The gloomiest days often have the most glorious sunset. - Danville market sold 2,000,000 pounds of tobacco in 7 days. With carpets down the home in its winter guise is most alluring. The new county officers take the oath of office on the first Monday in December. It is safe to say that not a wos man in the world will admit that she hasn't good taste. Mr. J. S. Brown has had the roofs of his prize house and brick factory repainted. Its strange to see white men brag about negroes being elected to office over their own race. A goodly number of our people attended the Fife meeting at Hens derson the past week. The improvements are progress ing rapidly on the Usry residence and out side buildings. Judge W. A. Hoke is holding Person court this week in place of Judge Mclver who is sick. It is said the Republicans have not got enough Populists pledged as yet to elect Pritchard Senator. It is stated that Heilman, the Populist leader in the last House, has a cinch on the Speakership. Dr. H. C. Herndon is having the stables rebuilt on his Cherry Hill place that was blown down some time ago. Note the change in the large ad vertisement of Crenshaw & Co., as it is money in your pocket if you trade with them. Mr. C. G. Mangum, of Hester, sold one barn of tobacco at the Meadows Warehouse Friday at $21 per hundred round. "Give us this day our daily bread!" That is a prayer that only God can answer; but there are many men who help to do so. Dr. S. H. Cannady continues to improye his place, as he has had the new fence aiound the lot adjoining that of his residence painted. Ficklessness of taste is striking ly illustrated in the campaign but ton. A few weeks since was a preva lent hobby, and already it's worn off. Next year it's expected the bi cycle will prevail more than ever. At this rate it won't be long before the man who walks will be on his last legs. Mr. A. A Overton has been commissioned postmaster at Clay, and will make an efficient one. Mary E. Ridout has also been appointed postmistress at Woodworth. If you wish to enjoy a regular foot ball game go out to Horner Park this Thursday afternoon, and you will catch on to a touch down and a goal, which are the rub with the boys. The members of th3 First Color ed Baptist church who have bought the old White Baptist church build ing expect to have it moved some time during December on their lot in South Oxford. If you want to buy a good horse Bob Day is the man to sell him to you, as he has just received a car load of nice horses. These animals are sold under a guarantee and if not satisfactory money refunded. Union Thanksgiving services will be held at Methodist church today, (Thursday) at 11 o'clock a. m., Rev.

Good men and true men may differ about politics, religion and all matters of opinion; but no man should differ now as to the necessity of a general effort to revive business, employ labor and establish a demand for production. Sun. We wonder if it is not in order now for the Democrats to lay aside small amounts to assist many of the colored Republicans, who fought so gallantly against them at the polls on the 3rd inst., to pull through the cold bleak days of winter? The editor apologies to Mr. I.H. Wilson, constable elect for Salem township, for attempting to change his color and classing him a Repub lican if he did run on the fusion ticket. We were misinformed, and find that he is a son of our old friend John R. Wilson, and a good Popu list. We point with great pride to the new designs we have received in fall and winter suits for boys and men, This season the manufacturers were especially anxious to make sales and they put better values on the market than ever before. We bought them up and now is your chance to get a great deal for a little money. B. F. Kronheimer. James Hunt, colored, of Salem Township, did not seem to like it be cause Walter Crews, a colored broth er in politics, saw fit to exercise his riht to vote for Mr. Charley Crews foJ Register of Deeds, so he conclu ded to make it warm for him. He met him last Thursday and proceed ed to carve him up in a serious man ner. At last accounts Walter was doing well under the circumstances. OXFORD, N. Our Warehouses had good breaks on Tuesday. Mark Hanua wants to take John Sherman's place as Senator from Ohio. Mrs. J. R. Day has presented her husband with twins a girl and a boy. Our pastors complain of the small attendance at . the weekly prayer meetings. We regret to learn of the con tinued sickness of Mr. Willie Biggs, and hope to see him out soon. To our way of thinking it seems that many of our white people pre fer negro rule to white supremacy. Mr. G. W. Wooding has been confined to his home again for several days on account of sickness. A sanctification preacher enter tain a crowd in front of the Court House yesterday afternoon for about an hour. Mr. Christie, the capital farmer at the Orphan Asylum, has placed on our table a turnip that tipped the scales at 7 pounds.

Let Dr. de Lacroix put the Gran ville Manufacturing Co. in motion, and introduce our people to his boasted Mr.Prosperty as we need him especially under negro rule, as we will naturally have more taxes to pay. Mr. J. T. Cozart has had the old wooden bridges removed from in front of his stores on Hillsboro street and put down terra cotta piping. This was a much needed improve ment that Mr. J. A.

A better adver tising medium cannot be found than the Public Ledger as it goes direct to the homes of our people and is a welcome visitor. Get in its columns now for the holliday trade. Mr. Wm. Fuller, who lives just over the line in Vance, was in Ox ford Wednesday, and informed us that gold mining interest was de veloping rapidly and a large number of people are around prospecting. We hope it will turn out to be a big thing. We call your attention to the change in advertisement of Mr. J.G. Hall, Druggist, in this issue as it may be money in your pocket to read what he says. He wi'l again be headquarters for Santa Claus and will sell Christmas goods at lowest possible prices. Cast your eye on the space of Joe Webb, the low price furniture dealer, in another part of this paper, and you will learn something that will greatly interest you if you need anything in his line. A big cut is made in price of furniture, and now is your time to buy. The new furnaces are being put in the basement of the Baptist church, and it is hoped the intelli gent pastor and congregation will be able to worship in the beautiful edi fice on Sunday, at which time Rev. J. S. Hardaway intends to commence a series of meeting. Rev. J. S. Hardaway, the be loved pastor of the Baptist Church, occupied the pulpit of the Methodist Church Sunday morning, and gaye the large cdngregation the benefit of the best sermon it has been our good fortune to hear him deliver. It was full of good food for thought, pointed and admirably delivered. Mr. J. L. Garrett who is one of our young hustling business men on College street, says every day is his cheap day on groceries, tobacco, ci gars, fruits, nuts, confectioneries, etc., and it would be to your interest to call and take advantage of his low prices. Read his advertisement in this issue of the Public Ledger. Well, old Dutchville did not do as we said last week, elect a Repub lican constable, as there is not a sin gle curl of Republicanism about the make up of Mr. T. B. Curl. Neither did we ever hear of a Beck being anything but a Democrat, and hence Mr. J. M. Beck is true blue, and Mr. S. A. Fleming is badly tainted the same. They will make good magis strates. We make our politest bow to all three of these gentlemen and wish them happiness and prosperity. An interesting example of the success ful solution of the puzzling problem how to give honest goods at low prices is found in the advertisement of Noell Bros., of Itoxboro, N. C. Their trousers are faultless in cut, workmanship, and Aise in fact in all that goes to make up a satisfactory garment, - and are sold at the remarkably low price of $2 68. They will bear comparison with any five-dollar paata In the market Sold by Long Bros. C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1896. JUDGE AFTER J. M. S1KES. Refused to Hake Affidavit and Hauled up Before Judge Graham. In pursuance of chapter 135 of the laws of 1895, sect. 5, which provides the way in which two extra county commissioners may be appointed, the Democrats who desired to be represented on the board on last Thursday applied to Mr. J. M. Sikes, Clerk of our Court, with the neces sary papers, properly drawn and signed, to make the affidavit requir ed by law so that the papers might be certified to the Judge and the two commissioners appointed. Mr. Sikes possibly laboring under the impres sion that he was both clerk and judge refused "for what reason we cannot understand to allow the affidavits to be made, unless it was he wanted the Republicans to have full control of county affairs, and as one of the smart "Alex's" expressed, "We in tend to have it." Messrs. T. Lanier and J. Crawford Biggs, attorneys for the Democrats, then applied to Judge Graham, who was in town, for a rule on Mr. Sikes to show cause why he should not perform his duty. The matter was before Judge Graham at Chambers Saturday, Mr. Sikes being represen ted by Col. L. C. Edwards and Major B. S. Royster. After argument on both sides his honor sustained the council for the Democrats, and or dered Mr. Sikes to accept the affida vits. We are now informed that Mr. Sikes still refuses to certify the pa- ! pers to Judge Graham as required by law so that he may appoint the two commissioners, and that an at tachment for contempt will be ap plied for. We predict that this will bring the gentleman to his senses, and that he will cease, by violating his duty, to thwart the will of the people. He should not kick so vio lently against a law made by his own party to allow whatever paity that is out representation. Explanation Why Dr. de Lacroix feels Such a Deep Interest in Mr. Field. In last week's Democrat Dr. Louis de Lacroix in a card advises Mr. A. J. Feild not to contest the seat of Billie Crews, col., one of the great leaders of the Reps in Granville, in the next Geneial Assembly. We have no doubt that Mr. Feild appreciates the kind, friendly and disinterested advice of Dr. de Lacroix, and no doubt feels grateful to him for the vote and support that he failed to give him on the 3rd of November. Having shown such a keen inter est in Mr. Feild's political future we feel warranted in saying that Dr. de Lacroix's failure to vote for Mr. Feild for Representative was an over sight otherwise he would not have presumed to advise Mr. Feild in this matter. It has been suggested that as Dr. de Lacroix and Billie Crews, colored, hold the same views upon the finan cial question that possibly Dr. de Lacroix's vote, or rather failure to vote the Legislative ticket, in the last election was not an unintention al oversight. We have seen fit to offer a more charitable explanation of Dr. de Lacroix's action. The Fife fleeting in Henderson. Henderson is being stirred as never before. All the leading men close their places of business during the hours of service. Warehousemen stop the sales and go to the meeting. Men and women hold prayer meet ings separately. Many family altars are being erected. The leading preachers and all the best people are in sympathy and to the front. Bur well Hall does not accommodate the vast crowds. People go long before the hour of service in order to get a seat. Great crowds from the coun try at eyery service. As many as fifty profess Christ at a single ser vice and large numbers ask for prayer. Prejudice and opposition is melting away and it is believed that Henderson will be taken for the Lord. Mr. Fife has an assistant evangelist, the Rey. Mr. Levett, who is conduct ing a meeting for the colored people. An Eye Witness. The Bazaar, The ladies of St. Stephen's church will hold their annual Bazaar on De cember 2nd and 3rd in one of the stores in the Johnson warehouse, and we trust the attendance will be large and a liberal patronage extended to them. They will have a sale of fancy work of various designs, dolls, ex press packages, &c. Supper will be served each eyen ing and the menu will consist of oys ters, (cooked by Greeley Harris, the expert) salad, ice cream, cake and coffee. Reduced Rates. North Carolina A. M. E.

In spite of adverse legislation and the withdrawal of a large part of the State appropriation, the young men of Oxford and immediate vicinity have been patriotic enough to keep up the organization of our military company. We have always been proud of the company and given it our most cor dial support, and just now we take an especial interest in its welfare. It is composed of young men of high standing, who fully appreciate the oongations resting upon them, and who will promptly respond to every call of duty. We are gratified to note that the company is in fine con dition and we congratulate the offi cers upon the splendid appearance it makes on drill. Our people ought to stand by the Granville Grays. It has rendered valuable service only a few years ago, and has always been an important factor in maintaining good order in this community. We appeal to eyery property owner and good citizen of the town and county to see to it that these young men are supported and encouraged in this labor of patriotism. The regular monthly parade and inspection of the company was held last Monday afternoon, Capt. Skinner command ing, and the soldierly bearing and splendid deportment of the men, re flect great credit upon Capt. Skin ner and his two Lieutenants, J. O. Ellington and W. H. Britt. The pa rade was a complete success and the company 30 strong drilled like Reg ulars. Three cheers for the Gran ville Grays! Long may it live. Hampton Hummings.

We heard Joe Fiddlesticks say he greatly admired the Public Ledger and that he would take it if it cost as much again. Mrs. Joseph Tilley, of Nelson, Durham county, who has been on an extended visit to her sister, Mrs. W. S. Cozart, has returned home. A negro by the name of Joseph Haskins entered the dwelling of Elder J. C. Hudgins and took from his desk $SG5 in gold. He has since run away. Married, Sunday, November 15th, at the home of the bride's father, Wm. Cothron, Mr. Pender Mangum, of near Flat River, Durham county, to Miss Ella Cothron, of near Mt. Tirzah. Col. Tipton says he has no apolo gies to make as to the stand he took in the last election. Well, we don't look for or expect any from any of the Hannacrats as they are no more nor less than the blackest Republi can that infests our land, and after they have wrought tota1 ruin to this beloved America may their consci ence then smite them. Old Sleuth. T. L. Howell & Brother. This old reliable and well known firm is composed of Messrs. J. E. and Willie Howell, who have been doing business in our town for a good many years and recog nized as one of our most substantial firms.

They keep a general stock of dry goods, shoes, hats, etc., and make a specialty of groceries, all which they sell at the lowest possible prices. We can truthfully say that no firm will try harder to supply your wants than this splendid firm at bottom figures. We take pleasure in calling your attention to their large advertise ment on the second page of this paper, if you have not read it, and when you need anything in their line be sure to call and see them next door to Edwards & Winston's and buy them, as the Messrs.
