We have just received a nice lot of wedding- invitations. Those con templating" matrimony should call and take a look at them. Snow, beautiful snow, fell for a ! few minutes iu Oxford Wednesday af ternoon. The cold wave arrived promptly on time and everybody got a move on. Starvation Bill's old red steer will not be able to cut any ice in the back yard of the jail this winter as the County Commissioners have froze him out. Miss Carrie Hoberood, who has been sick for some weeks, gradually improves, which will be good news to the numerous friends of this pop ular young lady. Mr- Milton Hobgood, of EnoB, now boasts of a VI pound boy at his home. If he should live we take it that he will make as successful far mer as his father. Mr. John B. Booth is receiving the congratulations of his many friends on account of the advent of J. B., Jr.. at his home on Friday, who weighed 11 pounds. Our young people enjoyed a most delightful German at Armory Hall on Monday evening. Oxford possesses many excellent dancers, both among the ladies and gentle men . The crying need of the hour with those who are suffering with the headache is Stedman's Head Easy. It downs a headache in short or. er, so try it. Head advertisement elsewhere. Mr. Graham Koyster, who is now the owner of the large Smith prize house, is busy moving it on the corner of Penn Avenue and Broad street near the Minor warehouse. It has been rented. We deeply regret to chronicle the serious illness of Master George Rawlins, who has pneumonia. We hope the physician may be able to check the disease and that he will soon be restored to health. What is the sweetest music the Populists hear when they come to Oxford? Why the blowing of the brass bugle of Rey. W7illiam Royster, S. B. aud F. L., while he keeps time with that same said forefinger. We have missed the genial and pleasant W. WT. Hart, of Oak Hill, and we are very sorry to learn that he has been confined at home on ac count of sickness. We are very glad to learn that WTilliam will soon be himself again. According to the decision of the Supreme Court, Mr. J. C. Ellington will continue as State Librarian and Fusiouist Standford will have to ket p off the grass and again seek the silver wheels, fringed with black wool, at the hands of the colored brother. The Pops want to continue their dicker with the "coons" in order to scoop in the spoils as the silyer wheels fringed with kinky wool makes their leaders crow lustily over the Democrats if they do have to swallow gold-standard Republican ism to get there. Well, the people are now gettinsr full benefit of the reform the Pops howled for last year, as the negro magistrates in the county are found nearly every day issuing warrants for white men. Oh! how we reform ers do swim, and Chief Dalby smiles with resigned complacency. Every time a man or woman who has been a prisoner in jail under the regime of Wm. Ro3'ster, S. B. and F. L., passes by his new 2 story resis dence near Oxford they wonder how much interest their stomach had in the building as they no doubt do nated largely to the building fund. Well, the Barber Trust is now broken, as a Mr. Lee, of Aberdeen, N. C, who stands high as a tonsorial artist, has arrived with his family and ooeued up a shop in the old Lynch jewelry store, next to J. D. Brmkley's photograph gallery, ijrive him a trial and see if he will not give you a first-class shave and hair cut. It will lie a source of much pleasure to our citizens to learn that our hustling Mayor, backed up by the Board of Commissioners, is mak ing an effort to have another electric liffht olant in Oxford. As Oxford is the best tobacco market in the State she will soon come to the front again on improvements. Let the good work go on. The Hash, dated at Berea and printed in Charlotte, is on our table and is brimful 01 such matter as is generally found on patent outsides Mr. H. H. Latta's name heads one of the columns. We trust our friend will be able to get enough out of it I to reimburse him for the spot cash he has to plank down to get it print ed and delivered in Oxford each ; week. OXFORD, N. Next Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. Mrs. W. I. Wilkinson, who has been sick several days, is much im proved. Read the change in the adver tisement of Jackson, the Confection er, and the three new legal notices in this issue. On the level Thanksgiving looks like a tine institution. It must be remembered the turkey only takes a bird's eye view of it. Mr. A. J. Feild is President and ! Dr. T. L. Booth, Secretary, of the Literary Club organized in Oxford during the past week. Dr. I. II . Davis has returned from Baltimore and can be found in his office over the Bank of Granville. He is now better prepared than ever for all kinds of dental work. Mr. W. H. Gooch says elsewhere in this issue that he is fully prepared to furnish all those desiring goods in his line at lowest prices for the com ing hollidays. Read the advertise ment. Main street now enjoys the great privilege of being ornamented with a large number of empty kerosine oil barrels faithfully guarded by two delapidatt d old buggies. They are liable to fall down if allowed to stay out in the sun much longer. Senator Butler, after having written to all the "silver-senators," seems to have changed his mind somewhat. It is said he only ex pects the Populist senators to really stick to their promises to go for silver first, last, and all the time. DR. C. DURHAM DEAD. Passed Away Suddenly in Raleigh, Thursday Night Last. The able editor of the WTilmington Messenger comments as follows on the death of this prominent Baptist: The Messenger regrets to hear of the death of Rev. Columbus Durham of Raleigh, on Thursday night. He had been unwell for some weeks, but his death was sudden from heart dis ease. He was aged 51, and was a brother of the late Plato Durham, a lawyer and politician of talent in Re construction times, and died in man hood's prime. The two brothers served in the Confederate army. Dr. Durham was prominent in Baptist circles in North Carolina. He had talents, earnestness of con yiction, intensity of purpose, loved controversy and was always aggres sive in the fight. He was a born tighter and was warp and woof a Baptist, believing in its doctrines with all his soul, and ready to de fend and enforce them wTith pen and tongue any time and anywhere. He was not so well equipped, so well poised, so learned or really so able as some of his clerical brethren in the State, but perhaps none had so much of confident boldness, such zeal and ardor as he had in advo eating his cause and presenting his convictions. He is a distinct loss to his denomination and his death will be profoundly regretted among his people and by his friends outside of his denomination. He was born in Cleveland county, was president of the board of trustees of Wake for est college, where he was educated and from which he graduated. In the fullness of his prime he is cut down, reminding us of "what shad ows we are. what shadows we pur sue." A Good Show. John H. Sparks' show gave four very creditable performances in Ox ford on Monday and Tuesday last to large and well pleased audiences. His horizontal bar performers, con tortionists and acrobats are above the average seen in much larger shows. The performance of his educated horses, and especially Cyclone, the trick mule, was very good indeed. Her Third Set of Teeth. Rev. Starvation Bill lioyster's grandmother, who lives just outside the corporate limits of Oxford, says she is 100 years old, and is now en joying the use of her third set of teeth. She is a well preserved old colored woman. Our townsman, Mr. R. T. Smith, examined her present set of teeth and says they are as sound a3 a dollar, and she eats any thing she wants to. He is not a fiember. The nuestion has been raised whether Mr. T. V. Edmunds was a member of the South Boston Bachel or's Club when he landed in Oxford. President Henrv Wilkinson, who at the time Mr. Edmunds located in Ovfnrd presided with erreat disrmtv over the Bachelor's Club, but who has since resigned, says that he did not deposit a certtficate of member ship of the Club in South Boston. That seems to settle the matter and Mr. Edmunds cannot be called to ac count for crossing the line to bask in the sunny smiles of a bewitching Virginia beauty every week or two. As Mr. Edmunds is quite popular in Oxford the very best wishes of the boys attend him in his efforts to be come a benedict. For a pain in the side or chest there is nothing so good as a piece of flannel dru npn ed wit!rf Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bound on o.er 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 munt. U n. sura ciirfl for lame back. For sale by J . 6- Hall.

Oxford continues to get there in great shape on selling immense quan tites of tobacco since the seasons be gan and our buyers are turning loose the greenbacks and silver wheels in large quantities through the bank of Granville. And we tell you that C. J. Cooper loves to shove the money through the window to the farmers as it is one of the great levers that biings speace and contentment to many a fireside. Friday was a winning day for our market, but Tuesday dawned with the town full of tobacco, and a wave of the weed took full possession of town along with the Bank of Gran ville, but the vault of the bank was more than equal to the demand and rolled the money out every minute in the day, and still had plenty left. W. I. Wilkinson had the first sale and had a house running over with tobacco. He was at his best, mak ing good sales all round, and says he satisfied his customers. Besides having a large wagon trade he had five car loads of tobacco from Old Virginia to roll in on Monday mak ing Col. Henry Wilkinson smile all over that manly face of his, causing him to forget all about his old age and stepped around with the elastici ty of youth. Uncle D. Meadows grew quite happy and would slap his hands together every time the plucky buyers piled bid upon bid on each pile. The Minor Warehouse presented a grand sight with the floor groaning under GOO piles of tobacco while the handsome Capt. Sidney Minor, the book keeper, had his hands full get ting bills ready for the farmers. Of course General Alf. Hobgood and Henry Knott were on deck and kept up their usual chin racket making the sale a live one from start to finish, and every thieg passed off as merry as the many marriage bells that are ringing throughout Granville this week. Knott & Cooper actually caught the happy current and they too joined in the happy refrain. The New Meadows warehouse was on deck will a full house and Zack Lyon and Buck Blaloek stood to the rack and performed well their part of the work, while the buyers did the rest ably assisted by Gene Crews. "The glorious old Banner that has been fanned by the breeze of suc cess" was the next house visited with a wave of tobacco on the floor by the jolly brigade of buyers. Will Gulick was ready with a smile on his face, while John Bullock and Grand ma Mitchell looked very serious, not a single gleam of joy being detected in their faces. But as soon as Gene Crews started the ball of prices roll ing from the lips of the buyers John Bullock's countenance changed, prov ing that he had softened down to a happy temperament while Grandma Mitchell simply turned down his coat collar and stroaked his chin whis kers. Of course when he does that he is in a good humor. The sale was a lively one as usual if the sun was nearly down. This ended the work of the day. Wednesday morning the sales con fined, and Farmers' Warehouse was the great centre which tobacco men gathered, where they found a full floor of the golden weed. Here the farmers struck the pockets of the buyers a hard blow as the bidding was of a spirited nature, and Hunt & Williams scored another point as cap ital good warehousemen with Hugh Skinner as book keeper, proving that this house still holds a warm spot in the hearts of our farmers. The next house that attracted the attention of the buyers was the Cen ter, where Charley Kingsbury holds the fort. They found everything ready tor business, while Judge Clement held the papers in his hands and would render a decision on each load of tobacco as it was sold to the farmers, giving facts and figures as to the best place to sell tobacco. This sale ended the break of Tues day. Resolutions of Sympathy. At a regular meeting of the "Baby Juinors" at the residence of Mrs. J. H. Horner Saturday, October 10, the President of the Society appointed Miss Laura Williams chairman of a committee to draw up resolutions of respect on the death of little Mary Rawlins, a member of the society. Whereas, it has pleased God in his infinite wisdom to remoyefrom earth to heaven little Mary, only daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Edmund T. Rawlins, and a beloved member of this society therefore Resolyed 1. That a loving Father in taking Mary to dwell in realms of .-ii-i r , 1 1 peace, with tne aims wno nave gone before, has removed rrom our midst a much loved member. liesolved 2. That the hearts now distressed and bereaved over the death of this loving child look for consolation who doeth all things well. Resolved 3. That we bow in hum ble submission to the will or God with hearts full of sympathy for the parents in this hour of trial. Resolved 4. That a special page in the minute book of this Society be set apart for these resolutions, that a copy of the same be sent to the parents, and also that a copy be sent to the Public Ledger tor pubiica tion.

Last Thursday night while devoted and loving ones watched o'er her the spirit of little Mary Rawlins, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Rawlins of this place, took its flight and return ed to the God who gave it. She had been very ill, but was thought to be improving when she was taken suddenly worse and in a Z re!iee? hr ,Suffrf South Boston, Va., visited Oxford ings. She was one of Oxford's bright- tua Qt5f moot est and sweetest children, and htr death is mourned by the whole com munity. Her bright face, sunny disposition and sweet manners gave a beautiful charm to her life and made her a pet with all who knew her. Though her stay here has been short, her mission has been accomplished and she leaves a fragrance of character and beauty of life to sweeten and brighten this sad bereavement. She was full of joy and gladness. spreading happiness wherever she went, and her friends, young and o!d, are sorely touched by her death. While on earth she did her part beautifully and in the great beyond her sweet young life will be made gloriously perfect. We know that her devoted parents are heart broken and bowed down under this affliction and we tender them our deepest sym pathy. Little Mary is not gone forever, only a little while and there will be a happy reunion. Heaven will be made brighter by her presence. The funeral services were conduct ed at the residence by Revs. Mr. Hardaway and Mr. Stradl9y, and at the cemetery by Rev. Mr. Plummer, on Friday afternoon. As the sun was slowly sinking behind the west ern horizon all that was earthly of the dear child was laid to rest to await the glorious rising of the sun of Righteousness on the resurrection morn. Attention, Correspondents ! The "old man" who presides over the PUBLIC LEDGER, and who is under many obligations to his regu lar correspondents for the news from their respective localities, cordially extends an invitation to them to be present at a dining at his home in Oxfoid complimentary to them on Friday, the 29th day of November. We will be very glad if those who intend being present will be kind enough to notify the editor as early as possible. EIGHT HEART BEAT AS FOUR. Cupid Having a Glorious Time and is Adding New Stars to his Crown. Mr. Thomas Critcher, of Oxford, and Miss Lizzie Bragg, of Stem sec tion, linked their destinies together on Wednerday afternoon. The cer emony was performed in Tally Ho Baptist Church in the presence of large concourse of friends. After congratulations the wedding party left for Oxford wheie at Exchange Hotel they were tendered a reception bv Mrs. T. H. Jones, and a splendid supper was served. Mr. John H. Puckett, of Sunset, is not a single man any longer, and Miss Jeannette Hobgood, of Enon, is not a single lady any more, as Dr. Marsh happily married them in the parlor of the splendid home of Mrs. Rebecca Hobgood on Wednesday last. Quite a number of friends wit nessed the plighting of their troth until death do part. Mr. H. T. Hobgood is another wil ling victim and is no longer a mem ber of the Enon Bachelors Club, as he was married on Wednesday to the handsome Miss Pattie R. Averett, at the home of Mr. Thomas Averett. Dr. R- H. Marsh made them one, and the large number of friends present wish them great happiness. The Whetstone section is not be1- hind in ringing the marriage bells, as Mr. John B. Currin, Jr., and Miss Amanda, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Frazier, joined hearts on Wednesday last and will in future journey through life hand in hand. The FUBLIC LiEDGRR wishes the 4 couples a long and facilicitous jour ney along the pathway of matrimo nial bliss. He Met the Brethren. Hon. Thos. Settle, who played the demagogue with the Thirdites by promising to vote for tree silver but now declares himself in favor or a gold standard, was in town last Mon dav. Of couise he had to be taken in hand by starvation liili and have a private confab with him. Tommie will play the role ot misrepresenting the 5th N. C. district in the next Congress, judging from past records. The Black Twins. The Two Bills, Bill Royster and Bill Crews, can be seen most any day sunning in front of the court house. On Monday Bill Crews was quietly sitting within the iron railing ens closure of the Sheriff's office, with his feet cocked up on the desk, all alone in his glory, no doubt think ing if he could get his brother Pops to endorse him for Sheriff next year he and his old partner 'Starvation Bill' could run things just like they wanted with a negro deputy sheriff m each townfcnip.
