Our paper was held back this week to get latest election returns. Mr. Calvin Breedlove, of Dexter, accidentally cut a deep gash in his right hand Monday. A new conductor has arrived at the home of Capt. R. H. Powell of the O. & H. Railroad. We tender our warm thanks to Mr. A. Barnett, of Fishing Creek, for a lot of fine sweet potatoes. It looks natural to see Dr. G. A. Coggeshall riding around among us again. He seems perfectly at home. Mr. Jesse Pitchford has bought the house and lot of Mr. R. C. Jones in East Oxford a-nd is now occupying it. Nine Democratic congressmf n are elected in Virginia. Epes defeats Thorp, Republican, in the 4th dis trict. Mr. R. S. Usry has commenced improving the Blackley lot which he recently bought, and is now occu P3Ting. The uniforms of the Horner ca dets have been changed in style of make up, but the same colored cloth is used. What's the matter ? Why he and" the trusts and combines are strictly in with a mortgage on Mc Kinley. Why cannot some steps be taken uow by the people of Oxford for the establishment of an electric light plant in Oxford? Quite a number of ladies and gentlemen attended the dime socia ble at the residence of Dr. S. D. Booth Friday night. Mr. Durell Brummitt has be come a resident of Scuffleton as he has rented the house just vacated by Mr. W. J. Pitchford. What about the Granville Man ufacturing Co. now? Will it start up soon or is it numbered with the things that is not to be in Oxford? As the election is over we hope our coirespondents will let us hear from them regularly. We wonder where Cindy Jenkins is these days? Mr. A. T. Worsham has moved to the old John Jones residence on Gilliam street, and Mr. W. H. Smith is now occupying the McGuire resi dence. Bryan carried Granville by 100 majority, showing that if all the free silver men had stood together the Republicans would haye been de feated. Mr. John G. Morgan, one of the good citizens of the Townesvi'le sec tion of Vance county, passed into the great beyond on the 19th of Oc tober. The ladies of the Baptist church will give a Silver Tea at the resi dence of Mr. S. W. Parker Friday evening. All are cordially invited to attend. Mr. John P. Hargrove, of Fair port, laid on our table two boss tur nips of the season. One of them weighed 4 lbs. lOozs., and the other 3 lbs, 10 ozs. -We learn from the Gold Leaf thai Mrs. Annie Thomas, mother of Messrs. John and Phil Thomas, died at her home near Williamsboro on the 14th of October. We earnestly seek the patronage of our business men and others in the Job Printing line, as our office is well equipped. We guarantee satisfaction to our customers. Those who congregated at the Armory Tuesday and Wednesday night had to grope their way thro' the darkness as the street lamps did not throw out a single ray of light. Mr. Charley Thomas, who has been with Messrs. Edwards & Win ston for some time, has left them and returned to Winston and accept ed a position with his former house. Mr. K. Stark, the blight young son of Mr. James Stark, of Townes ville, died on Friday last, and his remains were interred in the old fam ily grave yard near Kimball's mill Saturday. Plutarch says very finely, that a man should not allow himself to even hate his enemies; because if you indulge this passion on some occasions it will raise of itself in others. The sweet little cherubs of Mr. and Mrs. Willie Clement and Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Rawlins were rolling in their carriages on Monday after noon, and we must say were perfect pictures of loveliness. Let eyerybody get down to busi ness and commence to battle the best we can for our prosperity and happines, leaving behind whatever bitterness may haye been engender ed during the campaign just closed. Rev. J. B. Hurley on Sunday morning treated his congregation to a fine sermon which was compliment ed on all sides. The music was also good, and the offertory by Mr. T. C. Williams, Jr., of Durham, was splen didly rendered. As the election is over and you will begin to look around for the best places to seek bargains in the way of goods, etc., foi the winter we call your attention to our adver tisers and ask you to remember that they are seekers after your trade through the columns of your county paper. OXFORD, N. Mr. Thornton Lanier was on Monday elected county attorney in plac3 of the late lamented Mr. N. B. Cannady deceased. The result of the trial of the Moore brothers at Louisburg for murder was: James Moore convicted of murder in the second degree and sentenced to tho penitentiary for 15 years, while William Moore was ac quitted. Mr, H. A. Crenshaw, a promi nent business man of Louisburg and brother of Mrs. Mollie Johnson, of Oxford, died on Thursday of typhoid fever. He was 4S years old and leaves a wife, daughter, mother and sister to mourn his demise. When it was announced that the Republicans had carried the county Wednesday one of the colored breth ren said: "Dar now, we own de coutt house and will take possession of it," which they have certainly done for it has been chock full for several days. On Sunday afternoon the horse of Mr. Ed Green, of Dexter, ran away with him, throwing him out of the buggy and bruising him up very badly about the face and head. We are pleased to learn he is not serious ly injured and will be able to be out in a few days. The barn and stables of Mr. Rufus Fuller, who lives near Gris som, were burned Tuesday night. All his corn and rough food, along with a horse and colt were consumed. It is thought to haye been the work of an incendiary. This is a serious loss these hard times. The telephone system has been extended out to Scuilleton and Reav isville. Mayors Bryan and Jones say they do not intend to- be out done by Oxford. It is now thought that Mayor Thos. G. Taylor, of Ridleytown, will call his Board of Commissioners together and make an appropriation to induce the Tele phone Co. to extend the line to that burg. The warmest sympathies of the editor go out to our esteemed friend, Mr. Thos. S. Ashe, of the Wilming ton Messenger staff, in the great af fliction which has recently visited his happy home. His idolized son, 1G years of age, was accidentally killed while duck hunting one day last week. May the God of love be his comforter in the trying hour of his great grief. People who have no faith in their town or people, seldom rise to the top wave when the tide comes in. They become slothful in business and a stumbling block to others who might push on if they were not in the way. The right way to put communities fcrward is to push on exert your best energies. There may be obstacles, but surmount them. Keep pushing. Mr. Charles H. Cheatham, of near Oxford, and Miss Hettie Osborn, of Lawrenceville, Va., were happily married at the residence of Dr. A. F. Osborn in that town on Wednesday, Oct. 2Sth. Their many friends in Granville and in Brunswick county, Va., wish them much happiness in the journey of life. Mr. and Mrs. Cheatham attended the Methodist church in Oxford Sunday. Col. W. A. Bobbitt had the pleas ure of whipping "Decoy Duck" Dal by Monday, but the doctor fought well. The cause of the trouble was on account of some remark Dr.Dalby made about Col. Bobbitt. Owing to the fact of parties interferring saved the doctor from severe chastisement at the hands of Col. Bobbitt who only used his fist wnile Dr. Dalby used a stick with little eftect. Death of Ernest Egerton. The death of this most worthy, ex cellent and popular young nan which occurred at the home of his father, Joseph J. Egerton, Esq., near War- renton on Monday Nor. 1, has crea ted much sadness in this community. He lived in Oxford for several years .i i- f. T cr 1 1 171- aS rne cier& or o. o. crown, Jiisq., and won the confidence and regard of all who knew him. Faithful, honorable and intellgent he hand a bright future before him. He evidently had the qualities of success, but aias disease wasting disease seized upon his hitherto naturally good constitution and soon j i c: j it.i u: it was seen uy ms meuus mitt ms yitality was gradually wasting away. Nothing that the best medical skill and the nursing of kind hands was left undone that was calculated to soothe his sufferings. It is very sad to think of the death of one so young and so promising. God deals in a mysterious way with the people of earth, but we have the blessed assu rance that all things work together for good to them that love Him. He was 22 years of age, and leaves many relatives and friends to mourn his early demise. Many of the for mer live in Oxford, he being a grand son of the late A. Landis, Sr., and a nephew of the late Capt. A. Landis. He was a consistent member of the Methodist church, and his friends have the consolation of believing that he has gone to a better and far brighter world. We tender to his family our war mest sympathies in this the hour of their sad affliction. Bneklen's Arnica Salvo.

THE OLD FIFTH DISTRICT 'STRUTTING TOMMIE" DEFEATED Hon. William W. Kitchin Knocks the "Stuffin" out of the Kin dergarten Peacock and Decoy Duck Dalby. Tommie Settle Weeps Over His Woes ! Dalby Quietly Thinks About the Cold, Hard Cash he has Lost by Settle's Defeat. There seems no doubt that W. W. Kitchin, Esq., defeats Representa tive Settle in the Fifth district. The official vote is not yet at hand, but the majorities, official and estimat ed, are as follows; For For Kitchin. Settle. Person 351 Durham 487 Orange 404 Alamance 101 Granville 30 Caswell 318 Rockingham 412 Stokes 500 Guilford 50 Total 1,704 1,015 The Stokes majority is estimated. This talented representative of the Democratic party, who has triumph ed over Settle in this district in spite ofthe big odds against him deserves the thanks of the Democracy ot the State. Notwithstanding Mr. Settle is several years older than Kitchin and had long experience in political debate the gallant Kitchin met him boldly on the stump ana gallantly inflicted on him political blows that Settle will remember to his dying days. Kitchin showed from the first joint debate in Oxford that he was ready both to inflict and repel the intellectual blows of his antagonist. Settle could not but feel that Kitchin was able, impressive and eloquent as a speaker. The demo crats at the close of the debate were jubilant over the triumph of Kitchin and the negroes who had been so proud of Settle could not get up their usual enthusiasm after seeing what a splendid debater Kitchin proved himself to be in meeting Set tle and exposing his political record. We do not hesitate to say that Hon. W. W. Kitchin is one of the most talented young men in the State. Handsome, candid, of pleas ant voice and with a face that in1 spires confidence in him at first sight, IT'S REDEEMED an able lawyer and an eloquent ora tor he has a bright future before him. He is well known to the De mocracy of Granville and has won their highest appreciation. He is void of the tricks of the demagogue, open and candid in debate, appeal ing to the reason of his auditors and not to their prejudices. Mark what we say he has a bright future before him. He will command the respect and confidence of friends and foes alike in Congress and while he will be one of the youngest members of the House he will be the peer in worth and ability of his colleagues in the National Legislature. We in common with the Democracy of the district rejoice over the election of the gallant Kitchin. ELECTION IN GRANVILLE. Everything Passed off Quiet Around the Polls. We aro glad to say everything passed off quietly on election day, even after the scores of speeches be ing made to inflame the minds of the negroes. The whole Republican ticket is elected with the exception of Mr. John W. King, Populist can didate for the Legislature, who was endorsed by the Democrats Mr. King defeats Hugh Tilley, colored, and W. H. Crews, colored received two votes more than Tilley, and Granville will be represented in the Legislature by one Republican and one Populist. The election of Mr. King proves to the Populists that the Democrats were sincere in their offer for fusion, which was re jected by the Populist County Exe cutive Committee. The vote shows to every white man in the county that Mr. J. R. Buchanan was truly the cause of the defeat of Mr. A. J. Feild, a strong free silver man for the Legislature by W. H. Crews, colored, and upon the leaders of the Populist party rests the responsi bility. In Oxford township the election is claimed by those posted on the law to be void as the Republicans voted for six magistrates when they should not have had but five on their ticket. Counsel appeared before the judges of both precincts and argued tho law on the question pro and con, the Democrats protesting against pro ceeding with the court, but as the Rep-Pops had a majority they voted to proceed with the Count. It is now understood that the matter will have to be decided by the courts. In case the courts hold that the election was illegal nearly all the Democrats will be elected. It is said that the Rep Pops had $2,500 campaign fund, with which to feel the boys pulse with, and the hard stuff made many tumble to the racket. It seems that the shrewd, sharp and great J. M. Sikes, was the great lever that worked the machinery of both Republican and Populist or ganizations in the county, and no doubt did his work well as we real ize its fruits, even if Mr. J. R. Bu chanan is slaughtered in the house of his friends. The personnel of the county ticket elected is composed of men well known to the people. W. S. Cozart, sheriff, who is re-elected, is a highly respectable citizen, a good farmer who is popular with his neighbors. It is due to truth to say that al though he is a populist he makesan efficient sheriff who attends faithful ly to the duties of his office. A. S. Peace is re elected treasurer and although his course politically has been very objectionable to us as he well knows, still he has made an acceptable treasurer in the discharge of the duties that have devolved upon him. Dr. L. C. Taylor, who has been elected Register of Deeds is a Re publican of the old school, true to his party on all occasions, who has always shown his colors in broad daylight, and his politics we con sider all wrong, yet we have no per sonal unkindness towards him, and if we must have a Republican as Register, Dr. Taylor, so far as we are concerned, we would as soon see himhave the office as any Republi can we know. J. A. Bullock, W. H. Lyon and D. C. Ferrabow were elected County Commissioners. Mr. J. A. Bullock is a broad guaged Republican of much intelligence and naturally fair minded, who will do what he thinks is right and for the interest of our county, Mr. W. H. Lyon is a popular and excellent gentleman and though untried we haye no rea son to believe he will not make a good commissioner. As to Mr. D. C. Ferrabow, he is aa intense parti san in feeling, but we hope after he is inducted into office that he will leave his political feelings behind him and represent the county with out permitting anything but a sense of duty to influence his conduct as Commissioner. Mr. Jerome Tunstall captures the coronership. He has had large ex perience as constable and deputy sheriff and will no doubt maKe a vigilant officer in his new position. Notice. My lands have been legally posted. 1 am informed by my tenants that it is dis regarded ; that people hunt with euns ani dogs, f hoot around their houses and teams, ride and drive ever their crops, and when they protest against It they are told they haye permission from me.

SHOT GUN'S WORK. A Colored Han Accidently Killed. It's d Sad Affair. A sad accident occurred Saturday afternaon at the home of Mr. A. G. Clement, near Culbreth, in which a colored man lost his life. The parti culars of the sad affair as near as we can them are as follows: Mr. Ernest Clement had been out hunting near the house and when he walked up in the yard found a young negro man, who had worked for his father several years and had gone to Virginia to work there. They had always seemed to think a good deal of each other, and when Mr. Clement reached him their greeting was of a most pleasant nature. At this time Mr. Clement had his gun in his hand, and the colored man took hold of the barrell, and it went off, the load en tering his bowels, and died in a short time. Just before Mr. Clement came to the house he flushed some birds and cocked his gun but did not get a shot, and must haye forget to let tho hammer down and on reaching the yard where the warm greeting took: place between him and his colored friend the hammer must haye by some means been thrown with re sult stated above. Medical aid was summoned as quick as possible and everything was done for the unfortunate man that could be, but to no purpose and he died in about 2 ours after the acci dent. Indeed it was purely an accident, and we deeply sympathize with Mr. Clement, who is taking it exceeding ly hard. Your Itoy Wont J-ivo it Itlouili. So Mr, Oilman Brown, of 34 Mill St., South Gardner, Mass., was told by the doc tors. His son had luiii; trouble following typhoid malaria, and he spent three hun dred and seventy-five dollars with doctors, who finally gave him up, saying: "Your boy wont live a month." He tried Dr. King's New Discovery and a few bottles restored him to health and enabled him to go to work a perfectly well man. lis says he owes his present good health to use of Dr. King's New Disovei y J know .1 i the best 111 the world for lung trouble. Trial bottles free at J. G. Hall's drug store. flajor Guthrie Vindicated. The News and Observer of Thurs day says: Every county in the Fifth district, except those that are rock ribbed in their Republican faith, re pudiated the action of the Populist State chairman in working to turn the State over to Russellism. The Populists and Democrats in those counties stood shoulder to shoulder fighting for bi-metallism, for good government and against trafficing in offices for personal elevation. Two years ago every county in the dis trict was anti-Democratic, and most of them were Republican. This year Republicanism has been defeated. Tom Settle has been shown that tho people will not tolerato a goldbug in Congress, and the district will bo regresented by patriotic Democrats and Populists. It is the only district in the State where those advocatii,g silver nut it above office and spoils. and it is the only district where the people put their seal of condemna tion signally upon the abandonment of principle by the men m charge of the Populist party. Mai. Guthrie has been vindicated at his home. Have your job work done at the Public Ledger office Episcopal Mission-The Public are Invited. The Rev. John Lloyd, rector of Grace Church.
