Naturally where the bicycle is ridden with healthful results it means a turn for the better. The Stevens anti-trust bill be came a law and it is said it will not amount to much.

They Will Come and Go All the Same. Mr. Luther Starks, of Danville, was in Oxford the past week. Mr. Foster Rogers, of Goldsboro, was on a visit to Oxford Friday. Miss Mary Ferebee returned some days ago from a visit to Nor folk. Dr. R. T. Gregory, of Charlotte, was on our streets Saturday after noon. Prof. F. P. Hobgood, Sr. re turned from a visit to Raleigh Fri day. Mr. Ruffin Holmes, of Brassfiold township, was an Oxford visitor Monday. Mr. Thos. Fleming, of Creedmoor, spent a few hours in town Saturday and honored us with a visit. Oar friend, W. P. Lyon, of Wil ton, como in on the waye of mud Monday, and called to the old man of this print shop. Our young friend, Z. H. Clayton, of Morian, Person county, was on our breaks Tuesday and visited the " Democratic Rattletrap " office. Misses Carrie Skinner and An nie Booth, two of oar popular young ladies, are reported convalescent from severe attacks of the grippe. Ex-Judge Graham and Mr. R. W. Lassiter returned Saturday from a 10 days stay in Boston in the interest of the fine producing copper mines of Northern Grauviiie. Messrs W. F. Byrd, of Wake county, was in Oxford Monday and had the pleasure of seeing Sam Fleming sworn in as Sheriff. The editor had tho pleasure ot meeting him in his office. Two of Dutchville's enterprising young farmers, Messrs H. G. Aikin and Augus.us Fleming took in the large break ot tobacco Tuesday, and the editor was greatly pleased to meet them in his office. Satterwbite Sayings. Mr. J. H. Evans we are glad to say continues to improve. Mr. Pete Thorp, ot Oak Hill, drop ped in to see P. M. last Saturday and spent a short while. Mr. 11. A. Adcock and family paid his mother, Mrs. A. B. Adcock, a visit Saturday and Sunday. The sun has begun to shine and we are in hopes of doing like the iiz zards soon, crawl out and ifhed off our old hull. The old wheeihorse, S. R. Puckett, has burned all his plant beds zind is working a tune on his farm rain or shine. The public roads from this place to Oxford is so rough arid muddy that some teams can hardij' pull au empty wagon oyer them. On last Saturday night between 2 and 4 o'clock we hsd a terrible wind and rainstorm, and our house shook as if it had boen an earthquake. Messrs. J. G. Shotwell and our old brother Alf Hobgood are stiil on the fcout looking for the weed, and wc.ro in our packhouse ono day last week. We sold Shotwell one load and hope he come out ahead on the load. Here it is 4th of March and the weather is so bad and rough we are bound to say the farmers of this sec tion are farther behind than we have ever seen before; don't think one tenth of the farmers have burnt any plant beds up to this time. Will say to the warehouseman of Oxford from what we can find out, the bulk of the tobacco in this terri tory has been marketed, and what little we have got left we want to sell that, but the roads are so rough we cannot pull it through the rain and mud. Wonder if old, lean and lanky Cindy Jenkins has thawed out yet, as we would like to hear from the old back number one more time? That "saft chat" she give old Father Leopold some months ago must have been too mueh for her as she has not written sinco. And there is dear old Lackland, the staid old President of the Stem Bachelor's Club, with members all around him falling vic tims to the winsome smiles of lovely woman, is encased in steel and turns a deaf ear to cupid as well as the cry of the people for news from good old Stem. Goobers is badly stuck and too neryous to write, and Shoe Pegs is like the ground hog, saw the shad ow of departed joys and lit in his hole and pulled the hole in after him February 2nd a year ago so deep he has failed to reach th9 top of the ground so far a3 the correspon dents know. P. M. I have'been afflicted v.ith rheumatism for fourteen years and nothing seemed to give any relief. I was able to be around all the time, but constantly suffering. I had tried everything I could hear of and at last was told to try Chamderlain's Pain Balm, which I did, and was immediately relieved and in a short time cured. 1 am happy to say that it has not since returned.

The Board of County Commission ers met in Oxford Monday last and mueh interest centered around its proceedings as a Democratic Sheriff was to be inducted into office along with two commissioners. All the mem bers, Messrs. C. F Crews, Chairman, J. S. Royster and Jas. A. Bullock, were around the treble with Clerk John Mayes at his post to record the proceedings. As the Legislature had made pro visions through our fiue Representa tives for two additional commission ers in Granville, Messrs. L. H. Mo.-s, of Brassfield, and William H. Waller, of Datehviile, having been selected were present and took the oath of office as commissioners, makiug tne number five. They are two of our prominent farmers and have the en tire confidence of the people and will serve the taxpayers faithfully and well. Mr. Moss was defeated at the late election by Ms jar J. A. Bullock, one of the best Republicans in the coun ty,and we are greatly pleased to have him in office any how. As the board now stands we do not think that any county in the State has a better Board of Commissioners than old Granville. The first thing before the Board was to pull the leg of the County Treasurer for a special allowance of $2 for John Parham who was in need of assistance. C W. Cox was exempted from pay ing polltax on account of physical disabilities. The old welKoiled rebate mill did not fail to run and several people were allowed to list their taxes. Mrs. Martha Jenkins was placed on the outside pauper list at $1 per month. Commissioner Waller was appoint ed a committee to look after the damages by fire to W.Y. Jones' land which occurred from the carelessness of the woik house force. The pauper list continues to in crease at each meeting ani Timothy Floyd, Sam Loftis and Esther Byrd were placed on the outside pauper list. At this juncture of the proceed ings Sheriff S. A. Fleming and his counsel, Ex Judge A. W. Graham, walked into the room and presented his several bonds as sheriff. County Attornoj' B. S. Toyster was present and after examining them b&id they were all right and iu due form, and they were promptly accepted by the Board. The affable Clerk of the Court, Dr. Graham Hunt, was sent for and administered the oath of office to Mr. Fleminer, and to the pleasure of many Democrats who had assembled to witness the induct ing into office of a Democrat Sheriff. There happen to be piesent three Rep-Pops, and nine colored Repub licans who witnessed the ceremony with long faces, but like the Irish" man "had to grin and bear it." We can say in the retirement of Mr. J. T. Cczirt, who has been the real sheriff of Granville for four years, that as an officer he has made one of the most efficient that the county has had for years, as he has proved to be a most excellent tax collector. Commissioner Moss was appointed a committee to look after repairing Cannady's Bridge as it had been con deemed as unsafe. Commissioner Waller was appoin ted a committee to have the bridge over Ledge of Rock creek repaired; also to see after the building of the bridge over Holman creek on road from Hester leading to Stem. The following jurors were drawn for April term of Granville Superior Court: First Week W. Z. Mitchell, B. F. Tingen.S. H. Harris, W. D. Fuller, J. A. Belcher, C. G. Peed, J. Y. Whitaker, J. L.

The readers of this paper will pe pleased to learn that there is at last one dreaded disease that science has beena ble to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitu tional treatmet. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting birectly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in do ing its work.

The bill providing an election law for counties and towns provides for a voting place in each ward, and where there are no wards as manv polling places as necessary mav be established. A new registration may be ordered, but if there has been a recent registration, an elec tion shall be held under it. Thirty days notice of new registration is re quired. O ie person shall be regis trar at eacn polling place, the names of such registrars to be published. Th period of registration is ten days, from sunrise to sunset. On the Saturday befor3 the election the registration books shall be open for inspection and challenge, and if fraud is found the name shall be erased. There will be two judges of election, of different political parties, at each polling place, and these must be able to read and write. No per son qualified to yote for members of the Legislature shall vote at such election. Persons registering must giye the location of the house in which they live. There will be no registration election day, but chal lenging is allowed on that day. Tickets are to be on white paper, oi the same size and without device. The board of canvassers will canvass and judieally pass on votes. The bill appropiiating $5,000 to the fund for the erection of a monu ment to the memory of the late Zabulon B. Vance, to be placed, in the Capitol Square, is now a law. The Honse passed the bill, which the Senate had favorably acted" upon somi days ago. The passage of the appropriation was made the occasion for a number of eloquent speeches. The Senate passed the insurance bill; also, bills abolishing county boards of education and supervisors; to give the -Board of Internal Im provements power over the Atlantic and North Carolina railway where Fusion directors refuse to retire, and to consolidate the four negro Nor mal schools so as to haye them at Greensboro and Goldsboro. Henry B. Stevens was elected Judge of the newly-created Western Criminal Circuit, and both houses passed a bill creating the new East ern Criminal Cir -it, composed of Mecklenburg, Ciav. n, Warren, New Hanover, Nash, Edgecombe; Hali fax, Robeson, Cumberland and Wil fion counties. The House did nobly by the public school of the State. Mr. Holman's bill appropriating $100,000 to the public schools passed almost unan imously. Ti n appropriation is au annual one. The money shall be distributed to the counties of the State per capita as to school popu'ation on the first Monday in January of each year, using the school census of the previous scholastic year as a basis of apportionment. Neither was the State University or the State Normal and Industrial College overlooked. The University was given $7,500 for the establish ment of a sewerage system. An ap propriation of $5,000 was voted the State Normal and Industrial College for a gymnasium and additions to the college library. Mr. Foushee, of Durham, intro duced a bill for the support of the penitentiary for the next two years. The sum of $50,000, is appropriated for the maintainance and support of the State prison for each of the years 1899 and 1900 to be paid by the State Treasurer upon the order of E. F. Travis, W. H. Oiborne and W. C. Newland or any two of them or in case of their inability to act, upon the written order of any three of the Directors designated by the Board of Directors thereof. The House passed a strong bill directing-the Railway Commission to p.ssess all railways, telegraph, tele phone, express, canal, steamboat, sleeping-car, or other similar com panies which have omitted, or which in future shall omit, to return for taxation its property, and directing this assessment to bo for all years for which such property shall have seappd taxation not exceeding five years prior to the current year, and imposing 25 per cent penalty for each of said years. Blind ex-Confederate soldiers were allowed $100 annually. Tho revenue act was amended so as to strike out the sections giving title to land sold for taxes. It was stated that a north ra syndicate working through "court-house rings" had secured in this way titles to large tracts of land, but had procured the insertion of a special section in the revenue act of 1897, and also suc ceeded in getting one placed in the act now under consideration. These are the sections striken out. Tho Senate tabled the House bill to establish the Vance textile school is a department of the Agricultural and Me -haoical College at Raleigh. The bill to give the State courts fuil po wer of injunctive relief against foreign corporations passed, as did the bill to provide that in case of loath 01 resignations of judges the Governor's appointees to the vacan cies shall hold only until the next election. The Legh-'ature adjourned Wed nesday to m-. et in 1900. James VV. Wilson and S.
