Be sure and read Edwards & Winston's new advertisement telling you where to get holiday goods of a substantial character. On Monday night a bold thief entered the pantry of Mr. T. B.

We are gratified to learn that the little son of Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Wilkinson, who has been seriously ill, is gradually improving. The little folks are beginning to dream of Santa Claus, and the vis ions are as sweet and delightful as the hopes of seeing Heaven are to any sincere Christian. Mr. Tom Husketh, who lost his pocket book containing $45 one day last week while going home, re covered it as one of his neighbors happened to find it in the road. Our esteemed friend, Mr. S. H.

Mr. Stevenson, engineer at the Orphan Asylum, one day the past week started to walk into the boiler room and stumbled and fell, strik ing his head against the boiler. He was knocked senseless and did not recover for half an hour. We are glad to learn he has about recovered. The different Methodist congre gations in Granyille along with that of Oxford station no doubt will be greatly pleased at the Bishop's re turning their old pastors, Revs. G. B. Perry, B. C. Allred and J. B. Hurley. All of these gentlemen are able and zealous workers in the vine yard of the Lord, and may the year 1896 be the most successful of their ministry.

OXFORD, N. AN OLD LADY DIES SUDDENLY. Mrs. John Blacknall Passed Away on Thursday Night. This lady who was the daughter of the late Gen. W. S. Clanahan died in Oxford on Thursday, Dec. 12th. She had just returned from a trip to Atlanta Exposition where she had spent a week, At the time of her departure for the Exposition she was in her usual health, and she died rather suddenly on the night of her relurn home; it was a matter of great surprise as well as regret to her friends when the intelligence reach ed their ears of her demise. It seems she was taken sick on the train. At Durham on her way back home she had to have assistance in getting on the Oxford train, and those who gave her the necessary assist ance discovered that she was ex tremely feeble. After she was placed on her seat in the car it was soon discovered that she was in a very, weak condition, and with great ten dency to faint' Dr. Sam Booio, Oxford, happened to be in the train and administered stimulant which seemed to revive her somewhat, but she was nevertheless quite much prostrated on arriving at Oxford, so much so that she had to be carried and put in the Osborn House hack. She herself did not realize the se verity of her attack. She thought she was simply in need of rest, but it seems that death had marked her for his victim. She bad not been ong in her sleeping room ere her spirit took its flight into the great eternity. She was known as a very excellent ady who was most beloved by those who knew her best. Her's was a quiet gentle nature, and she was a good mother and wife until the death of her beloved husband, the late John Blacknall. She leaves several children, among the number Mrs. Mary Griffin, wife of Key. J. R. Grif fith, of Virginia Conference. The interment took place last Fris day afternoon in Elmwood Ceme tery. December Wedding. Mr, Will Dorsey and Miss Ninnie, daughter of Mr. and Mr. W. A. Parham, were married at the home of the bride's father at Watkins, N. C, Tuesday atternoon at 4 o'clock. The ceremony was impressively per formed by Dr. R. H. Marsh and wit nessed by quite a number of rela tives and friends. After the marri age the happy young couple took their departure for a visit to the At- anta Exposition. The bride is an accomphsh6u and pretty young lady, and one of the belles of the neighborhood. Mr- Dorsey is a prosperous and popular young tiller or the son, ana has many friends. He has won a prize, and the Public Ledger extends its heartiest congratulations and wishes them a long and felicitous united ex istence. Christmas ! Christmas !

Edwards & Winston. The War Cloud. President Cleyeland sent a mes sage to Congress Tuesday standing squarely by the Monroe doctrine, and broadly intimates that unless Hing- and consents to arbitrate the Venz- uela boundary question that there will be war. The President has the unanimous enaorsation or uongress in this stand, and already bil's have been introduced in the Senate for the appropriation of $100,000,000 for a heavy increase in the national ar mament and for coast defences. The country is with the President, and the patriotism of the people is thoroughly aroused. But a clash of arms need not be looked for. John Bnll cannot afford it, and must back down from its present autocratic at titude. No Paper Next Week.

A. tfaliamg, Main Street C, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1895. BISHOP CHESHIRE. This Able Divine Preached at Episcopal Church Sunday. the Bishop Cheshire visited Oxford on Sunday last and occupied the pulpit of the Episcopal church. The .visit of a bishop is always an event of im portance when in his official capaci ty. The reason of this is because only men of ability and good judg ment and of christian character are selected as bishops. What a bishop says therefore and what he does will always have its influence. The two sermons preached Sunday by that most worthy and levelled headed divine, Bishop Cheshire, were gems of thought and full cf the Holy Ghost. He is, we believe, a bishop well worthy of his high calling, be ing possessed of learning, piety, in fluence and ability. No mistake was made when one so capable and so well qualified was chosen to succeed the late Bishop Lyman. At the morning service he con firmed a class of fou" and adminis tered the Holy Sacrament. The Rector, Rev. Mr. Plummer, is proving himself to be the right man in the right place, and his untiring zeal and energy is meeting with de served success. THE HOME MERCHANT. It is Your Duty to Stand by and Pat ronize Home People. The home merchamt is entitled to your trade and ought to have it, as against the itinerant dealer or the merchant of some distant eity, says the Durham Sun. He spends his money here. He builds a home which enhances the value of all property. He helped pay for the church in which you worship, and the school to which you send your children. He cannot afford to mis represent his goods or swindle you. Self-interest alone would prevent this. He stays with you in sunshine and storm, in times of prosperity and days of adversity. He bears his share of the burden of good govern ment. When a subscription paper is passed around he is first approach ed. These are a few of the reasons why you should patronixe the home merchant. And if he keeps the goods you want and sells them at the right price, and lets the fact be known by means of an advertisement in the Public Ledger he will be very apt to get his share of the trade. "Well Done, Good, and Faithful Ser vant." Mrs. Martha B.iEAylor died Dec 11th, 1895, in Oxford at the home of her neice, Mrs. John Paris, whither she had gone to be near the doctors for medical treatment. She was born July 11,1821. Mrs. Taylor was the daughter of General Norman, who was well and favorably known in the early history of Granyille county and the town of Oxford. She married Colonel R. P. Taylor in early life, and they built a beautiful home near Salem church. Both having decended from families of renown and affluence they had bright promise of worldly bliss, but finding yet "one thing needful" they sought and obtained the christian hope, and by Divine Grace developed most beautiful christian characters. On August 10, 1870, Col. Taylor was gathered home, and Mrs. Taylor was left to meet the responsibilities of life single handed, but she proved herself equal to the emergency, be ing of strong mind and resolute dis position she made somereputa'ionin the management of her farm. Soon after the death of her husband her sister in Texas died leaving six or phan children, these she received into her home and became a mother to them. She was kind and gener ous, a good neighbor and a faithful friend; being an exemplary chris tian she had a high sense of honor and abhored that which was mean and low. She had been a warm sup porter of the church during greater part of her life, and her attachment for it grew with the increase of years; though deprived by affliction in the last years of her life of wor shiping with the assembly of God's house, yet she enjoyed the visits of God's people and would uniformly invite the man of God to worship in her home. Her's was the beautiful ending of a long and useful life. Our loss is her eternal gain, earth is poorer, Heaven is richer. Her Neighbor. Marriage Bells Continue to Ring. Married, at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. Moses Dean, in Granville county, Wednesday 4 p. m., Mr. Walter Averett and Miss Fannie Dean. 'Squire Walters per formed the ceremony.

Senator Butler with considerable spread eagleism has called for the formation of what he is pleased to term "honest money club." Honest money is the kind of money the metal of which, if melted, would still be worth the face that was originally stamped on the coin. Now, none but a bold, bad man would dare to call silver dollars honest money at the present time, for if melted they would be worth only a little over 50 cents each; that is a trifle over half the face value of the coin. A man who talks in such a reckless way will bear watching very closely; he goes on to say (after an arraignment of the efforts of many of our leading citizens to better our conditions)that "If the above infamous schemes suc ceeds the hard times we now have will be made twice as hard and the liberty and prosperity of the Ameri can people will be sealed forever." Notice this, he speaks of "the hard times we now have"; if any reader needs further proof of the falseness of this statement, than his own judg ment as to the condition of trade, he can ask the first merchants he meets who will tell him that more goods have been sold in 1895 than the year preyious. This eminent statesman when writ ing the above well rounded sentence probably turned it over in his mind as he might have done a choice chew in his mouth, thinking all the time how well calculated it was to deceive those for whom it was designed. Looked at from this stand point But ler does not appear in a fayorable light. We will analyze further; all know how buzzards will collect around a diseased animal waitingly for its death. Butlei says "the lib erty and prosperity of the American people will be sealed forever"; strange is it not (?) that Butler is the only political buzzard to disern the rotten condition of the American commonwealth and gloat over it ! No honest citizen could, no patri ot would have said it. This man is the head and front of fusion, Thomas Settle or any self- I resDectinsr Republican cannot afford I. . -l i i :il n f : t.- l rt to striKe nanus whu iuanuu uunci.
