Conscience is our private secre tary. Why is it all the widowers get married and the bachelors get left? A "gentleman about town" is oue who pays cash for everything except his debts. Sparks' Show, which has won the reputation of being the best on of the kind on the road, was in Ox ford yesterday, and greatly pleased those who attended. Reflection connects our blessings with Christ. Did we trace our good to its source, our gratitude would increase. An Arkansas law imposes a fine on hat trimmings formed of wings oi heads of birds. This gives an other meaning to the saying about fine feathers and fine birds. The proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Masons jut completed at the Orphan As lum Printing Office is an exceedingly neat job, and the book is now in the hands of the binder. We cannot measure love with an abstraction, but with a materializa tion. You say that you loye God and your fellow man. To prove your statement show us some con crete form of this love. President Alderman, the distin guished educator and President of the State University, will delivered a lecture at the Auditorium of the Horner School this Thursday even ing. The public is cordially invited to attend. In the case of Day, Superintendent of the Pententiary, the Supreme Court decided to render a political decision of Republican type in Day's favor. That old line black Repub lican, Judge Furches, wrote the de cision. Judges Douglas, Faircloth and Montgomery, the other Repub lican members concurring, with Judge Clark dissenting. A gentleman, of Troy, N. Y.t who has been in the collar and cuff business for 23 years is on a visit to Oxford. He thinks of establishing a factory in Oxford, and hope our business men will extend to him en couragement as our town is greatly in need of manufacturing enter prises. Mr. Will X. Coley and the ac complished music teacher, Miss Eva Minor, will start out April 19th with a splendid singing class of the Ox ford Orphan Asylum and will give a concert that night at Henderson. We trust the people of that wide awake town will give the beautiful singers a crowded house. Mary Elizabeth Lease in her address on Spiritualism in New York said: "It is a great comfort to think the man who has been reward ed for feeding embalmed and poison ed beef to the army will be kept eat ing embalmed beef in the great hereafter." If Madam Lease's occult powers are correct, this is Hades with a vengeance! The Asheville Citizen learns that Gen. Johnstone Jones, formerly of Asheville and now ot Los Angeles, Cal., is now a Republican and is filliner the oflice ot United btates district attorney. Jones was a Dem ocrat when he lived in NorthCarolina. He represented Buncombe county in the Legislature and also filled the office of adjutant general of the State Guard. Elkin correspondent Charlotte Observer: Rev. W. R. Bradshaw, the gifted young pastor of the Bap tist church here, perhaps did the hardest dav's work in his life on Sunday. He married two couples in the morning, rode 10 miles and preached an Easter sermon, went three miles further and married an other couple, and then preached an other sermon Sunday night. But he is equal to every emergency. The Eastern hospital at Golds boro for the insane negroes is an other monument of democratic charity and good will for the negro race. It is a real expression of gen erosity ani philanthrophy. Dr. J. F. Miller is a Christian gentleman "beloved Luke," who is in charge, and this is a eruaiantee of kindness, mercy, sympathy and good works as well as medical skill and patience. Wilmington Messenger. On Monday night at a meeting of the Granville Grays in their Armory Ex-Capt. Willie Landis was re-elected Captain of the Company and Ex-Captain S. W. Minor chosen First Lieutenant. It is to bo hoped that the Company wiU now put on new enegy as it has almost become defunct since Capt. Wade H. Britt ceased to command the Company The business meeting was presided over by Sergeant Ben W. Brown and Ex-Lieut. Kobt. Elliott acted as Secretary. Al Daniel tel's us a story which will bear repetition. A few days ago a negro man and bis little boy, the sole occupants of an ox cart, stopped in front of the door of a tobacco warehouse in town interested lookers on at the sal s. "Who cries tobacco, pa!" asked the boy of his father. "I don't know, sou, but I know who cries after he sells his tobacco," came the qniek reply from the older decendant of Ham, all unconscious that he had perpetrated a joke judging from the innocent look he wpre. Homlerson Gold Leaf. OXFORD, N. Our enterprising wholesale gro cer, Mr. J. F. White, has a new dray. The breaks of tobacco are now quite light and the boys are taking it easy. The E. H. Crenshaw Co. is building a guano storage house at the depot. Did you say that winter was lin gering in the lap of Springs' The cold winds forcibly answer the query. A nice lot of new spring styles in jewelry, silverware, watches, etc., just received at Lynch's Jewelry store. You might be interested, so we ask you to read sale of land by F. W. Hancock, Trustee, in another column. Mr. Louis de Lacroix has nearly completed an addition of four rooms to his residence with all modern im provements. The Horner Cadets gave a most delightful german on last Friday night which was pronounced one of the must enjoyable for many sessions. Mr. H. M. Shaw is beautifying his residence on Rectory street. Mr. A. A. Bryan, the skillful painter, has it in hand and when he gets through it will present a handsome appear ance. We ask you to notice the change in the advertisement of Mr. C. H. Landis, the Hillsboro Street Hard ware man. He carries a complete stock and will sell you goods at the lowest possible prices. Our Deyil, who has early become a victim of cupid, was heard a few days ago repeating the following: I swear by the pale oil) of night, liy all the powers above, By the aneglic hosts on high That thee and thee I love. The editor was in error in stat ing that Mary Potter School had closed its term last week, because of the splendid concert given at the Opera House. The school is going right ahead, and is doing a good work among the colored children of Oxford. Our old and most highly esteem ed friend, Mr. W. H. Daniel, of Creedmoor, passed through Oxford Saturday returning from a visit to the bedside of his sick sister, Mrs. Stark near Salem, whom he found some better. Its was a pleasure to us to receive a visit from him. We earnestly hope that the new town administration will prove a progressive one, and espacially in one particular that of the strict en forcement of the vagrant law. Neai ly every town and city in the State has found it necessary, and have made the loafers expand their mucles on the streets. Superintendent Shepard, of the Colored Orphan Asylum, who is doing a fine work for the unfortunate of his race, is appealing to the people for aid through several of the State newspapers. The institution is in every way worthy of the confidence of the people and certainly deserves substantial aid. The Asylum is ad mirably conducted under the super vision of Rev. R. Shepard. Miss Dora Duty Jones, of Wash ington, D. C, delivered before the Oxford Shakespeare Club Tuesday eyening at the Francis Hiilird School her celebrated Illustrated Lecture on Art before a highly cul tivated audience. Miss Jones is one of the most highly cultivated ladies in the country, and it was indeed fortunate that our people were afforded the opportunity of hearing this gifted lady. We learn that the Chapel Hill people are speaking of nominating Prof. J. C. Biggs for Mayor. In our opinion they could not make a better choice as he is courteous, polite and firm. He had the honor of presiding over Oxford and mide a popular, efficient and faithful official, and our people deeply regretted to give him up when he resigned to make Chapel Hill his home. We look upon him as one of the brightest young men in the State. The Oxford Manufacturing Mills is coming right along to the front as the increased trade has forced the Messrs Pitchford to put in another corn stone. They are now turning out high grade meal, and say to housekeepers if they find a single bag of their meal not up to the standard return it and get another that will. Come to the front every body and stand by and sustain this enterprise that will use every possi ble means to please you.

Crews-Cutchin Nuptial. A pretty home marriage was cele brated in Suffolk on Wednesday evening, April 5, 1899, at the home of Mr and Mrs. B. F. Cutchin, on Main street, when their eldest daugh er, Lizzie F. plighted her troth to Mr. Eugene T. Crews, ol Oxford, N. C. Only relatives and a few intimate friends of the family witnessed the pretty ceremony, which was perform ed by Rev. W. T. Green, of the Main street Methodist chureh, assisted by Rev. W. W. Staley, D.

The display of Dridal pres ents was varied and handsome. Among the guests from a distance were Mrs. S. A. Dodd, of Ports mouth, and Miss Rosa Crews, of Ox ford, N. C, and daughter of the groom. Mr. and Mrs. Crews left at 9:17 o'clock for their future home in Ox ford. A large party of friends saw the party away at the depot, and extended many good wishes. The bride is a popular and attrac tive young lady, whose friends are many. The groom is a prominent tc bacconist of Oxford. --Suffolk Herald. We extend our warmest congratu lation to the happy couple, wishes them all the joys that lua can be stow. Resolutions of Respect. Death, the dreaded monster, has again visited our town and taken from us Mrs. Dudley Builock, one of our beloved members of the Mission ary and Aid societies of the Methodist church, thus leaving the home of our brother in sadness and gloom, therefore be it: Resolved 1. That we bow iu humble submission to the Great and Al wise Father who is too wise "too err, too good to be unkind," and pray God's sustaining grace may be given the husband and that the children may be trained for Heayen and immortal glory. Resolved 2. That we will miss her gentle face in our society gatherings, and remember that like Mary of old "She hath done what she could;" that we believe she is with her Sa vior in Paradise, and we will emulate her virtues and strive to follow her as she followed Christ Resolved 3. That a copy of these resolutions be entered upon our minutes, and one sent to the Public Ledger requesting its publication. Mrs. M. L. Hargrove, Mrs. E. T. White, Miss Lela Rotjton. Committee. Funeral of Mrs. Dudley Bullock. The funeral services over the re mains of this greatly beloved lady took place Friday morning last at 9 o'clock at her late home on Broad street conducted by Rev. M. H. Tuttle, assisted by Rev. II. II. Marsh, in the presence of a large number of sorrowing neighbors and friends. The services were exceed ingly impressive and the remarks made by the ministers and the songs sung were of a touching nature. The interment was in Elm wood Cemetery where all that was mortal of a pure God-like christian was consigned to the tomb to await the summous to come up higher and bask in the radiant smiles of Him who sits on the Great White Throne. The pall-hearers were: Messrs J. G. Hunt, E. T. White, Jas. U. Meadows, J. S. King, John Ilas kins and W. J. Stem. We ask you to read the adver tisement of Mr. Pete Bullock in an other column. He is agent for the Harrell Buggy, manufactured in South Boston, Va., and if you need a buggy give him a call. Paul Carington, a negro of Bul lock, was arrested on Monday and brought to Oxford and jailed for mak ing improper advances to a younar white married lady of that section. We were in hopes that the awful punish- meat heretofore meted out to such : chracters was sufficient warning to ' negroes for assaulting the white ladies of our State. Let the law take i its course and just punishment will be his reward.

Alba Hey wood, is a yersatile artist in character sketches. Indeed it would be hard to find his equal in "old lady" part, and the "boy" act is an oddity peculiar to Mr. Heywood's original humor. His other delinea tions and comic songs are pleasing and laughable. Miss Drescher, the violin soloist, takes leadership among American ladies who have taken up the violin. Her execution is mar velous and there is to be noticed in her pla.yiug a delicacy of grace of movement. The euphonium solo of Clint Heywood and the accom paniment of Miss Steele were re ceived with marked favor. Indian apolis, Ind., Journal. This attraction will appear at the Oxford Opera House, Saturday night April 15th. You can't afford to miss such a rich, rare and enjoyable entertainment. Not Expected to be In It. "Little Black Eyes," one of our greatly appreciated correspondents, refers to the editor in her communi cation in another part of this paper in a complimentary way, and sug gests us for Superintendent of Public sehools. We would not accept the office, and if we wanted too could not get it, as a newspaper man is not expected to hold office in Granydle whether there is any money in or not, and must be satisfied with being allowed the priv ilege to continue to battle for the great party of the people, and we take advantage of the privilege. We warmly thank our little girl friend for her thoughtfulness, but must say that the editor, while not an office seeker, has long since come to the conclusion that the words so plainly expressed by the beloyed Vance: "That the horse that pulls the plow, should have the fodder," counts for naught among the leaders of the Democratic party if one is outside of certain influences or is as pliant as a piece of chewing gum, adjusted to suit the wiseacres that always come to the front when there is pie to give out, making no difference how many sacrifices one has made and how much abuse has been heaped upon him on account of his fealty to his party, yet he is too strong a Demo crat to receive benefits from the party, but just the man to fight the battles and assist others to secure cushioned seats at the entrancing pie counter. If the editor had a little more dem agogism in his make up he doubtless would be more in accord with the "Star Chamber," and would not bear the glorious distinction of being too "strong a Democrat" to suit the peo ple. Why bless your soul, because we bolJly and fearlessly stepped upon the corns and pricked the hides of slippery demagogues, who pre ferred .Negro Bih Royster Rule in Granville, which we labored so hard for four long years to overthrow, and pHce it in the hands of such true and efficient men that now haye the dis tinguished honor of presiding over the affairs of the county and who so ably and satisfactorily represented us in the Legislature, it was rendered as an excuse for not employing the son of the editor who had never cast a vote, so the Democratic sins of the father was yisited upon his son by a Democrat. We are satined with our record as a Democrat and a true advocate of white supremacy and pure govern ment, and shall continue the fight from year to year to the glory and honor of our beloyed county and State. Clay Clamors. Easter was unusually dull in this section. Tobacco about all sold in this vicinity. Miss Emma Montague, of Person county, is the guest of Mr. J.F. Usry and family. Mr. Editor, after a prolonged si lence we will give you a few items for your valuable paper. Miss Tazzie Eakes has returned from a very pleasant trip to the Mountain Creek section.

Old people of our vicinity say there was more than they had ever seen in April before. It was with much pleasure we read of our dear friend Goobers going into the merchantile business. May success crown his every effort. Little Mary Ijou flay while playing with her brother the past week fell aud broke her collar bone, but under the skil ful treatment of Dr. Jas. A. Mortis we are glad to say is im proving. It is indeed a pleasure to us to hear the political career of our able Rep resentation Hons. C. W. Bryan and A. A. Lyon together with Senator Hicks complimented by those who have differed with us in politics. The Sunday School at Corinth re organized the" first Sunday in April with a large attendance. We hope our entire community will aid us with their presence and assistance this year and help us to make this year the grandest year in Corinth's Sunday School history. Agricultural work is at a stand still with us just now on account of the recent snow, farmers are very much behind in their work. We have only heard of one man, Mr. Samuel Gordon, who has planted any corn. Tobacco plants small on account of so much cold weather, but think the tobacco crop will be on an average as to the amount planted. It was our pleasure to at' end the entertainment at the close of the publ'c school in Leopold distiictNo. 1. of recent date taught by the ac complished and efficient, Miss L zzie Gill of Vance. The recitation of her pipils showed the result of much .raining. We wiil not say a&y more as thei-o were six correspondents of the Public Ledger present. Shoe Pegs. MOVEMENTS OF PEOPLE.

On Tuesday morning between Ox ford and my home or in Oxford I lost my pocket book containing $110. The book was old and worn and had been sewed up at each side, with a strap that went over the top and fastened under one edge. A very liberal reward is offered the finder by returning to Feildixq Knott, or at the Bank of Granville. Greenville Reflector: Sunday af ternoon of last week some boys roam ing in the woods between the road and the river, just east of town, where they found the dead body of an unknown colored man. The body was on the slant of the hill, head downward and face turned to the ground. The boys hastened over in town to report the discovery and a crowd went out to the place.

Mr. Osborne, of the new director ship of the penitentiary, says that no proposition to employ convicts in the cultivation of sugar beets has been made to the new management. He says many convicts are being par doned or discharged and remarkably few are coming in. The number shr nk3 steadily. There is a law allowing counties to-have state con victs for road work, but this is in the discretion of the penitentiary author ities. None can be spared. An ex pert made the calculation as to the number required to operate the farms and found it to be 889. Osborne says that, strange to say, exactly this number were round to be available.

She bore her afflict ion with patience and in her last hours she gave ample evidence that she was prepared to meet her God. At the funeral service her pastor or former pastor paid many tributes of respect to her memory, and her body was laid to rest in the family burying ground.

Well Known Citizen of La Orange Fatally Wounded. Kinston, N. C, April 4. Last night about midnight the family of G. W. Hoffner were awakened by the rattling of the blinds at the front of the house. Mr. Hoffner, pistol in hand, went to the front door, on which some one was beating as if trying to enter. Mr. Hoffner asked who was there. The hall was dark, and some one attempted seemingly to push by him. Hoffman fired, the bullet striking the intruder in the region of the heart. The wounded man, who was in an intoxicated con dition, was taken to the residence of Mr. John C. Wooten, near by, and physicians were summoned. He proved to be Council Joyner, a well known citizen of La Grange. Al though all was done for him that friends and physician could do, he died this morning about 10 o'clock. It appears that Joyner was seeking the home of Mr. Wooten when he knocked, but had missed it. The coronor's jury exonorated Mr. Hoff ner, for whom, as well as for the deceased's family, much sympathy is felt. Educate Toar Uowels Willi Cascarets.

Such Wonders of Beauty in Millinery Greets the eye at Long Bros, it is with difficulty a selection can be made, everything resolving itself into a veritable spring symposium of buds, blossoms, airy fabrics and glittering buckles.
