On the farm of Rev. Thales Turner, a few days ago an old time 9 pence Diece was nlownd nn. and proved to be 124 years old. The new offices of Dr. S. H. Can- nady and Mr. J. B. Roller, are near- ing completion. They will be nice and cosy, with glass fronts even if they are rather small. Mr. Fred Currin, who lives near Enon had a barn of tobacco to go up in smoke Friday. Mr. J. P. Mize, one of his neighbors, succeeded in saving most or the logs by hard work. It is now predicted that the Dan ville Warehouse combine wiil go to pieces. The management has chang ed twice since the organization was formed, and is now in third hands. We hope the charming "Bee" at Cieedmoor will continue to buzz in the columns of the Public Ledger, and let the people know what is going on in and around that progres sive town. A movement is on foot to orga nize the plug tobacco manufacturers of North Carolina and Virginia in opposition to the American To bacco company, with a capital stock of $10,000,000. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Mebane is having a pamphlet list gotten out of all the county superintendents of schools and members of the county board of schools directors. In mentioning the house party at Mr. Stephen H. Jones, near Cul breth, two weeks ago we failed to mention that Mrs. J. J. Davis, of Blackstone, Va., and Misses Lizzie and Margarette Hilliard were among the guests. A young hopeful sat in the wid dow a long time the other night during a thunder-storm, and contemplated the scene with a wise look on his face. Then he turned and said. "The angels are scratching matches in the sky." Household Words. The sweetest moment that ever thrilled the heart of men was when the fairest face ever fashioned was turned half shyly towards our own and von saw the soft, sweet licrht of loye in the beaming eyes of brown and heard the witchery laden words of "I will be thine." They believe in the scriptural injunction of multiplying and re plenishing in Pennsylvania. A dis patch from Pittsburg says that "the wife of George Hackett (col.) be came the mother of seven babies, yesterday, six boys and one girl." Pennsylvania is enttled to one head mark. The Gastonia Gazette makes the following announcement: "After this issue Mr. V. M. Grier becomes editor and manager of The Gazette. He is a son of Dr. W. M. Grier, president of Erskine College, has some acquaintance with newspaper making, and is a young man of ex cellent spirit and character." We are greatly pleased to learn from Mr. John Paris that the Oxford colony at Kinston is doing well, and are numbered with the progres sive citizens of that hustling town. Messrs Henry and George Knott have established a fine repu tation as warehousemen, with Chas. Gregory as book-keeper. The buy ers on the market from Oxford are Col. W. A. Bobbitt, Messrs E. G. Carrin, C. D. Day, James Meadows and Geo. Fleming, all of whom are doing well and are a credit to old Granville. The Baptist Female Uniyersity of North Carolina will throw open its doors to the young ladies ot the State Sept. 27th, 1899, with a high grade faculty of 19 equal to any in the Southland. The building is a beautiful one equipped with all the modern conyeniences and is a model home for young ladies seeking a high education. The school is con trolled by the Baptist denomination of the State, but young ladies of any denomination will be received. For further information we direct you to the advertisement in another col umn. Rev. A. R. Shaw closed an in teresting series of sermons at the Presbyteran church Sunday night with good results. Several additions to the church and reawakening among members as to their christian duties and a reconsecration of their lives in the service of the Master. Rev. Shaw is a strong preacher and deals in no mysteries, but preaches the plain unvarnished truth and holds firmly to the faith as it was once and for all delivered to the Apostles the faith that Christ, and Christ alone has power on earth to forgive sins, and that we must look up to Him if we would escape the consequences of the bite of the old serpent. OXFORD, N. The roof of the Minor warehouse is being repaired. Mrs. Fannie Jones, died at her in Dutchville late Sunday afternoon, aged 90 years. The Trustees of the University have elected Ex Judge J. C. McRae dean of the law school. If you are suffering from Rheu matism don't fail to try Rheumacide manufactured by Bobbitt Drug Co., Raleigh. Ex-Jndge Graham has been look mg after the grading of Hillsboro street this week, and had the hands on the moye. Mr. Robt. Wood has a bright eyed girl at his home to call him papa, and Mr. A. T.

Hilliard will hold services and preach in St. Peters church Stoyall on Sunday next Aug. 27th at 11 a. m. All persons are cor dially invited to attend. The Oxford Seminary will open next Wednesday, and from present indications will have trie largest at tendance within the history of this fine institution of learning. Mr. J. O. Bunn had the misfor tune to lose out of his pocket a few days ago a roll of bills containing $100. The finder will be liberally rewarding by returning the same. The sympathies of our people go out to Mrs. A. S. Hall in the death of her brother, Mr. Wade H. Cheek, which occurred at Henderson Wed nesday morning at 8 o'clock, of con sumption. Dogs made a raid on the gang of turkeys of Mr. R. W. Lassiter a few days ago and killed three and hereafter all dogs caught prowling around his place will come in con tact with a heavy dose of lead. The Randolph Argus says that Mr. W. M. Stephens, an old school teacher, was in Asheboro Monday and said that he has received over $8,000 of public school money for teaching since he was 18 years old. Rev. J. B. Floyd, of Berea, at tended tbe Local Minister's Confer ence at Clayton the past week He had the honor of being President of the body the last term and is suc ceeded by Rev. R. C. Gulley, of Franklinton. All lines of hardware have ad vanced in price, but the firm of Ed wards & Winston placed an order for a car load of cook stoves before the rise and will sell them at the old price. Now is the time to buy if you need one. Mrs. E. C. Ferrabow, of Stem, answers Little J31ack Eyes sum as follows: 15, 3, 1, 1,-20; 11, 3, 3, 3 20. The Post master at Hampton was the first one to send in correct answer and has been forwarded the Public Ledger by Little Black Eyes. I have received from the State Superintendent a supply of the School Law. Township Trustees and committeemen desiring copies can obtain same by calling at my office or by sending written requests. F.

Holmes, in the presence of a select company of friends and rela tiyes, Miss Sarah Overton and Henry Overton, Esq., were unite in holy matrimony. May old Father Time and the Fates deal greatly with them. Ann Charleston, one of the oil well-known and highly esteemed col ored women of Oxford, died Tuesday night of dropsy. SLe leaves only one son, Thos. Charleston, who has been General J. S. Carr's trusted carriage driver for six years at Dur ham. He was with her when the end came, and has the sympathies of his friends in Oxford in the loss he has sustained. Dr. Rapport, the well-known optician of Durham, will visit Oxford on Monday and Tuesday Aug. 28th and 29th and all who are in need of glasses would do well to remember the dates and consult him while here. No charge for consultation. We ask you to read his advertise ment in another column. Dr. Rap port is thoroughly reliable and will do his best to please you. He will be at the Osborn House. Oar sister town of Henderson has assumed a progressive spirit since the establishment of a large and paying cotton factory, and we are glad to see it. Editor Manning has been for weeks advocating the establishment of a graded school as another great factor in pushing Henderson forward, and has suc ceeded in getting a number of the leading citizens to subcribe enough money to establish the school which will be put in operation in Septem ber, which will no doubt cause an increase in the population of Hen derson. BThe Fall Session of Mrs. A. A. Hicks' School will begin on the 4th of September. Instruction in Sloyd will be given as a part of the regular course. aug24 4t The system of music teaching in the Francis Hilliard School is the best and the latest. So say tlse who know.

New Owen Warehouse Our Wide Awake Market. Friday was another good day for primings as our farmers rolled into town in large numbers, and the warehouses were the center of at traction. The sales commenced at the Farmers warehouse and Graham Hunt made it a live one, doing his best for the interest of the farmers. Eugene Crews' yoice next sound ed at the Johnson warehouse where ' Zck Lyon used his best energies to please his friends in prices. The new Owen warehouse was the next center of attraction as a large number of people had gather ed to witness the sale in the new warehouse. As the farmers un loaded Mr. A. B. Spencer, the hus tling carpenter, was finishing lay ing the splendid new floor. This is a handsome warehouse now with splendid lights, and R. F. Knott & to. enjoy a first-class home and will use every possible means to satisfy all who sell with them. The first load of tobacco unloaded was by Mr. T. S. Rhew, of Cornwall, and next by Mr. Ike Breedlove, of Salem. The break was a good one, and Alf Hobgood run the sale, while Bob Hart caught the rapid,bids of buyers easily and succeeded in securing good prices for all grades. Owing to sickness Mr. R. F. Knott did not have the pleasure of running his first sale in the Owen Warehouse, but hopes to be in good tune to morrow at his regular opening sale, and will do his level best for his farmer friends. Thtj Minor Warehouse was the next to loom up in large proportions and Sol Cooper scored another vict ory on prices for primings. If there is any tobacco floating around he al ways gets his share. Bullock and Mitchell, of the old Reliable Banner, come in for the last sale and rounded up the day's sale with a good record for high averages on primings, and greatly pleased their old farmer friends, as is their wont to do every time. We take occasion to urge the farmers of Granville to take a pride in sustaining their home market as the Oxford warehousemen and buy ers are equal to any in this State or Virginia, and will see that they get the cream of the market on all grades. Death of Miss Annie Medf ord . The Public LiEdger readers knew of the critical illness of Miss Annie Medford, at Roanoke Rapids, with typhoid lever. Her father, Mr. J. J. Medford, received a telegram last Tuesday week announcing that she had suddenly grown worse, and he took the first train for her bedside, and arrived two hours before the end came. The remains reached Oxford at 6:15 p. m. Wednesday afternoon, accompanied by the grief-stricken father, and were followed to the cemetery by a large number of sym pathizing friends. Rey. M. H. Tut tie conducted the services at the grave, assisted by Rev. A. S. Cald well, and when the mound was being completed a number of ladies and gentlemen sung sweetly "Nearer My God to Thee." Miss Annie was 17 years of age and was a devoted member of the Methodist church, and very popular with her acquaintances, an obedient and loving daughter, a true and sym pathetic friend, and more can be said, a noble, Christian girl, and "she hath done what she could." Her life ended just as she was crossing the threshhold of woman hood, but it was best for such was the will of God. Her body paused here for a little while on the passage to the grave, but all that was immortal ot her is with God in that General Assembly and church of the first born which is written in Heaven. She drank of the cup of life and put it down be fore her lips touched its dregs. The happiest days of life were all hers, and then before the life's morning was quite gone, God opened her eyes on the glories of the eternal day. "Faith sees the eternal doors Unfold to make his children way: They shall be clothed with endless life, And shine in everlasting day." In this affliction the sympathy of the community is with the bereaved father and relatives. Death of Dr. Creasy. The death of Rev. William S. Creasy, D. D., of the North Caro lina Conference, will be widely de plored. He was a short time ago in the prime of a vigorous manhood, in the pride of intellectual power, filling with great acceptability the first pulpit of the Methodist church in the Western North Carolina Conference. Some months ago there was a break down, but it was hoped that treatment in a sanitarium in Baltimore would restore his strength and health. That hope proved de lusive. It is sad to see so strong and able a man perish in the height of his usefulness. "Servant of God, well done; Rest from thy loved employ; The battle's fought, the victory's won, Enter thy Master's joy." News and Observer. The careful study of the Bible Is a marked feature in the course of instruc tion in the Francis Hilliard School. HORNER fllLITARY SCHOOL. A North Carolina Educational Institu tion Which Takes High Rank. We have received the 1899 catalo gue of the Horner Military school, Oxford, N. C, and it is not only a handsome production of the typo graphic art, but is handsomely illu strated and contains a vast fund of information about the school, says the Wilmington Messenger. The Horner Military School is in the forty-ninth year of its existence, having been established in 1851 by the late James H. Horner, M. A., LL. D. It has always occupied a foremost position as an educational institution and at the present time it is in the zenitn of success and heads the list in reputation and efficiency. The school not only ranks high in North Carolina, but its advantages are equal to the reputable schools of New England at less than half the cost to its students and patrons. It has prepared students who have led their classes at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Hopkins, West Point, Anappolis, the University of North Carolina, the University of Virginia and all the leading colleges of the State. It has sent more honor men to the university in the past two years than any other five schools combined. Two presidents and one vice presi dent of North Carolina railroads, now living, were turned out from Horner's. It has furnished to the state a bishop, numerous able clergy man, United States congressman, judges bant presidents, two univer sity presidents, college professors and principals of high schools and academies in several states. It has also furnished the state with suc cessful presidents and managers of several cotton mills and sent out tor successful careers many other leading citizens. It is a noteworthy fact that a lar ger per cent, of the Horner students successfully enter college than from any other school. It is most admir ably equipped to prepare young men for higher education. The curri culua are designed for mental de velopment with correct habits of study, not on the narrow lines of fitting young men for business and ordinary avocations. The founda tions are laid broad and enduring for a superstructure in education of lofty character and high aims. The school is not oyer cheap and consequently has an able faculty. Three of the faculty have the A. M. degree and all the other members are full college graduates with the usual degree. For the coming year the faculty numbers two more than usual. Mr. Edward Kenna, A. B., Goereetown University. on of the late Senator Kenna, of West Vir ginia, has been added to the faculty in the last few days. As to athletics, the school is pre paring to lead in base ball, foot ball and general athletics, as it has in the past in scholarship and discipline The tennis, base ball, and foot ball grounds, and a well graded running and bicycle track are located imme diately in front of the barracks. It is not strange that such an institu tion as the Horner Military School has had a large patronage from Wil mington, and it is gratifying tor tne Messenger to state that our boys are inspired with the high aspirations which the schools aims to develop. Three prizes were won by Wilmmg ton boys last year. The next term of this school begins September 5th, and doubtless the Wilmington contingent among the students will be largely increased over that of last year. WAY TO SUCCESS. Why Cannot, Oxford Take Steps in This Direction. "The best method in which a town can nave its wav to success is to rmva its streets and improve the hichwavs leading therefrom." The PuBiiic Ledger warmly com mends the above from an exchange tr nnnnlfi and business men of Ox V ,VV,.V ford. It is something that we need, and need badly, that of improved public roads leading to Oxford, as thA fall trade is near at hand and it is to the direct interest of our busi ness men to take steps to improye thfl bad roads leading into Oxford. It will draw trade and put money in their pockets. Wpi lnarn that owing to the fine condition of the public roads in Dur Viam noiintv a large portion of the trade of Southern Granyille is going to Dnrham. which is proof that good marls leading to a town is a trade drawer. Our County Commissioners are allowing at each term ot our court convicts to be sent to Durham county to work on the public roads of working them on our own uTirl thus heln imnrove the value of nroneirtv m ttranvllie couniy, as wen JL ... . li as their county town. If good roads will build up Durham county they will hnilrl nn Granville, and as our rrvn ntu has all the ea moments on hand, and instead of sacrificing them because some people are opposed to rnada lmnrovement. it will be for the best interest of the tax-payers in the end, to establish a road force and put the highways in Granville in a passable condition it nothing more during the winter monins.
