The Riveside Cigar is solid Hav ana buy them at D. J. Gooeh's. Rey. J. M. Horner preached at the church of the Good Shepherd in Raleigh on Sunday. We thank Mr. W. L. Ragland for a number of the finest turnips we have seen this season. Write Riveridc Cigar Co., Dan yille, Va for samples and prices of strictly fine hand-made cigars. The Osboin House has been crowded this week and last weok with people attending our court. Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Hamme, near Oxford, had a bright-eyed girl born unto them on the 3rd instant. Mr. Alex Crews has laid on our table a half-grown pear, second crop. The tree had two on it when the biting frost came. What has become of the survey ors of the boundary line between North Carolina and Virginia? Noth ing has been heard from them since they commenced work. We are requested to announce that the new bridge at Cannadv's mill across Tar river will be ready for travel on Monday which will be good news to the public. Last week on horse row a large number of animals changed hands. From the old plug up to fine horses and mules were in the swim for new owners. This week the place looks rather dull. Our neighbor, the Orphans' Friend, had bad luck last Thursday. While working olt the paper the press broke down and the edition could not be finished until they sent the broken piece to Raleigh and had it mended. At a competitive drill Monday of the Granville Grays for the medal Mr. Thos. Smith was the winner, de feating Ad Usry and Gus Hobgood bv a few points. Capt. Sidney Minor did the drilling while Lieut. Hugh Skinner acted as judge. We are glad to see at his post after two weeks sickness our accomo dating postmaster, Mr. J. S. Hunt. Major Gordon, his assistant, although a new hand at the business, did very well in looking after Uncle Sam's business during the sickness of Mr. Hunt. The first regular German of the winter took place at Armorv Hall on Friday night last and was partic ipated in by many of our young la dies and gentlemen. Music was fur nished by the Raleigh string band, and the German was pronounced a crowning success. Wo urn prlad to learn that Miss Susan Graham, daughter of Judge A. W. Graham, who has been auite sick is some better. On account of her illness the Judge was detained at Vinmpi. and bv his reauest Gov. Carr commissioned Judge Timber lake to hold Duplin court. Messrs. Hundley Bros, adver tise their splendid wook-working plant in Oxford for sale at auction, in Oxford, January 5, 1896. This is a splendid fitted up establishmebt, and a good bargain is in store for some enterprising man. Read the advertisement in another column. The Roval Arcanum meet every other Thursday night and all the members are requested to attend. As this order offers the cheapest and safest insurance of any like organi zation it wculd be well for a large number of our citizens to find out its merits and take advantage of the low rates. Try Riyerside and Ozone cigar they are the best at the Osborn House. The now elegant home of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Currin on High street Thursday evening was a scene of beauty and grace. They tendered a reception to their guest, Miss Rowland, of Texas. Their pe tite and charming daughter, Miss Nellie, who is attending school in Richmond, was present to the great pleasure of her many admirers. Messrs. Ruffin Fuller and Pres. Rowland, two of the old wheel-horse Democrats of the Carlton section, were in town Thursday, and called at the "Old Democrat Rattle Trap" office. They report everything very quiet in political circles since the Republican hurricane struck the grand old noble order ship, beaching it on the rocks and old hull lies on the g'aore as a warning to third parties. We extend our warmest congrat lation to Brother Joe Daniels and to friend F. B. Arendell for the thirty six page edition of News & Observer on Thanksgiving day. it was a model of typograthy and deyoted to great cotton mill industry and mates rial prosperity of the grand old Tar Heel State. Nothing has ever equal ed it in the South, and every true citizens should say : "Joe Daniels 'you do us proud.'" Tobacco is still pouring into Ox ford and prices art well maintained on all good grades. Fine wrappers have shot up to the $69 per hundred mark. In fact all grades, with the exception of green tips, have ad vanced in prices on our market ow ntr tn P-reatlv increased demands for j tobacco. If you are looking for the highest prices tor your toDacco ux ford is just the market to secure them, so come along one and all. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. This Body Het on Monay and Tues dayProceedings.

Waller, who cannot be beat, as he possesses peculiar quali fications for the important office. Mr. N. B. Cannady was re-elected county attorney for the year. He well deserves it, as he has been the means of saying the county many dollars by watchfulness over the af fairs of the county. W. A. Davis, colored, on account of disability, was exempted from paying poll tax. Several persons were allowed re bate on account of donble tax. Ordered that Abram Hobgood be placed on the outside pauper list. Mr. S. C. Hobgood was elected constable of Tally Ho township to fill unexpired term of E. C. Allen, resigned. Ordered that J. T. Britt be granted the contract for publishing financial exoibit at the same price as last year.

Re ducing that full page of explanation to a words: Ozone is purified air. But another Ozone is now attracting public attention. It is a pure Hayana cigar just put on the marKer. oy rne Riyerside Cigar Company, Danyille, Va. It is the best 5 cent cigar ever offered smokers and is on sale all oyer town.

Get a box of them, go out in the pure air, whif this pure cigar and see the pure smoke curl upward into the pure air above and you will feel pu rer and better.

Vice-President James Parrott, of Creedmoor Buchelor's Club, who had been over in Virginia on a visit, nassed throuerh Oxford on Monday. It is not known whether he was on a courting tour or to establish a .Bach elor's Club in Mecklenburg county, Va. It is thoueht that he will pie- fer charges against Mr, Vassar Peace as he broke through the lines last week and waited on the chief of bachelors, Mr. S. C. Lyon, when he became a benedict. Ozone Cigar is hand made, long Havana filler at J. r. btedman's. Judge Starbuck Decides That the Bonds are Legal. The case of the Union Bank of Richmond, Va., vs. Commissioners of the Town of Oxford came up be fore His Honor Judge Starbuck on Saturday, and was one of great in terest to our people. Thi3 arose out of the refusal of the Board of Town Commissioner to pay the coupons due for interest ou the bonds issued by the town in aid of the Oxford & Coast Line Railroad Company. It will be remembered that the town voted to subscribe $40,000 to that road, but owing to disagreement between the Board of Commissioners and the Railroad authorities the commissioners refused to issue the bonds. Whereupon the railroad au thorities sued the town, and upon the case coming up for trial the matter was compromised by the Board of Commissioners agreeing to make a donation of $20,000 to the road in stead of subscribing $40,000 and re leasing all interest in the. road, and the bonds were accordingly iesued and delivered to the Railroad Com pany who sold them to the Union Bank, of Richmond, Va., and ap plied the proceeds to the obligations of the road in compliance vith the judgment of the compromise. The panic came on just about the time the suit was ended and the railroad company has not as yet been able to complete the road, though less than one-third of a mile remains to be graded so we are informed. Reasons not now necessary to men tion induced the Board of Town Commissioners to refuse to pay the interest on the bonds which they had donated to the road, and the bank brought suit. At the November Term of Granville Superior Court in 1894, the case came up for trial be fore Judge Hoke, who, by the way, made many warm friends in Gran ville, and who rendered judgment in favor of the town. An appeal was taken and the Supreme Court of the State reversed the decision of the distinguished jurist, holding in effect that the Town of Oxford had the au thority to make the donation and was liable on the debt. The ease came back for trial be fore His Honor Judge Starbuck at this term of the Granville Superior Court on Saturday who found all is sues in favor' of the Union Bank. We are informed by Major B. S. Royster, one of the able counsel for the town, that an appeal will be ta ken to the Supreme Court while the cost continues to pile up to be liquid dated by the taxpayers. The Bank was represented by Mr. James Manning, an able attorney of Durham, Judge Leake, of Richmond, and our talented young townsman, J. Crawford Biggs, whose speech by the way has been highly-complimen- ted by many of our citizens. The town was represented by Dr. M. V. Lanier, Col. L. C. Edwards, Major B. S. Royster, of Oxford, and Capt. Robert Burton, of Raleigh, and Maj. W. A. Guthrie, of Durham, one of the able counsel for the Southern Railway. It is not generally supposed that the average country editor kuows much law, but we do not see how the Board of Town Commissioners can hope ever to avoid the payment of the debt after they compromised the first suit, and issued and delivered the bonds in accordance with the judgment, and the bonds were sold to innocent purchasers. To repudi ate the debt would would in our hum ble opinion give Oxford a blacker eye than ever the South Oxford Land boom gave it. We are an ardent advocate of the Railroad, because we are satined it is for the best interest of our town, purely on the ground that the com pletion of the road will add much to the material prosperity of Oxford in whose sole interest we most assured ly believe the projectors of the road had at heart. Now would it not be better anyhow for us all to get together, and push the road right through and reclaim our own territory by connecting with the Dnrham & Northern Road. It would result in great benefit to Oxford, and will at least put us on an equal footing with other towns and infuse new life into us all. We say hurrah for the Oxford & Coast Line road, and let bygones be by gones. Let's have a long pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether once more for old Oxford and make her as she deserves to be the Queen City of the Golden Belt and the best tobacco market in this State or Virginia. THE TRAVELLERS. Attention Farmers. Lookout and don't forget the fact that the Oxford tobacco will close on Saturday December 21, and open up on January 1, 1895, with our grand brigade of buyers heavily heeled with the cold and musty cash, so be sure to shoot your tobacco in and get big money as prices have ad vanced all along the line, and now Oxford is a "regular hummer" as a tobacco market if we don't agree on other matters. Well, it will be un- doubtedly smooth- when the wrink les get out. and in the mean time we throw up our new derby (bought on a credit) and say hurrah tor Oxford and Oxford & Coast Line Railroad, and, oh, how anxious we are to see the through sleepers taken off. As an emergency medicine, Ayre's Cherry Pectoral takes the lead or all oth er remedies For the relief and cure of croup, whooping-cousrh, sore throat, and the dangerous pulmonary troubles to which the young are so liable, it is inval uable, being prompt to act, a sure cure.

Parham left Tuesday for Richmond to consult an oculist about, his eyes, from which he has suffered for some time7.

On Friday, the 29th ultimo, we had the pleasure of entertaining as our guests quite a large number of our correspondents and we did our best to give them such a dinner as the better half of the old man was able to get up on the day succeed ing Thanksgiving day. We would have had the dinner on Thanksgiv ing, but it will be readily understood by our brethren of the quill if not bythe public at large that some of our patrons were just a little bit in arrears and the average editor of the period is not included in the list of gold bugs, nor is the credit of the members of our guild blessed with any excess of credit at the meat markets and grocery stores. Never theless we got in on time with the help of our good lady the next day after Thanksgiving, and the only thing that marred the occasion was the absence of some of our esteem ed correspondents. Whether they failed to come because they have heard so much about delinquent pat rons and starving editors or not we do not quite understand. The bright faces of the fair portion of our cor respondents were sadly missed by us, and we thought we accidentally discovered sadness in the counte nance of our "single blessed" corre spondents, particularly in that of a certain sprightly and intellectual widower, who is quite a favorite among the fair sex, for occasionally he seemed to be staring at vacancy with a thoughtful, musing look that might not have been noticed by the casual observer yet was very evident to us. While our best efforts and those of Mrs. Britt were put forth to give as good a dinner as our exchequer would admit we feel that it was but a feeble expression of our apprecia tion of the gratitude we owe our correspondents for their faithful re membrance each week in purveying news tor the Public Ledger, which goes so far on account of their as sistance to give it rank as one of the best local papers in the State. We hope they will all continue their in teresting contributions of news dish ed up in their usual terse and spicy style. Stand by Home Talent. Why cannot we all stand together and patronage home institutions and home people i We are a strong be lieyer in home institution, and there fore with all the legal talent we have in our midst, admitted by our people to be equal to any in the btate, we haye never seen the necessity tor our Town Commissioners going to Dur ham and employing Major W. A. Guthrie, attorney for the Southern Railroad, and then on to Raleigh and employ Robt. Burton, Esq., whp turns out to possess no more legal learning than that of our home bar, and do not pay one cent of taxes but get good nice fees to represent our town in fighting the pay ment of the $20,000 bonds issued to Oxford & Coast Line under a com promise by the Board of Town Com missioners and purchased by the Union Bank of Richmond, Va., or with any other parties, Let us stand together, do away with rule or ruin policy, and show our appreciation of our home talent and institutions, that is the way to build up our com munity. Apply this principle and we will soon have a united people. Yes, united we go forward, divided we are forced to drop out the pro cession and see other towns reap the fruits of united action in everything that tends to push them forward. We Regret to Lose Him. On Monday that clever and tried Democrat, Mr. J. H. House, of Wil ton, stepped into our office and bid us good-bye, saying, "I am going back to my old home at Gaston and wish you and the Public Ledger great prosperity along with the good people of old Granville. When I first came to Granville I intended staying only two or three years but prolonged my visit to eleven, and never lived among a better people." We regret to lose from our county so valuable a citizen as Mr. House, and the best wishes of a host of friends go with him back to his old home in Halifax. If you are anxious to find the most re liable blood purifier, read in Ayre's Al manac the testimonials of those who have been cured of such terrible diseases as catarrh, rheumatism,, and scoffala, by the use of Ayre's Sarsaparilla. Then govern yourselves accordingly. LONG BROS.' COLUMN. There's But One Honest Effort To Put Forth, It roust be done in an honest way.

In buying Shoes if you get Shoes that wear out in an unreasonably ehort time, it is not due to bad luck. It is because they were either poorlv made or made of inferior leather.
