The death of Mrs. Winnie Wil liams, who was the daughter of Mr. Addicus Morris, ot the Wilton sec tion of Granville county, and wife of R. S. Williams, Esq., of Oxford, which took place Saturday afternoon was a sad eyent and has created a void in this community that is diffi cult if uot impossible to fill. Her life was adorned by a resplendent cluster of noblest virtues. She was about 36 years of age and leaves behind a sorely bereaved hus band and one only daughter. The deceased was a consistent and earnest member of the Methodist church whose christian walk was close to her Sayior. Her faith was sublime, her life was upright, her zeal was great but tempered with knowledge. She showed her faith by her works. Hers was a consecrated life of ser vice in behalf of the Master and she no doubt has had an abundant en trance throusrh the portals of the pearly gates to dwell forever in that "land of pure delight where saints immortal reign." The funeral services took place at the Methodist church and were largely attended for she had a le gion of friends and admirers. Her illness was brief but full of sugges tion of the value of true religion as the soul passes through the deep shadow of the valley of death. The remarks of Rev. Mr. Hurley were pertinent and full of comfort to the sorrowing relatives of the deceased. The pall bearers were Messrs. Gra ham Hunt, E. T. White, W. B. Bal- lou, W. 1. Wilkinson, S. H. Smith and W. A. Bobbitt. Immediately after the services at the church the remains in charge of undertaker Joe Hall left for Banks Chapel, followed by a large number of friends along with the grief strick en husband and daughter. The editor attended the burial services, and on arrival of the funeral cortege at the church we found a large num ber of sympathetic friends present to participate in the last sad rites of the burial ot a pure cnristia,n woman. They were conducted by Rev. J. B. Hurley, who further made a few touching remarks at the open grave which brought tears to the eyes of many present. We extend to the be reaved family our warmest sympa thies in the great affliction that has fallen upon them. We Miss Her. For nearly two years Mrs. Winnie Williams lived next door neighbor to us. We have never lived by one more quiet, pleasant and kind, but God has taken her to dwell with Him in Heaven where she is free from the sufferings and troubles of life and where she. is basking in the smiles of Him whom she loved so sincerely here on earth. Her meek, earnest, consistent christian life, her tri umphant death, make an argument in favor of the reality of the chris tia-n religion that is unanswerable. I recall a beautiful incident in her life. During a revival meeting at her church I found at mv door a note to this effect: "Mr. Stradley, in the meeting now m progress at our church we are praying for a gracious work of grace in our midst; that christians may be strengthened and sinners saved. We ask that you wil help us pray for this blessing. Respectfully, Winnie Williams." A. short while before her death ' entered the sick room, one recog nized me and holding out her hand said in a whisper, "Mr. Stradley, good-bye." I felt indeed that it was a good bye for I was leaving to go to an appointment and I realized that I should meet our kind neigh borno more on earth. God be thank ed for such a friend, such a neigh bor, such a christian. May God comfort and sustain the bereayed husband and daughter and all the relatives. J. A. Stradley.

October Wedding On Wednesday morning, October 2, the home of our kind friend, Mr. H. A. Stem, near Stem, was the occasion of a happy event. His daughter, Miss Roxie, was happily married to Mr. L. M. Crymes, the efficient agent of the Southern at Stem, by Rev. Mr. Allred in the presence of many warm friends. Shortly after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Crymes left on the train for a tour of some of the important cities. Uur best wishes go with them life's journey. in Lodge of Royai Arcanum. On Monday night A. M. Powell. of Raleigh, organized a lodge of Rova) Arcanum in the law office of Manor S. Royster with the following offi cers: fast itegent. James Y. Paris: Regent, John T. Britt: Vice-Regent, S. Hall: Secretary, F. W. Han cock; Collector. B. S. Royster; Treas urer, S. W. Cowper; Chaplain, S. W. Parker; Guide, J. C. Davis; Warden, H. G. Williams; Sentry, W. H. Smith. Prominent Colored Man. John Williamson, one of the brightest colored men in the State, and editor of the State Republican m Raleigh was in Oxford Wednes day canvassing for his paper. As he is a straight Republican and takes no fusion in his, of course the two Bills, Rev. Starvation Bill and his bosom chum Bill Crews did all they could to keep him from getting sub scribers. Revenue Receipts. Chief Clerk Womack, of the re venue collector's office, says the Sep ember collections were $96,803. For the first quarter of this fiscal year, ending September 30th, they were $270,711. This was 15 per cent, greater than tor the same quarter last vear. The increase in last year's collections over those during the previous year was also lo per cent. It Takes the Cake. The bed rock upon which the unparallel success of the Oxford Market is based, is on highest aver ages, rair dealing, prompt attention, and prompt returns, practicing no deception, "has been the- golden chain of enduring and unfailing confidence" which has resulted in the crowning success of the Oxford Mar ket. He Wants to Lead. It is positively asserted by a man who claims to know that Senator Butler desired to lead all the silver men in this State, irrespective of party, and to be the head of the "silver party" in this State; that he felt his way in this matter, and has not eyen yet, perhaps, abandoned the idea. Change In the Bank. Mr. J. B. Roller has resigned as as sistant cashier of the Bank of Gran ville, and will devote his entire time to insurance. The affable Henry Hunt, who was for a long time cash ier of the Bank of Oxford succeeds Mr. Roller, and we are frank to say no better selection could have been made. Cotton Mills-in One Family. It is said that at the present moment no less than 16 cotton mills' are in course of erection in this State. The Holt family must be the the largest mill owner, as it controls 16 mills, 13 of which are in Alamance county. The Worth family, of Ran dolph, probably ranks next. ! The Ones to Patronize. Stand by and patronize the bus iness men and warehouses that seek your trade throjgh your county pa per, as they help sustain it by their patronage. When you wish to buy or sell consult our columns and give the houses that advertise m the Pub lic Ledger the first showing. Heavy Loss By Fire. We regret to learn of the heavy loss our old Morgan, of time friend, John G. Vance, has sustained. On Wednesday morning his pack house containg his crop of tobacco, ' wheat and oats was consumed by fire. The fire was caused by a de fective stove pipe. Theve is no medicine so often needed in every home and so admirably adapted to the purposes for which it is int-n.ed, as Chamberlain's Pain Balm. HaFrily a week passes but. some member of t;e famiJv hs need of it. A toothache or hetdache may be cured by it. A touch of rheumatism o neuralgia quieted. The severe pmnot a burn or scam promptly re lieved and the sore healed in much less time than when medicine has to be sent, for. A sprain may be promptly treated before inflammation sets in, which in sures a cure in about one-third of the time otherwise required. Cuts and bruises should receive immediate treat ment before the parts become swollen, which can only be done when Pain Balm is kept at hand. A sore throat may be cured before it becomes serious. A troublesome corn may be removed by ap plying it twice a day for a week or two. A lame back may be cured and several days of valuable time saved or a pain in the Ide or chest relieved without paying a doctor Mil. Procure a 50 cent bottle at once and you will never regret It.
