Paris Bros and Klondike stores Rob bed Friday Night Last. liold and shrewd thieves were on the stealing path in Oxford Friday uicrht and two of our merchants are deprived of several hundred dollars worth of goods. During the night thieve? took a piece of glass out of the front window of v the Klon dike store and helped themselves to what they wanted, and from there went to the rear of Paris Brothers uiid broke in and filled up a trunk with goods. Tn all it is thought that SoOO worth of goods was taken from both stores. The thieves had to have some way to get out of town with the goods and walked over to Mrs. J. H. Horner's and ap propriated her horse and buggy to their especial use, with which the stolen goods were carried in the di rection of Dexter. The horse aud buggy was turned loose and return ed home all right Saturday. Satur day night the thieves needed a wagon to continue their journey and went out to Mr. Louis de Lacroix and hooked up a horse to his spring wagon in which they must have hauled the goods to Adoniram sec tion that night. The team was traced a dozen miles until it was too dark to see the tracks. Early Mon day morning Mr. de Lacroix,s horse was stopped at Cornwall with empty wagon coming towards Oxford. In the"niean time the thieves had stolen another horse and buggy from Mr. Chas. Eastwood, and were seen p iss ing through Yirgilina at midnight Sunday. The chase was again taken up at this point. The last buggy and horse were found three miles this side of South Boston, Va., but all traces of the thieves and goods had disappeared. Mr. James Pans went to South Boston in search of the thieves and goods, while Chief Day went to Rox boro. Mr. de Lacroix and Charley Fernald aid everything possible to catch the thieves. One hundred dollars reward will be paid for the capture and convic tion of the parties. Klondike Store, Oxford, N. C. For the next fifteen days we shall cut prices on a great many articles.

See executor's notice of Robt.W. Lassiter elsewhere in this issue. Mrs. L. C. Taylor, who has been sick, we are pleased to learn, is im proving. Mr. Lonnie Smith killed a hog a few days ago that balanced the scale at 506 pounds. Mr. W. H. Green, of Dexter, was in Oxford Tuesday and dropped in to see the editor. Rumor has it that there will be a marriage soon in Oxford that will surprise the community. Mrs. Mary C. Cannady is haying a commodious stable and barn erect ed on her lot on College street. A bill for the relief ot Col. C. M. Rogers, late sheriff of Granville county, passed the Senate on Friday. Lieut. O. C. Blackley, who has been ciitically ill several days with pneumonia, we are glad to state, is improving. The presence of Jesus in the life brings out the best there is in us by nature and adds the unspeakable beauties of nature. It is currently reported that we nrp to have a roller skatiner rink in Oxford at an early date, and the young people are nuppy. Had it occurred to vou that the Public Ledger was read by 4,000 people eacd weeK and is a nne place to plant an advertisement. The mid-winter concert at theFran cis Hilliard School, under the super vision of the accomplished Miss Gil bert, will take place Friday night. Representatives Charles Bryan, who has been at home several days on account of sickness, was in town Tuesday and honored us with a visit. There will be what is termed a "lasses licking" given by some of the young people on Asylum street Friday nignt. Oh! wont they have a sweet time! The roads leading into Oxford for several weeks have been impas sable. The road to Dement X Road and Tar River pronounced terrible. What is the matter Mr. Overseers? Mr. Louis de Lacroix, who be lieves in having the best stock of hogs, has just received from North ern New York several registered Du Roc Jersey pigs, which are beauties. God is to man what the man makes him: to a merciful man he is merciful, to an upright man he is upright, to the pure he is pure; but to those who oppose him he is a God of terror. The question now arises with our lady readers whether they have visited Landis & Easton's store and inspected the handsome line o'c white goods on display at this popular dry goods house J? The Oxford Public Ledger is 12 years old and Bro.Britt is making it one of the best county papers in theState. Mav both tLe Ledger and its 1 enterprising editor live long and I . l . ; i T t. prosper. xvajeK11 x u&i. - In Ainslee's Magazine last month appeared a short but touching little story from the pen of Mrs. W. E. Shipp which should appeal to all Southerners and North Carolinians in particular. We hope she will soon give us another specimen of her talent. The Oxford Tobacco Board of Trade has unanimously endorsed A. Osterloh, of Richmond, Va., for one of the commissioners to the Paris ex position. A petition to President McKinley asking his appointment is being largely signed by farmers and business men. Prof. Jerome Horner received a telegram Sunday afternoon inform ing him of the sudden death of his father-in-law, Mr. G. W. Williams, of Wilmington, and left on next train to attend the funeral. For many years Mr. Williams from a promi nent business man of that city, but bis health gave way about two years ago and was forced to retire. And the people of Oxford and Granville county are to be afflicted with the Kilgo-Clark controversy, which we regret very much. Rev. T. J. Gattis, of Durham, who hap pened to be sent to Granville circuit and hardly settled has had summons issued from our Superior court in a suit instituted by him against Dr. J. C. Kilgo, President of Trinity Col lege, Ben. N. Duke, W. H. Branson and W. R. Odell. The action is for slander claimed to be the outgrowth of the deplorable controversy be tween Dr. Kilgo and Judge Clark, and "now Rey. Gattis has transferred it to Granville. The Durham Recorder, the old est paper in the State, being estab lished in 1820 at Hillsboro, now run by our old friend Ed Hackney, come out last Thursday in a nicely Ulus tratcd 10-page edition, filled with write-ups of the progessive business men of the Bull City, along with a number of the prominent leaders in Durham's prosperity. Mr. Hackney was ably and efficiently aided in get ting up the mammoth edition by our old friend and county man, Capt. J B. Hunter, who is a fluent writer and a splendid canvasser. We congratu- late both gentlemen upon the success of the edition, but Brother Doub's 64 page edition of the Charlotte News walks gracefully oft with the cake. Mr. J. T. Sizemore is to en large his store on College street. The oiling of the ceiling of the new Episcopal church has been com pleted. The new fences around the new Methodist parsonage have been com pleted. Read in another column sale of valuable town property under mort gage on Monday, 6th day of March. It is the easiest thing in the world to criticise the faults of others. but the most difficult to discoyer our own. More tobacco and better tobacco . - i - i ji v r i is being sold daily on me uxiora market at the highest possible aver ages. If vou owe the Public Ledger we would be glad to have you settle up as we need the "coid, hard stutt" in our business. Call a halt and stop borrowing vour neighbor's Public Ledger, and subscribe yourself, as you have read the paper long enough tor nothing. BishoD Horner, who is visiting his family, preached Sunday mom intr at St. SteDhen's church to the joy and edification of the large con gregation. Notice is hereby given that ap plication will be made to the Gener al Assembly of North Carolina to amend the Charter of the Oxford and Coast Line Railroad. 4t It strikes us very forcibly that it would be a good thing for Oxford to have telephone connection with the copper mines and Virgilina from a purely business standpoint. Rev. R. B. Owens and Prof. J. C. Horner are interesting themselves in a Sunday school at Penny Hill. Hope they will succeed in building up a fine school in that section. Breaks continue large on the Oxford market, and farmers always receive the tip top cream prices for all grades. The Bank of Granville always has plenty of money and the officials love to pay it out to our industrious farmers. A State Bar Association will be formed in Raleigh on Feb. 20ch. Among the large number lawyers in the State we notice that the Oxford bar is well represented by Ex-Judge A. W. Graham, Senator A. A. Hicks and Gen. B. S. Royster. How many of us resolve to do some particularly good or noble act "when we get time ?" We rush on from day to day promising ourselves the fulfillment oi honest intention, yet the time slips by and we never seem to find that opportunity for good that is always jus.t a wee bit ahead of us in the future. The E. H. Crenshaw Companj of our town was incorporated last week by the Secretary of State. The capital stock is placed at $12,000. The company wili do a wholesale and retail mercantile business. The in corporators are R. S. Barbour, E. H. Crenshaw aud W. W. Crenshaw. See notice of incorporation in an other column. The Oxford Public Ledger is eleven years old and has entered on its twelfth yolume. Editor Britt is a hustler for his town and county, gets up a splendid weekly and de serves the warm and liberal support of public spirited citizens of Gran ville. He has the Telegrams best wishes for increased success and prosperity. Greensboro Telegram. The Oxford - Public Ledger, this week, begins the twelfth year of its publication. It is one of the best weeklies in the State and has done as much hard work for its town and county as any paper you will find in the boarders of the State. We con gratulate brother J. T. Britt and hope he will round out another twelve years with great success. Durham Sun. We rise to ask if our County Commissioner are bound and com pelled to furnish Starvation Billie Royster with quarters over the jail to hold meeting, magistrate trials, etc? Can it be possible that a deal has been nfkde to divide the jail pie with the defunct negro boss of old Granville ? We ask the County au thorities to investigate the matter, as Starvation Bill Royster has been a ward on the taxpayers long enough. Let all classes of our citizens unite and use their best efforts to in crease the trade of Oxford. The com pletion of the Oxford & Coast Line Railroad would be worth from twen ty to fifty thousand dollars a year to the town, and the proposed new road to the fine copper fields would be worth as much more. The Public Ledger can be counted on to aid in every possible way to push Oxford forward even if it is not patronized by a majority of the business men of the town. The editor spent Friday and Sat urday in Washington City, and had the pleasure of meeting our able and distinguished Representative, Hon. W. W. Kitchin, at his post of duty. He is looking well and is quite hap py at the handsome majority given him by the true white men of the dis trict oyer Adams. He spoke in much praise of Granville county Demo crats and all those who joined in the grand and triumphant fight for white supremacy. The people of this dis trict will always find in Mr. Kitchin a faithful watcher after every inter est of a constituency he loves so well, and it is a pleasure to him to be able toserve them from the humblest to the greatest. We of course met our much esteemed friend, R. L. Bobbitt, and found him snd his interesting chil dren bright and happy. The rich iron man of Pennsylva nia, Carnegie, giving $250,000 for a Washington City library carries the moral that in making a big collection of books a good one to start with is a check book. Neither of the three commission ers of Robinson county uses intoxi cating liquor or tobacco in any form. We venture the assertion that no other county in the State can equal this showing. In religion Chairman Shaw is a Presbyterian, Commis sioner John a Methodist, and Com missioner Leggett we are told a Baptist. Each has made a success in his private business and the man ner in which they have taken hold of the affairs of the county -indicates that they will be faithful and con scientious guardians of thevmoney of the people. What they have done so far has been well done. Lumber ton Robesohian. The Raleigh papers announced Wednesday that Senator Putchard proved true to his friend, Capt. A. S. Peace, who for the sake of pie de serted the true Populist party and went over to the negro party and helped to elect Pritchard Senator and had appointed Mrs. Peace postmas ter at Oxford. We say frankly that if Pritchard had searched Oxford township or Granville county over he could not have found a more un popular man to enjoy the benefits of the office than Capt. A. S. Peace, but at the same time he most assur edly deserysd a fitting reward at the hands of Senator Pritchard. Won der what the old time Reps think of the appointment? The question now arises why did Rev. T. J. Gattis commence to bring suit against a brother minister and others for slander in Granville Su perior court before he become a bona fide citizen of the county ? If Dr Kilgo said he told an untruth, and Rev. Gattis said "you are an other," why did he not sue Dr. Kilgo in Durham county, which would have Deen more brotherly, instead of pu1 ling the Doctor over to Granville ? What is the church coming too when a minister sues another for slander ? Can the people have the confidence in them they should have as ambassadors of Christ and lead sinners to forsake their sins ? We emphatically say no, and regret the proceedings. BOYS IN THEIR GLORY. A Host Enjoyable German Given by Horner Cadets. The manly Cadets of the splendid Horner Military School on Friday night were in their glory, as they participated in one of the most en joyable Germans ever given at the school. Graceful and charming young ladies and handsome Cadets along with quite a number of town young men tripped "the light fantastic toe," to the strains of sweet music. The German was led by Lieut. Albert Clifton, assisted by Cadet Penning ton The following were the couples: Miss Charlotte Britt with Lieut. Albert Clifton, Miss Nellie Currin with Cadet Farrar, Miss Mary Ferebee with Frank P.

Stanley, who lives near Green's station, on the O. & C, road was out hunting turkeys a few days ago, and he will long remember that hunt. He had a muzzle loadincr. double-barrel shot gun, and had fired one barrel. In reloading the empty harrel the other one fired. The load took effect in his right hand, strik ing in near the ball ot the thumb and tore out the bones and flesh nearlv - - across the entire hand. The shat tered bones were picked out and the wound was dressed by a physician in that neighborhood. It is thought he will have little use of that hand when it recovers. Durham Suu. Catarrb Cannot be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATION, as they cannot reach tne seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years, and is a regular prescription. It is com posed of the best tonics known, combined with the oest blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two ingredients is what produces such won derful results in curing Catarrh. Send for testi monals, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO.. Props., Toledo, O.

Miss Elizabeth Hilliard, who has been in Baltimore for the past five months, will return to Oxford on Thursday, February 2, and resume the charge of her music class at the Francis Hilliard School, which du ring her absence has been in thn very efficient hands of Miss Edith L. Gilbert, of New York. During her stay in Baltimore Miss Hilliard has been intimately associated with some of the foremost musical educa tors of the country, and she has given her best efforts to assimilating their ideas in order to give them in the best possible form to her pupils. On the piano her teacher nas been Emanuel Wad, a favorite pupil of Leschitzky, the world famous teacher of Paderewsky, Zeisler and Rosen thal. Her instructor in harmony has been Miss Elizabeth Starr, who since Sir Asger Hamerieh left Bal timore in 1897,has stood at the head of her profession in that city. Be sides careful work in piano and har mony Miss Hilliard has been taking a course in the Galin-Paris Chere method of sight reading, which is now considered both in this country and Europe to be the most success ful system of studying salfeggio.

Any person not otherwise con nected with the school, who may wish to study these methods, will be very gladly received. Miss Hilliard will also resume her classes in elocu tion. In connection with her mu sical study she has missed no op portunity of hearing the best music in opera, concert, recital, or however offered with the idea of gathering suggestions that might be of use in her classes. Those who have known Miss Hilliard as an earnest, faithful and effective teacher in the past feel sure that after the advantages she has enjoyed this winter her work wili be doubly effective in the fu ture.

This well-known merchant at Berea died suddenly on Thursday last at his home with heart disease, of which he had been afflicted for some months.

He enjoyed the confidence and es teem of the people of his section, and will be missed by them.
