The Public Ledger this week is an exceptionally good local issue, and we take it that even those who sit around and criticise the editor will accord him at least the credit ol getting out one passable issue, but to tell the truth their opinions don't cut any ice in our back yard. On Wednesday evening a cy clone struck St. Louis at the rate of 80 miles an hour, killing hundreds of people. It raged for half an hour with great tury, blowing down many buildings and sinking many steam ers with all on board. To add to the horror many buildings caught fire and burned. It is reported 1,000 peo ple were killed and wounded. On Tuesday our warehouses en joyed good breaks of tobacco for this time ot year, and the highest mar ket prices were received for all errades, but even at that the weed sold at distressingly low prices.

T. J. Drewry, has proved a great success. Almost a Serious Fire. Tuesday night about 10 o'clock Oxford narrowly escaped a serious fire. Dr. Weir, the polite clerk at Dr. J. P. Stedman's, , in attempting to put out one of the large lamps, holding about one gallon of oil, it slipped out of the frame and fell to the floor. The oil ran over the floor in a blaze and it seemed at one time the store would be consumed, but the alarm was sounded and our citizens responded promptly, along with the heroes of the bucket brigade, Mr. Frank Edwards and Chief Renn, and succeeded after hard work in putting out the fire. The shelving and draw ers and prescription counter are charred, and the heat played havoc with the bottles in the rear or the prescription case, lhe damage is about $300, coyercd by insurance, it would be well for our business men to examine the hooks that hold their large lamps and see that they are all right and to be sure that lamps are in the frames before they are lit and thus avert fire that is liable to occur from falling lamps. We will stake the Oxford Bucket Brigade against any in the State on fighting Are, as it is composed of brave men who never flinch and bat tle until the fire is succumbed. By their courageous work Tuesday night they averted a serious conflagration. Let Us Stand Together. In the Populist party iu Granville are many of our good citizens who are honest in thf ir convictions, but take no stock in spoil hunters, and to these we earnestly appeal to place themselves on the side of the people for the protection of their homes and firesides. And we say with empha sis let every white man who believes in home rule and a government in State and county affairs controlled by white people, come together on one common plane hand in hand and save us fiom negro domination. Lay aside prejudice as our interests are one, remembering that our liberties are at stake in the approaching campaign. The masses of the people believe in free coinage of silver, and hence we see no reason why they cannot come together for their common good, especially since the money is sue has taken shape before the American people that forbids any middle ground between the masses and the gold-bugs, who are h eeding the farmers and business men of the South and West at every pore. Con sequently the great fight has narrow ed down between the people and the money sharks, lhe question now arises who shall rule: The people or the combined money power of Wall street and the Rothehilds of England?

Closing Exercises of this High Grade Institution of Learning. The closing exercises of this insti tution, held in the chapel of the school building, have been full of in terest to- those privileged to attend them. The recital on Wednesday even ing was of exceptional excellence, each one taking part showing the re sults of the earnest and painstaking instruction of their teacher, Miss Elizabeth Hilliard. The instrumen tal numbers were very accurately rendered and showed a thorough knowledge of and grounding m the foundation steps so essential to all successful or pleasing music. Those who were present a year ago noticed a marked advance in the proficiency of the same pupils who played at that time, notably Misses Laura Wil liams and Mary Phelps. Of those who have more recently commenced lessons, Misses Hettie Lyon and Mary Shotwell showed natural abil ity. The vocal selections were good and evidenced that much care and thoughtful study had been given to the development of each one's voice, as was cnown in tne singing ot Misses Lucy Webb, Annie Crews, Katie Briscoe and Master Cecil Daniel. The recitations by the younger children were particularly pleasing especially the one in unison by a class or seven girls and boys and Mr. Orator Puff, recited by Master Henry Cooper, elicited much applause. The recepton on Tuesday evening for the members of graduating class was yery enjoyable, but the crown ing event of the week was the Grad uating Exercises. The essays by the members of the graduating class, Misses Rosa Crews, Nora Boggan and Francis Phelps showed unusual thought and mental discipline. The diplomas were presented by flev. J. M. Horner, who made an appeal to the young ladies to live not for happiness, but for duty, for others not for self. . The piano selections by Misses Maud Wilcox and Dorothea Cog geshali were well and exquisitely rendered, as also the singing by Misses Maud Wilcox and May Hun dley. The program closed with reading of the roll of honor containing the names of those pupils whose aver age rank for the year was over 95. Death of Dr. Thos. H. Pritchard. The Baptist church of North Caro lina mourns the death of one of its brightest and hard working minis ters in the demise of Dr. Thos. H. Pritchard which occurred in New lrork Saturday morning, whither he had gone for treatment for Brights disease. He had many warm ad mirers in Oxford and Granville. In speaking of his death the Raleigh News and Observer says: He was "abundant in labors," not only filling his own pulpit but car rying on meetings in the suburbs in tents, building chapels, and doing more work than any man of his church in the State. Dr. Pritchard was easily the first man in the Baptist church in North Carolina; the most many sided, the broadest, the widest known; and his death will be deplored by the whole State. He was a patriot; and his voice was always on the side of good government. He was a friend to be esteemed: true in his friendship and warm in his affection. He was a christian; true to the tenets of his denomination, and broad enough in his affections to embrace all who be lieved in Christ and to go out in love toward all mankind. A Red Hot Sixteen to Oneer. It is said a farmer of Walnut Grove had fallen in love with some beauti ful white ducks that a neighbor had because they reminded him so much of the white metal, being as he is a rock-ribbed free silverite. He pur chased a setting of eggs and put them under a hen, and in due eour&e of time they were hatched out. When the old hen came off with the little ducks the ardent silverite discovered that all of them were extremely yel low instead of being white. He looked at them for a little while, with great disappointment depicted on his countenance, saying at last he could not stand anything that looked like goldbugs so he went to work and killed every one of the young ducks. There is no discount on vhich way his vote will be cast in November. Condensed Testimony. Chas. B. Hood, Broker and Manufac ture's Agent, Columbus, Ohio, certifies that Dr. King's New Discovery has no eoual a ough remedy. J D. Brown, Prop., St. James Hotel, Ft Wayne, Ind.. testifies that he was cured of a (Joueh or two years standing, caused by La Grippe, bv Dr. king's New Discovery, li. r. Merrill, Baldwinsville, Mass., says that he has used and recommended it and never knew it to fail and would rather have it than any doctor, because it always cures. Mrf. Hemming, 222 E. 25th St., Chicago, always keeps it at hand and hss no fear of Croup, because it instantly re lieves. Free Trial Bottles at J. G. Hall's Drug 8tore. Thanks. To the citizens of Oxford I desire to express my sincere thanks for their timely assistance in extinguish ing the fire in my store on the night of the 26th inst. Very gratefully, J. P. Stedman.

A very pleasing entertainment was given at the Opera House Wednes day night by Mrs. A. A. Hicks' school. The little folks' performance was very creditable to themselves and their teacher, and gave great pleasure to the host of parents and friends gathered there to hear them. The bovs were manlv in annear- ance, spoke distinctly, being easily heard on all parts of the floor, the little girls sang well and were all very sweet. The only one we shall mention paiticularlv was the small est tot, Miss Alleine Minor, whoat- tracted much attention and the ad miration of every one. lhe efforts of the voune- ladv whn thought she looked "just like grand mama" and the small boy who would be a "soldier" in the first nart wero very well received. We are sorry that Miss Alice Hundley thought she could not respond to the hearty en core following the song, "Two Ma rionettes." In the chorus sung by Misses Jeannette Gregory, (solo) Julia M inor, Fannie Ellis and Lulie Renn the voices were noticeably sweet. Master daeK isootn, a natural orator, brought the apple from the garden of Eden down to date and the house also, which was enthusiastic in its applause. The parasol drill had many pleasing features, being both well planned and executed. This was followed by the closing number which brought the whole force on the stage in the "Red, White and Blue" march. We had nearly omit ted to mention the duet by Miss Al leine Minor and her sister which was given during the intermission, and il 1 f A . 1 was tne musical nit ot tne evening. Mrs. Hicks received many compli ments at the conclusion of the suc cessful program rendered. Beauti ful bouquets of flowers were shower ed in profusion upon the young per formers. There Should be no Change. In our issue of last week we had occasion to refer to the change in the school law relative to the adop tion of school books for use in our public schools and since then we are more convinced than ever that in no instance should there be a change. Until the advent of our last legisla ture our representatives had always, and wisely, seen fit to leave this matter in the hands of the State Botird of Education, who as we re marked before are eminently quali fied to judge of the merits or demer its of a book which is to be put in the hands of children at that tender age when their minds are plastic and the impressions made thereon are to influence them through their whole after life. The law as it now stands takes this out of the hands of the State Board and places it in the hands of the County Commissioners, and for the reasons giyen below we think this will be the most important and far-reaching matter they will have to consider during their term of office. What reason was there for a change in the law? The same books have been iu use for nearly seven years and so far as we can learn have given uniyersal satisfac tion; thev were written by men noted for their learning and who were born and have lived in the South all their liyes and are therefore familiar with the conditions which surround the Southern people, while on the con trary the books advocated for adop tion in the place of these are books written and published by Northern men who are unfamiliar with the condition of the Southern people and who are as partizan and sectional as they are ignorant. The books now in use are sold to our children cheaper than any others as the price lists of the various pub lishers will show. Then why was the law changed? We have given the matter careful consideration and with the evidence before us we say and say without fear of contradic tion that the reason why the present school book law is on our Statute book is the cupidity of a Northern publishing company and the unscru pulousness of some of our legislators. This same concern went into the State of Virginia and tried to defile and malign the character of one of her best citizens and was condemned by the court to pay a fine for a ma licious libel. After that they came to North Carolina and tried the same tactics on our Superintendent of Public Instruction, charging fraud in the making of the school book contract and failing in that they next turned their attention to the fusion legislature where they seemed to haye met with better success as it was at their instance and by the use of their money that the present law was enacted. Again, as we said before, the most potent reason for advocating no change in the books is the expense it would entail upon that class of our people in our connty who are least able to bear it. There are children now in our schools whose parents are denying themselves that they may have an education and if there is a change the burden upon them will be but the greater. Commissioners, ai-e you by your action the 1st of June going to endorse the cupidity and unscrupulonsness of this book concern, the action of the fusion leg islature, and add a burden of thous ands of dollars to the already over taxed people of our county? We be lieve not. CORN FOR SALE. We have a large lot of corn for sale, on time or for cash. maj22-3-t. Davis & Hunt. THE TRAVELLERS. People That Move with the Times--They go Forward, of Course, Dr. E.
