Miss Leona Newton is spending

Mr. Jesse Reid and sister, Miss

Miss Annie Bradley arrived Mon
day and will commence her school at

stay in Vance county.
Mr. Cram, of the firm of Allen &
Cram, Raleigh, arrived in Kittrell
Monday with men to overhall the
steam heating arrangements at the
Davis Hotel which will be completed
in a few days.
Mrs. Martha A. Newton, of Pungo,
spent last week in Kittrell with hei
sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards, who
was quite sick from bleeding at the
nose, since which time she has great
ly improved.
Mrs. De Forest and Mr. Robert
Bunce have returned to Kittrell
and the Davis Hotel is once more
open for business. They are expect
ing quite a good crowd -from the
North this winter.
The cotton fields are blooming out
again and some of them have a good
crop of blooms on them now. I sup
pose this is a gold bug crop. Well,
it will take two gold bug crops to
bring as much inoney as one free sil
ver crop would bring.
A prominent politician while
speaking not long since said under
this gold standard law all our money
would be gold, and as there is noth
ing less than five dollars coined I
would like to know how will we ar
range to pay for the Public Ledger?
Will the good editor have to credit
us for five years or will we haye to
pay for five years in advance?
After David Garrett and Zack Gill
had thoroughly canvassed the coun
ty and found that Mr. Garrett would
lack some votes to elect him Mr.
David Gill then offered Sheriff Smith
$250 and the post office in Kittrell 4
years to come down in favor of Zack
Garrett. Mr. Smith, declared him
self no candidate for post master and
refused to come down. He was elect
ed Sheriff by 423 majority over Pow
ell and Garrett. Garrett had boast
ed of his election and had said only
a few days prior to the election that
he would be elected by 10,000 ma
jority, but he only found 61G of that
ten thousand on election day.
The protracted meeting at the M.
E, church in Kittrell closed last
Thursday night after a six weeks'
session of revival with good results.
Twenty-seven souls were happily
converted and the church generally
revived. Fifteen added themselves
to the church here. This closes the
revival services on Tar River circuit
for this conference year. Rev. Ken
neth Holmes the pastor in charge
has faithfully labored for weeks in
succession with the reward of G9
souls being happily converted to
Christ and added to the church on
Tar River circuit. This speaks well
for Brother Holmes' first year's labor
here. He lost his summer's season
of reviyals by sickness and missed
several appointments at each church,
during which time his field got some
what weedy, but when he started he
put on the big wing and run four
furrows to the row and never left a
clod unturned.
There was quite a stir among the
people here Monday before the elec
tion after Hanna's money reached
North Carolina to destroy the elec
tion. Everybody was preaching
watch your tickets and free silver.
There was quite a little canvassing
and lecturing with everybody inter
ested, and as the day closed, and
eyerybody weary of well-doing Mr.
Plummer Rowland and several other
negroes went to a colored school
house near Kittrell to lecture and
rest during the night, taking with
them a great big jug and a basket
and they all did with one accord eat,
drink and be merry, and when the
late hours of the night were at hand
they all hung themselves across the
benches to dry out and rest for the
duties of the coming day. The fire
dies out and when they awake in the
morning with shivering limbs and
chattering teeth their tongues had
forever lost its silyery ring and they
could only plead Russellism and
goldbugism. There can't be any ac
count given for such a sudden
change un'ess the jug was stopped
with a Mark Hanna stopper.
The election has passed off and we
now have gold standard and negro
ism. Well, that may suit some but
we fought against it to the last and
are yet ashamed of it and must say
that the good Lord must have been
in sympathy with us for He hid all
of Heaven that was visible to human
eye for three days and nights with a
thick cloud and occasionally shed
showers of tears over the foolishness
and ignorance of white people. The
negro has always been too modest to
kiss a white man first, but now he
has the opportunity afforded him to
return the kisses and embraces of
the so-called white man who has
done all he could to make a negro
be a negio so he could be one too.
I haye often heard of a so-called
white man that could swallow a ne
gro for the sake of office but I never
saw it before the past election, and
I think when he finally vomits him
up you wont be able to tell which is
the white man or which is the negro.
I'm sure the negro wont turn against
him half as quick as Jonah did the
whale's stomach. It looks as though
some might even retain him until
after the next election. Big Sis.
C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1896.
TAYLOR & CANNADY.
This New Firm Will Manufacture on
a Large Scale.
N. Hillman Cannady, of Wilton,
Granville county, a young gentle
man of enterprise, business tact and
public spirit has associated himself
with Mr. B. F. Taylor, a practical
buggy maker whose work is always
first-class, in opening a factory for
the manufacture of wagons, buggies,
carriages, &c, in Oxford.
It is with great pleasure that we
make this announcement to our
readers for Mr. Cannady has the
means and the qualities for man
aging his department of the business
which will consist in looking after
the financial department, selling
buggies, &c, while Mr. Taylor who
is one of the best artisan? in his line
of work will see to it that every arti
cle turned out of the factory will be
of a character to add to fche reputa
tion of the new firm in their line.
A mechanic of so much skill and
industry and honest work as Mr.
Taylor exhibits only needed the cap
ital to make for him a reputation
that will extend far and wide. In
his good fortune of getting in co
partnership with such a gentleman
as Mr. Cannady we may look for big
success in the factory that will be
run with ample capital and on a bus
iness basis by the new firm of Taylor
& Cannady. Mr. Cannady is still
quite young though since the death
of his lamented father, J. F. Canna
dy, Esq., he has had on his hands
important business matters and has
shown that he had the capacity to
meet those responsibilities with a
discriminating judgment, that has
won for him already a fine reputa
tion. Although strictly business he
is polite and pleasant in his manners
and has in him the elements of sue
cess. We are glad he has located in
Oxford where his ancestors on both
his father's and mother's side have
had fritnds and admirers many
scores of years.
This factory will keep many a dol
lar in Oxford and Granyille that
otherwise would go out of the State.
Their enterprise ought to be patron
ized by our county people. As they
will do as well if not better for their
customers than they can do else
where and will do such good work
which has always stood the test that
no man in the county ought to buy a
buggy, wagon or other vehicle until
they see what Taylor & Cannady can
do for them in that line. They will
work a number of hands and this is
a good thing for both town and coun
ty. They have rented the large and
commodious brick factory opposite
the Osborn House which is well
adapted to their purposes for both
manufacturing and storing buggies.
The wheels of industry will soon buzz
there when their new machinery is
put in order. They will be well pre
pared to sell buggies, carriages and
all kinds of vehicles at wholesale and
retail and will enlarge their business
as necessity requires. They are able
to compete with any competitor in
their line in the State. We earnest
ly recommend and endorse the new
firm.
The Housekeepers Friend.
It has been given up by all that
Mr. J. S. Brown, the live grocer on
the corner of Hillsboro and College
streets, Oxford, is leally the house
keepers' friend, as he makes it his
special business to supply their every
want in the grocery line. Orders by
telephone meet with .prompt atten
tion at lowest possible prices. His
stock is complete in every depart
ment and is prepared to fill all orders
with dispatch as Messrs. Ward and
Minor, his polite and attentive clerks,
are ever ready and willing to serve
you.
Remember if you need anything
for Thanksgiving Brown's is just the
place to buy all the good thing you
need to supply your table with. If
our farmer friends need flour, ship
stuff, brand, sugar, coffee, side meat
and hay Mr. Brown will sll them to
you at bottom prices. Read his ad
vertisement and give him a call.
Greatest Cut Sale on Record.
The live firm of E. H. Crenshaw &
Co., Main street, Oxford, has deter
mined to make a change in their
business January 1, 1897, and have
made the greatest cut sale on record
of their immense stock of goods, con
sisting of dry goods, clothing, shoes,
notions, hats, furnishing goods, &e.
Now is the time to secure great bar
gains and our advice to you is to
head for Crenshaw & Co.'s where
you can get a pile of goods for a lit
tie money. Just read their big ad
vfcrtisement in this issue of the Pub
lic Ledger as they tell you what
they intend to do. It is to your in
terest to call and see them, and when
you do tell them that you read their
big advertisement in the Public
Ledger, the paper of the people.
Mr. Bryan on the 5th sent the
following telegram to Major Mc
Kinley: "Senator Jones has just in
formed me that the returns iudicate
your election, and I hasten to extend
my congratulations. We have sub
mitted the issue to the American
people and their will is law." Major
McKinley answered in a kind and
courteous manner.

TOBACCO HIGHER-1N OXFORD.
riarket Opened up Tuesday with large
Break of Tobacco.
As the election is oyer our tobacco
men are getting down to business
again and the farmers took posses
sion of the warehouses Tuesday, fill
ing them up with tobacco. It was
a day of hustle and bustle with buy
ers, drays and laborers. The bid
ding was spirited from start to finish,
and all colory grades ruled higher,
espescially wrappers, some of which
sold as high as $46 per hundred.
The first sale took place at Old
Meadows which is being so well con
ducted by Z. W. Lyon & Co., who
are making a reputation for hand
ling sales in a fair and business like
manner. This firm is noted for their
integrity and fair dealing and close
attention to the interest of their pat
rons. Mr. W. H. Blalock, who looks
after the books understands and dis
charges his duties in a highly credi
table m-nner. He like the proprie
tors has the confidence of all who
know him, and by his fidelity to his
duties gives the best satisfaction to
his employers.
The next sae -took place at the
Banner Warehouse, Bullock & Mitch
ell, owners. Mr. John Bullock, the
senior member of this firm has been
engaged in the warehouse business
for a good long time, and there is
not to be found anywhere a better
posted and capable warehouseman.
Our friend W. L. Mitchell became his
partner several years ago and added
largely to the popularty of the Ban
ner, and is known as a worthy and
successful farmer. Mr. Willie Z.
Mitchell is one of the hard and sub-
stial workers of this liye fi-m. They
naye as their book-keeper Mr. W. B.
Gulick, Jr., who is a model gentle
men and accountant. He is special
ly intelligent and a special favorite
for his many excellent qualities of
head and heart.
i riA npyt saIa was at -tVia Tfo y m
' ' ' wo tvn bU1l J. U&UVXO
Warehouse, under the control of
Hunt & Williams. Graham Hunt
showed appitude from his first en
trance into the business of conduct
ing a warehouse successfully. Mr
R. S. Williams is also well equipped
and Iiard to beat in hustling for to
bacco among the farmers, with
whom he is quite popular. This firm
is A No. 1 in every respect. No
warehouse in the State surpasses
that of Hunt & Williams, and their
patrons will all endorse this compli
ment.
Their book-keeper, Capt. Hugh
Skinner, ranks as a book-keeper of
the highest order who knows and
does his duty faithfully and intelli
gently. The next sale was at the Minor,
Cooper & Wilkinson, proprietors. It
is a patent fact that Sol Cooper is
one of the most popular warehouse
men in the trade. He has wide in
fluence and his partner, Will Wil
kinson, is an obliging, painstaking
warehouseman who watches like a
hawk to take care of the interest of
all who sell at the Minor. This firm
will always sell large quantities of
tobacco, and get highest market
prices. Capt. Sidney Minor is book
keeper and a chip of the old block,
the late Capt. R. V. Minor, and we
could not pay him a higher compli
ment to nis competency and intelli
gence.
Oxford by location has great ad
vantages as a tobacco market. When
the other markets fell back indiffer
ent parts the Oxford market held up
its head and the music of the auc
tioneer was kept going with vim and
energy. Of course we have no ref
erence to the two weeks prior to the
election.
The Oxford market is keeDing to
the front where she belongs, and
there is no need for any farmer in
the county to sell elsewhere than
with our clever warehousemen. We
have got warehousemen that can
command all the money they need.
They are honest, obliging and libe
ral, and are backed up by a live corp
of buyers who hold laige orders.
Dojnot think that there is a better
all round leaf market any where than
Oxford, and we uige our farmers to
sell their crops on this market, and
help build up their county town.
Work of the Baptist.
The report of the Baptist Mission
Board which met in Raleigh this
week shows progress along every
line. The denomination east of the
Blue Ridge have had this year 98
missionaries at work and say $15,000
expended in their work. On these
mission fields alone there baye been
this year 1,600 additions to mission
churches, 116 mission churches are

ings have been built by Baptists du
ring the year. This report will-be
made to the State convention which
