Usry to state that he did not sign or authorize any one else to sign his name to any gold-bug circular. The Texas primaries went almost solid for free silver, and endorsed the present State government. The silyer wave continues to roll on. The Chatham county Democrats declare for free silver, one conven tion, Col. J. S. Carr for Governor and Capt. S. A. Ashe for Treasurer. We are authorized to state that Major John W. Graham did not sign nor authorize his signature to the gold bug circular that is bing distributed throughout Granyille and other counties. The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. T.

Junius M Horner, one of the strongest preachers in the Episcopal church in the State, delivered the sermon before the graduating class at St. Mary's School, Raleigh. The sermon was of rare beauty ariTl ex cellence, and highly complimented. Badger Nevills and Johnnie Weaver, two boys of Brassfields, took it upon themselves to leave home and have not been heard from. They are respectfully 13 and 15 years old. Their fathers, Messrs. Lonie Nevills and Frank Weaver would be glad to receive any infor mation concerning them. Mr. J. C. Phelps, the agent for the Singer Sewing Machine in Ox ford, has just returned from Wash ington City where he filed an appli cation with ihe Patent Office for a patent on an economical process for curing tobacco. It will save wood and do away with setting up at night to watch the heat so he claims. Brother McKesson, the polished and talented editor of the Morganton Herald, gets out a splendid publica tion, and we love to read it because it represents a magnificent section and as warm-hearted and hospitable people as ever the sun shone on. But brother, we are getting two copies each week and one will fill the bill. Edward P. Carr, the oldest son of Dr. A. G. Carr of Durham, who graduated at the University last week was awarded the Worth prize for the best thesis on philosophy. His younger brother, John R.

Graham authori zes us say that he will not be a can didate for the nomination of Judge in this district. We are glad to say that the do nothing Congress has at last ad joumed.

Graham, Chmn. Come right along and buy a buggy as Edwards & Winston hsve just received.25 new buggies of dif ferent makes, and can suit your taste. In fact Tom Winston says, more buggies, better buggies and cheaper buggies. Read their adver tisement. A little boy was on his krees, in his little night dress, saying his prayers, and his little sister couldn't resist the temptation to tickle the soles of his feet. He stood it as long as he could and then said: "Please God, excuse me while I knock the stuffing out of Nellie." Concord Standard- Ex-Solicitor E. S. Parker, of Graham, who has many warm friends in this district is a candidate for the nomination of Judge in place of his honor Judge A. W. Graham, who has declined to seek the nomination. Capt. Parker is a pure christian gen tleman, well equipped for the bench and if nominated and elected would be a credit to the Superior Court bench of North Carolina. Of course everybody these hard time are anxious to secure great bar gains and we ask our readers to read the advertisement of Landis & Eas ton in another column, and tell them that you want some of the bargains offered through the Public Ledger. This is a clever firm and it is always a pleasure to them to sell goods at the lowest prices, so be certain to take advantage of the bargains they are now offering. This week's Caucasian says the Populists have no idea of co operating with Democrats of North Carolina. Listen to the editor. "We believe we speak the living truth when we say "that before the Popu lists would consent to such a course they would go horse, foot, dragoon, rank and file bodily into the Repub lican party, and do what they could to insure a Republican victory in the State of North Carolina." A great run for bargains at New York cost is being made on Paris Bros., and we advise you to get into the swim and you will be sure to save money. Remember they are located in the new store, next to the Bank, and you should go eariy be fore the stock is picked over. It is useless for us to praise their elegant stock of goods, for eyerybody knows that John and Jim Paris handle only first-class lines. Read their big ad" vertisement. Rivet your eyes 37e who wish to save a few dollars upon the two big fist in this issue of the paper, and read the great price winners at K H. Crenshaw & Co. The bottom in prices has about gone glimmering through space and you if want a big lot of goods for a small amount of silver Crenshaw and Geo. Pittard aye just the men you are looking for. Don't put it off, but go at once and tell them that bargains you must have as advertised in the Public Ledger. ' . Democratic Congressional Convene tion. Congressional Democratic con vention of this district is called to meet in Greensboro, June 24th at -2 o'clock, p. m., and we waut'to see C. B. Green; Esq., of Durham, nomi nated for congress. He would make a fine canvass as he is'a forcible spea er, strong free silverite, and has neyer been found wanting when whenever the party needed his ser vices. He has never wavered in his devotion to his party, and every time a son of Granville was put up for an office Mr. Green always sup ported him warmly. Now that our cornty has the opportunity to return the favor let us accord to him hearty support. N. C, FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 1896. Sad Death of a Popular Lady in Ox ford Sunday Morning. Mrs. Annie Smith Starke is dead, and Oxford mourns; all hearts grieve for the sweet young mother taken away in all the pride of youthful beauty. She was the eldest child of Richard T. and Mollie T. Smith, and was born Nov. 11, 1872, and was married to Luther W. Starke Sept. 5, 1890, and died June 7, 189G, scarce 23 years old, and her life work is done. v- One" short week ago Mrs. Starke was the embodiment of all that is beautiful in life, the loving wife of a devoted husband and crowned with all the sweet graces of motherhood. Today she is still and cold, deaf to the anguished cry of devoted hus band, sweet prattle oh innocent babes and heartbroken mourns of stricken parents. The oldest of nine children she was the stay and com fort as well as the joy and pride of her devoted parents. To the mother she was not only loving and devoted daughter, but sweet friend and com panion; helper and guide to the younger brothers and sisters who loved her with such ardent affection. If earthly love could have kept her, then would we not mourn as we, do today for agonized hearts watched her couch of pain- with love's devo tion and her physicians, merged, into tender friends, watched through the long hours of night and day that no slightest chance of arresting the dread disease might be lost. All that the most skillful care and ten der love could do was done to keep the beautiful life with us, but the fiat had gone forth and the gentle spirit winged its way to the God who gave it and blessed it w:th so many of heaven's graces, and mid tears and sobs sorrowing friends laid the beautiful body in its flower lined grave there to await the, resurrection morn. To our earthly eyes this sweet young life seemed full of brightest promise. The gentle hands so full of loving service for devpted husband and helpless babes, united with the beautiful and sacred (heritage of "first born" in her father's home, it seemed she might not, could not be spared. And yet the stricken hus band sits desolate with motherless babes and the girlhood's home has lost its brightest treasure. Truly "God's ways are not as our ways, nor his thoughts as our thoughts," and midst the sorrow atd desolation comes the sweet messa, s.Vjjet not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." "And we feel and know that we can go Where'er lie leads the way." The funeral services were held from the Presbyterian church Mon day evening at o o'clock Rey. A. Shorter Caldwell officiating. The church was filled by a large crowd of sorrowing friends and relatives, come to pay this last tribute of love and-affection to one so highly es teemed by all. The music, led by Mrs. Stedman, was touchingly beau tiful. The procession was one of the largest ever seen in Oxford. As the sun was setting all that was mortal of this beautiful young woman was laid tc rest in Elmwood cemetery. As the grave was being filled "Jesus Lover of My Soul" and other heart touching hymns were exquisitely rendered by a choir composed of Mrs. Stedman, Mrs. Hunt, Mrs. Cooper and others. The pall bearers were: Dr. J. G. Hunt, Dr. E. T. White, W. T. Clem ent. Wm. Landis, Judge A. W. Gra ham, J. P. Stedman, J. G. Hall, Ed Osborn, W. A. Bobbitt, J. F. Ed wards, Hugh Skinner, W. J. Long. To the Democracy of the Fifth Con gressional District. Two years ago I was selected as your standard bearer in this district. I feel that my want of success was due to no fault of my own, nor to a lack of hearty support on your part, nor to the ability or political sagacity of my opponent, but to a combination of circumstances that overwhelmed many of the-best a! d ablest leaders in our party. Any other representative of that combi nation, however ignorant and un worthy he might have been, would have been elected by as large or a larger majority. 1 have been solicited to again al low my name to be used, and as Democratic success is almost as sured the temptation is very great, but matters of a personal and busi ness nature" induce me to decline to again enter the contest. I appreciate the honor you con ferred upon me, and sincerely thank those friends who desire to again honor me in that way. I will al ways be found ready to do an thing that is honorable to advance the in terest of that party upon which I believe the salvation of our good old State depends. A. W. Graham. Notice ! School Teachers and Others. Notice is hereby given that all public schools in the county for the school year ending June 30th, 1890 must be closed on or before Friday, the 2Gth inst., and all parties having claims against the School fund to meet me in Oxford on Saturday, 27th inst., with properly accredited vouchers or they will be barred from collecting the same.

The County Convention 'of the Populist party was held in the court house in Oxford on Wednesday. It was composed of many of our good citizens and was the most orderly convention we ever attended, not a hitch of any kind occurring. There was not even a speech made nor a harsh word of any kinduttered by a single delegate. Mr. Glaude Allen was made chair man and Messrs. J. W. Brown and R. A. Gill secretaries. Owing to the fact that some of them present failed to hand in their list of delegates we are unable to give them in full, and hence we leave them all out. The first business before the convention was the election of delegates to the State, Congressional, Judicial and Senatorial Conventions. The same delegates chosen for the Congression al will also attend the Judicial' Con vention. The delegates elected are as follows: STATE J. B. Elliott, G. L. Allen, J. A. Waller, D. G. Farabow, J. F. Cole, J. B. V. Tunstall, J. S. Pool, H. C. Qill, A. J. Dalby, J. W. Brown, A. H. Gregory, J. S. Qooch, J. R. Wil son, R. T. Pittard, W. S. Cozart, S. W. Knott, M. L. Winston. congressional and judicial. J. R. Buchanan, J. I. Champion, J. A. Waller, S. P. Washington, S. R. Howard, M. S. Daniel, A. H. Gregory, W. N. Critcher, J. W. Brown, S. P. Brummitt, W. P. Lyon, C. J. Roberts, E. L. Jones, J. P Breedlove, A. Baker, R. T. Chan dler, J. R. Wilson. SENATORIAL. A. A. Clay, W. J. Rogers, J. M. Farabow, H. T. Moore, J. T. Murry, R. A. Gill, John King, H. C. Gill, R. W. Dalby, D. C. Chappell, J. T. Cozart, T. J. Brummitt, T. E. Bob bitt, W. H. Jones, J. B. V. Tunstall, J. W. Harris, b. b. Bragg. Nominations for county officers were next in order, and our present Sherift, W. S, Cozart, and Mr. J. F. Cole were piaced in nomination and Mi. Cozart was nominated on first ballot. Mr. A. S. Peace was unanimously nominated tor lreasurers Fdr Register of Deeds Messrs. J. W. Brown, J. W. Wilson and Prof A. Baker were placed in nomination. The vote resulted in Mr. Wilson's nomination. Mr. J. W. Brown was nominated for coroner and resnectfully de clined; asking that his name be with drawn. Mr. J. B. V. Tunstall was then nominated by acclamation. The next important nominations which mostly interest the people were those of County Commissioners and resulted in the election of Messrs. J. A. Bullock, W. H. Lyon and D. C. Farabow. For the Legislature the vote re sulted in Messrs. John King, of Oak Hill, and J. R. Buchanan being the choice of the convention. Mr. J. W. Brown was voted for but failed to get the coyeted prize. Mr. J. R. Buchanan, was elected chairman of the County Executive Committee and the Central Commit tee is composed of . Messrs. A. S. Peace and J. W. Brown. The following resolution was in troduced by Capt. Peace and adopt ed: Resolved, That the Central Execu tive Committee by and under the ad vice of the Executive Committee of the county shall have" control of the campaign and the candidey of our candidates and to act in things nec essary to be done as the county con vention would do if in regular ses sion. Mr. Glaude Allen-called Mr. John King to the ehair and introduced the following resolution which was adopted and made some pertinent remarks thereon, urging the dele gates to the State Convention to have it incorporated in the State platform: Whereas, The People's party ad vocates a, government by the people and for the people and not by the office holders and for the benefit of the office holders; and whereas, there has been a great reduction in the price of everything produced by labor which greatly reduces the earn ings of the laborer, thereby nearly doubling the burden of the tax pay ers; and whereas, such reduction has taken place since the establishment of the salaries and fees of the public offices in North Carolina, therefore be it Resolved, . That we, the People's party in Granville county, are in favor of a just and equitable reduc tion of all salaries and fees in pro portion to the reduction in the prod ucts of labor. Be it farther Resolved, That the delegates from this convention to the State conven tion be instructed to use every means in their power to have the sentiment expressed in thfs ro'ution incor porated in the People's party State platform. A Deserved Appointment. It is a source of great pleasure to the people of Oxford that the West ern Union" and Southern Express au thorities respectively recognized the ability of our highly esteemed young townsman, Mr. Frank Spencer, and appointed him their agent for our town. He was strongly endorsed by our business men and other citizens for the poskion, and we in their name thank the companies for the appointment, and can say it is most worthily bestowed, Mr. Spencer is polite, accommodating and attends strictly to business, and we feel sure that in the course of a few years he will attain to higher rank in either one of the companies.
