Oxford is one ot the healthest towns in the State. There continues to be a demend for residences in Oxford. Mr. Thornwell Lanier, after several days sickness, is out again. Your are cordially invited to at tend the Bazaar at Armory Hall to night. If you want to increase your holliday trade advertise in the Pub lic Ledger. Mr. Wash Lynch has received a handsome line of holliday goods and invites you to call and examine them. The Populists speaking of North Carolina as the last stronghold of Populism. Their sole desire is to hold the balance of power four years longer. Otho Wilson declares in his paper, The Hayseeder, that Senator Butler told him he would make some kind of a deal in 1900 by which he would continue in power. A Wake county farmer sent to President McKinley a box containing an "ash cake" and some 4i cent cotton, saying the former was for his Thanksgiving dinner. Lee Caviniss, of Hester, was on the market Tuesday with another load of tobacco at the Meadows and captured some more good prices, as follows: $7, 11, 34, 20f , 9. The gentlemanly little Francis Cox suffered a painful accident a few days ago. He was accidently hit on the nose by a school-mate and badly hurt, but the polite little fel low is all right now. The oid homestead of Mr. Wash Currin, one of the most desirable farms in Walnut Grove Township, was purchased Monday by his youngest son, Mr. Roy Currin, now a resident of Salem township. A thief or thieves entered the ticket office or the Southern Railway on Sunday night by prizing open one of the windows and robbed the e ish drawer of $27. No clue as to who the robbers were has as yet been obtained. "The mistake I made was ever allowing myself to follow Butler. I might have known that he was only after an office. I think it is time white men were getting together." Irvin M. Green to the editor of the Louisburg Times. Cadet Horn, who has been quite sick at the Horner School, we are pleased to note is rapidly recovering. His parents, Mr, and Mrs. Ashley Horn, of Clayton, haye been at his bed side most of the time. Mr. Horn left for home on Tuesday. Our Populist friends in Gran ville have found out the law passed by the Legislature providing impris onment foi non-payment of taxes was not a "Democratic Lie." Judge Robinson, a Rep-Pop. Judge, has declared the law unconstitutional. Tammany Hall Friday celebrat ed its victory in the recent municip al election in Greater New York by giving away $40,000 of unexpended campaign funds, $20,000 to the Cuban insurgents and $20,000 to the poor of the city. Nathan Straus supple mented this with a gift of 1,000 tons of coal, also for the poor of New York. The Charity and Children well says; Governar Russell, the railroad fighter, has been mightily crippled in his crusade by the fact being dis covered and published that he rides on free passes himself! It would seem that if the Governor hates the railroads so, he ought to pay them for hauling him, seeing that there are some two or three hundred pounds of his excellency. The Progressive Farmer last week contains a set of resolutions adopted by the Person County Far mers' Alliance, endorsing Batler and Rnssell and the denouncing the minority Populists in the plainest terms as "traitors." This made the minority Populists angry, and they say that Butler wrote the resolution with his usual threat, "I'll break you to pieces." It seems from what the minority Populists say that he must haye used this threat a good many times in the not distant past. For 30 days we offer you a new buggy for $30.00 spot cash.

Five hundred visitors attending Methodist Conference in Raleieh this week. Be sure to read the change in F. W. Hancock's advertisement on the first page. We learn that the reception at Oxford Seminary Thursday evening last was a most enjoyable affair. We call attention to sale of land by B. S. Royster commissioner, and Executors notice of Thos. and J, H. Taylor elsewhere in this issue. How is this issue of the Public Ledger for a county paper ? It is read by 4,000 people each week and neyer ceases to work for Oxford. Stolen or strayed, one white set ter dog with brown spots and brown head, 6 months old, name Dan. Fin der will be rewarded by returning him to Mr. E. T. Crews. Bishop Cheshire, of the North Carolina Diocese of the Episcopal Church, visited this Palish Sunday night and preached to a large con gregation. His sermon was a fine one, and attentively listen to by his intelligent and refined congregation. After the sermon he administered the right of Confirmation to a class of five. Our Tobacco Market is still mak ing a fine record for high prices on all grades. Tuesday the sales at the several warehouses continued until late in the afternoon, and from all we can learn sellers were greatly pleased with the prices received. The Oxford market is breaking its former record, and all who come will receive the highest average in reach Rev. M. H. Tuttle.the very able pastor of the Methodist church in Oxford, who has so acceptably served his congregation, left for Raleigh Tuesday to attend the Conference, and of course will return, as he is greatly beloved by his congregation. Rev. G. B. Perry, of the Oxford Cir cuit, and Rev. B. C. Allred, of Gran ville Circuit, who have been faithful servants in their fields of labor, are attending Conference. Our Superior Court ended Mon day morning, the docket being con' eluded, with the exception of sever al cases that the parties were not ready for trial, including many com promises effected by counsel, the civil docket was exhausted. Judge Adams is making a fair record as a new Judge, and we hope he will not by any means allow his political friends to influence him in rendering any decision that comes under his jurisdiction. Old Gray Whiskered Santa Clans is now on the run as Christmas is near at hand, and the children are begining to send him word what they want over the telephone. It is given up that Hall's Drug Store is headquarters for a bie line of Christ mas Goods ol all kinds, and his stock this season is large and exten- siye, so you had better make your selection early before the rush be gins, if you want the pick. Read Mr. Hall's advertisement on the 4th page of this paper, and go and have your goods laid aside. Mr. S. T. Hobgood, one of the thrifty farmers of the Sunset section, who had gathered and hauled up his crop of corn and penned it up pre paratory to having it shucked last Thursday, was aroused during last Wednesday night and found both pens of his corn in flames. Some black hearted scoundrel had gone there and set both pens on fire at one time, and were burned up. This is a serious loss to Mr. Hobgood, and we truly hope the incendiary will be found out and brought to justice if there is such these times. We witnessed our first game of foot ball on Thanksgiving Day be tween the Horner School team and that of the A. and M. College, Ral eigh. There was quite a large num ber of our people present, and took a liyely interest in the game. As we are not up-to date on foot ball games it looked to us like a knock down and drag out affair. In fact we might say it was a ground business altogether, but the A. and M. boys got there so we are told by a score of 16 to 0. Both sides rolled and tumbled oyer the earth at a break neck gate to get hold of a ball cover ed with hog skin. No limbs wer9 broken, but the goal was reached. Miss Alhe Hughes, Norfolk, Va., was frightfully burned on the face and neck. Pain was instantly relieyed by De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve, which healed the In jury without leaving a scar. It is the famous pile remedy. J. G. Hall. For 30 days we offer you a new buggy for $30.00 spot cash. Come quick or you will not get one. dec.2. TAYLOR & CANNADY.

Mr. Frank B. Hays arrived in Ox ford last Saturday with the inten tion of casting his lot again with us after having lived in New York City for several years. As to how he has occupied his time since leaving Ox- foid the following from last Thurs day's Pharmaceutical Era, published in New York, throws more light than we can say : "F. B. Hays, who has for several years past been identified with the interests of the Druggists?- Circular as assistant eaitor ana local news reporter, has resigned from the ser vice of that journal and gone to his home at Oxford, N. C, for needed rest and to regain health and weight. During his service in this city he has become well known to the drug trade in all its branches, and will be miss ed by all alike. He had a happy style in writing and his individuality has been stamped legibly upon all his work for his paper. His genial Southern deportment, his accuracy and fairness as a reporter made him welcome at any gathering, and the Circular will find it difficult to re place him. The standing to which he brought the news department of that paper is evidence of the high quality of his work. Here's to you Mr. Hays, may you prosper in all your undertakings." Mr. Hays informs the editor that his separation from his paper was entirely amicable, and produced a highly commendatory letter from its publishers to that effect. He has not decided upon what course he wil pursue in the future, but wants to rest and recreate for a while before making any permanent arrange ment. His host of friends in Oxford welcome him back to his old home again, with the hope that he may find it to his interest to remain pel manently. Prosperity comes quickest to the man whose liver is in good condition. De Witt's Little Early Risers are famous little pills for constipation, billiousness, indigestion and all stomack and liver troubles. J. G. Hall. Honor to P. P. Hobgood, Jr. It gives us pleasure to print the following from the Washington City Times of Nov. 20. It shows that our young townsman was not only on the winning side, but that he was the foremost man on that side: The subject, "Resolved, That the Hawaiian Islands Should be Annex ed to the United States," was de bated by the Law School Debating Society, of Columbian University, at University Hall last night. The de cision was for the affirmative. The contestants were: Affirmative, 1. Q. H. Alward, of New Jersey; F. P. Hobgood, of North Carolina, and F. N. French, of New Jersey. Neg ative, J. W. Crooks, of Illinois; E. F. Denison, of Illinois, and J. B. Aird, of Alabama. Messrs. Hobgood and Denison were declared to be the best speakers. The Judges were Judge W, A. Maury, Hon. C. W. Needham and Prof. L. D. Dodge. Ralph H. Riddleberger, of Virginia, president of the society, presided. Howard S. Lewis, of Kansas, was chairman of the executive committee. It is easy to catch a cold and just as easy to get rid of it if you commence early to use One Minute Cough Cure. It cures coughs, colds, bronchits, pneumonia and all throat and lung troubles. It is pleasant to take, safe to use and sure to cure. J. G. Hall. For 30 days we offer ycu a new buggy for $30.00 spot cash. Come quick or you will not get one. dec.2. TAYLOR & CANNADY. ' THE BAZAAR. Opened Tuesday Evening with Great Success Will Close Tonight. The ladies of St. Stephen's Episco pal Church, assisted by the ladies of other churches, haye been busy for several days in making preparations for the opening of Bazaar at Armory Hall, which was opened on Tuesday eyening and was a great success. Armory Hall under the skillful and astute management of Misses Mary Horner and Ruth Ferrebee has been prettily decorated and divided off in different booths. Each booth is ap propriately decorated and presided over by charming young ladies, and articles of every description may be purchased at the different booths. In connection with the Bazaar the most delicious oysters, birds and other edibles may be had. The at tendance on the opening evening, (Tuesday) was yery large and the re ceipts most gratifying, which assures the success of this most laudable un dertaking of our enterprising ladies, and to efficiency of the different com mittees is largely due the success of of the Bazaar. The proceeds of the Bazaar go to the Church Building Fund of St. Stephen's Church, and we trust the people of Oxford will see that today, Thursday, the ladies are most lib erally patronized. Turn out one and all and attend the Bazaar tonight. in tne name or tne ladies we ex tend warmest thanks to the Gran ville Grays for use of Armory in the Odd Fellows building. Mrs M. B. Ford, Ruddell's, 111., suf fered for eight years from dyspepsia and chronic constipation and was finally cur ed by using DeWitt's Little Early Risers, the famous little pills for all stomach and liver troubles.

The fourth and last quarterly meeting tor tne uxrord circuit was held at Salem Saturday before the third Sunday in November. The Presiding Elder, Dr. E. A. Yates was present and preached at 11 o'clock. His text was taken from James 5-16. "The fervent effectual prayer of the rightous man availith much." The speaker preached a fine ser mon on prayer. We eiye a short sketch or a few sentences used during the discourso. He said: JNo man can be saved without prayer. No man can be lost with prayer. Absolutely impos sible for any one to enjoy religion without prayer. No sinner ever re turned from his ways without he prayed. What is prayerj? It is com munion with God. Prayer is not a long form o words. I pity the boy or girl who goes outnnto the world and never heard their parents pray. One of the very best effects of prayer is that it changes us. After the sermon the Conference was held and the stewards made fine report. The stewards elected for the ensuing year were H. W. Crews, N. G. Crews, C. F. Crews and T. B. Paiham. We elected a fine board of stew ards, haying all Crews but one and his grand mother was a Crews so we did not miss it much. Sunday morning, Nov. 21st, Dr. E. A. Yates was the first to get to the church and after Sunday school he took his text from Heb. 13 5. "Let your conversation be with out covetousness, and be content with such things as you have, &c." He said a great many things in this world that is called love is not love. The love of money is the root of all evil. Any man can get rich if he will go into copartnership with the devil. Seventyfive per cent of the sin in the world is caused by the love of coyetousness. The bar keeper does not sell whis key to make widows and orphan, but to make money. The soul is so constituted that it never is satisfied. The coveteous man never has been, and never will be satisfied with what he has made. Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years, &c. God said, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee. - The soul needs feeding just as well as the body. There is more soul wretchedness in a palace than there is in a hut. We are to be happy on the same line of things that makes God hap- py- God is infinitely ricn and nappy. You could not buy a wife for a hun dred million dollars, you might buy a woman. I will never leave thee nor for sake thee. It is always morning somewhere. Many a man in this world is rich one day and poor the next. The speaker dwelt at some length on love and described it beautifully. He said you might burn your house and your merchandise, but your home would not be burned. That home was where love is.

Editor News & Observer: I saw something today I have never saw before. A negro had a white man under arrest at Woodlief's store near the Granville county line. The ne gro was a Wake county negro and the white man was a Granville man. It seems the negro informed or swore out the warrant before Jas. M.Davis, a justice of the peace of Granville county, and he deputised the negro to execute the warrant. The war rant was issued against the white man for stabbing a negro, the neph ew of the negro who had the white man under arrest. It was a sight for New Light to see. I heard the oldest inhabitants say they never saw the sight before. The negro borrow ed a gun from a man at Woodlief's store to guard the white man with. Yours for Gsanville Fusion, W. H. Chappell.

Misses Rosa and Beckie Peed took in Durham Tuesday. Mr. Chas. Roberts visited Oxford one day the past week. Dr. A. S. Atwater and family are on an extended visit to his father in Chatham county. Rev. M. A. Adams delivered a most excellent sermon here Sunday on State Missions. Mr. Thomas Washington, it seems will visit this occasionally, and must be charmed with one of our young ladies. Mr. W. R. Walters, of Wilton, a prosperous farmer, is often seen here and he too must be afflicted with cupid's arrow. Most of our people attended the celebration of the 18th year of Miss Flora Veazey Saturday, given by her uncle, Mr. A. L. Veazey. We wish her many more happy birth days as well enjoyed as this one was. One of the meanest things a young man can do, is to monopolize the time and attention of a young lady for a year or more without any def inite object, and to the exclusion of other gentlemen who supposing him to haye matrimonial intention absent themselves from her society. "This selfish dog in-the-manger," way of proceeding should be forbidden by all parents. Let all your dealings with women young men, be honest and noble, although I would advise that young men wish to appear well in every respect should get married. I have heard it said that a unmar ried man was but half a man. hob White, WANTED The Brooklyn Life Insu rance Company, of New York, a regular company of thirty years standing during which time it has paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars to beneficiaries iu the State of North Carolina alone, is about to reopen an agency force in that State.
