Little Minnows of News Caught in the Stream of a Week's Happenings Work has again begun on the new Baptist Church. The Misses Graham are now en joying a handsome new piano. The foundations to the new buildings at the Orphan Asylum will soon be completed. The fine rains of last week caused thousands and thousands of tobacco plants to be set out in Gran ville. Mr. J. F. White has treated him self to a handsome Babcock phaeton. This excellent make is soldjoy Messrs. Edwards & Winston. Engineer Watkins, of the O. & H. road is quite happy now, as his locamotive has returned from the shop, and is in a fine condition. Mr. H. H. Eatman placed on our table Friday a bunch of nice ripe cherries. They are the earliest we ever saw bfiug ripe on the first day of May. The paint brush under the skill ful manipulation of our friend Ball Smith, is transforming the Oxford Female Seminary into a neat and attractive building. Having axes to grind is a com mon political weakness, but if one is not in high favor with the combine he generally vents his spleen by try ing to split the party. Everything in the gardens and fields are now growing at a rapid rate since the recent copious rains. A large quantity of tobacco has been set out, the earliest for years. On yesterday (Thursday) the in fant son of Mr. and Mrs. Nat Renn, of Durham, who died at that place with measles and whooping cough, was brought to Oxford for burial. It is now said that Mr. Thos. W. Winston owns the finest cow in Ox ford, while Mr. W. J. Pitchford, just outside the corporation has one that gives 4 gallons and one quart per day. Mr. E. H. Crenshaw, the live young merchant of Main Street, has parted company with a handsome looking mustache, and looks like a boy in his teens, just stepping out on the carpet. For the benefit of the Tax pay ers of Oxford, we publish this week the financial statement of the town, as but few of the people will see it stuck up on a board in the Court Hotme corridor. The ladies of the Baptist church will give an ice cream and strawber- ry festeval at the Farmers Ware house on Tuesday afternoon, com mencing at 4 and ending at 10 o'clock. Everybody inyited to at tend. It remains to be seen whether the National Democracy will remem ber that silver is the real money of the working classes. If they des clare for a gold standard, it will be in the interest of Wall Street, Trust and Combines. School commencement season is right on the peoule and many of the coming sweet girl graduates are thinking more of what they will wear in the way of a graduating gown then than of the way they will stand in their class. It is a pleasure to know that a post office has been established at Fairport, which will prove a great convenience to the people of that section. We want to still increase the list of subscribers to the Public Ledger in that locality. The work of improving the steets will stop in a few days, as they are now in good condition. Good and lasting work has been done in this line under the direction of Street Commissioner, J. F. Edwards, ef ficiently assisted by Chief Renn. The Sunday Schools of the Bap tist and Presbyterian chu-rches will pic-mc to morrow at the Taylor place, Salem township, where Mr. Roy Currin now lives. It is one of the prettiest country seats in Gran ville and we fell sure the children along with grown folks will have a pleasant day. It is said that there is not a fourth of the crop of tobacco in the hands of the producer. The crop has sold for the lowest prices in years, and must be on account of the gold standard basis, as all products haye gone down in prices under the Cleveland-Sherman plan of contract ing the currency. We regret very much indeed that in our issue of April the 10th we stated that Nick Goss had served out a sentence of 4 months in the county jail. It was not our friend Nick Goss, but Frank Goss, and we take erreat pleasure in making the correction and thus apoligize for the mistake, as we were misinformed as to the ffiven name of the Mr. Goss that was put in jail by the United States. Court for 4 months. Our subscribers on the star route that ffoes our from Stovall failed to get their last week's Pudlic Led- nvv until Timsdav. The editor is not to blame, as we put the paper in thfi nost office at Oxford Thursday evening and its arriyal no sooner is due to the oversight or our post masifir. who bv some means over looked the bag until Saturday after noon. Indeed wt are veiy sorry mat we have had so much trouble recent lxr in o-Attinc the Daoer to our coun try subscribers, and trust there will be no more complaint in the future. COUNTY COnniSSIONERS Holding the Finances Down on non day. The Board of County Commission ers met in their room in the Court House on Monday at 10 o'clock, with all the members, along with the Clerk seated around the table. The able county attorney, Mr. N. B. Cannady, who has been quite sick 5 weeks with the rheumatism, was present on crutches, but being quite weak only remained a short time. We were greatly pleased to see him out if he was on crutches. As usual the great rebate mill was put in motion and many persons were allowed rebate on double tax and property erroneously enlisted. It strikes us that if the Board would strickly enforce their rules, they would not at every meeting be both ered with the rebate question. The pauper list of the county is becoming a great burden upon the tax payers and the list grows larger at a rapid rate. Can that not be a stop put to this wholesale business? A halt should be called somewhere, and it would be well for the County Commissioners to establish some rules in regard placing people on the outside pauper list. No doubt they are being imposed upon in many cases. At this meeting Catherine Southerlin, Romelus Walker, Andrew Wilkerson, and Sandy Kit trell were placed on the outside pau per Ust at $1.00 each. Sandy Kit trell was so greedy that he wanted the Commissioners to go back to February to pay him which was re fused. Ordered that T. D. Waller be aps pointed to haye the outside steps to the jail repaired or rebuilt as the case may be. Ordered that J. K. Wood be ap pointed to assist T. D. Waller to set tle with the County Treasurer. The couty had to shell out $57. G5 to run Hotel De Royster for April. Sheriff Cozart reported the follow ing taxes collected for April: State, $783,32; School, $703,79; County, $775,03; Railroad, $176.88. Total, $2,439,02. The hung juries at the last term of court cost the county $21.00 for board alone, added to this is $2.00 each night for an officer, making $6-00 for three nights. The three eases were ciyil ones, and we can not see why the county has to shell out money to pay hung juries in civil cases. Is it just, is it just? A Pretty Home Marriage. On Wednesday morning at eleven o'clock, May 6th, Miss Beulah Amiss Mitchell, daughter of our townsman Mr. W. L. Mitchell, was united in marriage to Mr. Clem Archie Daniel, book-keeper for the firm of Harris & Keesler, Charlotte, N. C. The ceremony of the Methodist church was performed by Rev. J. B Hurley in the presence of the imme diate friends and relatives of the contracting parties. The front par lor or the handsome residence on Broad street was tastefully decorated with the beautiful roses of May. The bride was becomingly attired in a nanasome going-away gown oi brown ladies cloth and never looked more charming than on this happy occasion. The groom was tor several years employed as book-keeper in the firm of A. Landis & Sons and in that time made many warm and lasting friends who rejoice with him in his good for- tund. The large number of handsome and valuable presents they received from friends in various parts of the State are proofs of the high esteem in which these young people are held. Oxford is proud of her fair daughters and regrets to have them make their homes elsewhere but we have only congratulations to offer and best wishes for a long and happy life. Mr. Daniel was accompanied by Messrs. C. W. Brown, of Charlotte, J. De Morris and his brother, R. E. Daniel, of Roxboro. Special Rates From Oxford.

C, FRIDAY, MAY HUNICIPAL ELECTION. Not a Single Vote Cast Against flajor B. S. Royster. Our town election on Monday was the quietest for years, and only a small vote. It was a one-sided affair, as the vote will show. Our town government will continue in good hands, headed by the talented and very popular Major B. S. Royster, who was elected for the fourth time with not a single vote against him. We do not suppose such a thing ever happened before in Oxford, and the editor congratulates him upon such a happy event. The Commissioners elected are as follows: J. G. Hall, W. L. Mitchell, J. F. Edwards, J. B. Booth, J. Y. aris, W. C. Currin and Sol Cooper. A citizens ticket was voted for that endorsed Mayor Royssr and Mr. J. Y. Paris, for Commissioner, with the following other names upon it E. Wright, J. D. Brooks, Alex Crews, C. M. Rogers, T. Lanier and John W, Hunt. This ticket was de feated by about three to-one. We believe the Board elected will prove an economical one, and will use their best efforts to advance the interest of the town, encouraging everything that will redown to the prosperity of Oxford. We are well pleased with our town authorities and tender them our hearty co-operation in working for the good of our people. liittrell Kicks. A Sunday School was organized at Union Chappel church Sunday. Miss Lula M. Powess, of Charlotte, N. C, is visiting Miss Maggie Reid, of Kittrell.

Kittrell held its usual town elec tion on last Monday, and elected for the ensuing year, Col. B. A, Capehart, Mayor, Mr. Joseph Biggs, Chief of Police, Messrs. C. W." Ra ney, T. H. Crudup, D. A. Harville, Town Commissioners. On Monday last the Federation of Homing Pigeon Fanciers, of Wash ington, D. C, sent by express to Mr. L. Reid, agent, 650 Homing Pig eons for liberation on Tuesday at 5 a. m. This was the largest number ever turned loose here at once. Mr. and Mrs. John M. Wester and iamily, or Jiilberton, lia., arrived in Kittrell Sunday morning on the At lanta Special. Mr. Wester returned Tuesday to Elberton. leaving his wife in the hands of her mother, Mrs. J. C. Reid. Mrs. Wester has been in poor health for some time but we are glad to say that she is much improved since her arrival here. On last Saturday Mr. John Bal low, Southern Express Route Agent, of Washington, D. C, arrived in Kittrell with 350 carrier Pigeons to be liberated on Sunday morning at 6 o'clock, a. m., but owing to the weathsr being cloudy they were not turned loose until 7 a. m. They at once made their way up high and then disappeared in a Northern di rection. Last Tuesday's News and Observ er announced the death of Mrs.,R. B. Raney, at the Yarborough House, Raleigh. Mrs. Raney had made but few visits to Kittrell, but had made many friends. Mrs. Raney was much loved by all who knew her as she was a model woman. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Raney, Miss Lallie Raney and Mr. Ira T. Hunt, of Kittrell attended the funeral, which took place in italeigh. lhe people or Kittrell greatly sympathize with the bereaved ones in this their hour of sore bereavement.

Meeting of the Third-Party tive Committee. Execu- The Executiye Committee of the Populists of Granville-county met in Oxford on Monday last in the court room, with Mr. Glaude Allen as chairman. There was a full attend ance. The meeting was a secret one, and the only thing we could learn was that it was in full sympathy with Senator Butler in his recent manifesto; not being in favor of fusion with the Republicans on the spoil system, but strictly adhering to free silver as the bed rock 'of principles. lhe great hght with the masses now is tor tree silver against the gold standard monopolists, whose eyery movement shows that -they intend to grind the laboring people down to powder in order to put mil- ions into their pockets. Second Messiah Garrett, the great oracle of Vance, who said in the last campaign on the stump when he stepped down as a candidate for the egislature in order to support a negro, I thank tiod that the time has come when I can pin a negro's ears back, grease him and swallow him," was here with Plummer Row- and. The object of their visit was to get them to turn their backs on Butler, the yery man that brought such demagogues as they are prov ing to be to the front, but they did not succeed. The .Messiah spurted wisdom for hours, in fact grew dra matic, when late in the evening the hauling of guano through the street, the odor of which pregnated the nostrils of the orator and getting a good whin: of it, and no doubt at the same time hearning the distant tick of an old rat clock over in Vance. concluded it was time for him and dear Plummer Rowland to seek the dark shades of Vanee county and eft crestfallen as the venom which they spit out against Butler fell still born upon the ears of his followers in Granville. The trouble with the second Me sian (wno is said to oe a good ora tor) is that he wants to beat Stroud A A 1 . ft J- m ror tne nomination tor congress in the 4th District and wanted the Pops in Granville, no doubt, to aid him in his traiterous work.

Granviile Litigants Enjoy its Ful Benefits Last Week. We regret that the duty is imposed upon us as a public "journalist to call the attention of our people to fair specimen of the non-partizan judiciary as inaugurated by Senator Butler m North-Carolina in his fu sion with the Republicans at the last election. Our people eyer since that time have enioyed to the fullest extent- the fruits of such a judiciary, as has fallen to the lot ot our people to be afflicted with it ever since tie election took place. We always hate to criticise or state unpleasant facts which happen in court, but injustice to the. people we must state fact and let the people judge lor them selves. The last court began on the civil calendar on Wednesday of the firs week, much earlier than has been the case heretofore, and had a fair showing at the civil docket for ten long days, and we state that with the exception of two cases all the rest tried should not have consumed more than one hour. The two cases above referred to should haye been tried in half day each. The result is that the court never tried any case on the calendar for the second week. Now it does seem to us that all this de lay and eost to litigants and taxpay ers is the direct result of the manner in which the court conducted its bus iness while in session. Any democratic Judge tnat we have in the State at this time would have taken the civil calendar and tried every case on the docket in T.I . days, it so nappens some times in court that the Sheriff is party to suits, and we had such a case at our last term, and we are sorry to state that such a spectacle took place as did in the case of Crenshaw vs. Co zart, when the court had to direct some one else to select talis jurors Now the Court directed the Clerk to summon jurors, and the said officer showing such partizan bias as to se lect such totally incompetent colored jurdrs that the counsel for the plain tiff arose in open court and appealed to Judge Coble to stop a meddling Deputy Sheriff who was suggesting and pointing out to the Clerk jurors to sit on his chief's ease, and at the same time was acting as Deputy Clerk. The Court was forced to in terfere and stop this high-handed in sult to justice. Such proceedings as this only gives our people a full insight as to what is being done by the great non-par-tixan judiciary promulgated by fu sion, which is costing thousands and thousands of dollars to the people of North Carolina. We leave it to the tavpayers to take the case and ask them" if they like the medicine to have the prescription refilled for '96 which they took in 1894. As the strength of a building depends upon the solidity of its foundation, so health depends upon the condition of the blood. To expel impurities and cause the vital fluid to become vigorous and life-giving, Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the most powerful and effective medicine in use. THE TRAVELLERS.
