KRONHEIMER, Granville's Clothier. l mm FEBRUARY PARAGRAPHS. SHORT-STOPS IN THE LOCAL LINE Gathered and Condensed for the Eye of the Reader. The snow in Oxford was about G inches deep Saturday. It was the deepest we haye had in several win ter. Roller skating rink is now on in Oxford, and you can enjoy the fun by going to the Farmers Warehouse at night. Supt. Shepard of the Colored Orphan Asylum, killed another lot of fine hogs a few days ago, and the largest one weighed 436 pounds. Mrs. J. A. Renn has purchased from Mr. Filmore Adcock the house and lot on High street, near Rev. R. I. Devin, and has moved thereto. Mrs. A. A. Hicks and Dr. and Mrs. T. L. Booth runout their long housed up sleighs Saturday afternoon and glided swiftly over the "beauti ful snow." Mrs. Mary C. Cannady and Miss Katherine Hillard and Mrs. N. B. Cannady, who have been suffering with the grippe for some days, we are pleased to learn, are improving. We give up some of our space this week to the most excellent road load that will pass the Legislature, which will prove a blessing to our county. Representative Lyon is on the committee and assisted in frams iog the law. Mr. R. L. Meadows, of Oxford and Miss Addie Bowden, of Tar River, were quietly married Satur day afternoon at the Exchange Hotel by Squire S. V. Ellis. The marriage was quite a surprise to their many friends in town and county. Dr. I. H. Davis, and Messrs. Hillman Cannady, J. S. Hunt and W. E. Massenburg, four of our en terprising young gentlemen, haye leased the Opera House, and in fu ture will guarantee the best shows and a warm clean house. It will still be under the supervision of Chief Day. Durham Sun of Friday says that Rev. T. J. Gattis, of Hester, was in the city this morning. In conversa tion with a Sun reporter, he said that he and his family were pretty well pleased with their new home. He has gone into the chicken raising business, having bought about 100 hens and fixed up suitable poultry quarters. The attractive and prepossessing young ladies and gentlemen who love to visit and live on "Smith Hill" enjoyed a most delightful can dy stew on Friday night. Taffy was the principle feature of the evening, which was interpersed by games and dancing. The vacant residence of Mr. Luther Stark was the scene of the pleasant event. John T. Britt's Public Ledger, of Oxford, has entered upon its 12th volume. The Public Ledger is one of the very best weeklies in the State and if Oxford does not give the paper better support in the way of adver tising it is, because they do not know a good thing when they see it. As it is Mr. Britt could make more money with his paper in some other town. Durham Herald. The more a garment is worn the sooner it gets in bad condition. It is so with our roads. Years ago, when there was but little travel, our roads were not so bad, but now the country is getting thickly settled, travel is increased and roads get al most impassable unless they are kept worked. What shall we do about the roads 1 Many overseers are sub ject to indictment. Shall we enforce the law? At least fix them up so as to indicate that they have some bot torn. Mr. Farewell Ripley, who was at one time a cadet at Horner School, was found dead one day the past week in his room at the Bran son House, Ualeierh. It is thought be committed suicide by the use of cocaine. He was irom Buffalo, N. Y., and an intelligent young man. At one session of the Horner school bore off the orators medal. He was a student at Wake Forest College at the time of his death. While in Ox ford he made many friends who re gret to learn of his sad end. Be on the alert reader if you are in search of real bargains in the clothing line as the hustling clothing man, B. F. Kronheimer, is advertis ing a real bonifide clearance sale in this issue of Public Ledger. Now is the golden opportunity to pick up nice, substantial wears at cost, as the firm wishes to make room for a change in business, and we advise you at once to take advantage of the clearance sale to supply yourself with what you need in the choic9 stock sold by Mr. Kronheimer. The Oxford Public Ledger has entered upon the twelfth year of its existence a career of usefulness and we trust of prosperity as well. It certainly deserves it. It is one of the best weekly papers in the State, odited with vigor and sprightliness and merits a liberal and appreciative support. Editor John T. Britt is an industrious and indefatigable worker for his town and county, and his De mocracy is of the straightest sort. What higher praise can be spoken of a local paper ?

Mr. Jesse Williford, of Berea, killed a pig a few days ago that weighed 340 pounds. Dr. Nowisky is on hand at this term of the court with his usual flow of wit and humor. The reader is asked to read the change in the advertisement of J. G. Hall, the old reliable druggist. The formation of a bridge trust would indicate that these things hav ing occupied all the land are now trying to get over the water. It isn't hard to guess that a mas" culine pen wrote these words: "A man is quiet when he is dead; a wo man is dead when she is quiet." The man who knows he makes mistakes, but will never acknowledge them, is going.to have a lot of un necessary suffering in his career. Mr. W. S. Lyon, of Berea, we are sorry to learn, fell down stairs Tuesday at his home and hurt him self very badly. At last accounts he was resting easy. Messrs. J. T. Booth, of Stem, Pete Pruitt and A. H. Owen, of near Ox. ford, S. V. Morton, of Satterwhite, and W. W. Hart, of Oak Hill, called to see the editor Wednesday. We can say for once, hurrah for Senator Butler ! He succeeded after a long fight in securing an unfavor able report on Judge Ewart nomina tion as Judge of the Western dis trict. General Eagan, commissary gen eral, has been found guilty of the charges of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, and sent enced to dismissal from the United States army. Secretary of War Al ger should also receive the grand bounce. The great wind trust formed 4years ago in North Carolina by "Me own sweet Maryann" Butler between the Pops and Reps for pie stands now as limp as a rag, while the people re joice that the wind has been knocked out of the sails of one negro trust that hroncht diserrace UDon the srood old State. A few of the small gas pipes, negroes and whites, are sun small pebbles on the pie counter beach. The State is just beginning to find out where it is "at ' unaerrusion rule chirps the Durham Sun. Take the penitentiary, for example, load ed down with debt and reeking with rotteness, Where would we have hoon if wo had had two more vears of such management ? It looks to us . , I 1 o as it those who are responsiDie tor this state of affairs should be sent back to the penitentiary not as managers, but as inmates, to suffer punishment for abusing the trust committed to them. Just as predicted, the Legisla ture has promptly taken entire and full control of the penitentiary which has been a stench in the nostrils of decent people since Criminal Par doner Russell took charge. It is now the State's prison and vile mouth Dan is not in it, and Capt. Bill Day, the wishy-washy politician, is ousted. The mere fact of an appointment bv Russell is enough in the eyes of the Legislature. The Democrats in it look at the matter from that point of view. They want to get as far from Russell as possible. The Sheriff's' case, Fleming vs. Cozart, was taken up Wednesday morning after the completion of the State docket. Coronor Alf Hobgood was sworn in as officer of the court and assumed his duties during the trial of this case. After some little time a jury was secured as follows: ft. T. Critcher, J. B. Ellis, J. W. Whitfield, W. P. Slaughter, J. E Cawhron, D. W. Fowler, G. R. Nel son, S. H. Dillard, J. W. Chandler, S. H. Satterwhite, E. T. White, E. K. Howard. It is supposed that it will be on for several days. The midwinter Concert at the Francis Hilliard School took place Fridav nierht. and erreatlv enioved by a large and appreciative audi ence. The instrumental music by Misses Julia Usry, Fanny Webb, Laura Williams, Grace Clement and Mary Shotwell were exceedingly well rendered, showing that they had acquired great skill in the mani pulation of the keys. The songs by Misses Mary Buxton and Annie De LaCroix convinced the appreciative audience that they were the nappy possessors of sweet voices. The choruses by the whole school were also well rendered. Miss Gilbert,the most highly accomplished singer and music teacher, rendered "Spring time" to the joy of the audience. We are indeed sorry that she will leave us, as she has made many friends in Oxford, and we believe it would redown to the best interest of the school if she could be induced to remain. Dangers of the Grip. The greatest danger from LaGrippe is of its resulting in pneumonia. If reason able care is used, however, and Chamber lain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousand who have used this remedy for la grippe we have yet to leirn of a single eise having resulted in pneumonia which shows conclusively that this remedy Is a certain preventive of that dangerous dis ease. It will cure la grippe in less time than any other treatment. It Is pleasant ind safe to take. For sale by J. G. Hall, Druggist To Cure Constipation Forever.

On last Thursday the most tragic event that ever occurred in the Su preme Court room took plrcce when ex-Attorney General Garland arose to address the court, and had just fairly begun his argument, when he threw up his hands, reeled, and feel heavily to the floor. He was quickly conveyed across the hall into the Attorney General's office, and Sena tor Gallinger, who is a physician, did what he could for him. But the stroke of apoplexy was fatal and in ten minutes he was dead. He was a most extraordinary man, and his legal ability was profound. Called from his second senatorial term into the first Cabinet of Cleveland he did his whole duty and achieved national honor and respect. When Cleveland entered upon his second term of cowardice and duplicity and treason to his party he would have none him, and continued the practice of law, which he so loyed. He will be car ried back to Arkansas, and buried by his wife who died some twenty years ago. The speech of the session was made several days ago by J. Hamilton Lewis, of Washington State. The way he scored the mismanagement of the war and the presumed policy of the administration made things fairly sizzle, and the thermometer ran up many degrees on the Repub lican side. Mr. Grosyenor is consid ered the champion on that side, and often feels it his duty to score the Democrats, and on a recent occason had poked fun at Mr. Lewis. Now Mr. Lewis is a master of satire and withal so snave and polished that the barb of his wit sinks deep and rankles with unbearable irritation. Any way he gave General Grosvenor the severest castigation he has had in many a day and he will probably wait many days ere he seeks a like encounter. . The era of extravagance and pro fligacy is fairly on and nearly every day bring out some new bill to loot the Treasury. One of the recent ones is by Senator Hale to pay the sailors who served in the recent war two month's extra pay. If anybody opposes one of these bills he has the cry of being a Spanish sympathizer thrown at him and is told he is a crank and unpatriotic. Now the sentiment of this is very good, but there is a point at which all these things should stop. The American sailor and soldier is the best provid ed for by law of any in the world. While his pay may be only fifteen or twenty dollars per month, yet he has food, clothing, and practically, every thing furnished him, and really has no necessity for money. Besides he often saves several dollars per month by saving up his rations and clothes to which he is entitled, but which he does not need. These men have fared well, and went into the war with their eyes open. They are en titled to what was promised, and no more. It is poor policy to burden the people with heavy taxation and give it in military and naval bonuses. The working people in this country are in hard straits, and the agricul tural classes as a rule know that Me Kinley prosperity has not helped them, save on a shortage of wheat. On the contrary cotton and tobacco and such things are lower than ever before, while things they have to buy have been increased by the war tariff. Some day they will get their eyes open, but it will be too late then, for the Treasury will be looted and the money in the hands of a few, and they will find they are slaves in deed. Another bill now pending is an in crease of the Army to 100,000 men. This will take, on a fair estimate, $105,000,000, to pay and feed and transport them per year. Think of this immense amount ! It is more than England or France expends on their armies, and will practically make us a military despotism. Think of the power the President will have as the head of such a force, and the prestige it will give him ap pointing so many officers and men ! Just as the pension and old-soldier racket has kept the party in power since the war, so this new policy perpetuate them in power for years, and it is so intended. Expansion with the Republican Party means expanding the oppor tunities for extravagance with the people's money, expanding the taxes, expanding the purses of corporations so they can draw on them to debauch a national election, and expanding territory so they can expand the number of partisan office holders And this all means a contraction of the welfare of the great body of American people. An arrangement has been reached in the Senate, by which the Treaty will be voted upon on Feb. 6. It is the general opinion that it will pass, notwithstanding the opposition of many determined Senators of both parties. The advocates are using the party lash for all it is worth and will probably reach the end. Senator Morgan, after years of persistent labor and bulldog courage has finally had the Nicaraguan bill passed by the Senate. This provides cor the cutting of. a canal across Nicargua, between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. No one can estimate what this will be worth to the United States. Where ships now have to sail around the end of South America, they could cut across there, and save days in time and thousands in dollars. In time of war. and under our control, we could rush our ships through and have every advantage over a foreign foe. It means to us what the Suez Canal meant to England, and will give us greater power on the Western Coa tment than the Suez did to England in Asia and Africa. Senator Butler, as usual, has again made a lurid ass of himself. Some time ago he introduced a bill to pro vide tor admitting Confederate sol diers into the Homes for Federal soldiers. Finding this was desired by neither side, and smarting under the criticisms it provoked both South and North, he got up in the Senate and tried to nght the war over again. He tried to defend the Confederate cause which no true Southerner thinks needs defense. Every Con federate fought for what he believed and knew to be right, and when they were deteated, they accepted the re suit and adopted the changed con ditions. For years they suffered in silence the badinage and abuse and persecution the followers of a de feated cause always have to undergo. But the last war demonstrated their worth and loyalty and that section alism is dead. But Butler, hoping to gain a little notority and a por tion of the power which the last elec tion in North Carolina took from him, adopts this method to reinstate himself, and deservedly gained the contempt of the country. He and Wellington, ot Maryland, make a pair of asses, which would have made even Balaam's ass tired, and hang his head in shame. Another bill before Congress to help along corporations and loot the Treasury is the one to pay ocean vessels a subsidy for carrying Ameri" can goods. These companies say they can not build ships and carry freight in competition with foreign ers. So they wish Uncle Sam to tax the people to pay them about the rate that railroads charge for freight and they also add what they can col lect as regular charges on the same. Inasmuch as water freight is very much cheaper than by rail, one can readily see what a good thing it would be. We have a lot of new Senators elected, nearly all Republicans, and deadlocks in several States pending. The charges of bribery and corrup tion are simply nauseating. In Penn sylvania, Quay, the boss of many years, is fighting for re-election, with little chance of winning, unless by fraud and bribery. He has been in power so loDg it will be hard to dislodge him, and he has every re source at his back. Nothing downs a Democratic leader so quickly as the cry of bossism raised against him, bnt the Republican Party are will ing to blindly trust their leaders, and obey their bosses without question or ca vil. ) STOCK OF GOODS AT AUCTION.

Every body rushed out of their residence and places of business, and seized the hook and ladder truck and fire engine and started for Horner Hights as the old Historic Horner school building was in flames. It was oc cupied by Mr. J. B. Parham and family, and the fire had gained such a heaaway that it was impossible to save it. The crowd succeeded in say ing nearly all the furniture of Mr. Parham.
