There will be .no issue of this paper next week. Our streets were thronged with shoppers Wednesday. Read notice of land for sale in this issue for the first time. Read advertisement of bar-room and fixtures for sale in another col umn. David W. Satterwhite, of Corn wall, killed a porker that weighed 560 pounds. The tobacco market closed Wed nesday and will open again for busi ness Monday Jan. 4, 1S97. Messrs. Billy Brown and Robt. Dalby are both seekers after clerk ships in the next Legislature. The little son of Mr. and Mrs. John Gooch, who was real sick last week, is now well and happy. Contentment is an endowment that will make Christmas day joyful even though you do not receive a sing'e gift. The clever Robert Wood is in charge of the grocery department of E. H. Crenshaw & Co., and is a capital young man. Mr. B. F. Hobgood and family are now numbered with the citizens of Oxford. They are occupying the residence lately vacated by Mr. Cam Hunt. If you intend to have something to make eggnog out of Christmas, we direct your attention to the adver tisement of Usry and Pool in another column. Messrs. Taylor & Cannady are making improvements right along in their new factory. They have also erected a new outside building and fence. Hon. Jno. R. Webster, editor of the Reidsville Weekly, and Miss Lil lie A. Mcirison, of Reidsville, N. C, were m:.:ried in that town Tuesday evening. The recital given at the Oxford Female Seminary Tuesday evening was a splendid affair. The program was exceedingly well rendered and greatly enjoyed by all who attended. A few nights ago Chief Renn put a man in the lock-up and next morning found him missing. A brace and bit had been left in the room, and he found it and proceeded to use it with good effect. He has not been apprehended. The children of the Methodist Sunday School will enjoy their Christmas tree Thursday night in the church. Those of the Episcopal church will have theirs at the resid ence of Mr. G. T. Patton. We could not learn as to the Baptist and Pres byterian. If some few of our patrons who owe us were to fulfil their oftrepeated promises, the much abused editor, who-has never proved false to his party, town or eountv, would be able to be numbered with the happy throng that will eajoy the glorious Christmas festivities. We are exceedingly gratified to learn that Judge Graham, after his term expires will resume the practice of law in Oxford, which will be good news to his host of admirers. Refore his elevation to the bench he was the leading member of our bar and enjoyed a lucrative practice. On Saturday night Mrs. J. T. Ragan was awakened by stifling smoke that filled her room. She found that a fire was burning brisk ly in the closet. The members of the family joined in and put out the flames without giving the alarm. Nearly all the clothing in the closet was burned up, along with many other things. It is thought that the fire was caused by rats cutting a match. We join the Orphan's Friend in extending to Mr. E. W.Jones Man ager of the Printing Department our kindest sympathy, on account of the death of his brother which occured Tuesday at his home, in Mecklenburg County Va. May God in his loving kindness and tender mercy comfort Mr. Jones in this deep affliction, and enable him to bear it with Christian resignation. He attended the funeral services, and returned home Thursday. The revenue officers under com mand of Mr. J. H. Shelburn, of Dur ham, destroyed a fine 80-gallon still, cap and worm, twelve beer stands of about 100 gallons capacity each, 30 or 40 gallons of low wines, about 3 bushels of mal and other articles Monday morning on Meadows' moun tain. The same day they struck an other somewhere in the neighbor hood of Trinity, and found an old lady keeping up the fires and knit ting for dear life. Of course the still, stands, &c, were destroyed. Takiner testimony in the contes ted election of Mr. A. J.Feild vs. the negro Bill Crews has been going on before Mr. W. H. Hunt this week. Messrs. J. C. Biggs and T. Lanier appear for Mr. Feild and Colonel L. C. Edwards for Crews. Mr. Frank Wimbish, whom tho Democrats had appointed to represent them as a poU holder, testified that he voted the straight Republican ticket. This same man is still clerk to a Demo cratic board of town commissioners, If he had been clerk to a Republican board and voted the Democratic ticket he would have been bounced at once. OXFORD, N. The people haye Christmas in their bones. The chilu who does not believe in Santa Claus is to be pitied. The crop of 189R girls is a pretty one. What do you think about it boys ? J5 Do not be disappointed if you do not get what you want. Save up your money and ouy it yourself. This is the season when the charitably inclined open wide their hearts and remember the orphans. Miss Eva Minor, the accomplish ed music teacher at the Deaf and Dumb Asylum at Raleigh, has join ed the home circle, and will remain during the holidays. The editor warmly thanks all who extended him their support and encouraged him in his battle for good government and the rights of people, and the bui?ding up of our town and county. Hon. W. W. Kitchin's Address. The people of Oxford were fortu nate enough to hear on last Friday evening an address from the Hon. W. W. Kitchin, delivered before the Odd Fellows in their hall. He was introduced by Mr. H. M. Shaw in a few well chosen remarks, and when he arose he was greeted with prolonged applause. (It must have reminded him of some of his experiences just before the last elec tion). He spoke for an hour or more on the subject of Odd Fellowship, and was listened to with the most mark ed attention. At times his remarks were truly beautiful and eloquent. But this was not ail the pleasure in store for those who attended. Both before and after the addres." very beautiful and highly enjoyable vocal music was rendered by Mrs. Sted man, Mrs. Wooding, Misses Lizzie Hilliard and May Hundley. Mrs. H. M. Lanier and Miss Nina Horner furnished the accompaniments in their usual artistic style. After this in the armory just - under the hall oysters, coffee, etc., were served to those in attendance. Over this de partment of the entertainment the following ladies precided in a most admirable manner: Mrs. R. O. Greg ory, Mrs. S. W. Cooper and Mrs. R. Broughton. The whole entertain ment was highly enjoyable and re flects great credit on those in charge. A Pastor Pounded, For some time past the pastor of the Baptist church has been contin uously pounded. Friend after friend has shared with him the good things of this life. It would make my note too long to speak of each gift. We have received turkeys, hams (new and old) sausage, spare-rib, back bone, souse, butter, flour, sugar, cof fee, tea, dried fruit, soap, starch, canned fruits and tomatoes, pota toes, celery, chickens, &c, &c. Oh! and a barrel of apples! One friend gave the boys Roman candles the way to a boy's heart. One friend sent birds several times. He is the best shot in town. Now I come to think of it! he had friends with him. They are all good shots. Another friend sent a cloak and a cap for the finest boy in town, you being allow ed to except your boy. Another friend and his wife sent an elegant suit of clothes happiness never kills I still live. The Ladies' Aid So ciety sent cash, hard cash, soft cash, "free silver" under the "gold stand ard," with "equal privileges" at the stores. But then they sent that to my wife and I have the privilege of viewing it from afar. This is a true story. I know it to be so, for I am the pastor, and to one and all of the kind friends I ex tend my sincere thanks. Pastor. German Tuesday Night. Our young people started the holi day festivities with a German at Ar mory Hall Tuesday night, and the young ladies looked their sweetest and were graceful, while the gallant young men were all attention. It was a most delightful occasion, given in honor of Mrs. Gowan Dusenbery, of Concord, formerly of Oxford, who is greatly esteemed by our young people. The chaperones were Mrs. Cynthia Skinner, Mrs. Henry Hunt, Mrs. A. A. Chapman and Mrs. Payne. The following were the couples on the floor: Miss Fannie Gregory with Leak Landis; Miss Annis Hughes with P. C. Graham; Miss Mary E. Gregory with Harry Williams; Miss Willie Skinner with Prof. Shannon house; Miss Fannie Skinner with Dr. I. H. Dayis; Miss Annie Booth with C. L. Smith; Mrs. Gowan Dusenbery with Henry Strause, of Henderson; Miss Charlotte Britt with Hillman Cannady; Miss Mary Belle Gregory with T. Lanier. Stags H. L. Skin ner, W. E. Massenburg, W. H. Britt. . 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 Roxboro, N. C. Their trousers are faultless in cut workmanship, and A"se in fact in all that goes to make up a satisfactory garment, and are sold at the remarkably low price of $2 G8. They will bear comparison with any five-dollar pants In the market. Sold by Long Bros.

Edwards & Wikston.U C, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1896. TO ARflS BOYS. ReUnion of the Vance Guard The Granville Grays Attended. It is seldom our good fortune to enjoy such royal hospitality as was accorded us on last Monday evening in our sister town, Hendersou. There was a re-union of the Vance Guard, and one of the most enjoy able features of the occasion was a banquet served at the Armory of the Company. This was complete in every appointment. The menu was bountiful and elegant and the ser vice excellent. In the midst of arms and the accourtrements of war sat Peace and Plenty and Joy smil ing in each others embrace. "All went merry as a marriage bell" 'till the happy company sepa rated close to the small hours of the night. The departing guests carried the scene as a picture in their minds with whih to gladden memory; and in their hearts they carried a new fire lighted at the altars of Friend ship and Hospitality. It is just such occasions as this that make life longer and the days brighter. The Granville Grays, thirty-eight strong, in command of Capt. H. L. Skinner and his Lieutenants, J. feO. Ellington and W. H. Britt attended in a body. Among the other guests from Oxford were Capt. Sid W. Mi nor, Capt. C. J. Biggs, Maj. B. S. Royster and "Grandma" (W. L.) Mitchell, Mi. C. H. Easton and the writer of this faint description of the joys of the occasion. The address of welcome was made by Mr. J. H. Bridges .in a happy manner and the response was made by Maj. Royster, of Oxford, in the same vein. Mr. Pryce Jones, the popular Cap tain of the Vance Guard, with his able Lieutenants, J H. Goodrich and Charles J. Smith, were especially at teutive to the wishes of their guests, if indeed those can be said to have any wishes who haye every desire gratified almost before tney are formed. But these by no means had a monopoly of the hospitality, be cause every member of the Company stood ever ready to add to the pleas ure of the evening. There too was that whole-souled gentleman, the Rey. Mr. Hix, and that genial and accomplished gen tleman Mr. Thad. R. Manning, whe though he writes on the "Leaf of Gold," does it with a gifted Silver pen. These added no little to the pleasure and success of the evening. But it will not do to begin to indi vidualize, because all of the many good people of Henderson, whom it was our pleasure to meet there, en tered fully into the spirit of the oc casion, and helped to make the hours seem but sparks of light fly ing from the" wheels of time. At a late hour the Oxford party returned on a special train; and "Long live the Vance Guard," was the wish deep down in every heart. Cannot be Found. A man who can run a county paper, be true to the exacting demands ot his party without hope of reward; be boycotted by small calibred peo ple because he dares to be true to his party and dares to maintain its prin ciples in the face of the fact that his own party leaders will not even pay him for legitimate work done; sub mit to be ridiculed and criticised by them ; the heavy responsibity of hav ing a hide as thick as a government mule to stand the many sledge ham mer blows aimed at his miserable carcass; be a potent factor in giving all the free advertising that can be squeezed out of him to advance others interests and at the same time live on wind; have to contend with a class who think we publish a paper free for their especial benefit as they read it regular every week, must have in his make up a quality that is not equalled by any human being ever heard of or will ever trod this terrestial globe. We know we have faults and of ten make mistakes as all men do, but are always ready and willing to perform any duty that may be re quired of us to advance party, town and county, and no man can say we ever shirked any responsibility, and all we ask is just and fair treatment. The manufacturing plant of the Brown Tobacco Company at Wins ton, N. C, was burned at 3 o'clock on December 9. Loss $15o,ooo; in- An II 1 11 Pi surance, ?o,ooo. Desiues me iacc- ory and machinery, 35o,ooo pounds of manufactured tobacco and 15o, 000 pounds of leaf were consumed. The origin of the fire is unknown.

Some Qnestlons Propounded to Local Democrats. At the close of this year of vary ing fortunes or shall we say, mis fortunes 1 it occurs to us to fire a few pertinent queries at our county Democracy. There are some things that we are desirous or knowing, and that probably can be satisfactorily explained. We shall be obliged to anyone who will turn on the light. as we need light in the days of abuse and criticism of the organ of the party in Granville. Why is it that the Public Ledger, which is a Democratic paper straight and true, and did everything in its power for the success of the party during the last campaigns, is denied the support it might reasonably ex pect from Democratic leaders, and patronage it should receive is given to papers inimical to the Democrat ic party ? Why is it that, while the Public Ledger's Democracy is unquestioned and its party service admitted, Dem ocratic leaders join the political enemy in adversely criticising this paper. Why is it that, in addition to our gratitious work for the party. Go ing practically unappreciated, pay is even withheld from us for election tickets printed by order of the Exe cutive Committee more than two years ago f As but few people eyer think of the editor during the fes tive event, it would be a pleasant gift to receive the amount due. Why is it that a man that is pro fessedly a Republican, haying stat ed that he voted the Republican ticket last month, is retained by a Democratic board of town commis sioners as town clerk ? The foregoing are some little mat ters in which we are especially in terested. There are others. We do not mind bearing our share of the burdens, but we look for reasonable recognition, and we object most strenuously to being imposed upon ourselves or any imposition upon the party. We are very sorry to say measles has entered our town again. Mr. R. R. Moore is spending a few days with his aunt, Mrs. Melissa Denny. Mr. John Waller and Miss Corina Bowling, who is teaching school at Knap of Reeds, spent last 2nd Sun day with Miss Cora Malone. Miss Lucy Stem, of Stem, who has Deen visiting miss uora JVialone, re turned home a few days ago. Some of the young men are looking very sad since her departure. Rev. J. A. Stradley spent last sec ond Saturday night with Mr. R. J. Day. We believe Mr. Stradley is truly a good man and the Bethany people are always glad to have him with them. Miss Cora Malone closed her school at Moriah Academy last Wednesday. Quite crowd attended the closing ex ercises. The students acted their re spective parts well, showing that thby had been well trained. After the recitations W. A. Malone, Esq., and Mr. Johnson, of Hampton, made very excellent talks which were en joyed by all present. Christmas will soon be here, ans other year will have passed away, and we will be one year "Nearer Home." We have much to be thank ful for, and yet I am afraid many of us have much to regret. J-iet us think for a moment. What have we been doing this year ? Have wo kept the resolutions we made in the beginning of the year? Have we done all we might have done to send sunshine into poor suffering souls ? Have we performed our duty in every respect ? If not let us resolve to do better next year, and keep the reso lutions. Let us endavor to so live that when our work is finished here, and we are ushered into Eternity the Master will say: "Well done, good and faithful servant." Clare.

W.; W. B. Bal lou, J. W.; W. L. Mitchell, Treas urer; E. W. Jones, Secretary. These officers will be installed on the 28th. John Bigelow, in a recently pub lished book entitled the Mystery of Sleep, resents the popular notion that the sole object of "tired Na ture's sweet restorer" is the repair the waste tissues of the body. In his view it has a far higher function in furthering the spiritual develop ment; and in general he contends that it is upon the duration and quality of the sleep thai: the spiritual well-being depends. Carried out to its logical conclusion the theory must proclaim that he who sleeps through the sermon is the recipient of more gracie than he who tried to follow its elucidation.
