SHORT-STOPS IN THE LOCAL LINE Gathered and Condensed for the Eye of the Reader. Dr. S. D. Booth has the champ ion Irish potato patch of Oxford. The world seems such a beauti ful place when you haye almost left it. The Parham & Dorsey lumber yard is now in full blast near the depot. Preparations are being made to commence work on the new Methodist church. Observe the same courtesy in asking a service of another as you would expect yourself. A ladies' gentle horse and low phaeton for sale by Mrs. Rosa Kron heimer at a reasonable price. To broaden in spirit it is only necessary to dwell ;a the midst of suffering for a few short days. Rev. A. R. Shaw, of Henderson, preached a very interesting sermon at the Presbyterian Church Sunday night. Late in life when a man sees the women who broke his heart at twenty he wonders how she did it or if she really did. Rev. J. T. Gibbs, the able Presid ing hiiuer ot tins District will nold quarterly meeting in the Methodist Church Sunday. Coley Gill was a regnlar juror at term of court just closed and the awyers did not allow him to serve on a single jury. Lots of people who want work assert that they will do anything, but when it comes to the point they all want an easy job. That suggestion of Reed's for saking the party on the principle of rats leaving a sinking ship is prop erly echoed by the remark: Rats! If physicians showed as much sympathy in every case as the pa tients teel they should they would be worn out emotionally in a few short months. Already the summer girl is put ting in a preliminary appearance. While a year older than last season she is one of the most attractive in stitutions of the age. The spring humorist is almost as bad as the spring poet when he in dulges in remarks about the dogwood trees being so named because they have plenty of bark. Deputy Sheriff E.K. Howard, ac companied by Mr. D. A. Moore, carried James Marrow, Wm. Ham lett, Ed Cousin and Arch Hammie, all colored, to the Durham county work house on Monday. We are glad to see that the painting fever has struck Oxford, and many houses have been greatly improved thereby. Mrs. Mary C. Caunady is having her handsome residence on College street repaint ed.

We are pleased to learn that the Colonel is improving. eyed, sweet, Pauses a moment, with white twink ling feet, And golden locks in breezy play, Half teasing and half tender to re peat, Her song of May." The editor had the good luck to take dinner with Mr. John Beasley, the expert bicycle repair, at the Irwin House Tuesday. Mrs Carrie Wilder, who knows how to tempt the appetite, had an elegant bill of fare, among which was several kinds of vegetables from Florida. Within the next two or three weeks the Adjutant General will un dertake the work of organizing the new second regiment, North Caroli State guard. It will be composed tor the most part ot the companies that have just returned from Cuba, and Col. Armfield will be colonel of it. It would be a good thing for Oxford if we could have an election for town officers every six months, as iust before an election many of our streets get worked. We truly hope the new administration will make it a point to put the side walks in good order so that pedestrians will not have to wade in mud. Another one of the orphans crossed over the river of death Sun day morning and must be numbered with the redeemed as Jesus said "suffer little children to come unto me." John Kennedy was his name, and he was said to be the best look ing little fellow in the Asylum. He was about six years old and was from Wayne County. His remains were sent home for interment. The Memphis, Tenn. Scimitar of April 24th says that: the Seaboard Air Line and the Nashville, Chatta nooga & St. Louis railroad brought into Memphis yesterday two cars of freight which had made an actua running tim of four and onehalf days from New York. This is the fastest time made up to date in this city by a rail and water line, and is close to the time made by the all rai lines, none of which run it in less than four days. Don't forget the Orphan enter tainment at Opera House Friday night. We ask you to read the five new legal advertisement in this issue as they might prove of interest to you. COUNTY COnniSSlONERS.

Moss and W. H. Waller. The first thing of course that re quired the attention of the Board was the rebate question, and Chair man Crews threw the belt on the re bate mill and a number fell in the topper. J. VY. Wilson and J. E. W. Wat son were exempted from paying poll tax. The outside pauper mill took a few whirls and Mrs. M. Longmire and 'eter Smith were put on the list, and John May $2.50 and Lucinda Marable special allowance of $3. In settlement with J. R. Buchan an, oupenntenuent or tue nome ot the Aged and Infirm, it was found that the county owed him $fS.G2 and the clerk was ordered to issue order for the same. The resignation of D. C. Chappell, constable of Brassfield township, was accepted and S. Dillard was elected to fill the vacancy. L. S. Elliott was also elected constable of Oak Hill township. Dr. S. H. Cannady, one of Oxford's popular physicians, was elected Su perintendent of Health for twelve months at a salary of $250, and will make a most competent official. The retiring Superintendent, Dr. G. A. Coggeshall, has shown himself to be a most faithful and painstaking of ficer, guarding well the health of the people. Sheriff Fleming reported that he had collected for April $149.20 coun ty and $88.99 State taxes. Deputy Sheriff J. 1. Cozart report ed the following taxes collected for the month of April: State, $309.35; school, $397.05; county. $376.10; rail road, $102.07. Total, $1,245.23. The usual amount ot claims against the county were allowed. To the Honorable Henry R. Bryan, Judge presiding at the April term of Granville Superior court: The grand jury haying made the proper investigation ot matters in their charge for the above term of Granville Superior court does hereby have the honor of submitting the following report to-wit: 1. We have examined the office oi the Clerk of the Superior court and find that all the books, papers &c, are neatly and properly kept. We find that the window bi nds or the main ortice ot tne i;ierk ot tne ou perior court are not supplied with sufficient fasteners, and also that the blind or shutter to the vault is not sufficiently thick as to be safe in case of fire and we recommend that the necessary repairs be made at once. 2. We have also examined the office of the Register Of Deeds and find the books therein are properly kept and in a neat condition. 3. We have made a thorough and complete examination of the Home for the Aged and lnnim, the inmates seemed to be all well clothed, fed and cared for. We find a plenty of corn on hand for the years supply. Ihe mules and other stock we found in good condition. We recommend that as tar as possible the superintendent raise on the land as many supplies for the use of the inmates as possible. 4. In resrard to the iail we will state that with the exception ot a small place in the floor of the passage needs to be repaired we found the iail in a remarkable neat and clean condition and the prisoners are well supplied with water and an abund ance of sound wholesome food twice a dav and the bedding is sufficient and of a comfortable kind. 5. In conclusion we recommend that as there are a number of guar dians who for several years past have made no returns to the buperior court Clerk of what dispositions had been made of the property ot their words as reported to us by the Clerk of the Superior court we respect fully call your attention to their neglect. Also we recommend that better desks be provided for the offices of Superior Court Clerk and Register of Deeds. All of which is respect fully submitted. J. R.

Perry Will Case Damage SuitThe Gattis-Kilgo Case on Demurrer. On Wednesday the will case of Perry ys. Adams was taken up. It seems that Mr. Wm. T. Adams de sired to upset the will of the late Perry. There was able counsel on both sides, Messrs. R. B. Boone, of Durham, Col. L. C. Edwards, Gen'l B. S. Royster and Senator A. A. Hicks, a strong team, appeared for Mr. Thos. Perry, and Ex-Judges I. W. Winston and A. W. Graham for Mr. W. T. Adams. The case occupied two days and several ex ceedingly able speeches were made on both sides, while many consider ed that of Mr. Boone the ablest. The jury after a short consultation ustamed the will. David O'Gary vs. Southern Rail way for damages was next. This case grew out of the fact that Capt. Galbraith put O'Gary off his train because he presented to him what he took to be an out of date ticket. Messrs. Fab Busbee and J. C. Biggs represented the Railroad, and Ex Judges Graham and Winston, ap peared for O Gary. The iury gave O'Gary $630 damages which in our opinion was excessive under the cir cumstances. It is true a mistake occurred and the affable, accommo dating Capt. Galbraith, was honestly mistaken in the ticket presented by Mr. O'Gary. It is a well-known fact that the Southern has not a more popular and painstaking con ductor in its service than Capt. Gal braith and who would not have in tentionally wronged Mr. O'Gary. IheGattis-lvugo was next case be fore J udge Bryan on demurrer, and great interest was manifested in this case which commenced Saturday af- ernoon and finished Monday morn ing. Tne prominent legal lights who participated in the multifarious egal points that were presented by counsel showed extraordinary tact. earning and logic. Major Wm. A Guther, the well-known lawyer of Durham, opened the case for Rev. T. J. Gattis, the plaintiff, and the demurrer, Dr. Kilgo and Messrs Duke and Odell, neither of whom were present, was presented by that distinguished jurist, R. O. Burton, Esq , of Raleigh. Both ot these gentlemen rank high in their pro fession. Mr. R. B. Boone, the talented and eloquent lawyer from Durham who would have been a power as Solici tor of this district.representiug Rev Gattis made a speech of great power aerainst the demurrer. 1 he well equipped Judge Winston spoke with characteristic ability against the view taken by counsel for the de fendant. Mr. T. T. Hicks, the able lawyer of Henderson, spoke also for sustaining the demurrer. He made a strong argument. The speech of dituB m i uiutm, nit? ai.i uug aim xwi- cible lawyer of Oxford, supplement ed the able speeches of Messrs.Boone and Guthrie against sustaining the demurrer. Such a brilliant and powerful ar ray of legal learning has rarely been exhibited. The demurrer was sustained by the Court and the plaintiff took an appeal Atter hearinsr a tew motion the Judge adjourned court for the term, and Deputy Sheriff Howard and his proficient assistant, Leroy Elliott, had the pleasure oi knowing that they had discharged their duties faithfully and well. Of coinse the Clerk department was admirably run bv Dr. Hunt and w. T. Lyon, and Janitor Mangum should not be forcwrten as he was faithful in the. discharge of his duties.

I had a little boy who was nearly dead from an attack of whooping cough. My neighbors recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I did not think that any medicine would help him, but after giv. ine him a few doses of that remedy I noticed an improvement, and one bottle cured him entirely. It is the best cough medicine 1 ever had In the house. J, L. Moore, South Burrgettstown, Pa. For sale by J. G. Hall, Druggist. MOVEMENTS OF PEOPLE. YOU KNOW SOME, BUT NOT ALL.

Oxford enjoyed one of the most exciting elections (?) Monday with- n our recollection, and around the lolls some fine work was done for the cause of rule and order, and raudless sidewalks and enforcement of the vagrant law, and above all an administration with backbone. Dem ocrat after Democrat fell in line. ind the rallying cry was: "Victory, victory, victory, and up with Tam many and County Democracy !" Ihe tearless and daring Judge W. C Clement was in command of the noble braves and with his aids held the key to the situation, being as he was in charge ot the election forti fication. It was nip and tuck all day as to the majorities the gallant mayor and popular board of com missionrs would receive whether they were "too strong a Democrats" or not as there were no Populist votes that they expected to win. But to do justice to the candidates not a one of them had stepped hard on the soft corns ot our Popu list friends in the glorious and brave fight against negro-demagogue rule. Atter the great and hotly contest ed battle was over and the votes counted out the brave patriot.Judge Walter Clement, announced that our handsome young Mayor, Sidney W, Minor, and Commissioners J. Ir Stedman, Z W. Lyon, J. E. Howell, W. J. Stem, W. H. Hunt, Jos. S. Brown and C. II . Landis had the distinguished honor of receiving every vote cast. Glorious achievement ior lam- many and County Democracy, and they found out in "Unity there was Strength.77 The ticket in reality was such a good one that there was no opposi tion to it, and we sincerely hope their administration will prove a blessing to the town.

It is good news to hear that they are coming again, and will pre sent their new and latest play, "The Midnight Fire," at the Opera House positively but one night, Friday, May 12. This will be their only date in Oxford this year as their dates are failed solid way into the beginning of next year. As a substantiation of their promises for the excellence of "The Midnieht Fire" amended will be found the opinion of two of of our able State papers: ihe New Bern Daily Journal says: tsetore an audience which filled every seat in the theatre last night "The Midnight Fire" was presented. The play an intensely interesting one, abounds in pretty love scenes, a good deal of comedy, and enough tragedy to keep up inter est throughout. "Midnight Fire" is a splendid play and does not suffer in comparison with "Captain Dick." Henderson Gold Leaf says Ber tram and Willard's previous visit here established their reputation as capable and successful exploiters of the best and purest in histrionic art literature, and when they promised in their latest effort "The Midnight Fire" as great success as "Captain Dick" the public knew what to ex pect. Nor were they disappointed. Tho prices of admission will be 35 cents; children 15 cents; gallery 25 cents; reserved seats at 50 cents. BUY :btjgo-iei made at SOUTH BOSTON, VA. Sold by p.
