Oxford was full of tobacco Tues- T "1 " 1 1 iay, ana our six warenouses ana ex cellent corps of buvers had their hands full. The boys were equal to the demands and paid top prices for all grades. The break was a com mon one, only a small nuantitv of rood tobacco being offered. We really hope that which is being of fered now is not a fair sample of the crop. The Pops will now say, "we done it," on account of so many States eroing itepuoiican, when, in tact, they are not "in it" in any of the elections of Tuesday.

Mr. Editor: The colored people of Oxford through your columns re turn thanks to the white citizens and sincerely appreciate the sub stantial aid and friendly sympathy given them during their entertain ment of the recent Colored Baptist State Convention. We acknowledge in a particular way the generous hospitality of our fellow townsman, Mr. J. 1. nail, who cared tor our two distinguished white visitors, Prof Chas. F. Meserve, President of Shaw University, and Dr. H. L. Moores house, Field secretary of the Baptist Home Mission bociety. It may be well to add that the del egates in convention expressed their delight at their reception and treat ment, and prior to adjournment passed resolutions expressive of their feelings in this respect, but it was deemed fitting and proper that simi lar expressions be made also on the part of the colored people themselves and especially the congregation of the First Baptist Church.

All that is needed Is a mild dose of Ayer's Pills to restore the regular movement ot the bowels, and nature will do the rest. They keep the system in perfect order. Henry Wilson, the postmaster at Welsh ton, Florida, says he cured a case of diar rhoea of long: standing in six hours with one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Darrhoea Remedy. What a pleasant surprise that must have been to the sufferer. Such cures are not unusual with this remedy. In many instances only one or two doses are required to give permanent relief, it can always ds ae pended upon. When reduced with water it is pleasant to take. For sale by J. Q Hall.

David Oestreicher Died Sudden ly Yesterday Morning. - The Charlotte Observer of Satur day says: , "Mrs. David Oestricher died yester day morning at a quarter after 7 o'clock at Mrs. M. J. Brady's, of fever. The death was a peculiarly sad one. She was taken sick about four weeks ago, but was at no time considered very ill. Thursday night she seemed bright, and -yesterdav morning when she woke about 6 o'clock said to her sister, Mrs. Birdie Lehman, of Oxford, who had come to be with her, that she had slept better the night before than at any time during her sickness and that she felt better; felt that she would like a lemonade. .Her sister sent for some lemons and started to make the lemonade about 7, or a little after. Mrs. Oestreicher asked for some champagne, and her sister gave it to her and went back to the lemonade. She heard her sister give a quick srasp, and loosing around saw that she was dying. She called Mrs, Brady and Mr. Oestreicher; but Mis Oestreicher died in "a few minutes, before her husband reached her side. Deceased was 21 years of age. She was from Oxford. She was married in July and came here with her hus band in August, one was very much liked by those who knew her, and her sad death is deplored. The remains were taken last night to Richmond for burial. They would haye been taken to Oxford but there is no Jewish cemetary there. The Jewish citizens of this place sent a handsome floral tribune with the remains. Mr. Oestreicher was so shocked by the death of his wife that he was ill all day yesterday. As many as three doctors were with him at one time." News of the death of this most esti mable lady was indeed a shock to our community as but few knew of her illness. Miss Lonie Kronheimer was reared in Oxford and was of a gentle, rehned nature. The death or such a lady is indeed a great loss, and we state no more than the truth when we say she was of that lovely dispo sition which called forth general ad miration. Well do we recall the interesting occasion when her marriage tooK place early in July. Many were the blessings called down upon her life as she assumed the responsible pos- sition of wife. Then life looked so bright to her relatives and friends. Little did any of us think that- she would so soon be called to the world of the Great Beyond. But God's plans are beyond the comprehension of mortals, and He m infinite mercy and wisdom takes from earth in early life those who to human eyes we would least expect to be called hence. How often too does He deem it best to take the good, noble and virtuous. His ways are indeed inscrutable. We know one thing, that what he does is right, however seemingly it may con flict with our weak and feeble judg ments. Our triend and most highly es teemed citizen, I Kronheimer, Esq and indeed his entire family have our sympathies at this hour when one of the most beloved of a happy family has been taken from them by the Angel ot death. To the greatly bereaved husband who is now in Ox ford we also extend our condolence. His loss is irreparable. The remains were taken to Peters burg for burial accompanied by the grief stricken husband, and Messrs. B. E. Kroheimer, of Oxford, and Joe Kronheimer, of New York City, brothers of the deceased, and joined at Petersburg by their sisters, Misses Carrie and Fannie Kronheimer, of Oxford. The interment took place in the Jewish Cemetery Sunday, Revs. Drs. Calish, of Richmond, and Trye, of Petersburg, conducting the service.

Panacea is believed by many who have used it to be the best water in the world. Jt has made many re markable cures in Granville after medicine had failed. A prominent citizen of the county has just been cured of a terrible case of eczema of 9 years standing thus ending his suf ferings. His disease was skillfully treated by able physicians tor years without curing him. The beauty of it is that Panacea cured him without the expense of going to the springs as in its keeping qualities it is a wonder. "Turn the rascals out" the familliar partycry may be applied to microbes as well as to men. The germs of disease that lurk in the blood are "turned out' by Ayer's Sarsparilla as effectually as nfce 01a postmasters are displaced by a new administration. 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. It affords prompt and permanent relief and if used in time will often prevent a cold from re sulting in pneumonia. This same treat ment Is a sure cure for lame back. For sale by J. G. Hall.

At Houston, Va., last Friday we witnessed the execution of Ed Hub bard for the murder of Isaac Collons. The coolness of Sheriff Carrington, together with his previous careful attention to details, robbed the exe cution of many of its horrors. The drop fell at 10:47 and 15 minutes later he was pronounced dead. This is the first execution in the county for 35 years. The prisoner made no statesments in regard to the crime, and his bodv was shipped to Rich mond Medical College. The execu tion was entirelv private, only 20! witnesses being present. JOSEPHUS.

Brassfield and Oxford United in Bonds of Love. "Love comes like a summer sigh o'er you stealing," proved to be the case with our friend and townsman, Mr. Dudley Fuller, as he was so quiet about his matrimonial intentions that only a few suspected that he had succeeded in winning the affec tions of one of Brassfield's most at tractive young ladies.

To post them conconcerning the first symp toms, and treatment is the object of this item. The first indication of croup is horseness. In 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.

Mr. i"'. ca,"eu uu vo ' J at St. Philips LU1 b one Dy one. one was uum oept om, 1844, and married to Mr. Pitchtord Nov. 17th, 18G3. She was a kind, dutiful and loving wife, devoted to her home, and no one" ever heard of an unkind word that she ever uttered to the companion of her life. She was an affectionate and faith ful mother who delighted to minister to the care and comfort or her chil dren. In her quiet, easy, unobtrusive ways, she won the esteem and con fidence of her friends. Although she connected herself with the church only about a year ago, yet she seemed always to conduct her life according to the God given principles of Christianity, and in all pain and suffering that came from long lingering illness, she was quiet and submissive to the will of her God neither murmuring nor com plaining. She leaves a husband and three children to mourn her loss, and to them our hearts go out in deep est sympathy. God knoweth what is best as he calls these dear ones into that rest which remaineth for his people, and "They're gathering homeward from ev'ry land, One by one ! One by one ! As their weary feet touch the shining strand, Yes, one by one ! They rest with their Saviour, they wait tneir crown, Their traveled-stained garments all laid down, They wait the white raiment the Lord shall prepare For all who the glory with Him shall share."
