The terrible storm this week that swept over Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Kansas and portions other States at 70 miles an hour carried death and destruction with it. The loss of property is immense. Those of our citizens who have tried Mr. D. M. Lee, our new tonso rial artist, say he is a first-class workman. We hope our citizens will extend to him a liberal patron age as he is worthy of it.

The African Wonder was among the attractions in Oxford during the week, and a large number of our people witnessed it. It was well worth the small price of admission of 10 cents. In it was one of the largest reptiles that we ever saw on exhibition. If you have never sold any to bacco on the Oxford market load up and come along, and you will be convinced that you have put money in your pocket by receiving regular "rafter prices" and will go home full of praise for Oxford's warehousemen and liberal buyers. We are exceedingly glad to learn that Master George Rawlins, who has been seriously ill with pheumo nia, is gradually improving. It is also a pleasure to note that James, the bright little son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas White, has about recovered from his recent illness. Let us dwell together in unity. Two brothers who had a falling out some eight years ago and had not spoken to each other during all these vears, met in Oxford Wednesday, settled their differences and once more happiness dwells in the family. No doubt the dear old mother shed tears of joys when the glad tidings reached her ears, Mrs. A. H. A. Williams and children have broken up in Oxford and moved to Panacea Springs, where Mrs. Williams has taken charge of the Hotel at that great health giving resort. We more than regret to lose from our midst this most interesting family, and the best wishes of a host of friends go with them to their new home. The Unpardonable Sin. Some days ago one of the great and exalted statesmen of Carlton, Vance county, of the Douglassite stripe, was reading the Bible and with great zeal was trying to solve what was the unpardonable sin. Of course the brain of the greatest politician the world has ever pro duced (in his own estimation) became awfully clouded and could not see through anything unless it had Douglassism attached to it, and he had to appeal to his father, who it seems is well posted on the Bible. About this time an old Rip Van Winkle looking Democrat, who had met the enemy in many a hard fought battle for a white man's gov ernment, having formerly battled beside the now great statesman for that boon, happened to hear the question asked. He at once said : 'If you are real anxious to know, in my mind I will tell you. The un pardoeable sin is for a Third party man who claims in his heart to be in favor of reform and then votes the miserable fusion ticket with a negro on it." This was a clincher, and the states man, who, when he saw at the bot tom of the ballot box a silver dollar fringed around with negro wool he swallowed it, feeling sure that he or some of his friends would roll them in their pocket: as the fruits of the spoils of office. He silently closed the Bible and said no more. There was a dead calm in that house not even the cry of a Populist was heard. Pastor Jenkins' Affliction. The New Brunswick, N. J., Daily News of a recent date says; Death visited the home of Rev. C. A. Jen kins, pastor of Livingston Avenue Baptist Church, this morning and claimed Irma Louise, the youngest daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Jenkins. The call was an unexpected one and has cast a deep gloom over the house hold. The bright child was 3-years and G months old and was a favorite child with all who knew her. The family feel the affliction keenly, but have the warm sympathy of numer our friends. Recently the little girl suffered from an attack of the measles. It was a severe attack, but she braved it nicely and was recovering. Yes terday she felt decidedly better, and when she went to bed last evening was feeling better than at any time during her sickness. Dr. Slack, the attending physician, gaye hone that she would soon be entirely recovered. Early this morning the child suffered a spasm and lived but a short time afterward. There will be no funeral services held and the funeral be private.. The many friends of Rev. and Mrs. C. A- Jenkins in Oxford and Gran ville will deeply sympathize with them in the loss of their darling lit tle girl. Geo. I. Nowitzky. This most worthy and enterprising gentleman has been in town during court week entertaining, instructing and charming the public in his pecu liarly happy and characteristic man ner. He has a large share of mag netism and a big brain. From the latter he has evolved some excellent remedies for curing physical ills. He is one doctor who takes his own medicines and his robust health at test their great yalue. We enjoyed a visit from the doctor during his stay in Oxford. GRANVILLE SUPERIOR COURT. Judge Starbuck Presiding with Solic itor Bynum at His Post. Granville Superior Court convened on Monday with his honor. Judge Starbuck, of Winston, on the bench. This is the second term of court this able young Judge has held, and here as elsewhere he has given entire sat isfaction to the people. He is a young man of ability and we predict ere his term expires will prove to be the ablest Judge the Republicans have elevated to the bench. He is fair, painstaking, and dispatches business promptly. His charge' to the grand jury was plain and easily understood, conyeying fully all the offenses against the peace and dig nity of the State. Solicitor Bynum, who has already established a fine reputation as a prosecuting officer, was at his post looking after the interest of the State with his usual zeal and energy. He is a flunt talker and makes the law breakers tremble when he gets straight after them. We are glad to see that this able lawyer has ceased to be so abrupt to witnesses which is the only criticism we ever passed upon the Solicitor. And ia this connection we would say that every witness put on the itand is en titled to polite treatment at the hands of the legal profession and should receive it. The following gentlemen compose the grand jury: J. S. Gooch, fore man, S. L. Moss, W. B. Cash, Z. T. Perry, J. A. Cottrell, J. E. Duncan, L. S. Jeffreys, C. M. Critcher, T. A. Riggs, J. H. Cash, Burwell Jones, W. M. Rogers, Flem Currin, T. H. Bullock, Sam Slaughter, T. E. De ment, T. W. Hunt, W. N. Critcher. The regular petit jury for the week is A. F. Smith, C. T. Parrott, R. H. Frazier, T. L. Cannady, Irwin Gieen, B. F. Hester, W. D. Tippett, L. Thomas, S. E. Johnson, C. W. Dan iel. Mr. John Watkins has charge. Clerk J. M. Sikes, assisted by Mr. J. W. Brown, was at his post with everything in readiness for the work of the court. He is plea,sant and ac commodating with all those who have business with him. Sheriff Cozart, with his competent assistant, Mr. James T. Cozart, was also at his post and everything runs along smoothly, which we are glad to see. Mr. J. T. Cozart, who really does the business, is without doubt a most ex cellent officer and although we differ politically, we take great pleasure in saying so. He is serving the county faithfully and well in the general discharge of his duties. Of course the usual retinue of the large number of ignorant colored brethren are hanging around to get on the jury which generally makes Republican rule odious to those who haye business in court. It is not known whether Broomfield Ridley has appeared or not, but however some of the others are put on and consequently one hung jury has been the result. The Sheriff feels bound to reward the fusion colored breth ren as he owes his office to them. The following are the cases dis posed of up to Thursday morning: State vs. B. E. Moss, a. w. d. w.; judgment suspended on payment of cost. State vs. B. E. Moss, concealed weapons; not guilty. State vs. W. R. O'Briant, bas tardy; guilty; judgment suspended on payment of costs and fine includ ing support of child amounting to some $75, with an indemnity bond that the child should not become a charge npon the county. This case is well known to the people of Gran ville as it cost the taxpayers at the last term something over a hundred dollars. State vs. Layton Saunders, retail ing liquor without license; guilty; judgment suspended on payment of cost. State vs. L. D. Lievister and E. H. Evans, a. w, d. w.j guilty; judgment, Levister pay half cost and Evans $50 fine and one-half cost. This is the case where a difficnlty occurred at a wheat threshing at the home of Prof. W. H. P. Jenkins in which Mr. Levister was badly cut 7 times by said Evans. State vs. G. A. Critcher and John Parham, a. w. d. w.; judgment sus pended on payment of cost. State vs. Borax Mangum, breaking in house, guilty; senteuce not yet passed. State vs. Wm. Nowell, Ad Lyon and Alex Lyon, taking privilege of eating watermelons; judgment sus-. pended on payment of cost, State vs. John Ronton, larceny of watch from Dr. Henderson; guilty; sentence not yet passed. State vs. J. T. Fuller, Crudup Ful ler, J. T. Reams and Lonnie Reams, affray; guilty as to J. T. Reams and J. T. Fuller. This proved to be the most humorous case thus far this term, as the able Solicitor brought into play some of his humor in mak ing his speech before the jury which proved to be quite interesting to the spectators. He described the affray as a regular pitched battle, with General Crudup Fuller and General Reams in command of opposite forces. General Reams was rein forced by Major Lonnie Reams' com mand and General Crudup Fuller was also reinforced by Brigadier General John Fuller's gallant bri gade. The Solicitor said after the awful conflict and the smoke of bat tle had cleared away it was found that General Crudup Fuller had been wounded by coming in contact with a piece of wood, while the gallant and braye General John T. Fuller tackled what he thought to be a brass cannon that carried at least 4 balls as it made him see stars, and he was carried from the field of carnage in a helpless condition, but be soon ral lied and was ready to go to the front again on the banks of rapid, roaring old Fishing creek and achieve honor and glory to the grand old name of Fuller. State vs. David Crabtree, affray; pleads guilty. State vs. A. B. Spencer, affray; pleads guilty. Since writing the above a colored brother informs us that Broomfield struck town about ligh't Monday morning and has occupied a promi nent seat near the stove in the court room, but poor Broomfield is shut out because he has been on the jury this year, and was caught in a lie at the last term of the court by the Clerk's record. His memory proved so inaccurate that he actually forgot as far Dack as three months. As an old stager in winning from $1.50 to $3.00 as a juror each term under the grand old party fusion combine he is an old gray-headed winner, as Sheriff Cozart seems to take an abid ing comfort in saying, "Broomfield Ridley step in the jury box." The saddest thing of all is that Gen. Alex. Hester has the rheumatism so bad that he cannot get up the steps so that Mr. Cozart can reward him for his faithful adherence to fusion. It is said that Hester got to the bottom of the steps and tried to get up and be recognized, but could not make it and sat down and wept, actually re fusing to be comforted when he found out that Bill Crews had got on a hung jury and would scoop in $3 as a reward for faithful service. THE TRAVELLERS. OXFORD MARKET STILL LEADS. She's all Right, and Continues to Get There on Big Prices. Oxford still keeps strictly in the lead on prices on all grades of to baccs, and our buyers are always willing to pay big money for good colory stock. Of course common brings commen prices everywhere. Large breaks continue to be the order of the day, and large amounts of money are paid in Oxford every day for the weed. We will give you one load barn round on all grades that happened to come under our observation at the old Minor ware house. Knott & Cooper got happy, whiie Alf Hobgood shouted: "Shoot the prices clean out of the top of the house and let the shingles go, and we want the news carried to Mary." After the excitement was over we gathered from the tags of the load of Mr. W. A. Brummitt the follow ing prices: $25i, 32i, 69, 57, 33, 12i, Hi, 2.30, 6.80, 16, 41, 66, 35, 25. Remember that Oxford may be put down as a finished town, but it is the liyest corpse that several of the other markets have to tackle and is hustling for dear life to pay the very top notch prices for all grades as the market is engineered by the biggest-hearted set of buyers that ever stepped on a warehouse floor. Chrysanthemum Wedding in Old Virginia. A beautiful marriage and one in which a North Caro'ina young man mairies one of Va.'s beautiful young ladies, the contracting parties being Mr. R. S. Tuck, tormerly of Raleigh and Miss Hattie R. Dobie, of Sussex county, Va. We are informed that a prettier marriage nover took piace iu that county than the one which occurred at Cromwell's M. E. Church Nov. 20, when Miss H;tttie R. Dobie, former ly of Petersburg, became the bride of Mr. R. S. Tuck, of N. C. The interior of the church presen ted a beautiful scene. The building was darkened and the soft mellow lights shed radience of beauty upon the elaborate decorations of chrysan themums and other flowers. The ceremony was performed in a most impressive manner by Rev. Geo. E. Booker, of Petersburg, Va. As the organ pealed forth the rich notes of Mendelsohn wedding march the bidal party marched in andtook their places amid the brilliant scene. The ushers were: Rev. E. E. Booker, of Ash land, Va., and Mr. Phillip Rogers, of Dresden, Va., followed by the ats tendants. The nuptial was witnessed by a large concourse of friends. The hap py couple immediately after the cer emony repaired to the station where they took the North bound train for New York and other places of inter est, carrying with them the best wishes for a long life filled with rich est blessings and happiness. After their bridal trip Mr. and Mrs. Tuck will reside in Richmond, the home of Mr. Tuck. Mr. Tuck is a nephew of our townsman, Mr. Tiios. W. Win ston. The Public Ledger, pxends congratulations and best wishes. Smiling John Himself Again. The sweet and loveable little John, the good natured and smiling son of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Stedman, whose many admiring friends has missed him in his carriage from the street will join the "old man" of the Public Ledger in saying that we are glad to learn that the dear boy is himself again after two weeks' siekness.His legion of friends will be more than glad to bask in the sunny smiles of this darling boy again as his nurse rolls him around the street. The numerous cures of rheumatism by the use of the old standard blood purifier, Avar's Sar&aoarilla. show conclusive! that it is an effective remedy, if not in deed the specinc, tor tais most painful and persistent malady. What has cured others will also cure you. Itsh 00. human, mange on horses, dogs and all stock cured in 30 minutes by Woolford's Sanitary Lotion. This never fails. Sold by J. G.

He is an old Granville boy and we-are bound to feel proud of him. The genial and clever editor of the Franklin Times, as well as the competent and most efficient Deputy Collector of this Division, Mr. J. A. Thomas, was in Oxford Monday and Tuesday, and it was our pleasure to grasp his warm hand. May his shadow never grow any less and we both may live to see the Democrats united and the grand old State re deemed from the thraldom of such base hypocrites as Maryann Butler, Skinner, Whitaker & Co. 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. Not Until Then. The Durham Sun says: Those edi tors who are so ready to declaim against the lynehings which are of sich frequent oeeurience in the South, should at least bestow some share of their indignation upon the crime, still more horrible than the lynehings, which follow its commis sion. When the brutal and fiendish crime of assaulting women and little girls the mothers, wives and daugh ters of Southern homes ceases to be committed then the lynching of of fenders will cease, and let no man dare to hope that it will cease before. 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.
