Several persons professed religion, and many wanderrs brought back into the fold. On Monday the last Democratic official walked out of the CourtHouse and gave way to an old line Repub lican instead of a new fl dged one under the guise of a middle of the road Populist. The record of Mr. C. "F Crews as a most efficient, compe tent and polite official is before the people, and nothing we can say will anM tn it. He has served the people faithfully, and retires to private life followed bv the best wishes of the law abiding citizens of Granville.

That kind of talk does not have any effect on the Democrats, but they are sure Mr. Sikes would not hesitate to appoint negro commissioners. Ephriam in His Glory and Can Bake His Shins. THE POPULISTS RESPONSIBLE. As we stepped into the courthouse after Dr. L. C. Taylor had given his bond and assumed charge of the Register of Deeds office, we heard one of the colored brethren exclaim: "Got 'em at last and de demicrats do die so hard, and hate so bad to give up de court house to we nig gers, ha! ha!" The Board of Commissioners ap pointed Chairman J. A. Bullock and Mr. F. B. Wimbish (who now seems to be hand and glove with the Re publicans) a committee to turn the office over to Dr. Taylor. As soon as this was done according to prom ise the doctor appointed Mr. Robt. L. Sikes, a white Republican, his as sistant and he entered at onee upon his duties, and will again make Ox ford his home. We believe that Dr. Taylor will serve the people to the best of his ability, being iaithful in the discharge of his duties. As soon as the new. Register of Deeds took possession of his office the colored brethren took possession of the room as they have been doing the Superior Court Clerk's room for two years, and it was with difficulty that one could get in to attend to business at this particular time. Every chair was occupied around the fire place by them. Indeed it was a glorious day for Chief Mogul Bill Royster and his followers, and they certainly will be strictly in it this winter as all the offices in the court house are now, as they verily believe, their personal property. They can sit around in the chairs in front of the fires, taking no notice of white people who come in to at tend to business, bake their shins and nod to their heart's content. Well, we do not blame them as they are entitled to something after they have furnished the big luscious pies for their white leaders to munch at their expense. Shades of 1868, comfort and console the white peo ple if you can! Days of 1868 Return to the People of Granville. As the negroes said after the elec tion: "We own the court house now" and were put in. possession by a goodly number of Populists, but tbey forgot to say thatthey were put there by a few white demagogues who eat lusciously the pie. As all the offices in the building are run by white Republicans they naturally open wide their great big hearts and allow dear, sweet, loving Ephriam to bake his shins and nod in front of the blazing fifes paid for almost exclusively by the white tax payers of the county, who when they come to town to transact business will find it impossible to get to the fires in the offices in the court house. Well, white men and good Popu lists of the county, Epnriam is strict ly in it, and all white men who aided in putting him on the top round will get a full heaving dose of the delic ious odor that the Rev. Wm. Roys ter is ever ready to dispense to them whenever they darken the corridor of the court hous'e. From the pres ent outlook this immaculate states man will be the "cock of the walk" with a plume in his hat and will be gen eral manager under the gallant Col. Sikes in command of the colored bri gade. Oh Populists, Populists, how often did the Democrats beg you to help defeat this negro rule, and led by your pie counter seekers ye would not? We trust you will learn by black experience what our advice and warning could not teach you and by the end of the next two years be ready to cry aloud: "Hold, Eph riam, we have enough!" THE TIDE OF TRAVEL. ODD FELLOWS' ENTERTAINMENT. La is ir. and as to the second Hon. W. W. Kitchin Will Deliver an Address. There is really a good time in store for the people of Oxford Friday when the Odd Fellows, aided by many ot our lair ladies, win give an enter tainment in Odd Fellows Hall for the benefit of this grand and noble benevolent order. Hon. W. W. Kitchin will be pres ent and deliver an address. A choice musical program, under the direc tion of Mrs. John P. Stedman, will be one of the pleasant features of Rev. J. B. Hurley Goes to Wilson. Our people exceedingly regret to lose this amiable and popular minis ter as pastor of the Methodist church and were greatly surprised to learn that he had been sent to Wilson, which is a promotion as the appoint ment carries with it a larger salary. He will be succeeded by Rev. M. H. Tuttle. We feel sure the people of Wilson will like liev, J. J.

Of pleasant manners and fine intellect, he adds to those a pi ous life and a faithful performance of duty. He is one of the rising min isters of the Conference, and in Ox ford where he has ministered for 3 years as pastor of this station he was greatly appreciated as a good pastor and a valuable member of society. Nature endowed him with a large measure of common sense which en ables him to manage his charge with efficiency and without friction a People Coming or Going in All Di- rections--A Record.

M. Sikes was heard before Chief Justice Faircloth in Raleigh last Thursday under writ of habeas corpus. He was represented by Major B-. S. Royster and Col. L. C. Edwards, of Oxford, and Col. Bachelor, of Raleigh. The petition ers, good Democrats, were represent ed by Messrs. Thornton Lanier and J. Crawford Biggs, two as gallant young attorneys as ever appeared for the rights of the people. The Chief Justice dismissed the case and Mi. Sikes through his attorneys ap plied to Judge Graham on Monday for an appeal to the Supreme Court which was promptly granted by his honor and he was allowed to give bond in the sum of $-400. The case will not be heard in the Supreme Court till March. The Populist-Republican Commissioners, persisting in their refusal to recognize the two Democrats appointed by Judge Gra ham, an action for a mandamus to compel them to do so was regularly in stituted by Messrs. Lanier and Biggs and granted by Judge Graham, and they were restrained by injunction from accepting official bonds or pay ing out money until the 2Sth o'- Do cember, when t'je mandamus - -d in junction will be heard before Judge Graham.
