Little Minnows of News Caught in the Stream of a Week's Happenings Dr. B. K. Hays has moved his office over Hall's drug store. Virginia and Mississippi escaped the G. O. P. round up last week. iWe call special attention to the new legal advertisement in this is sue. A Literary Club has been or ganized in Oxford with a good membership. J. F. Royster has just received a fine lot of horses and mules. Call and examine them before you buy. It is said time is money, so if you do not want to be behind time read what W. D. Lynch has to say in another co umn. We are forced again to leave out a number of eorrespondeats, but they are gocd and will be read with pleasure next week. Mr. J. T. Critcher and Miss Liz zie Bragg will be married at Tally Ho Baptist church, uext Wednesday, 20th inst, at 3 o'clock, p. m. The ladies of the Baptist church gaye a sociable at the residence of Mr. J. M. Sikes on Tuesday even ing, which proved to be a most en joyable occasion. A New York barber is sued for $5,000 for shaving off a customer's moustache bv mistake. Another il lustration of the frequent slip be tween the cup and the lip. Political bosses it is said make themselves by chance and circum stance. The born boss, if there is such a thing, exists only in the house hold that's got its first baby. South Carolina also lefuses wo man's suffrage. Ifjthe sex must en ter a state where she may influence the voting an exchange asks what's the matter with that of matrimony? The side-walk near the residence of Mr. John Booth, on Hight Street, is being greatly improved by Chief Renn, and will be highly apprecia ted by the residents of that part of town. Mr. S. C. Lyon, of Creedmoor, will bid an affectionate farewell to to the members of the Bachelor's Club, on the 2Sth, when he will be married to Miss Arizoza Davis, of the same place When you start to buy goods we advise you to seek the columns of the Public Ledger, which will tell you the houses offering the biggest bargains to the trade. Please re member this fact. Mr. Thomas Ellington, of the Dabney section, died on Monday of consumption. He was a good citi zen, neighbor, husband and father. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his demise. Invitations are out announcing the marriage of Mr. John H. Puck ett and Miss Jaennette Hobgood at the residence of the bride's mother, near Enon, Wednesday, October 20th, at o'clock. Two of Oxford's popular young colored people linked their destinies together when Albert Wilson married Alice C. Green Thursday at noon. Quito a large number of friends and relatives witnessed the ceremony. The Henderson delegation pass ed through Oxford Thursday morn ing on their return from the Exposi tion. Messrs. Conrad Walters, D. Currin and Wade Howard, of Gran ville, who joined them, returned greatly pleased with their trip. Even the most illiberal will not now assert, since the building devo ted to the colored race at Atlanta opened, the negro has no show in the South. We can say from our own knowledge that the exhibit is certainly a great credit to tne race. Cast your eyes all you men and boys who are in need of a nobby, nice fitting suit of clothes over the new message sent out to you in this issue of the Public Ledger by B. F. Kronheimer. It is money in your pocket to take it into consideration. While the G. O. P. and its ad junct, the Pops and pretended rank "pizin"' free silverites, can give three cheers over the gold standard wave engineered by Cleveland andCarlilse that swept over the country Tamma ny Hall crawled in with the Tiger ? It is said that a young man in the Trinity section went to a corn shucking a few nights ago, and de voured so many chickens that his friends became alarmed and shut him up in a bee gum to keep the minks from catching him. How about it Goobers? The big vote claimed by the our Populists friends is like the cable car described by John Chinaman: "No mulle, no horsee, no pulle, no pushee, alle sameegolike helle" into the the Republican party with the head of the black brother greased with Butler oil and gulloped down. Miss Isabella Graham, daughter of Major John Graham, of Hillsboro, and niece of Judge A. W. Graham, and Mr. Thomas Webb, of Nashville, Tenn., were married on Tuesday. Our worthy young townsman, Mr. P. C. Graham, sister of the very ac complished bride, attended nuptial. Our old friend, W. J. Badgett, of Sunset, was on the breaks Tues day, as lively as a 16-year-older, all because he has a new boy at his home that weighs 11 pounds. He will have to learn over again how to talk to a baby as he has not had any practice at his home in about eight years. The little daughter of Mr. I. H" Stegall,who was accidentally burned about the body by her clothing catch ing on fire some days ago, is getting along nicely. The Vance Guard, under com mand of Capt. Pryce Jones, accom panied by the clever Thad Manning, of the Henderson Gold Leaf, and a larere number of the clever people of Henderson, both ladies and gentle men, passed throuerh Oxford Sunday on their way to the Atlanta Exposi tion. The thick dark clouds that have hung over the best part of the United States since the Republican gold standard hurricane faintly recalls the fact that many Democratic votes were missed and ''Me own humbug Maryann" along with his pretended, free silver allies have not got the smiles off their faces j-et. Mr. H enry Knott, who is by the way one of the best judges of tobacco that rolls out of Oxfoid, said a few nights ago at the Whittling Club: "I tell you boys, the grade of tobacco that sells the best is the kind that the small boys blow through their nose." It is a fact, and struck the key note to the situation. Fine Piano Tuning. Mr. Rich ard Fergusson, tuner and repairer of pianos for M. B. Ramos & Co., Rich mond, will spend a few days in Ox ford doing the firms work and will take a limited number of tuning or repairing orders (piano or organ) outside. Can be seen at the Osborn House. All work guaranteed by Manly B. Ramos & Co. Our Town Fathers held a meet ing Monday night and transacted routine business. The street com mittee was instructed to make ar rangements about securing rock so as to continue macadamizing the streets. The government of the town is moving as smoothly as clock work, and why should it not with such men as the people have placed at the head of affairs. Our handsome young friend, Mr. Samuel Badgett, of Sunset, was married to Miss Nannie Blanton, at Stoddard, Va., on the 6th inst. Miss Blanton is well known in some parts of the county as an accom plished lady, as she has taught school in this county for several years. We are sorry te learn that we will loose Mr. Badgett, as he has decided to make Virginia his home. A Butlerite as soon as he heard that the gold standard Republican and Democrats, ably assisted by tne Pops, had swept the country must have been highly elated as he stop ped the Public Ledger forthwith. It was a terrible blow, but we hus tled around and got three in his place and the "Old Democratic Rattle Trap" still floats the Democratic banner to the breeze in spite of de feat. Give ns Your Support. The Public Ledger is without doubt a great lever in trying to build up Oxford and Granville county, and every business firm and schools seeking public patronage should be represented in our columns. Let the people know you are in business and that you would offer good ins ducements to procure their trade. If all those who are not patronizing the Public Ledger in Oxford and the county in subscriptions, adver tising and job work would do so it would enables us to publish a larger paper in Oxford. Some will not pat ronize us because we have opinions of our and dare to express them, while a few others prefer to paton age out of town places that have never done anything to build up our town, schools and the grand old county. If we do not stand by home institutions who will ? Information Wanted. We want information, and we want it bad. We wish to know who is the leader of the Democratic party in North Carolina. Durham Sun. Friend Robinson, we take pleas ure in referring you to Col. Julian S. Carr, President of State Demo cratic Clubs and who went on the bond of State Treasurer Worth, the great head of Pop-Rep ticket in the State last year, for the sum of $35, 000, and he no doubt can give you the desired information. Just such men as the gallant Col. Carr in the Democratic party causes the rank and file to exclaim: "Where are we at." Chickens Coming Home to Roost. The Abernathy Brother,three Pro fessors of Rutherford College, have gotten themselves into court and under $1,000 bond each for threa tening the life of Mr. A. C. Gunter, of that town, who was a student at Horner School in the '70s. One of the beligerant Abernathy's is the author of two books and he is now enjoying a real practical illustration of conditions expressed by the titles. "The Hell You Say," and "In a Devil of a fix" certainly fit the case of the author just now. How is This for High? Extremes always meet; this time it will be doubly so. A marriage li cense is soon to be issued to two res idents of Raleigh whose extreme ages and weight is something remarkable. The lady who is the bride to be is 22 years of age and tips the scales at 310 avoirdupois. The groom to be is 60 years of age and registers on a good pair of scales 100 pounds at the most. This couple can stand up against the world without a parallel, says the Visitor. Kye, Oats, Clover and Grass Seeds at STEDMAN'S. sepm-tf. flarriage of Mr. Samuel F. Badgett. A special to the Richmond Dis patch from Farmville, Va., dated November 9th, says: Miss Nannie Thornton Blanton and Mr. Samuel Fleming Badgett, of Ox ford, N. C, were married last Wed nesday at the home of the bride's fa ther, Dr. James M. Blanton, a few miles from Farmville, in Cumber land. The parlors were artistically dec orated in autumn leaves and ever greens, reminding one of some syl van bower. As the soft strains of the wedding march came from the organ, under the skilled touch of Mrs. J. Wyatt Crute, of Worsham, the groom entered the room with his best man, Mr. Simeon D. Walton, of Farmville. The bride followed, lean ing on the arm of the maid of honor, who was Miss Rosa Elizabeth Blan ton, also of this place. The bride was exquisitely attired in a dress of layendar silk, and car ried a large bouquet of white chrys anthemums. The maid of honor wore a handsome gown .of green crepe. The ribbons were stretched by Misses Mabel Vaughan and Grace Blanton, little nieces of the bride. The ceremony was solemnly and impressively pertormed by the Rev. Dr. Richard Mcllwaine, president of Hampden-Sidney College, assisted by Rev. Dr. Letcher Smith, of Cum berland. The happy couple received con gratulations from a host of friends and relatives. The bride was the re cipient of many beautiful presents. At noon dinner was served in genus ine old Virginia style. Still 'a Ringing. "The associations clustering around the wedding morn are pleasant to contemplate. It breaks upon loving hearts like a gentle spring upon the flowers of earth. The world may love a lover, but whenever a mar riage is to take place all the people are interested." The marriage bells continue to ring out in Granville. On Wednes day at 2 o'clock Rev. J. W. Atkinson united in marriage, at Tar River, Mr. Elvis Mangum, of Wilton, and Miss Etta Harris, the lovely daugh ter of Mr. Isaac Harris. As soon as the ceremony was over the wedding party left for the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Mangum, where a bountiful and elegant supper was spread in honor of the event. May peace, joy and happiness ever be with them. On Thursday morning at 11 o'clock the pleasant home of Mr. R. T. Crews, of Tar River, was the scene of a beautiful home wedding at which Dr. J. J. Bryan, of Stem, joined heart and hands with the at-, tractiye Miss Lela Crews, Rev. G. B. Perry tieing the gordian knott. Shortly after the marriage Dr. and Mrs. Bryan took the train for the At lanta Exposition followed by the best wishes of a host of friends for future happiness. Hard to Beat. The firm of Long Bros, has in a short time come to the front as one of our safest and most reliable busi ness houses. They are selling large quantities of goods at a close mar gin, thus giving their customers the advantage of many good bargains. Their stock of Dress Goods, of the latest weaves and styles are hard to beat. They can fill your bill in no -tionz, trimmings and also in ladies fine shoes.

Long Bros, are hard to beat in offering bargains to all who seek thenl. Up Among the Rafters." The team that is now in command of the large Minor warehouse are verily hustlers in its broadest sense, and it is a hard matter to down a Knott or a Cooper, as well as to side track such a clever man as Alf Hob good. If you do you will have to dig "down among the roots" or go "up among the rafters" to do it and besides stop him from talking. Rufe Knott and S. W. Cooper are as clever as you make them and are always on the lookout to reach the top notch on every pile that is put on their floor which accounts for the great success they are meeting with in selling the farmers tobacco. Henry Knott and his brother, Geo. Knott, along with Jim Day, are great scouts on four wheels and the drummers who out-travel them in search of tobacco have to rise early and travel late. The Minor is manned by a strong team and when the end of the year rolls around you may just bet they will show a splendid record. We ask our farmer friends to read their advertisement and give them a trial on selling their crop of tobacco as this firm will use every effort to sat isfy you, WANTED. To exchange a val ble prize house in Henderson, N. C, for improved property of any kind in Oxford, N. C. A good trade can be made by addressing, BOX 249, Richmond, Va. novl5lt. Large Quantities of Tobacco. Immense breaks of tobacco have been the crowning event in the his tory of Oxford the past week as our farmers have enjoyed fine seasons. Friday, Tuesday and Wednesday the weed was here, covering every avail able space on our warehouse floors, and the large corps of buyers linked down to buying like the true men that they are. The cry of the auc tioneers was heard from early morn ing until late in the evening and then did not eret around each day. Vance, Granville, Franklin, Durham, Person, Warren, and Mecklenburg county, Va., were well represented and the cry is still they come as Ox ford is now recognized as the best all round markets in this State. All our warehouses are doing well but the Farmers' had the prize break Wednesday, and Messrs. Hunt & Williams, the proprietors, were hap py over haying some 60 odd loads. It was a big day for theFarmers',and so far .as we know all grades fetched high market prices. Thursday was another good day for tobacco, and although the buyers having gone thiough immense breaks since the rush began stood up tc the piles like men keeping 'Gene Crews and "Uncle D" Meadows busy cry ing bids nearly all day. The Vance Monument. It is now in order for the people of Granville to take action for aiding in erecting the proposed monument to the memory of the great and gift ed Vance. In the estimation of many he is regarded as North Carolina's most distinguished citizen. He was en rapport with the people was al ways the guardian of their rights and interests. His name was al ways a tower of thought with the people and he was not only favora bly known in North Carolina but his ability was such in that august body, the Senate of the United States, that his fame extends throughout the length of the nation. Granville as one of the best coun ties in the State ought not. to lag be hind in the patriotic duty of contrib uting to the erection of the Vance monument. Let an organization be formed for getting up a liberal con tribution from our citizens. Let a meeting be called for this purpose and let Granville respond with alac rity and liberality to the praise worthy object of a movement to the noble and inimitable Vance. This Week's Attraction. Our people will be delighted to learn of the coming of the old relia ble Sparks' Trained Animal Shows. This well known aggregation of brill iant amusement features is stronger and better than ever before and con sists in part of educated horses, don keys and dogs, Japanese perch per formers, leapers, contortionists, bar peformers, and the Tritch sisters in their flying trapeze are with the show. They traveled recently with the Barnum show, and last and best of all, three good talking and sing ing clowns, and best that eyer tum bled in sawdust. It will be a matter of especial interest to know that C.-n Alia '7 V -po yy nno 4-ni n r wi iiln t c still with the congress of stupendous attractions.

Performances in the afternoon at 2 and evening at 8 o'clock. O Pshaw! You are Not in It. Two Populists were elected to the Kentucky Legislature and the ques tion is, How did it happen? Why, Walter R. Henry did it, of course. Wasn't he in the Kentucky cam paign? News and Observer. No, sir, he never got that rar as his Populist coat had worn suddenly slick on account of his slippery ut& terances and consequently it was ut terly impossible for him to slide into the State of Kentucky and tackle the solid breastworks of Col. Carlisle's Brigade, as his party went over and planted their votes in favor of their god father, the old line black and tan Radical party, with their pistols and boots on and no doubt well healed withv old Bourbon, the stuff that captures the coon. Baptist State Convention. The Baptists of the State are look ing forward to their Convention, which meets in Greensboro, Decern ber 5th. Our most worthy towns man, Rev. Dr. R. H.

Re member Brown wheu your wife gives you an order for Thanksgiving as well as other occasions. Give That Calf More Rope. The Indiana Populists will disband as they believe there is no future for the party in that fotate. As to the Thirdites in North Carolina it is no use for them to take such a step as they in a body, although crying long and awful loud in favor of free sil ver, dumped their principles in the negro ditch and swallowed Ephriam, scent and all, without even greasing his ears to make him slip down easy while they held their nose. It was a musky dose and heaved them but they made out to get down the Doug lass dose and it stuck fast, while "Dr." Butler felt their pulse. Henry Wilson, the postmaster at Welsh ton. Florida, savs he cured a case of diar rhoea of long standing in six hours with one small bottle oi UhamDeriain's uoiic, Cholera and Darrhcea Remedy. What a pleasant surprise that must have been to the 8ulrerer. such cures are noi unusual with this remedy. In many instances only one or two doses are required to give permanent relief. It can always be de pended upon. When reduced with water it is pleasant to take. For sale by J. G. Hall.

Onr plan of serving our patrons i-s the popular way by which thousands are supplied economically no great make-believe sales, no other people's stocks at half price, no consignment sales, nothing but a Fresh, Reliable Stock of New Merchandise sold at Astonishingly Low Prices. In the world of competition we stand as near the front stand solely upon the individual support of our pat rons who confide in us. Our business has in creased wonderfully since last year.
