some better, and we truly hope that it will continue until she is fully restored to health. The Concord Standard says a certain merchant sent out a wheel barrow one morning loaded with provisions to be delivered, among which was some butter. The deliv ery boy stopped his wagon to rest, and taking his hands from the shafts, the butter was so strong it pushed the whole turnout off into the ditch aud ran along in front of the boy. After a long illness with con sumption the wife of Tazwell Tay lor, one of our most worthy and highly esteemed colored citizens, died on Monday morning. She bore her affliction with christian fortitude and passed away with the assurance tuat her spirit would enter the eter nal city. The interment took place Tuesday morning at the colored cem etery in the presence of many friends Tho injunction case of R. H. Cowan against Fairbrother was heard Saturday in Oxford before Judge A. W. Graham. Major W. A. Guthrie appeared for Fairbrother and Judge Winston and James Man ning for Cowan. The restraining order was continued as to Colonel Fairbrother but was dissolved as to Mrs. Fairbrother, as her affidavit stated that she was not connected with the proposed issue of the Recorder. OXFORD, Mr. T. W. Jackson, who was confined to his homo several days the past week on account of sickness, is out again and at his place of busi ness. We are requested by Sheriff Co zart to say to all who owe and have not paid their taxes under the reve nue act of 1S95 to. come forward at once and settle tho same or he will have to force them to do so. Next Wednesday the grand cele bration at the colored Orphan Asy lum will take place, and all our col ored people should take part in the ceremonies. No doubt a large num ber of whites will also attend as they feel much interest in the institution. On account of the heavy rains that fell on Wednesday night, and Thursday morning a large number of people who had business in court could not get to town owing to the swollen streams. We learn several small bridges near Oxford were washed away and others badly dam aged. J. D Brinkley, tho photograph er, has moyed into his new gallery below Hall's drug store, where he will be glad to have everybody call to see him. His new place is the nicest and best gallery that any one has ever had in our town, and he is now better fixed thau ever before to do strictly tip-top work. Prof. Oakley has added to Brooks & Co.'s hippodrome a monkey of a rare species. He is a first-class aero bat and can swing from a pole with his tail. He took the place of the owl that succumbed to the heat and is known in these parts no more. But the monkey, "coon" and ele phant are still winning cards as sum mer attractions. A special to the News and Ob server from Rocky Mount, dated July 24th, says: Dr. W. T. Spruill, a prominent citizen and practicing physician of Hilliardston, in this (Nash) county, committed suicide to day with a pistol shot iu the brains. It is alleged that on Sunday Spruill attempted a criminal assault on a respectable married lady in the neighborhood, and yesterday papers for his arrest were placed in the hands of the county sheriff for ser vice. As soon as taken into custody this morning he fired the fatal shot. In the Arms of Jesus. Sadness and gloom now overshad ows the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Hobgood, near Oxford, as the mes senger death has plucked a sweet flower from within its portals to bloom afresh in the garden of para dise. On Monday, Vernon, the G year old son, the pride of the household, after an illness of ten days, passed away. The funeral took place on Tues day, conducted by Rev. R. H. Marsh, and the remains were deposited in the oUl family burying ground by tender sympathizing friends. We extend our condolence to the be reaved ones. Do Not Give It Away. Some capitalists have asked the Board of Town Commissioners to grant a 2f years franchise for a tele phone system in Oxford. The mat ter came up before the Town Com missioners on Wednesday night and came very near being granted, but fortunately it was postponed until tonight. For the best interests of the town, we hope the Commissioners will not give away the right to any corpora tion for a number of years. How lone1 do we know that they will stay ? They may find that it will not pay them and pull out, and we cannot haye any other line unless said capis talists say so. Then the system during such a long period will be greatly improved upon by other companies and under such a leave of power as proposed, we will have to submit to old ante dated phones. We are opposed to granting such a franchise, and be lieve we voice the sentiment of the thinking people of the town. Give them the free use of the town but by all means do not give away our rights for 25 years, or 5 years If they can make the system pay they will come anyhow and stay as long as they can make money out of it, and when it cease? to be remun erative they will pull up stakes and seek another field. Wanted. Five thousand bushels of wheat, five thousand bushels of oats and all the cow hides you have, for which I will pay the highest market price. e L. E. WRIGHT, jly26 2t. Oxford, N. C. Go to Brooks & Co. for o'd country vin egar. They are selling everything cheap. jly26. N. C, FRIDAY, JULY THE PRESS CONVENTION. The Boys Meet, Shake Hands and Have a Good Time. The editor was numbered with the gang of newspaper men, from the Beaufort Herald to the Brevard Hustler, that assembled in the beau tiful an i hospitable city of Greens boro, on Wednesday, tho 18th inst., where we received a most cordial welcome, becoming the guest of the city. There were all told about 70 of the "pencil pushers" present in Odd Fellows' Hall, when handsome President Erwin, of the Morganton ? Herald,, called the "boys" to order, i The efficient, energetic and affable Secretary, J. B. Sherrell, of the Con cord Times, called the roll and the Convention was ready for business. The youthful looking Mayor o!' Greensboro, Mr. Nelson, welcomed' the Press Association in a neat ad-, dress, and H. A. Lon lon, of the Chatham Record, in his usual grace-1 fnl style, responded on the part of the editors. A great deal of business was trans acted during the first morning. Some 25 new members were admit ted at this session. We were glad to find all the brethren in good spirits, and genuine brotherly love marked their intercourse with each other. We were entertained at the i i Benbow House, one of the best Ho tels in the State, and the citizens of of Greensboro were untiring in their efforts to make our visit an enjoya ble one. Wednesday afternoon the editors j were driven over the city, visiting the State Normal School building, the Female College and the finish ing mills. The latter place is a very : interesting one. The products of 52 cotton mills are finished here and made ready for the market. About ' 130 or 140 hands -&re employed. It 1 was a pleasure to us as we had never seen anything of the kind before, having no idea that goods had to go through such a process before being ' put on the market. And another! thing, we had not the faintest idea j that North Carolina Mills produced such handsome goods a.: we saw there. We were shown through the mills by our old friend D. G. Deyen ish, who was Secretary and Treas urer of the Modern Barn Co. that was established in Oxford several years ago. He is head book-keeper of the mills, and doing well. We also found our friend F. W. Carpen ter, who is well known in Oxford, as a clerk in the mills. At night Prof. Brockman's Musi cal Class gave a most enjoyable eon- cert in the courthonse complimenta- : ry to the Press Association. The orchestra was composed of young boys and ladies and the music ren dered was of a high order and of splendid execution. Claud Elam, for one so young, is deyeloping into a wonderfully fine cornetist. Prof. Brockmann, upon the violin, has a splendid touch and with the drawing of his bow he draws out a fine inter pretation of Mendelsson. Miss Brockraann is no less a fine perform er on the piano. Miss Mabel Hill rendeied a vocal solo in a very sweet manner. She has a very soft toned, melodious voice, sweet in ex pression; and in fact a sweet young lady. She graciously responded to an enthusiastic encore. Tho enter tainment was highly appreciated by the entire Association. J. R. Webster, of Webster's Week ly, Reidsville, tho orator of the oc casion, delivered a very patriotic address upon "North Carolina, God Bless her." The close of his oration was as follows : "It is a fact that North Carolina's great war Governor stood almost alone in appreciating the magnitude of the struggle from the beginning. The. result was that Noith Carolina troops were the best clothed in the field. Had all the Southern Govern ors possessed the practical wisdom of Zebulon B. Vance our attempt to change the map of America might have succeeded. North Carolina owes it to herself to perpetuate his memory in imperishable stone. I point to him as a typical North Carolinian, the colossal figure around which the history of our dear old State revolved for thirty years. In victory and defeat, in sun shine and shadow, he was our leader, counsel lor and elder brother. All the pow ers of his gigantic intellect and noble heart were consecrated to North Carolina. What Washington was to America, Vance was to us. 'First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his country men.' "History must speak the truth or it is not history. All honor to the loyal sons of North Carolina and the 26, 1895. noble women who have consecrated their powers to the patriotic work of writing history." President Erwin's annual address was full of admirable suggestions, which the Association fully recogs nized. Major Hale, the able and distin guished editor of the Fayette vi lie Observer, read a most valuable pa per on newspapers in State history, which was well received. Editor Joe Doniels, the able champion of free silver, through the News and Observer, read a paper on "The Re lations of the Editor to Partisan Poll tics." He said the editor must have his own opinions and fixed princi ples and should suffer political death rather . than depart from what he thinks is right. E-litor W. C. Dowd, of the Char lotte News, read on interesting paper on "The Responsibility and Ii-tfluence of Editorial Utterances," speaking of the phenominal growth of newspapers in North Carolina aud paying a high tribute to the State press. During Thursday's session a tele gram was received by the Secretary from Dr. Blacknall, the man who has made more Colonels, Majors and Captains, than was attained on the field during the war, inviting the Association to be the guest of Col. J. S. Carr at the Atlantic Hotel, Morehead City, Saturday and Sun day, which was accepted. The editors also visited the noted Keely Institute, so ably presided over by our former townsman, Mr. W. H. Osborn, and witnessed the patients undergoing treatment. The members of the Press gang enjoyed a erood joke gotten off by a farmer. He was in front of the Benbow House and saw so many of us with blue badges on, he wanted to know "if there was an Alliance meeting going on." The annual election of officers re sulted as follows : President, C. L. Ste vens, Southport Leader; Vice Presidents, W. F. Marshall, Gasto nia Gazette, W. W. McDairmid, Lumberton Robesonian, W. K. Ja cobson, Washington Progress; Sec retary, John B. Sherrell, Concord Times,: Orator, W. F. Dowd, Char lotte News; Poet, Hal W. Ayer, Caucasian; Historian, J. D. Kerno dle, Alamance Gleaner; Delegates to National Editorial Association, Joseph P. Caldwell, W. C. Erwin, John P. C arr, J. W. Bailey; Alter nates, W. W. McDiarmid, Josephus Daniels, J. N. Robinson, D. J. Wi chard. Maj. E. J. Hale read an interest ing history of the "Doings of the Press for the Past Year." Tho sec retary was on motion directed to arrange for the transportation ofthe editors to the Atlanta Exposition at some date to be agreed upon. The matter of establishing a central bureau of advertising to take charge of all foreign advertising for the State was discussed at length and a committee of seyen, with Josephus Daniels as chairman, was appointed to confer and report at the next meeting. The banquet at the Benbow House Thursday night, at 11 o'clock was an elegant affair, and many of the prominent citizens of Greensboro joined the editors in the feast of not only something to eat, but in wit, humor and solid facts, as flowed from the mouths of various speakers on the different toasts. Maj. E. J. Hale, of the Fayette ville Observer, vas toast-master, and the first toast was: "Our Churches and Beneyolent Orders," responded to by Hon. John Gray Bynuin. Mr. Chas. H. Ireland spoke on "Our Mer cantile Interests," Dr. Chas. D. Mc- Iver on "Our Educational Iustitu tions," Col. Jas. E. Boyd on "Our Railroads and Hotels," Mr. Moses H. Cone on "Our Manufacturing Enterprises," and Col. R. M. Doug las on "The Greensboro Bar." Some of the toasts responded to by editors were : "North Carolina as a Health Resort"' Hal W. Ayer; "The Reward of the Editor," Josephus Daniels; "North Carolina's Industrial Fu ture," W. F. Marshall. The speech es of Col. Boyd and Mr. Marshall were specially bright, and that of Mr. Cone singularly suggestive and entertaining. All the speeches were of a high order, showing that Greensboro as well as the Association had good speakers. Friday morning some forty odd of the editors left for Morehead City to enjoy sailing, fishing, and cleanse themselves in the serf of old ocean, dead bent on solid pleasure and they certainly had it. We enjoyed Satur day and Sunday at thismest delight ful North Carolina summer resort and must say the Atlantic Hotel is a big institution, no seaside resort North or South surpassing it. The owneis deserve great credit for its vast improvements and the manage ment the thanks of its guest for the many good things supplied for their comfort, especially their appetites. To Col. J. S. Carr we are under last ing and especial obligations he is ever busy trying to please and make all happy. Of Dr. Blacknall and the big Atlantic ocean we will say but little; much has been said and writ ten of both, and it's only left to us to say, no Blacknall and ocean, no hotel. At tho session in Greensboro M. Cone mado a proposition to give five hundred dollars towards defraying the expenses of Mr. J. P. Caldwell, editor of Charlotte Observer and for gold standard, and Mr. Josephus Daniels, editor of News & Observer and for free silver, to Mexico to in vestigate the workings of silver and make a report on their return. Mr. Cone is a goldbug and he made the proposition in good faith believing the trip wonld benefit his side. At the meeting of the convention in the parlors of the Atlantic Hotel the proposition was declined. The following resolution was unan imously adopted: Resolved, That our thanks are due and are hereby tendered to Colonel Julian S. Carr for the courtesies so pleasantly extended to us by him du ring our delightful visit to North Carolina's popular resort." On Sunday in company with a large number of editors we attended church at the oVl town of Beaufort, and heard a splendid sermon in the Methodist church delivered by Dr Beaman, one of the distinguished divines of that denomination. We returned home Monday "night and although we had a most delight ful trip we were glad to get back home and mingle again with the good people of Oxford and Granville county. We really love to meet with the brethren of the association and hope to grasp each one of their warm hands at the Atlanta Exposition. We thank the Southern and A. & N. C. Railroad authorities for court esies extended to us. GRANVILLE SUPERIOR COURT. Judge Starbuck PresidingA Disgus ting Case consumes three Days. Granville Superior Court opened on Monday last his Honor Judge Starbuck presiding, who owing to his youthful appearance looks less like a Judge than any man we ever saw on the bench. His charge to the errand jury was appropriate, in the clear exposition of the law, and delivered in an easy manner. He is giving general satisfaction as he is fair in his rulings. The grand jury is composed of the following persons: J. A. Norwood, foreman, J. W. Oakley, J. G. Bow ling, W. T. Allen, J. B. Pruitt, T.B. Daniel, J. T. Morton, M. M. Jack son, J. W. Harris, J. W. Bowling, Ii. D. Brooks, S. 1). McFarland, W. D. Renn, Henderson Williford, J. M. Meadows, Erastus Mitchell, J. E. Moss, J. H. Duncan. J. P. Buch anan has charge of jury. Sheriff Cozart and his assistants are on hand and prompt in the dis charge of their respective duties in connection with the court. The celebrated vulgar and obscene O'Bryan-Beck ease occupied the time of the court three days. It was a case in which W. T. O'Bryant was charged with seduction of Emma Beck. He is about 23 years and she is 17 and was present in court with an infant in her arms. The evidence in the case was too disgusting to be evenheaid let alone being published and is said to have been one of the most nauseating trials that ever dis . graced our docket, and we are glad we did not hear the witnesses testify. Able counsel were employed on both sides. N. B Cannady, Judge R. W. Winston and Crawford Biggs represented O'Bryant. Besides So licitor Bynum Major John W. Gra ham, A. A, Hicks, Paul C. Graham and R. B. Boone represented the State. The speeches were, very able and eloquent. Those of Solicitor Bynum and Mr. R. B. Boone were complimented very highly by the large crowd present. There was considerable zeal man ifested by counsel on both sides and warmly contested. Seldom has a case attracted more attention in the public mind. There was an eager throng all the time in the court room listening at the horrid details. Some law should be made to pre vent admission of the public, partic ularly the young, from listening to the evidence in such demoralizing trials. The jury brought in a verdict of acquittal. We hope never to hear of another such case in Granville. State vs William Royster; larceny; guilty. State vs Benny Hester; simple as sault; guilty. State vs Eddie Jeffreys, assault with attempt to commit rape on Mrs. Carrie Mathews near Lewis' is occu pying the attention of the court as we go press. $1.00 PER ANNUM. GOING TO ND FRO.
