The preacher, the teacher, the editor faith, hope and charity these three but the greatest of these charity. We are glad to hear that our old countyman, Mr. Ed. Crews, now of RichmouJ, Va., who has been quite sick, is rapidly improving. The question now arises what member of the Whittling Club had his picture taken Monday in the cir cus at Henderson in a tragic atitude? Hasten good Pops to be wise ; Awake ! Be men ! Open your eyes ! Down with Fusion and Butlerites ; Be a Democrat and join the whites ! Capt. T. M. Washington, of Wil son, and a hustling warehouseman of that beautiful town, spent a few days with his old friends in Oxford this week. The tendency in every business is toward concentration. It is es pecially so in business where com petition is limited and monopoly is possible. The Southern Tobacco Journal, of Winston, had in last week's issue a good picture of Mr. W. A. Adams, President of the Oxford Tobacco Board of Trade. Lottie Taborn, colored, who lives near Providence, had her house and contents burned on Thursday night last. She did not save a thing ex cept what she had on. How can the people and busi ness men expect to have a live paper in Oxford if they do not patronize it? Give us your patronage as we will give you value received. Despite the dry weather our warehouses had good breaks of to bacco Tuesday and good prices were realized on all grades. But few wrappers are being offered. Mr. Wooding, who has just lo cated on our market, is now in the swim with the strong brigade of to bacco buyers. He is a lively bidder, and will be felt on our market. A good cow for sale. A i Jersey Cow with young calf, giving 3 gal lons of milk per day with good at tention. Also a young Jersey Cow nearly dry.

Business men and warehouse men will do well to remember the fact that the Public Ledger has 3,000 readers in Granyille and its columns are just the place to put an advertisement if you want trade. Mr. B E. Parham,of Greenville, son of Mr. W. A. Parham, was hap pily married in Durham last week to Miss Ora JoDes, a fascinating young lady who has many friends in Ox ford. We extend our congratula tions. "I tell you the printers are com ing." said a gentleman at the post office a few days ago. "Ed Jones, who has charge of the Orphans' Friend, made 40 barrels of corn this year and earned every grain of it, cob and all." In Illinois a decision has been given by the courts that when a house is haunted by a little insect known as "cimexlectuarius," and fond of bedsteads, in case the tenant moves out the landlord cannot col lect the rent. The father of Mrs. H. M. Shaw died at Jackson, Northampton coun ty, week before last, and Mr. Shaw also mourns the death of an uncle. The sympathy, of our community go out to them in the hour of their sore bereavement. Col John C. Tripton's Democrat, published at Rutherfordton, is one 3rear old and a real giant in the cause of Democracy, as well as being one of the best weeklies in Western Caro lina. We tip our hat to the gallant Tipton with the hope that his shad ow may never grow less in that jim sligger that fits him so well. The newspaper is your friend in spite of you. It helps to build up the community that supports you. When the day comes to any people that the newspapers are dead, the people are on the edge of the grave, with nobody left to write the epi taph. Do you contribute to the newspaper ? Louisburg Times. On Thursday night last Messrs. J. W. Davis and W. T. Wheeler, who live near Hargrove, sustained a heavy loss by fire. They had their crops of tobacco in one house and found it about 10 o'clock in flames and saw it all go up in smoke. The fire caught from a stove pipe in a shed room in which a negro boy slept. There was no insurance. number fifty-four. " ivAvcuutKa. Mrs. J. O. Bunn and son are on a visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Burnett at Wilton. Mr. H. M. Shaw can now devote his sweet tenor yoice to singing "Bye-baby-bye" to a bright eyed girl. Mrs. G. A. Critcher, with a com petent assistant, is now prepared to do dress making at her home next to the residence of Mr. J. D. Brinkley, on High Street. That clever merchant and great ladysman, Mr. S. C. Lyon, of Creed moor, was in Oxford Monday and his happy countenance lit up our sanc turn for a short time. It is said he is about to resign as the old moss back president of the bachelor's club of his thriving village, and by right Mr. Gid Hail will take his place, with Mr. James Parrott as vice-president. The New York campaign is one of peculiar interest. In addition to all the political names heretofore familliar to the public, they have the Goo Goos, the Bad Bads along with three Democratic tickets, the regular Republican ticket, the Prohibition, Socialist, People's Good Government, Independent Citizens' Organization and Independent County Organization ticket. Dropped Dead in Church. Mr. B. M. Privett, one of Golds boro's most honorable business men, dropped dead in the Episcopal church on Sunday while attending divine worship. The' editor knew him well and can truly say that a true man and devoted christian has been gath ered home. The Argus says he died where he went every Sunday and at every service to worship in the church of his faith, from which his funeral, largely attended and with many floral offerings, was held Mon day afternoon at four o'clock. Did Not Die Until Friday. It will be seen from our Lyon cor respondent that we were in error as to the time of the death of Mr. James Lyon, one of Dutchville's most bes loved citizens. He did not pass be neath the shadows until Friday, and was buried with Masonic honors on Sunday afternoon in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing neigh bors and friends. We admired hin very much and feel that such a good man must have entered the "shining portals" and is now numbered with the "saints in glory." The Great Show. We attended Sells Bros.great show at Henderson along with some 200 more from Oxford, and can say it was the cleanest and best circus we ever witnessed. We had the pleasure of meeting America's great est clown, the famous John Lowlow, who is very popular with the South ern people and has many friends in this State. The crowd was the larg est we ever saw under a tent in North Carolina, being estimated at 10,000. While in Henderson we enjoyed the privilege of breaking bread with that prince of newspaper men, Thad Manning, of the Gold Leaf, and his estimable ladv. Colored Baptist State Convention. The Colored Baptist State Conven tion completed its work on Saturday and all the members left for their re spective homes no doubt full of praise for our colored citizens who did everything in their power to make their stay in Oxford a pleasant one. Two of the great colored politi cians, ex-Congressman Cheatham, of Halifax, and James Young, of Ral eigh, were in attendance and the leading white Pops of Oxford along with that glittering orb, Rev. Star vation Bill Royster, hovered close around them when on the streets. They were all hail fellows well met, as they were all in the Fusion boat. Death of firs. W. J. PItchford. We are called' upon to chronicle the death of this good woman, which occurred on Tuesday morning about 7 o'clock. She had been a great suf ferer for several years, which she bore with great fortitude, being as she was an exemplary member of the Presbyterian church. She was a kind and affectionate wife and moth er, doing all she could to make her home a happy one. She was a good neighbor, ever ready to oblige as well as to extend aid and comfort to the afflicted before the hand of dis ease prostrated her on a bed of sick ness. She leaves behind to mourn her demise a loving husband and three children, two boys and one daughter, to whom we extend our sympathy. The funeral, took place from the Presbyterian church on Wednesday afternoon, conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. Ernest Thacker, after which all that was mortal of her was placed in Elmwood cemetery to await the resuirection morn. v f K Croup is a terror to young mothers. To post them coneoncermns: tne nrst symp toms, and treatment is the object of this item. The first indication of croup is horsene&s. Ia a child who is subject to croup it may be taken as a sure sign of the approach of an attack. Following this hoarseness is a peculia, rough cough. If Chamberlain's Cough remedy is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse or even after the rough cough has appeared it will prevent the" attach. It has never been known to fail. 25 and 50 cent bot tles for sale by J. G. Hall Kye, Oats, Clover and Grass- Seeds at STEDMAivo. sepwf-w. Rev. Thos. Dixon, Jr., in His Famous Lecture on flonday Night Last. Rev. Thos. Dixon, Jr., of New York, arrived in Oxford on Monday, accompanied by Mrs. Dixon and lectured in the Opera House, on "Backbone," to a highly apprecia tive audience. He was introduced in a few well chosen remarks by Mr. H. M. Shaw, who acquitted himself with much credit, being as he is, one of our coming young lawyers. Mr. Dixon, after a few preliminary remarks, entered into his subject and adduced many reasons why peo pie should have opinions of their own, and have the backbone to stand up to them regardless of pub lic sentiment, whether of a moral, religious or political nature. In the course of his most excellent lecture he brought to bear many illustra tions to prove that the great incen tive to backbone was will power to carry out ones convictions in what ever he believes to be right, regard less of the cry of the rabble who seek to pull him down. Mr. Dixon is a born orator and we do not believe there is a man in tire lecture field today that can cope with this distinguished young. Tar Heel. He is a brother of the accomplished Mrs. J. Ernest Thacker, of our town, and we would be glad to have him visit Oxford again. Breezy Time. The Opera House on Friday night held a good audience to witness the laughable program performed by this company. The performers met with rounds of applause and were encored sev eral times. While there were some objectionable features, in the main it was a splendid show of its kind, full of mirth and wit. The music, dancing and contortionists were of a high order. A Bright Girl. Leila I. Grissom, of Grissom, daughter of Mr. A. T. Grissom, is eight years old and weighs 63 pounds. She has been to school five months, studies Intermediate Arithmetic, is in Federal Money, fifth reader, Ele mentary Geography, Harrington's Speller, physiology, studies music, has learned to play duets, has read through the Old and New Testament, Pilgrim's Progress, writes beautiful letters to the Sun, has 18 squares of a Log Cabin quilt and will soon com plete it, and reads every Public Ledger she can get so we are in formed. Fire at Stovall. On Saturday night the storage house of Mr. John W. Stovall was burned, along with his hen house and chickens. The fire started about 19 o'clock, consuming some 300 bushels of wheat and oats. 1,000 pouads of meat, several barrels of flour, and 10 bee hives that sat on the outside of the building. His dwelling house caught four times, but by hard work it was finally saved, along with another outbuild ing that caught several times. It is not known how the fire origi nated, but is supposed to have been the work of rats, who must have gotten hold of a match and set it on fire. There was no insurance, and the loss is $600.00 or $800 00. Judge Graham In Carteret. The following from the Beaufort Herald shows what kind of impres sion our excellent townsman has made in holding his first term of court in Carteret county where the great insurance case came up for trial: The charge of Judge Graham to the grand jury impressed all that the Judge is a fine and able 'lawyer. It will be remembered that Judge Gra ham was appointed by Gov. Carr to fill the place made vacant by the res ignation of Judge Winston and like other appointments by the Governor, it shows wisdom in the selection. Judge Graham believes in being at wurk all the time. He is very prompt and is always found in his place to the minute. He realizes the fact that the people pay the expenses while the court is unnecessarily de layed. Synod of North Carolina. This able body of Presbyterians met at Fayetteville last week. Dur ing the year the church had ad vanced rapidly in the State. The statistican report showed the following facts : Four ministers died during the last year; whole number of Presbyterian ministers in the State, 144; number of church es, 339; candidates for the ministry, 77; communicants in the State, 30, 292; contributions for all causes, $215,206; members added to the Church during the last year, J,yU4; churches organized, 7; evangelists in the State. 15: missionaries in for eign fields, 6; number of counties with no Presbyterian church in tnem, 20. Memorial sketches of the four ministers who died were read. The ministers were Rev. A. L. Crawford, Rev. T. U. Faucette. Rev. Robert Burwell, D. D., Rev. J. P. McPher- son. For a pain in the side or chest there is nothing so good as a piece of flannel dam pened with Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bound on over the seat of pain.

Too flany Railroads has been a Draw back to the Town. I think Oxford already has one railroad too many. It would have been better for the town if we had only had the road to Henderson. The Oxford & Clarksville road has cost us a large amount of money, and has drawn from Oxford a large amount of trade. It will eost us another heavy tax to complete the road to the Henderson & Durham road. This road might be some little help to Ox ford, but I believe it will pay our town far better to use the money it will take to build this new road in improving the country roads leading into Oxford, These roads get so bad, especially in the winter, that thous ands of dollars worth of trade goes to other markets because tne roads are so bad the people cannot get over them. I would rather pay tax to improve public roads than for almost any other purpose. The roads as they now are are a public disgrace, as well as a cause of heavy loss to the people. A wealthy Northern man built a fine house in the country ,four miles from Asheville, and scattered a lot of money in the neighborhood. A man of the community said to him: "We wish more of you Northern peo ple would come and settle among us." He answered: "Make roads so we can travel and we will." The public roads of Buncombe county are kept in as good or better condition than most of the streets of Oxford are. Fifty convicts are kept at work on them all the time. If the roads around Oxford cannot be im proved any other way I delieve it would pay the business men of the town to raise annually a certain amount of money to be expended on the roads. It will pay better to do this than to build another railroad. Citizen. Why She Blushed. Walter Sadler was walking with his best girl by a lumber yard the other night, and all at once she be gan to blush, and Walter said my darling why do those roseate tint ings ensconce, themselves in the opulent luxuriance of that peach bloom beauty, found on the stain less surface of thy parian alabaster cheeks ? She replied it was because all that lumber was undressed. Walter hid his face behind a nickle. lent up against a zephyr and wept Wilson Mirror.' Talk up for Oxford. Make it a point at all times to talk nn vour town. Soeak a erood word r - i. a for her various institutions, her doc tors, lawyers, merchants, paper, etc., on every occasion. in tms way much can be accomplished. Some towns are seriously damaged by the everlasting croaking of the citizens, while there are others greatly bene fitted by the good words spoken for them bv citizens. Which plan do you follow? The chroaic croaker is a nuisance, a barnacle upon the community, a detriment to its best interests and ought to be abated. Talk About Fusion. The now-vou-see it and now-you don't talk about Fusion by leading Republican and Populist politicians deceives nobody. They are going to fuse again without doubt unless somebody should give them an hy podermic injection of principle. The only thing mat troubles them is this: Can they fool the people all the time? They know they have fooled them once, xhey are a uttie arraia mat the people really believe in some principle and will not follow them into another betrayal. That is all this Rep and Pop hubbub means. News and Observer. Stabs His own Town in the Back. If Dr. A. J. Dalby, a hide-bound, miserable Pop, did tell a stranger a few days ago that Oxlord was a dead town it has been fully demonstrated the past two years to be the livest tobacco market in this State or Vir ginia, and we are proud to say has plenty of money to pay our farmers for all the tobacco that can be crowd ed into our town. This is a dead sure fact, if Chief Demagogue Butler does say that Oxford is the third meanest town in the State. If our town was so unfortunate as to be composed of such material as the doctor is it would in truth be the deadest town in the world today. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria. When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria. When she had Children, she gave them Castoria. Capcions Critics. The News & Observer says: "The thorough going Populist is never hannv unless he is miserable. He must have something to kick against or he has no occupation, in tnis week's Progressive Farmer, a cor respondent signing himself Henry Martin, and trom Wilkesboro, criti cizes Chief Marshal Patterson be cause he selected a number ot his cousins as assistant marshals at the State Fair. It is generally known that a marshal at the fair pays his own expenses to and from his home - . m 1 and while in Kaleigh buys nis own rnsfitte. hires the horse he rides, and loses time from his business, all in order to help a great enterprise." i 1 I People That Move with the Times They go Forward, of Course, Dr. Sanderford, of Creedmoor, was in Oxford Friday.

Kronueimeti, oct25. next door to Public Ledger office Tne Kind or Land to ISuy, I retently saw a small farm that ten years ago was very poor land, and was regarded as almost worth less, which now is very valuable and yields good crops. I saw corn grow ing that will yield from twenty to thirty bushels per acre. A good farmer bought this poor tract of land. He began at once to improve it by applying home made fertilizers and by sowing clover, peas and grasses. He is making a good living; he supports a large family; he has built a good dwelling house and other good outbuildings. It is now a very desirable farm. Two things have given him success. First, he is a good farmer. He knows how to make good crops and improve bis land every year. Second, he bought land that dan be improved. It has a solid sub-soil that will hold the ma nures that are applied. This is the kind of land to buy. Land on which manures will not only make one crop but will remain to help make the second or third crop and get better all the time by proper rotation of crops, but many farmers of this secj tion are making a mistake. I hey are leaving land that can be easily and constantly improved and are seeking light, porus land that can never be much improved. To make good crops on this light, open land, heavy applications of fertilizers must be applied to each crop. All the fer tilizer not taken up by one crop runs through this open land and but little or nothing remains for following crops. It is true that some ot this light land will make a brighter article of tobacco that will sell for more money per pound, but while they get a little more money they lose in the perma nent improvement of lands and in raising grain, grasses and stock which are the real basis of success in farming. A farmer that has plenty of all these does not need much money. While on land with solid sub-soil he cannot make as fine tobacco he can make more pounds to the acre, and can get money enough to meet his demands if he has plenty of hog and hominy. After all this kind of a farmer is best off. Old Farmer. BAKINU POWDSR. JIBsoiafeTy Pure A cream of tartar baking powder. Hiehest o all in leavening strength. Latest U. S. Govern ment Food Report.
