Mr Editor: I am informed that the negroes have held a caucus and appointed Wesley Mayfield and oth ers as a committee to select a janitoi for the court house and it is said that the County Commissioners will be given orders to appoint as janitor the one selected by Mayfield's com mitter. Probably in his recent acts in the matter of appointing two additional County Commissioners Clerk of the Court Sikes was acting under orders from the caucus and he preferred to obey the orders of his beloved Eph riam than the wishes of the people. Wonder if the caucus gave orders that Bill Royster should be kept as jailor and Sheriff Cozart dare not disobey orders although .Bill may De very obnoxious to the people, l. Since writing the above news nas reached me that Mavfield's commit" tee has selected Larkin Cousins for anitor of the court house and given orders that no one else need apply or the place. T. Died, near Berea, Alex, son of Mr C. L. Wood, on Wednesday, the 9th. We deeply sympathize with the be reaved family, relatives and friends. Behold what havoc the scythe or time makes upon the human race. How swiftly the sands run and how rapidly our lives are drawing to a close. How our tanks are continu ally being thinned by the relentless hand of death. Mow olten we are called upon to assemble among the habitations of the dead to behold the narrow house appointed for all liv ing, and now with deep sorrow and peculiar feelings ot sadness. we have no do lbt that he is basking in the sunlr'gh of his Sayior's smiles, and mav uis parents be able to say the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh .i -1 1 j I n i.U n away; Diessea De me namw oj. iuc Lord. Why do we mourn departing friends Or shake at death's alarms, 'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends To call them to His arms. Are not we tending upward, too, As fast as time can move, Nor would we wish the hours more slow To keep us from our love. When blooming youth is snatched away By death's relentless hand Our hearts the mournful tribute pays Which pity must demand. A Friend. JftgrWliife agings. We have had some little snow and hail and very cold rains this winter. Mrs. Nancy Dixon at this writing is right sick but hope she will recov er soon. Our friend Goobers, of the Trinity section, dropped in to see us a few days ago with a smiling tace. We suppose the best one was along witn him. Come again, Goobers. You have a fine horse and buggy and can carry them all o. k. Some of the old widowers in this section say they will bring some f their lovers around Xmas and treat them to what they want, though we think it is a hopeless ease or rather doubtful one. Of course we can give them sweet and sour things most anything except moonsnine. Brandy peaches will take its place. Call and see P. M. Xmas. He has most anything you want and will treat you all right. Come one and all. We think it is time for us to let the public hear from our little town once more this year. We all know that the year is about ended and Christmas is peeping in our doors, though it is with pain and sorrow to us when we look back and think of so many of our missing friends that were with us last Christmas. Do we miss them? Yes we do. Death is a curious thing, but little do we think about its coming., It comes when. we are not thinking. The farmers are not doing much on their farms. Getting wood, going to mill, killing pigs and fixing for Xmas is the go in this section. We hear of a good many people who have killed hogs but as yet we have not been able to get the weights of many. Graves Washington, colored, killed two right fat pigs. One of them pulled the beam to 218 and the other to 340. Lee Adcock, colored, killed some fine pigs. One of them weiehed 260 pounds. P. M. expects to kill six after Christmas, two of which will make 500 pounds of meat P. M. Condensed Testimony. Charles B. Hood.

Darie and sister, Sarah, of Center Grove; visited Miss this place last Sunday and Monday. There seems to be great attraction here for Mr. Darie. Correspondents, this is the last month of the year, let each one of us ask ourselves i5 we are better than we were this time last year, and if we are going to still improve with the coming New Year. We should during the Christmas holidays guard against all evils, and go no w.here we cannot take God with us. Let us get our hearts right if they are not we may make many promises and resolutions, but will do no good. Let us then make no promises as to how we will begin the New Year, nor say what we will do, but wait until this year has passed and be proud to say what we have done. It is not the "will-do's" that make bet ter people, but those who wait to say they "have done." Let us make no boast of doing, Promises are vain and weak; But always good and truth persuing, Actions and not words shall speak. pollock f) reezes. Hurry up girls most gone, make ! Leap year is al good use of your time. Mr. George W. Royster a short has re stay in turned home after Oxford. Mr. Henry C. Nelson, of Danville, Va., visited his mother Mrs. Nelson, last week. Mrs. B.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hester, of Adoniram, visited Mrs. J, A. Roy5 ster, of Bullock, Saturday and Sun day. Messrs. John Sneed and Joe Nor wood, of Williamsboro, yisited this section last Sunday in the interest of their hearts. We are glad to know that Mr. Jno Nelson is well enough to travel about again, and hope he will continue to gain health and strength. As Christmas is near at hand I guess tne children are preparing themselves for banta Claus and will get too full for utterance Christmas morning. He will come to see all children. Rey.

Mr. William Ray's school closed at Sandy Plain last Friday. Miss Fannie Beck, of Durham, is visiting relatives m this section. As Hilm Jay is at nome now we will expect to hear from her often. Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Cottrell, spent last Sunday with relatives in Creed- moor. A little negro child near Creed- moor caught a fire one day last week anu was burned to death. Hurrah! correspondents lets make the Public "Ledger better in 189 than it has ever been before. Prof. W. R. Cullum, preached an excellent sermon at Creedmoor last Sunday night to a large congrega tion. Wonder what has become of Trixie we havn't seen his name in the Pub lic Ledger for some time, surely he must be taking up all his time (Byrd) hunting. We were sorry to hear that old Santa UJaus could not get around this Christmas, but we hope his old est son will get down this far before he breaks down. Some of the boys in this neighbor hood concluded that they wanted to talk lasses to their girls, so they took some molasses and some girls and went to Mr. Joe Peed's and had their stew, all who were present seemed to enjoy it. The time is drawing near when most people who ever drink at al will take a dram. Boy's why not turn you back upon it and say I will never drink any more and then keep your word. Now girls if you would not allow boys to come in your pre sence under the influence of whiskey they would not do so. Magnolia. extracts, full strength, and Mr. Ed Wheeler, of Virginia, vis ited his parents, llr. and Mrs. J. Y. Wheeler, last week. I would like to get acquainted with Country Lad. Let us hear from you again through the Public Ledger. Mr. Simpson Walters left here last week for the cotton mills at Raleigh where he will make his future home. We fully endorse Laekland's arti cle on Mormons, and they should not meet with any encourgement from our people. Mr. John Cozart, of Berea, will move his family to this section this week. We welcome them to our community. Rev. Mr. Martin preached at Tally Ho Sunday for the last time in 1S9G, but he will continue to serve the church in 1897. One day last week Messrs. W. H. Thomasson, S. P. Washington and J. B. Thomasson went out hunting and Mr. W. H. Thomasson killed a wild turkey. It is a source of regret to us that we have to lose dear old Leopold, who has gone to live with his son in Arkansas. Our best wishes follow him to his new home. Tad Pole. Indigestive -poisons are the bane of the dyspeptic's life. When sick, see if your lckness is caused by indigestive poisons i so, take Shaker Digestive Cordial. This is the only certain way of being permanent cured, because it is the only way that gets rid of the poisons. You know that fer mented tood ?s poisonous.

It cures indigestion and the diseases that come of it. Headache, dizziness, nausea, stomach-ache, weak ness, flatulence, constipation, loss of appe tite, irritability, &c. These are a few of the symptoms, cansed by indigestive poisons, cured by Shaker Digestive Cordial. At druggists, price 10 cents to JJi.oo per bottle. s. Dr. D. C. White, of Oxford, spent ast week with his son-in-law, Mr. R. W. Harris. The doctor is alwavs a welcome yisitor to our section. Mr. L. H. Moss has had his fine residence recovered with steel roof ing. W. P. Lyon, agent for the roofing, did the work. It makes a nice, durable, cheap covering for houses. Old Uncle'Ceasar Moss is dead, was buried Sunday the 14th of Dec. He was eighty two years old. If all the colored and many of the whites were as honest and quiet there would be no use for jails nor prisons. Our neighborhood was startled last Friday night by a very loud report like a young cannon. Many thought it a meteoric explosion, but upon in quiry discovered it to be a baby waker, fired by Mr. Edgar Crews in honor of his first boy. The store and postofflce of Mr. J. W. Harris at Wilton was burglarized on last inursday night. Only a rew goods were taken, but the postoffice was considerably ransacked all the letters were opened and scattered over the floor. The iron safe was tried, but proved too much for the rogues. Money seemed to be the ob jeet. Christmas is here again, and the young folks are having a jolly time with the nice things Santa Claus brought thm. Seeing their bright, glad looks, hearing their many voices, recalls our young days. Oh! that Christmas would last ail the year, and tnat the littlo tolks and the old folks would be as happy at all times, Little Norman Harris, son of W. N. Harris, E?q., had a -serious acci dent while going to Oxford last Fri day. He fell from the wagon and 1 1 T 1 n t tne wneeis run over one or nis arms breaking it. It happened near Mr Sam Knott's. Norman was carried on to Oxford and Dr. Cannady called in who set his arm; Hope he may rapidly recover. Well, as this is hog killing time and others are giying heavy weights will say our section has a few. Mr A. Morris killed two that balanced the pea at 423 and 464 pounds and the grape vine phone brings word that W. Tj. McGhee had one that weighed 900 lbs. Qaanity of polk has been made all through the country, so nearly all have enough bread and meat but not much money. The papers are lauding Mr. Wash ington Duke for his princely gift to Trinity College. The question is: Did Mr. Duke give tnat amount or the poor tobacco raisers ? Would it not be mucn better tor the country it the tarmers were paid remunera tive prices for their produce, as they then could send their boys and girls to the colleges 1 If they were there would be no need of college endow ments they would "be self-support ing, nor would you hear so much against State aid to the University, for all the colleges would be full and overflowing. Merry, merry wedding bells have runs: out here lately. Wilton has lost three of its charming young la dies by marriage. Mr. Bartholomew ot Nash has carried on a prize in Miss Gertie Lane. They were mar ried at Grove Hill church the 16th Rev. W. S. Davis officiating. Also on the same day be tied the knott that binds Mr. White, of Franklin countv. and Miss Meta Bxackley tor life. And now one of ' Oxford's wid owers, Mr. David Overby, has taken Miss Anaie Freeman to his home in town. Cards are out announcing the marriage of Mr. Willie Currin to Miss Mary Pitts, at Corrinth church on the 23rd inst. Leo as not pres ent at any of the above weddings therefore cannot give a discription MissTJertie Lane was known to the readers of the Ledger as "Little Girl." Hope we may hear from her at her new home again through the Ledger. - . Leo. Evangelist Fife has just closed a good meeting at Louisisburg. Miss Mattie Rice is spending the week with relatives at Kittrel. Our school in district 32 has suss pended for Christmas. Will reopen Jan. 4, 1897. The new preacher will be at Salem next Sunday. Let everybody turn out and hear a good sermon. Mr. -Joseph P. Breedlove, of Trin ity College, arrived Tuesday to spend the holidays with the old folks at hornet The coons have no doubt taken the court house and white men will only go there when they have pressing business. In the loss of C. F. Crews from the court house Granville county loses the best and most competent officer she has ever had. . We wish a happy Christmas to the editor of this paper, his office force and to all thb writers and readers of ae Public Ledger. A postal card was recently receiv ed at Trinity College which con tained 1895 words written on one side with pen and ink. A man named Perry, a tobacco curer rrom UTanville, stole a horse and buggy recently in Green county and was captured at Wilson. The "Democrat" is not a very wel come yisitor in many homes in this section. We think the Republican would be much nearer the right name for it. Neighbor's don't all have your Christmas dinners the same day as it puts a fellow to a very great in convenience to haye to help eat two turkeys in one day. Mr E. N. Crews killed a number of fine hogs recently, and so did our friend Lex Dement. Mr. N. G. Crews killed his little boys house pig which tipped the beam at 414 pounds. People who let their stock run at large to the injury ot their neigh bors do a very great wrong, besides they are not ' law-abiding citizens. We captured two hogs last Sabbath and missed getting seyeral more. Mr. Roy Currin and family have moved and are now our near neigh bors. We extend to them a hearty welcome into this community. Mr. Currin has killed a house pig that weighed 390 pounds besides killing several other good hogs. Lackland is a clever fellow, has a level head and is a good writer. His recent articles on the mormons was well written, and we endorse all he said about them. Those people in Ox ford andGranville who have no high er calling than that of entertaining Mormons and by so doing encourage their infamous doctrine, that of hav ing a multiplicity ot wiyes, could very well be spared from our county. Tha band of Bright Jewels held a yery interesting meeting .at oaiem last Sunday morning. Also the mem bers of the Woman's Missionary So ciety held a meeting Sunday after noon at the home of Mrs. Susan Hunt. These meetings are growing in interest and will doubtless result in great good. The doors of every home in this community should he thrown wide open for the meetings of the Woman's Missionary Society, and we should feel it an honor to ha7e this band of Christian women meet in our homes.

He died in a tew hours III I I II 1 o There is no joy in this world equal to the happiness of motherhood. A woman findf ample compensation for her trials and wor ries and bothers in the soft, clinging- little body nestling close to her own in the trustful clinging of the little hands, and the love light in the little eyes. A woman's health is her dearest pos session. Good looks, good times, happi ness, love and its continuance, depend on her health. Almost all of the sick ness of women is traceable directly or indi-. rectly to some derangement of the organs distinctlv feminine. Troubles of this kind are often neglected because a very natural and proper modesty keeps women away from physicians, whose insistence upon ex amination and local treatment is generally as useless as it is common. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will do more for them than qq doctors in 100. It will do more than the hundredth doctor can unless he pre scribes it. It is a prescription of Doctoi Pierce, who for Vi years has been chief con suiting physician of the World's Dispen sary and Invalids' Hotel, at Buffalo. " I lost six babies bv untimely births.
