Osborn is making some improvements to his house on Hills boro street. Ignorance is a disease of which some persons never make an effort to get cared. -The self admiration of some peo ple proves that there is no account ing for tastes. The county is now taking care of 28 inmate at the Home of the Aged and lnhrni. -The Central Baptist Association will meet with Brastfield church on Tuesday Oct. 10th. Messrs. Parker & Hunt are building a new storage house in their wood and coal yard. Mr. R. I. Devin has had his resi dence in Oxford nicely painted and other improvements added. Dr. S. H. Cannady has furnish ed his office up in handsome style, which is neat and attractive. We hear of our one mistake when there isn't a single whisper about the many things we do per fect The venerable Washington Duke. who lives to do good, has presented the Durham colored school with a handsome piano. Out of Gl applicants before the Supreme Court to practice law in North Carolina 43 were granted, among whom was Senator Marion Butler. Hunt & Meadows, of the Farm ers Warehouse, are daily adding to their reputations as hustlers after the last red cent on every pile of tobacco put on their floor. Mr. W. S. Holloway left on Thursday to make Durham his home. His family joined him next day, and the best wishes of people go with them to their new home. The farmers of this territorv can always bet on getting the very top of the market for all grades of tobacco in uxiora, ana ine noor or Farmers Warehouse is the Place to sell it. Try them and see.

Mr. James Cheatham, of Fishing Creek, has become a citizen of Ox ford, and occupies the Holt residence on Main street vacated by Mr. W. S. Holloway. We cordially welcome Mr. and Mrs. Cheatham to our town. We are sorry to learn that the; old Thomas homestead in in Oak Hill township owned and occupied by Mr. C. F. Thomas, was accidently burned up on the 25th of September. The fire caught from some unknown cause about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and most of the furniture was saved. There was no insuance on the house. His neigh bors and friends deeply sympathize with Mr. Thomas in his loss these hard times. At the Lenior Confederate Re union, Hon. Julian S. Carr was in troduced as "a patriot, statesman and philanthropist," the Charlotte Observer says. "Three cheers for Carr. I am for him for the Uuited States Senate," cried a voice in the crowd. The Public Ledger joins in three hearty cheers for Julian S. Carr for the United States Senate which should be echoed by every brave Confederate Soidier from Manteo to Murphy. Messrs. Hunt & Meadows, of the Farmers warehouse, are early birds in hustling after tobacco, and always se l their share of the weed. They are very popular warehousemen as it is a settled fact they do not leave a single stone unturned in order to obtain top rail prices for all who sell tobacco on their floor. It makes Hunt & Meadows happy to satisfy there patrons. They area great lever in pushing forward the Oxford mar ket, and if the farmers want the cream of the market on all grades, courteous treatment why make for the Farmers Warehouse, and you will get it. We ask you to read the chaDge in their advertisement on the 3rd page of this paper. Ills I.ile Was Saved. Mr J. E.

Farmers bear in mind that the orders for all grades of tobacco on the Oxford market have been largely increased in the past few days and our market is very strong and active. Don't be led eli to other markets as Oxford is the best. It is a pleasure to the editor to learn that the Presbyterian congre gation on Sunday morning refused to accept the resignation of their most excellent pastor, Rev. A. S.

The editor is useing every effort to advance the interest ot Oxford, and appeals to the business men to lend a helping hand. Let every body unite and let us push the old town forward, as we must not bo side tracked in the great prosperity rush. United we go forward, divid ed we wili certainly be left behind in the progressive procession.

The Massachusetts equality of negroes with white people has been recently introduced into the sewing room at Oxford Orphan Asy lum in face of the fact that widow ladies and girls in Oxford would be glad to get the situation. The fact is this: a colored women has been placed temporarily as one of the managers of the sewing room to assist in teaching the girls how to ply the needle. At the poles last November the white people of this State put there foot down on this kind of business. The Farmers Mutual Benefit As sociation met in the Court House Monday with a large attendance. Mr. D. T. Cheatham was elected President, and Mr. M. Blalock sec retary, along with the following supervisors lor the townships: Dutch- ville, A. A. L.yon; Tally Ho, A. G. Clement; Walnut Grove, R.

The Association is in good condition with a membership of 3CG, and the cap ital stock is $367,955. It is a good thing for our farmers and pays losses promptly. The Board of County Commis sioners in conjunction with Dr.G. A. Coggeshall and Mr. F. W. Hancock visited the Home of the Aged and lnhrm luesdayto look after some needed improvements in that Insti tution. They decided to move one of the buildings and convert it into two dining rooms, one for the white and one for the colored, with cook room attached, which will result in great saving to the county. The Board also decided to purchase iron bedsteads for the rooms which will be a great improvement over the cumbersome wooden ones that have been in use for many years. It is estimated that the cost of the im provements will not exceed $125. It is a pleasure to the Public Ledger to announce that these much needed improvements will be made at once, and congratulate the Committee who first call it to the attention of our Board of Commissioners. "THERE IS REST FOR ME." Death of Mrs. Alex. A. Crews Mon day Night, After an illness of many weeks Mrs. Alex. A. Crews passed away Monday night about 11 o, clock, and the funeral occurred Tuesday after noon conducted by Rev. M. H. Tat tle at the open grave in Elmwcod Cemetery surrounded by grief striek en relatives and friends. Rev. Tut- tie instead of preaching a sermon read the following, after which he offered up one of the most beautiful prayers we ever heard: Mrs. uora c. crews was born in Nash county Feb. 1849, and died in Oxford Oct. 2nd, 1899. She there fore lived to see the age of 51 years. In 18G9 she was married to Mr. A. A. Crews, of Oxford. By him she become the mother of two children, a son.and a daughter, both having preceded her to the Eternal world. She was a kind, spmpathetic, good hearted Christian woman, whom everybody that knew loved. She was faithful and true in all the re lations of life. But it is not our in tention, however worthy she may be, to enter into any extended eu logy of the deceased; we simply want to give her friends some idea ot the bright hope she had of a better world beyond. During her last, sickness she often prayed to God that she might be permitted to suffer here all that Divine wisdom seen fit for her to suffer. This prayer seem to have been literally answered. Her suffering during her last days on earth was severe and protracted. In fact her whole life was checkered with sorrow and affliction. It was through much tribulation that she entered into the Kingdom of God. Only a few days before death came she expressed to her devoted sisters a wish that she had strength to sing that beautiful Hymn, beginning with these words, "Joy to the world, the Lord is come"! She was too weak to sine then. We trust she can sing it now. She at times, would exclaim with radient joy, "O Heaven sweet Heaven! When shall I see? O when shall I get there?" We hope she may be there now. She would often try to sing, "On the other .side of Jordan, Where the Tree of Life is blooming, There is rest for me." She had a strong faith in Christ. She confessed that she was a poor unworthy sinner saved by Grace. She seemed to have a clear and abid ing assurance that Christ would save her. In this faith she died. She was fully resigned to death, and longed to be released from her sufferings. In her last hours she talked much of the grace of God. She would often call for certain portions of scripture to be read to her. She expressed a feeling of great, gratitude for the kindness shown her by her friends. She wanted to return thanks for what they had done for her in her weakness. This is always charac teristic of the dying Christian. From her last testimony and expression, we feel that we have just grounds to hope that she has gone to a better home than this. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord." Sweet may be the rest of Sister Crews. And may God in His goodness bless and comfort the bereaved husband and sisters, and may they all meet again in a better world. fiarrv vonr seed cotton to Parham Bros.

Saturday was a bright beautiful day and the ladies turned out en masse to behold the wonderful and attractive creations in millinery art, handsomely displayed by our Milliners who are ever anxious to please the taste of our dear ladies, who seemed to be in their glory a3 they chattered among each other about the latest tads. The elaborate displays of Messrs. Landis & Easton, Long Bros., Miss Emma Day and Miss Mary belle Gregory were extremely attractive. showing up in handsome style the very latest fads, in shapes, trim mings etc., which certainly seemed to captivate not only the little Miss, the young lady but the matronly dame. Some times a stray man would peep in and sigh for the sil ver wheels that he would have to shell out to bedeck the head of his daughter or his wife. 0 course he would leave with a sad look on his face while those of the ladies would be all smiles as they passed from one Millinery store to another. There has never been an autumn when birds were more lavishly used in the decoration of feminine head wear than this. There is hardly a hat or a bonnet which does not have some sort of feather adorn ment, ranging all the way from one stiff quill to the entire plumage of the bird. As tor the milliners, they are quick to take a hint from public taste, and they would readily exer cise their ingenuity in turning out marvels of mulinerv art with which the strictest humanitarian would not be able to find fault. Miss Gregory's Opening. Saturday morniner domed clear and cool, but the bright sunshine tempted all out of doors, and the slight trostiness ot the air maae winter millinery a timely subject of thought and conversation. There were many things to make Miss Mary Belle Gregory's opening a particularly charming occasion. The cordial greeting the gracious proprietress, assisted by her sisters, gave to the callers, the meeting of friends, and further to carry out the delightful occasion there were delicious and daintily served refresh ments, but most interesting of all was the display of beautiful hats and bonnets. All the latest shapes and colors were shown. Where all was lovely it is hard to specify and how the phantoms of many lovely and stylish hats crowded before my eyes clamoring to be mentioned. But space forbids me to say more than that you will find embodied at Miss Gregory's pleasant place of business and may each one who calls become as the writer, A Saiisf.led Customer.
