LOTS OF NEWS Freshly Gathered, Tersely Put and Interesting in Substance. Oysters are plentiful. A few straw hats still linger. Thanksgiving is the next holi day. Good-bye summer as it will have to take a vacation. Rev. A. S. Caldwell will occupy his pulpit as usual next Sunday. Autumn leaves are blushins' at the nakedness they leave behind. Mrs. Willie Mitchell, who has been on the sick list, is much better. Mr. W. A. Adams has rented the residence of Mr. "D." Meadows on Broadway. The editor thanks Mrs. R. B. Ragland for the jumbo sweet potato of the season. The wall of the burnt stores have been pull down under the supervision ot unier ttenn. Mrs. W. J. Stem and son, who have been quite sick for some days, are improving. The McGuire residence was sold at public auction Monday, and was bid off at $2,000. A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity into smiles. A good many people who expect to be angels may need wings made of fire proof material. A large quantity of lumber has passed through Oxford for the gold mine during the past week. Mr. J. Y. Paris has rented the Wimbish residence on College street and will move there in a few days. Mr. F. B. Wimbish has moved his family to Raleigh, and we wish them a pleasant sojourn in that city. Rev. A. S. Caldwell and Mr. John Webb are in Littleton this week attending the meeting of Albermarle Presbytery. Blessed be the inventor who suc ceeds in perfecting a device that will compel a man to shut up when he has said enough. He is happy whose circumstances suit his temper; but he is more ex cellent who can suit his temper to any circumstances. Mr. J. D. Brooks bought the first bale of cotton ginned and sold in Oxford, and was burned in the fire Sunday morning. The dropping of the tempera ture is a pleasing reminder to rural Sambo that 'possums and persim mons will soon be ripe. If at first you don't succeed In all your merchandising, Here is a tip that you should heed Increase your advertising. Messrs. S. H. Smith and W. B. Ballou, the owners of the fine trotting horse, have sold him and now pull the ribbons over a pair of stylish bays. It speaks well for the farmers that the only kind of famine with which the country is familiar is a low price famine produced by the trusts. Some of the people of this State are very much agitated over the lease question says Durham Sun. It is not of the Mary Ellen variety, however. Dr. H. C. Herndon had a sow a few days ago to haye a litter of 15 pigs. This is the largest number we ever heard of. Several of them have since died. Mr. Coley Gill, of Salem Town ship, on about acre of land raised enough sugar cane to make 97 gal lons of molasses. It must have been a fine piece of cane. Mr. W. D. Lynch has removed from College street to the dwelling owned by Dr. S. H. Cannady on Asylum street. The doctor had the house nicelv repaired. Some people around Durham seem to be of the opinion that if Prosperity Is here she should be ar rested and made to give bond for her appearance. Durham Sun, The readers of the Public Ledger will find several new legal advertisements in this issue, to which we direct your atten'ionas possibly you might be directly in terested. The free Silver Democrats in New York are determined to keep their cause at the forefont by George, as the Democrat Alliance has nom inated George for mayor of Greater New York.

Wood asks us to sin cerely thank all persons who assist ed in saving his stock from the fire on Sunday morning last, with the assurance of warmest thanks for the timely aid of both his white and col ored friends in the hour of great emergency. We have been requested to ask if any one in the county has the beautiful flag that the ladies present ed, to the old Granville Grays when they first started out to battle for their country's cause. If it can be found they want to use it at the Re- union on the 14th. C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7. 1897. Sheriff W. S. Cozart is in town this week looking after his office work. We are forced to leave out quite a number of our correspondents this week. Catch right on to the change in the advertisement of F. W. Hancock druggist. He is a seeker after your trade. Mr. Willie Wilkerson is rapidly coming to the front again with the Johnson Warehouse, and is making good sales. Those who have business with Mr. J. D. Brooks will find him at the store of Mr. J. F. White's. Mr. Brooks will open again in a short time, which will be good news to his customers. Mr. Joe Medford is now occupy ing the residence on Raleigh street recently occupied by John T. Britt, and Mrs. Holly has moved to the Hays cottage on College street just vacated by Mr. W. D. Lynch. Wednesday was the day of the atonement and fasting and prayer with the Jews, and in consequence the Clothing Houoe of Mr. B. F. Kronheimer, and the Millinery Store of the Misses Kronheimer were closed. The pleasant Hugh Davis is again back in Oxford to the delight of his many friends, and will remain with us for a while. He is behind the dress goods counter of 1-iandis & Eston, and it is said he is one of the best dress goods salesmen in the State. ! Among those we noticed on our streets Wednesday were: Misses Eva and Annie Cheatham, of near Oxford; Mrs. C. F. Burnett, of Hes ter; Mrs. J. D. Williams and chil dren, of Fairport; Mrs. Louetta Hopkins, of Stem, and Mrs. Cam Burnett, of near Oxford. The millinery opening commenc ed Monday by the Misses Kronheim er, and those of Messrs. Landis & Easton and Long Bros., occurred yesterday and were larerely attended by the ladies. The displays were grand and tbe latest .fads in head gear were beautiful and very catch ing. We are requested by Mr. W. A. Adams to return his warmest thanks to the citizens of Oxford, both white and colored, for their efficent work in saving his furniture daring the burning of his residence on Saturday morning, and to the neighbors who so kindly tendered his family every possible aid and comfort. To one and all many, many thanks, and the spontaneous offers of every kindest will ever be gratefully remembered by him and family. Our warehouses started out the new tobacco year last Friday with a very large break, and it is the in tention of the several hustling pro pretors of our warehouses to largely increase the sales in Oxford this year. They are- hard to beat, and are backed up by as liberal and gentlemanly set of buyers as can be found on any market in the Union. They hold large orders and are anxious to fill them, so bring your tobacco along to Oxford. Tobacco Board of Trade. Our tobacco men met in their an nual meeting on the evening of Sept. 30th, and elected the follow ing officers for the current year: President John Meadows. Vice President J. G. Hunt. Secy Treasurer W. D. Currin. The following committees were appointed: Executive Committee E.T.White, S. W. Cooper, J. H. Bullock, Z. W Lyon, W. I. Wilkinson, W- A. Adams and J. M. Currin. Committee on Arbitration John Webb, J. D. BullocV, J. G. Hunt, G. W. Wooding and I. N. Day. Sales Committee vv. B. Ballou, J. M. Currin and E. H. Osborn. The meeting was well attended and everything lor the best interest of the market was duly considered, and Oxford will be found in the front rank when the year closes. Center Warehouse Durham. It will been by an advertisement elsewhere that "Uncle Hub" Cozart will stick to the name of Center Warehouse. He is running this ware house in Durham and seeks the trade of his old Granville friends, promis ing to treat them right and get the very highest prices for all grades of tobacco. He tells them to give him a trial, and will be sure to do every, thing possible to satisfy them in prices. By all means remember our old friend and former countyman when you go to Durham with a ship ment or load of tobacco as he seeks and want your trade. He has strong backing and awaits your coming. A Card of Thanks. We desire to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to the many friends who so faithfully workecTto help us save our furniture, &cM dur ing the fire which destroyed our home on the morning of Oct. 2nd, and also to the neighbors who threw their doors open that we might share their homes with them. We use this method to assure them that their kindness will ever be held in grate ful rememberance by us. C. A. Carroll, J. L. Furgurson. Attention, Bright Tobacco Growers. How is this?

To the editor of the Public Led ger: A Roman Catholic paper call ed "Truth" published in Raleigh by the Priest who lectured here about two years ago on the doctrines of his Church is being, 1 am told, wide ly circulated in Oxford. There has been pointed out to me in this paper a classification of the various "sects" that have sprung up since the beginning of the Protestant Reformation, and among these "sects" is classed "the Episcopalian sect, founded Dy tienry viii in 1534" and, for the truth of this state ment,- "Macaulay and voguely other English historians" are cited as authority. Now neither Macaulay nor any other reputable English historian, not a Roman Catholic ever made any such statement as this. What Macaulay does say is that the church of England, during Henry s reign cast off the Roman Pope's tyranny which had been gradually fastened on the English church after many struggles against it, through the course of seyeral centuries before Henry's reign. Macaulay knew and eyery school boy ought to know that there was a British church in England long be fore the first Roman Missionary, Augustine, landed on her shore in the year A. D. 597: that in the year 1215 there was a Church of England there recognizing herself and recognized bv the world as such, in opposition to the claims of Pope Innocent III to sniritual supremacy in that country, and that it was her clergy and laity who compelled the infamious King John to relinquish his purpose of conceding these claims of the Pope's and to sign Magna Charta, that great guarantee of the liberties of both tne Church and the state against which the Pope immediately hurled his vain anathema, out i was not until thiee centuries later that the church actually gained her liberty and threw off forever the tyranny of the Stalian Bishop. This was during the reign ot Henry viii, but he no more founded the "Lpis copalian sect" in England than did King John found the Roman Church in England when he degraded nim- self . as England's king, to become the "Pone's man." This ancient lie has been refuted so often and so conclusively that I feel that I owe an apology to your readers for telling them of things that are so well known. There are many persons, however, who read history superficially and are there fore liable to be misled by a state ment so boldly and categorically made as this is. I hope theretore that I may be permitted again to brand this statement for what it is a wilful perversion and misstatement against the peace of the Church, of one ot the plainest racis iu miutjr. J. F. Plummer. The Minor Warehouse. One of the most popular and pros gressiye warehousemen of Oxford is Sol Cooper, Proprietor of tbe Minor Warehouse, and has a nosi or irieias amnw tho farmers of this section, as he is always on the look out for their interest. It is a real pleasure to him to get the cream of the mar ket for their tobacco on the well lighted floor of the immense Minor Warnhnnsfl. which is admiraDiy ar- rantraA for showing the erolden weed vm in tha rfirr hpst advantage. Sol Cooper is what is termed a "regular Vinmmer" on four wheels, and will sell a much larger quantity of tobac co this year than last, and is reacn intr rnt into a much larger territory, and seeks the trade of the farmers through the columns of the Public T.vr,nvR.. Read his message to the people in another part of this paper, and give him a trial ioaa as w ue he will make every pile bring the top of the market. He has a corps of assistants arouna mm mai ;a hrA tn heat and thev are. like the genial and clever proprietor, anx- ions to do everytnmg possiuio iu please all who sell on the Minor Warehouse floor.

Shell Out Your Taxes. Before many moons there is eroincr to be trouble in our grand Old Ncrth btate. Ihe bheriffs of the various counties are beginning to notify the taxpayers that they will be required to comply with the tax law or suffer the penalties prescribed by that law. says the Winston Journal. There is no alternative on the part of the tax collector as their duties are mandatory and cannot be shun ned. Bitter feeling against them will be engendered in many instances because of their effort to do their duty, but the taxpayer should use his common sense and lay the blame at the door of those to whom the odium of this obnoxious legislation belong s. The egotistic statemen of the re cent so-called reform legislature i the guilty one and not the bherWl'. This abomination in the code of our land ought to be enough to sends its originator and supporters to State's prison, or at least to isolate them tbe political arena forever. It is a burn ing shame and they deserve to be branded foreyer as traitors to the people. The law will be enforced and the more strictly it is done the better. Its enforement means its repeal at an early date. It will be seen from another coK umn that Sheriff Cozart of Granville will be on his rounds during the month so get ready for him, and pay your taxes.

Poor fellow he is much better off. I gave him a nice burial, and the last of Dixie Blacknall lies in our beauti ful Mt. Olivet Cemetery." He made his home in Durham for more than a year, aud was in Ox ford about a month ago, remaining only a short timb, and looked very badly indeed. He was a good tele graph operator, but had not be n employed for several years, He possessed a kind heart and was his worst enemy. Blind-fold.
