Owing to the down poor of rain, we have but little to tell or readers in a local line this week. Be sure and not forget "The Evening in Dixie,'1 at the Opera House Tuesday evening April 7th. The answer to Shoe Strings' questions by Nicholas in last week's issue should have been wind instead of wink. Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Shaw are keeping house. They occupy the residence lately vacated by Dr. J. P. Stedman- If you wish to know where to get spring goods the cheapest, why read the advertisements in the Pub lic Ledger. Mr. R. C. Brown, of Danville, Va., has removed his family to Ox ford, and occupies the Hicks house on College St. Rev. R. T. Vann occupied the pulpit of the Baptist church on Sun, day night, and preached a most in& teresting sermon. A Western man whipped his wife because his breakfast was cold. His mother-in-law came upon the scene and threw a kettle of boiling water over him. It was hot enough for him then. Mr. Geo. Fergerson is pulling the throttle this week on the O. & H. Road in place of Mr. Watkins. It is said he is off suffering with a case of heart disease caused by the win some smiles of a facinating young lady. The tour during last month of Polk Miller, in aid of the Vance Me morial Fund, is ended. It was a success. The net result to the fund approximates fl, 000. The fund now amounts to about $2,000. At least $7,500 is needed. Invitations are out announcing the marriage of Miss Susan B. Gulick, sister of our greatly esteemed townsman, Mr. W. M. Guiick, to Mr. Thos. B. Taylor, at the Church of Good Shepherd, Columbia, S. C., Thursday morning, April 9, at 10:30. While we were yet in the third month of leap year news comes from Kentucky that a license for the mar riage ot a boy or la to a woman or 40 has been taken out. It must be that the colonels are very wary when a woman has to take up with such young fry as this. We are very glad to see that at last our town authorities are de termined to give us better sidewalks. They have been needed for several years, and in the name of the people we thank them most heartily witn the hope that the grand and glori ous work will continue. The question has been asked whether the three Bills that hang around the Court House have got their bills in for whooping up Billy Reed for President? But we can an swer that Billy McKinley has, if he has not got a single man in town wearing one of his buttons, while while Billy Reed has only two lone buttons. The Superior Court Clerk's of-1 fice this week has been in charge of Mr. J. W. Brown, as it is said that Mr. J. M. Sikes and Dr. A. J. Dalby are canvassing among their respec tive leaders in the county in the in terest ot fusion. This accounts for Dr. Dalby's careless talk about free silver, as his platform must be for spoils only. For the first time in the history of the Old Dominion a woman and a pretty one, too has been elected to a position of public trust. The position is that of a school trustee in the county of King William. The constitution of the state will not, however, permit any of her sex to hold an office, and consequently this innovation can not be carried out. - At Mavdon, the new town near Madison, nine children were born in one day. A Mr. Simpson gives this information to the Mt. Airy News and says six of the children were born to three ladies, each lady giv ing birth to twins, and the fourth triplets total 9 children. Mr. Simp son also says, if any body doubts it he will prove it or whip his infor mant. Durham Sun says, no man or set of men are infallible. All polit ical parties being made up of men are fallible and make mistakes. The Democratic party has made mistakes, as has all other parties, but the place for a Demociat to correct the mis takes of his party is inside his party. Nothing is or can be gained by chasing after every "will o' tne wisp'' that passes along. Messrs. H. A. Stem and son, R. A., of Stem, and S. Tippett, of Fish ing Creek, called to see the editor Thursday. We were glad to learn from Mr. Stem that his better half is meeting with great success in rais ing chickens. She has 140 young ones and 7 hens setting. We know such a home must be a favorite re sort for the preachers as Mrs. Stem never sells any chickens or eggs. Mr. J. K. Wood has added a handsome hearse to his undertaking department. Rev. Dr. E. A. Yates, Presiding Elder, will ocsupy the pulpit of the Methodist church Sunday morning and night. Rev. J. Ernest Thacker has re turned from Louisburg where he held a very successful meeting, with 1G conversions and some 40 re consecrations. We get out a 5 page paper this week, and we ask you to read the advertisements, and seek first the bargains offered you through the columns of your county paper. Sam Littlejohn, who stands high as a barber and good colored citizen, will open a barber shop of his own in a few days in the old Crawford drug store on Main street. We wish him success. Our community will be sorry to part with the able Rev. J. Ernest Thacker, who has received and ac cepted a call to the Stuart Robinson Memorial Presbyterian church at Louisville, Ky. He will preach his last sermon on Sunday next, greatly to the regret not only of bis congre gation but the other denominations of the town. The laying of the corner stone of St. Luke's Christian church, col ored, will take place on Monday next, commencing at 1 o'clock. The address on this occasion will be de livered by Tazwell L. Taylor. Ad dresses will be delivered also by Mayor B. S. Royster and Dr. E. T. White. The public are cordially in vited to be present and witness the ceremonies. Mr. E. N. Williams, of Moulton, Franklin county, was a pleasant visitor to the Public Ledger Thurs day. He informs us that he lives under the shadow of Mr. John J. Allen, the famous speller of North Carolina, and a truer Democrat never fluttered. Here's to you friend Allen, and may you be able to fiddle all the good Pops of your section back into the Democratic party. Yesterday was indeed a great day for the lovers of beautiful and the ladies were out taking in the different Miliinery openings of the town. The display of elegant new patterns of spring bonnets and hats was simply immense, and the trim mings were just lovely and tasty in designs. Of course Misses Francis, Day and Kronheimers were in their glory and had on their sweetest and entrancing smiles. While the Oxford market con tinues to reap the highest averages for all grades of tobacco, it is still handicapped to some extent by the non completion of the Oxford & Coast Line Railroad, especially dur ing the rainy seasons. This road would be a splendid feeder to our town, and we believe we do not ex aggerate when we say that Oxford has at the lowest calculation lost $20,000 a year on account of the non completion of the road. Busi ness men of Oxford will you put this matter in your pipes and smoke it for a short time, and see if we are mistaken in our assertion? Kingsbury Answers Dockery. "Kurnel" Dockery sends us a characteristic message through a friend "That we have not religion enough to be a gentleman." That would shock and mortify ns, and compel us to self-examination and repentance, if we really thought that the Kurnel had any proper conception of what a ''gentleman" is. We would not be a "gentle man" after his standard or type at any rate. Wilmington Messenger. "Goodby Old Party, Goodby." The Mrs. Tucker, of Kansas, who tied her husband by the thumbs to a bed post and flogged him with a cowhide, is the woman who first sang "Goodby, Old Party, Goodby," on the political stump when the Populists sent Pefrer s whiskers to the Senate to succeed Ingalls. She is a politician and a stump speaker, like lelhn Lease, in his speech during the campaign Peffer used to compliment Mrs. lucker on her ex cellent qualities, and commend her to other women as an example. Sup pose Mrs. Peffer were to take pat tern after her ! A Victim. We are a victim to the slick, oily tongue building and loan association agent. Oh, he was such a nice man and told a beautiful story, and we tumbled to the racket and took some shares in the Metropolitan Building and Loan Association, of Richmond, Va. We take it the company is all right, but the agent deceived us by saying that we could pay in $3 per month, same as a savings bank, and at the end of 12 months if we want ed our money could draw it out with 6 per cent, interest. He did not tell us that he woul-d charge us $5 20 for the privilege of allowing his com pany to handle our $36 for twelve months. Therefore we warn all our people to fight shy of such traps and to let severely alone such building and loan agents or you will be vic timized. We take it we got off light if we did pay $3.20 for our experi ence. FOR SALE. A second-hand Hammond type writer for sale cheap. Machine in good repair and can be gotten at a bargain.

Among the leading commercial in dustries that give tone and stability to our business interests and stamps Oxford as a good place to secure bar gains, the enterprise conducted by Mr. B. F. Kronheimer, Main street, is particularly prominent. This house which has gained such a firm hold upon the public favor occupies a handsome store room, which is stocked to overflowing with an ex cellent assortment of men's, youth's and children's Clothing in all the new and popular styles, and in the selection of which may be seen the vast amount of experience which Mr. Kronheimer brings to bear upon his business. These goods are all the products of the most celebrated manufacturers, and here one may be assured of receiving the best in every instance, while the price is invaria ble but extremely low. The Gents' Furnishing Department also maintains his high reputation as the criterion of style, and all that is new and desirable are on display in varied and enticing profusion. It is to such houses as this that offer every inducement in assortment, quality and price, and deal liberally and courteously with every customer that form the busy center of eyery town. Read the message of this firm to you in another column. Another Contest. The students of Mary Potter Me morial School and those of Hender son Institute, will contest for a Demorest gold medal, Friday night, April 3rd, beginning at 8 o'clock at the Opera House. Admission free, but to avoid being oveicrowded, we are sending out tickets, and have left a few at Mr. Hall's and Mr. Stedman's drug stores for the white people who are interested in such exercises and wish to attend. Respectfully, G. C. Shaw. A Distinguished Visitor. Durham correspondent of News & Observer says : "Durham is always proud to recall the good and distin guished men who come and go in our midst. Tuesday for a while a gen tleman mingled and commingled with this people who has a warm place in the hearts of the best people of this city. This man was no less a personage than Col. B. S. Royster, Mayor of that beautiful and thriving town, Oxford. He is a gentleman eminent in his profession, law. Yet he has found time to step aside in the domain of politics and is now serving his fourth term as mayor of Oxford. Col. Royster is a most ge nial gentleman, and it is always a pleasure to meet with him.." Thanks Caleb, "you do us proud" when you speaks so nicely about our town and our gallant, warm hearted citizen. Death, the Reaper. We are sorry to have to chronicle the death of the wife of our highly esteemed young friend, Mr. W. B. Adcock, of Oak Hill,jwhich occurred on Tuesday night, after an illness of about one month.' Mrs. Adcock was a good woman, kind neighbor and highly esteemed in Oak Hill. She was a faithful member of Mountain Creek Baptist church, and leaves a devoted hus band and 4 children to mourn her passing away. &ne was zts years ot age, and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Williams, of Oak Hill township. The interment took place Thurs day at the old family grave yard on the farm of Mr. J. W. Adcock, witnessed by a large number of relatiyes and friends. Our warmest condolence go out to our friend in the hour of his sore affliction. Butler Issues His Edict to the Reps. The News and Observer of April 2 publishes in full Senator Butler's ultimatum on fusion and says the Populists must have the Governor, Legislature and a Free Silver Sena tor to succeed Pritchard, and no gold bug need apply. We wonder if the Populists will prove dead game in favor of free silver instead of pie ? Holton, Chairman Republican Com mittee says, fusion nevei on Butler's plan as the Republicans are the big end of combine and will not give the Populists everything. Poor Second Messiah Garrett, who wants to run for Congress in 4th district, will get choked at this news and his eyes will bulge out as far as they did when he "thanked God the time had come when he could swallow a negro" if it did make him turn black in the face, with his rat clock not at hand to call time when the coon struck bottom. A tired stomach is very much like a sprained ankle. If you suffer from any of the symptoms of dyspepsia, your stom ach is tired. It needs a crutch. We must relieve it of all work for a time, or until it is restored to its natural strength To do this successful, we must use a food which is already digested outside of the body, and which will aid the dige-tion ot other foods that may be taken with it. Such a product is the Shaker Digestive Cordial. The Shakers have utilized the digestive principles present in plants for the manu facture of this article, and its success has been truly phenomenal. You can try it for the nominal sum of 10 cents, as sample bottle, are sold by all druggists at this price. Laxol is the best medicine for children. Doctors recommend it In place of Castor Oil. FASHION SUPREME Is What Reigns at Landls & Easton's Dry Goods Emporium. The name Landis has long been before Ihe public of this and the surrounding counties and Capt. Wil lie Landis has inherited the talents of his father as a merchant and his partner, Cam Easton, is known far and wide as one of the first class merchants of Oxford. Such a firm has all the dash, courtesy and ac commodating spirit coupled with the sound judgment and knowledge of their bnsiness which guarantee suc cess. We mean what we say when we tell our readers that these are live, wide-awake young gentlemen and we heartily congratulate the public on having such a firm in our midst to cater to the public taste. Their large advertisement tells that they have got the enterprise and push and will alwavs be found in the front rank. They have in their employ Mr. John Haskins, one of the rising jToung gentlemen from the neighborhood of Stem, a section from which the merchants of Oxford draw large patronage, and our friend Haskins being extremely popular with all classes particularly the la dies he is a tower of strength and adds lareely to the sales of his em ploye Miss Francis, of Baltimore, who is in charge of the millinery depart ment, which embraces a large and varied assortment of pretty things and latest fads, stands strictly first class in the department over which she so successfully presides. She is in need of no words of praise from us. Her reputation is ivell estab lished and on a firm basis. But read the advertisement of Landis & Eas ton as it speaks for itself of the many bargains they are offering and the quality of their goods. We ad vise you to take in the grand display as it will be money in your inside pocket for Willie .Landis says so. Dana on Butler. It is impossible not to quiver with emotion at the thought of the Hon. Marion Butler, the Populist Senator from North Carolina. He stands upon the mountains and lets his voice roll thunderously down. He shins up to the top of the Washing ton Monument and turns plain and ornamental concentric Hip -flaps to the ground. He hangs from the dome of the Capitol with his stately feet. He welters in the unfathom able main of his own speeches. He revolves between Washington and his own metropolis of Honeycutt's in an orbitt of elemental fire. Do not fuse, he cries to his brethren in wisdom. Stick forever and forever to the essential and immortal ratio of 10 to 1. And all the tar and turpintine in the old North State flames at his flaming words; and all the Populists go into the forest clearings and take off their heads for a nights rest rrorn the preplexities of thought.

In the list of busi ness houses in Oxford the firm of Paris Bros, is au important factor. This enterprise has steadily increas ed in prosperity and fame from its inception to the present time. They are located in the handsome new store room next to the bank which contains a fine stock of for eign and domestic dry goods, dress fabrics, linens, laces, underwear, ho siery, gloyes, handkerchiefs, notions, and fancy goods which even delight a King to get down from his high position and sell to bargain seekers. Yes, he loves to dwell among the people even it he is compelled to look over many of their heads, but Josh says his handsome assistant, Harry Williams, is low enough to meet the emergency and is a winner in dis pensing bargains to all who seek them at Paris Bros. The store is equipped throughout with every facility and Paris Bros, handle only the best quality of goods in each department and ihe stock is well assorted and selected, and and this is in every way one of our leading Dry Goods and Shoo Empo riums and tho proprietors are among our most respected and esteemed business men and citizens.
