Much in this life is naught but hope, but without it we would perish utterly. Friendship, if it is of the real sort, doubles our joys and divides our sorrows. All honor to every true white man and the many true colored men who helped to redeem Granville county. Some one left a brown painted gold headed cane in the Register of Deeds office which can be had by calling at this office. Ye gods and little fishes where are the white demagogues and negro political preachers at anyhow? In the black soup by gum. Thanksgiving didn't settle this nation's business with the turkey. It may have another bone to pick with it about Christmas. Our friend S. A. Green, of Stem, scooped in good prices as follows at the Johnson Warehouse Friday: $9, 13i, 22, 3Si, 231, and 8i. Some of the States are agitating the idea of putting a heavy tariff on bachelors. At first sight this looks like a form of the single tax princi ple. We are glad to learn that Mary, the little daughter of Uol. and Mrs. B. S. Royster, who has been sick the past week, has almost entirely re covered. Mr. F. W. Hancock will con duct services at Hester's church on Sunday morning in place of Dr. Marsh, who is attending the .Baptist Convention. The Durham people are sub stantial friends of the Orphan Asy lum, as they paid into the treasury of that institution during the month of November over $700. The citizens of Statesville would not allow D. C. Coviagton, a negro political preacher of Charlotte to locate in that town. He was notified that he would be better off if he re mained away. Mr. H. J. Council was happily married on Wednesday morning last to Miss Annie Armstrong at Rocky Mount, and reached Oxford that eyeniug, and received the congratu lations of friends. All who sell tobacco at the Johnson sing praises for Zack Lyon, as he always sticks to a pile until the last copper is reached. As a ware housemen he is put down as a win ner of high averages. Mr. Zack Lyon, of the Johnson Warehouse, is a prize winner as he leads in the sales of leaf tobacco for November. Oxford is well in the lead over the other markets in this territory and is selling more tobacco in the history of the market. As we go along remember that that Oxford tobacco market is open six days in the week and that here you get good prices and comfortable accommodations, and in trading you will fund goods as cheap, if not cheaper, than in any other town. Now that the election is over we intend to begin an active canvass for new subscribers. We want the few people left in your neighbor hood who do not take this paper to become subscribers at once. We will appreciate any efforts by our Iriends to help us in this matter. -The editor has been honored with an invitation to attend the marriage of Miss Lucy Worth, the highly accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry London, to Mr. John H. Anderson, on Wednesday evening, D. cember 14, 1898, at 8 o'clock, at Bartholomew's church, Pittsboro, N. C. There is a new song going the rounds of the press and it runs as follows: "We don't want to buy at yourplag,we don't want to trade there any more; you will be sorry when you see us going in some other store. You can't sell us any stale goods, we have opened wide oar eyes; we don't want to trade at your store, because you do not advertise. The "old man" is happy as he especially enjoyed the fruits of two yars labor by seeing Democrats go into office Monday. We were pro nounced to strong a Democrat by many of the party to assume the candidacy of an office, and are proud of our record on that score. We have never yet failed to do our full duty in the cause of Democracy whether it is appreciated by the party or not. Greensboro Record: My boy, you won't always be twenty years old.

Ye demagogues and negro polit ical negro preachers are awful sick now the Democrats assumed con trol of the county Monday. Mayor E. W. Jones, of Reayis yille, just as we expected beats the Mayor of Scuffleton raising porkers. He killed a small pig Monday that only weighed 410 pounds. Mr. J. L. Furgerson, who prides himself on raising fine porkers, walked out to his pen Sunday morn ing and found a 300 pound pig dead. He was so fat it is supposed he died from stragulation. Another severe storm swept the North and West Sunday. In Balti more the storm was worst known in 19 years, and 800 houses were blown down. A severe snow storm pre vailed over the Great Lakes. - Prof. Zuhg, a graduate of Har vard, has arrived to enter upon his duties at the celebrated Horner Mil itary School. He takes the place as teacher of Bishop-elect Junius M. Horner. The cadets yery much re gret to give him up as he is exceed ingly popular with them. A fire at Kittrell Sunday morn ing, destroyed the store of Hedge peth & Smith, W. M. Beckham, Woodlief & Co., the labratory of Mrs. Joe Person, R. M. Person's office, and D. & E. Woodlief leaf tobacco house. Glad our friend Ira T. Hunt escaped with loss of $500 fully in sured. Loss at fire was $10,000, with about $3,500 insurance. The Methodist Conference which has been in session at Elizabeth City past week returned all the preachers in Granville, and Revs. Perry and Allred on Franklinton and Tar River circuits. We lose the venerable and greatly beloved Dr. Yates as Presid ing Elder, and have in his place the abie Dr. J. T. Gibbs, who is well known in Oxford and Granville as he ha s served our people faithfully and well in past years. The gallant Kitchin's official majority over Adams in this district is 2,259. That don't look much like Adams cleaned out the Kitchin in the 5th Congressional District, The two largest majorities for congress men were for Klutz of the 8th, who receiyed 6,030. and for Bellamy in the 6ih, who received 5,833, and the two lowest were for Crawford in the 9th district, 144, and Thomas in the Third, 188. But they got there just the same. Brother M. L. Shipman, of the Hendersonville Hustler, one of the champion fighters for white suprem acy in the west, is a candidate fur one of the principal clerkships in the Legislature, and certainly deserves due consideration at the hands of the members of the Legislature. He is endorsed by such men as Hon. W. T. Crawford, Locke Craig, James H. Merriman and others, and we hope he will reap his reward as but few newspaper men who stand the blunt of the.fight receive due consideration at the hands of the Democratic party. The piles of old rubbish in front of the Court House disfigures the street. Some wag remarked Mon day if "all that old iron and wheels were the results of cleaning out the offices in the Court House the defunct Rep Pop combine had many old wheels in their heads." Another said, "wonder if that old dilapidat ed carriage is the one that Bill Roys ter and Coley Gill rode in around the campaign to continue negro rule in Granville, and if it was it horribly wrecked from a collision with the through united vestibule of white supremacy?" The musical entertainment at the Francis Hilliard School Friday evening proved a rare treat for lovers af choice music. Miss Gilbert, the highly accomplished music teacher, showed conclusively to the cultivated audience that she possess ed rare powers as a vocalist as well as performing on the piano. She completely captured the audience and was pronounced by many the finest vocalist they have heard for years. Miss Nina Horner, one of Oxford's elegant performers' played the accompaniments. The choruses were sung by the young ladies of the school, and Misses Julia Usry and Laura Williams assisted the charm ing Miss Gilbert in the instrumental music. The evening was greatly en joyed by all who attended as it was a musical treat. Denfnem Cannot be Cnred by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. VV hen this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and tliis tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by cat urh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces.

Read two administrators notices in this issue, as they may concern you. As you may be probably in terested we ask you read two land sales under mortgages appearing for the first time in this issue. The Grand Lodge of Colored Masons of North Carolina will meet in Oxford next week, and we feel sure that the lodge here will enter tain the members well. The fine photographer, J. D, Brinkley announces that he can furnish you with elegant Christmas presents, in the way of pictures of the highest art, and be certain to visit his art Emporium and inspect them. Read his advertisement. To the disgust of the dema gogues, negroes and Pritchard Mc Kinley failed to mention in his mess age the riot question in North and South Carolina. This shows that all the leading Northern republicans are in sympathy with the people of these States in their fight for White Supremacy. The Fleming-Cozrt case as to the office of Sheriff was argured be fore the Supreme Court Monday afternoon. Ex-Judge Graham and Major John Graham appeared for Mr. Fleming, and Mr. T. T. Hicks, of Henderson, for Mr. Cozart. The opinion will not be handed down be fore next week. Some think that a new election will be ordered, and that Judge Timberlake had no right to declare Cozart elected. After afflicting the true white people of Granville for four long years with Rev. Starvation William Royster and upholding him m much of his rascality Sheriff Cozart aetu ally dispensed with his services on Monday and appointed James Bu chanan, a clever man, in his place This sounds to us like death bed re pentance. He should go further and get rid of Coley Gill, who prefers ne gro jurors over white one. If you are in search of Christmas gifts why go to Lynch's jewelry store where a beautiful line of new and attractive novelties are just being opened up and added to the stock. The prices quoted simply paralyze anything we have heretofore seen. There is a fine display of jewelry suitable for presents, everything con ceivable in watches, clocks, silver ware, cuff buttons, scarf pins, pun gents but it is impossible to enu merate. It is necessary for you to visit the establishment tc-get pven an idea of the ccmpleteness and beauty of the stock. Old Santa Claus now occupies a big space at his old stand, at Hall's Drug Store, where he has annually visited for 25 years, and is anxious for you to call early and see him. He will be glad to greet his old friends and make new acquaintances. The stock is large and well selected, and will be sold at low prices. The old man arrived loaded down with Toys of all kinds, fine candies, nut, raising, fruits of all kinds, fire crackers, rockets, old man wakers, and many other novelties suitable for presents. Don't fail to see them, and call early before the rush, for you get the pick. Read Hall's big advertisement elsewhere as he has a good picture of Uncle Santa in it. Knap of Heeds Knots. Mr. M. B. Waller visited Durham last Friday. Miss Myrtle Peed is spending this week with relatives on Tar River. Corn in the field is shocked, and when made into whiskey it is shock ing. A girl with her first sweetheart always thinks she invented falling in love. Mr. G. L. Allen, of Wilton, ac companied by Mr. A, A. Lyon, of Lyon, was in this community last week. There wouldn't be so many tired people in the world if they would stop climbing hills before they reach them. Mr. C. J. Roberts has purchased him a feed cutter and horse power combined, and he is not failing to make good use of it. Our wide-awake merchant, Mr. S. F. Bullock, is still on the boom with good success. He is becoming more and more popular with the people from a distance. A Pittsburg man who found that town too hot for him a few days ago committed suicide, and he may now have discovered that there is a hot ter place than Pittsburg. The writer had the pleasure of meeting "Old Sleuth" a few days ago, and he was in fine trim for the purposes he was serving. He is a good auctioneer as well as a writer. Wonder what has become of "Estelle" the dreamer ? We have not heard from Franklinton in some time. I have been to Franklinton, but never had the good luck to meet her. Hope she will write again soon. On Nov. 23, 1898, at the bride's residence, Mr. J. H. Holloway, was united to Mrs. Martha Peed in mar riage. Rev. Mr. Horton officiating. The attendants were, Mr. Pervis filley with Miss Corena Bowling, Mr. Eugene Thompson with Miss Eula Ferrell. After the ceremony and many congratulations, the at tendants returned to the home of the groom, where a most sumptuous sup per awaited to satisfy the inner-man. May their joy and happiness be among the greatest is the wish of PERSONAL NATURE. A Great Deal is Included Under This Head See for Yourself. Miss Mary Ferrebee is visiting friends in Tarboro.

Two Pointed Questions Answered, What is the use of makin? a better article than vour competitor if you can not get a better price for it? Ans.

Washington, Dec. 5, 1898. Congress conyene today, and it will enter upon one of the busiest sessions of years. In addition to the regular annual appropriation bills and other current matters, the Census taking has to be provided for, and goodness knows how many repoits of Commissions are to be acted upon. Although Mr. Reed has a record as a rusher of things in general, vet it is believed that there will be many cf his own party who will want their say, and they differ in regard to the policy ot the Philippines, and other things- It is not believed now an extra session can be ayoided. It may be that only the Senate will b? called in extra session, as they only participate in the making, ratifying, &c, of treaties. Yet many of the influential Members of both Houses oppose annexation of the Pnilip pines, and they will wish to be heard, and would rather feel slighted if only the Senate was here to dispose of the question. As regards the war commission, very little time will be taken up with it. Everyone knows it was carefully selected to bring in a report favor able to the war management, their orders even going so far as to fur nish a list of questions and a line of examination. They were to examie only such witnesses as were favor ably disposed to Algerism, and avoid any unpleasant or startling disclos ures. The country is familiar with how carefully they have followed their instructions. They have taken hundreds of pages of evidence, had it all nicely printed (which is a good thing for printers) and will wind up with a nice recommendation that the war was conducted upon the most efficient and human principles, every thing possible was done for the health and comfort of the soldiers, and Alger, McKinley & Co., have covered themselyes with a blaze of of glory. Then they will lay down their whitewash Ducket, hang up their brush, present a big fat bill to the treasury for their junket, and go home with a well-satisfied air. And many a mother will still know that her boy was starved and neglected in the hospital, when the people of the U. S., voted hundreds of millions for the comfort and care of those who volunteered, with their lives, in their country's defence. And millions more were given to the Red Cross, and still millions more sent direct to the soldiers themselves. And many a soldier will return to his home with wrecked health and shat tered fame, who neyer fired a gun, saw a Spaniard, or left the confines of his country, and he will know HOW IT "WAS done. And manv will return from the army with fine ap parel, and plethoric purses, and thank God we had such a glorious war. The latter class will be the in competent officers, son of lich men or influential politicians, and the contractors who filled their contracts in an election-paid-me-back kind of way, and they are guilty of the crime against our boys equally with those who placed them in that position. The many friends of Hon. W. W. Kitchin are rejoicing oyer his return to next Congress. He has followed the course which will return any man to Congress. He has brought to bear an intelligent, honest and painstaking effort in every duty which has fallen upon him, and has so conducted himself as to convince his constituents that he was attend ing to their affairs earnestly and energetically, and not neglecting them for private ones of his own, as so many congressmen do. Hence, when he went before the people again, they knew him and trusted him and returned him, and Adams, who boasted he "would clean out the Kitchin" will remain at home to do it. or perhaps the horse-stable or pigpen, as they would be more in a line with his talents, since bis miser able cowatdly course on the bench and his gratuitous insult to our womanhood of the State, from a judicial position. Such men can fork up manure far better than they can set ye in Congress, and the people in the Fifth District know it. North Carolina probably sees the dawning of the morning since De cember first. Negro policemen are disappearing, and soon magistrates and canstables and school committe men of a very sable color will return to the shades of the cornfield for which they are fitted by God and nature, and light and intelligence will take their piace. And the great common people, as a body, will feel that uneasiness, which has afflicted them far more than two years past, pass away, and in its place will come a feeling of calm repose and trust, because they know that justice and intelligence and worth rule, and the better class of negroes even will feel glad that the white man has come into his own again.

Newly Elected County Officers As sume Their Duties. Monday was a happy day for the true white men of Granville county as it dispelled the dark cloud which has hung over the Court House for four long years as the newly elected offi cers of the county were installed into office and assumed their duties amid the enthusiastic congratulations of the Democrats, true Populists and old line Republicans. Quite a large number of Demo crats were present to witness the change of affairs, and their faces were wreathed in smiles. The old Board of Commissioners had finished up their two years work for what they conceived to be for the best interest of the taxpayers of the county, and good humoredly retired for the new board. Col, C. M.IRogers and Mr. Ferabow being re lieved by Messrs. Charley Crews and Joseph Royster, while Major James A. Bullock continued in his seat as he was re-elected. While he is a Republican of the old school he has the best interest of the people of Granville at heart and will continue to make a good commissioner. On motion of Commissioner Bul lock the honor of Chairman was con ferred unanimously upon Charley Crews, who will be certain to make an able and efficient officer, and Mr. Royster will prove the right man in the right place. The board is one that will command the confidence of the people, and the affairs of tho county will be in safe hands. The first business before the board was the election of an attorney and the ab'e Colonel B. S. Royster was unanimously chosen, and will per form his duties well, as he alwayfi does in whatever position he occu pies. Mr. John B. Mayes presented his bond as Register of Deeds, which was accepted and he took the oath, and Dr. Taylor politely turned the office over to him. Mr Mayes will make a polite and faithful servant of the people. Mr. Charley Crews, the for mer efficient Democratic Register, has kindly consented to initiate Mr. Mayes into duties of his office which will be well done. Clerk-elect Dr. Graham Hunt was next to step forward and tender his bond which was pronounced all right and the smiling doctor took the oath and Mr. J. M. Sikes courteously re tired with his polite young assistant, Hill Hunter, and assisted the new clerk in catching on to some of the de tails of the office. It goes without say ing that Dr. Hunt will make a most competent and popular official, and his legions of friends are proud that he consented to accept the office. He will be assisted by that high toned gentleman, Mr. W. T. Lyon, who is recognized as one the most effi cient business men in town and will make a capital deputy clerk. The popular Frank Edwards was next to present a heavy bond for Treasurer. It was pronounced good and took the oath of office.
