SHORT-STOPS IN THE LOCAL LINE Gathered and Condensed for the Eye of the Reader. Mrs. Norfleet Crews, near Dab ney,'who has been quite sick, we are pleased to learn is some better. Mr. J. K. Walters, the newly elected superintendent of the Poor House, raised on one acre on his farm near Tar River 45 bushels of corn. Mrs. Emma Lynch has had a new tin roof put on her dwelling occupied by farmer E. W. Jones, and he is quite happy now along with his most estimable lady. Lt. Gilmer, colored, a recruiting officer for the 49th negro Regiment, was in Oxford two days the past week and succeeded in getting three recruits ! go to the Phillipines. Mr. J. P. Mize, who lives near Enon church, found a pocket book a few days ago containing a sum of money and the owner can get the same by discribing the pocket book. Mr. F.W. Hancock acted Mayor protem of Oxford Thursday and the fine looking Sam Wheeler Chief of Police. The town was so quiet they did not have a single case to look after. The Town Commissioners have passed ordinance prohibiting any fire works being hred within the town limits during Christmas, and hence the dealers will have none on sale the coming holidays. -At the State Fair Thursday Ox ford was represented by about one huudred of our best citizens, and among the number was some of our most winsome young ladies who of course greatly enjoyed the fair. Mr. H. H. Eatman has painted in a most attractive manner the resi dence of Mr. R. P. Taylor on Hills- boro street. It would add greatly to the looks of our pretty town if the paint brush was more freely used. - The chiefs of police in this State have formed an organization, at a meeting in Raleigh, with J. A. Woodall, of Durham, president; J. S. Mullen, of Raleigh, vice presi dent; State Detectiye Shaw, of Ral eigh, secretary. Miss Nellie Currin, one of Ox ford's most attractiye young ladies, had the honor of naving bestowed on her at the fair three of the marsh als regalia. It was an honor worth ly bestowed as she possesses many charms and is very popular where ver known. There is great and general pleas ure at the election of Charles Mc Namee, manager f Biltmore farm as the president of the fair. He is a thoroughly live man and is the first one not a native of the State elected president. He appreciates the com pliment thus paid him. Master Don Gilliken, one of the bright little boys at the Orphan Asylum, while jumping oyer the railing of one of the cottages, fell and broke one of his arms Monday morning. Dr. T. L. Booth was sum moned and set his arm. He is get ting along all right now if his arm is in a sling. The tobacco-growers met in Ral eigh Thursday. They are very bit ter against the American Tobacco Company, and their bitterness is too great for words. They charge upon it the low prices and the general de pression in the market and say that the Legislature can crush it if it will only do so. Grand Secretary B. H. Woodall says that since June 1st, no less than 1,000 persons have become Odd Fellows under the new "club" sys tem, and that 200 have joined other wise. There are now 112 working lodges. It is the aim to increase the strength of existing lodges, rather than create new ones. The widow of former Governor Atkinson, of Georgia, has created something of a sensation in basinets and social circles by going into the field as a general State agent for fire and life insurance companies. She says her purpose is to make a living and educate her five children. She is already doing well and has re ceiyed letters of congratulation from numerous society women. If the Public Ledger uses every effort possible to draw every pound of tobacco it can to Oxford why is it it cannot receive the warm support of those directly interested? Of course we cannot compete with the large printing establishment in other cities that do fifty times the volume of work we do, but they neyer con tribute a word to build up our to bocco market and Oxford. The editor deeply regrets to IfiRm of the critical illness of Mrs. Dr. J. W. Booth at Tally Ho. She suffered a stroke of paralysis a few days ago and has continued to grow worse ever since, Drs. T. L. Booth and S. D. Booth are by her side day and night, one in the day and the other at night and the editor joins a host of friends in wishing Mrs. Booth a full restoration to health. Good tobacco as well as com mon always fetches the highest av erages on the Oxford market. Mr. Thos Jones sold some a few days ago on the floor of the Banner Ware house at $15, 8, 10,15,14 75,12, 10 25. P. P. Cannady also sold a load at $5.40, 11.50, 30, 9, 7, 4 90. If farmers desire the cream of the market for all grades why Oxford is the place to get it every time. We rffer for rent the Dr. Fort pHce near Oxford. Pback & Hooves. OXFORD, N. Mrs. John W. Hays, who has been sick for some time, we are pleas ed to learn is able to ride out. Mrs. L. C. Edwards, who has been confined to her room on ac count of sickness is better, so we learn. The walls of the new Methodist church continues to go up, and is being well built. The trimmings will be of a handsome character. The latest arrival at the Museum in Raleigh is an enormous diamond rattle snake from Craven country; length, 7 feet 6 inches; diameter, 4 inches. Your attention is called to three important advertisements in this issue by John W. Hays, Trustee; S. A. Fleming, Sheriff; Monroe Clayton, Executor, and J. G. Hunt, Clerk of the Superior Court. The Tobacco Board of Trade have held a meeting and elected of ficers, but we have failed to secure the name of the officers, and hence shall have to forgo the pleasure of publishing them this week. The handsome parlors of Dr. and Mrs. G. A. Coggeshall was the scene of joy and happiness Tuesday evening as Miss Dorathea handsome ly entertained quite a number of her lady and gentlemen friends. The Rev. E. A. Osborne, of Charlotte, will preach in St. Peters church, Stovall, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday Nov. 1, 2, and 2, at 11 a. m. and 7 p. m. All per sons are cordially invited to attend. The old Minor Warehouse is still hustling with every foot of floor up for highest prices for the farmers tobacco. Lyoa & Waller sold a small load Tuesday for $35, 20, 6.10 10. and G.20. Adcock & M. gathered 11, 17.50, 8, 10.25 and G. We more than regret to learn that small pox has broke out in Rox- boro and South Boston, Va. It hav ing been pronounced by experts as genuine. Durham has quarantined against both places. Why not Ox ford do the same thingf The late Mr. A. F. Page in his will bequeathed the Acadamy of Music to the Methodist orphanage at Raleigh, half the rental to go to his widow during her life time, but in case the orphanage does not want to take this gift, it is to be given $5, 500 in cash. Mr; K. R. Levister and Miss Ella Clark, of Vance county, were mar ried Sunday night at 7 o'clock at the home of Mr. W. T. Patterson, Rev. Kenneth Holmes performing the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Levister will make Oxford their home for the present. May joy and peace abide in their home. The protracted meeting at the Methodist church, which commenced on Sunday, is growing in interest. Dr. Nash, of Warrenton, and one of the sound and deep expounders of the word in the Methodist Confer ence, is assisting Rev. M. H. Tuttle and in a plain and able manner pointing sinners the way to Christ. The Town Commissioners have ordered a car load of terracota pipeing, and will remove many of the bridges on the streets and put down pipeing thereby making perma nent improvements to many of the streets, lhe present board is a progressive one, and making every edge cut for the substantial improve ments of the streets and the city of the dead. It is with much gratification to the editor that the Public Lfdger continues to grow in the hearts of the farmers, and as an evidence of the fact 49 cash new subscribers have been added to the list in the last 30 days. We use our best efforts to publish a high grade county paper, and to push our town forward even if it should not be appreciated by some of our people. Upward and onward for Oxford and Granville county is our motto, and for the rights of the people and a white man's govern ment. Mrs. J. W. Adcock, one of the greatly esteemed women of Oak Hill township, died Monday night after an illness of five weeks. She was G7 years of age, and a consecrated member of Mountain Creek Baptist church, and will be greatly missed in her community as sue was a splendid neighbor and a fast friend. She leaves a errief stricken husband and five grown children, two daugh ters and three sons, to mourn her demise. The funeral occurred yes terday and the remains interred within the shadow of the home she loved so well. The editor offers his sincere sympathies to the bereaved family.

C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1899. BIG OPERA COMING! Oxford People Turn out and give them a Big House. Manager Massenburg,of the Opera Mouse, always has an eye tor the entertainment of our people and has succeeded in getting the Herald Square Opera Company of New York, to come to Oxford Wednes day night, Nov. 1st, and we want to see Oxford show their apprecia tion of his efforts by giving the Opera Company a rousing house. Kead the following excellent com ment on this excellent company: Long before the overture last night the Opera House was filled to its utmost capacity. By noon the house was sold out and extra chairs were at a premium. The Bohemian Girl, one of the heaviest and most difficult of grand operas was pro duced in a splendid manner,showing the company to be of the highest order. The splendid costumes showed up well and the piece was well staged throughout. Mr. Harry Nelson the leading tenor, who cap tured the house Tuesday night with his superb voice and able rendition of the several solos and duetts, was again heard to great advantage last night, lhe duet with Miss Stetson and ballad "You'll Remember Me" was especially fine. Miss Stetson, the prima donna, was even better than the night before and sang all her numbers in a very artistic and finished manner. We want to hear her again. Miss Kilkoyne was also good and has a fine voice. The rest of the people were all clever and played their part well. Mr. Sims is to be congratulated on bringing such a good attraction here and we believe he is negotiating with the company for a return date of one week, when they will play some of the lighter operas. Annapolis(Md.) Evening Capital. Program of Union fleeting. The Union Meeting of the Flat Riyer Association will be held with Island Creek Church next Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 28th and 29th, and the following subjects will be discussed : SATURDAY MORNIJTG, OCT. 28. 1. How should Mormons be trea ted? 2. Tha nootl of good rcetdine mat ter in our families. 3. What constitutes a good ex cuse for a church member to be ab sent from service ? 4. Ought all christians to give to religious objects ? 5. How can we become better christians? SUNDAY MORNING, 29TH. 6- Why is it that church mem bers do not attend Sunday School? 7. What can 1 do to help my church, my paster, my prayer meet ing, my Sabbath school? The Coroner Hoodooed. Coroner A. Hobgood was sum moned by telegraph Sunday after noon to go to Virgilina to hold an inquest. He left at once, and on arriving there he was told by some colored people that Alger Royster, colored, had died from the effects of a lick hit some few weeks ago on the head by Mr. Ben Puryear. Mr. Hobgood asked what doctor attended Royster and was informed Dr. Drury, and went at once to see him accompanied by seyeral negroes. The doctor said Royster died from typhoid fever after some three weeks illness, and never heard anything about being hit with a stick until after his death. Of course corner Hobgood dia not hold any inquest, and left for home. The State Fair. Raleigh correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says: The figures given as' to there being 15,000 people at the fair grounds Thursday were estimates by officials. Railroad peo pie estimated that there were 20,000 The tendency always is to exagger ate. But it was the greatest crowd at a State Fair here since that of 1892 certainly, and perhaps was a little larger than the latter. It was exceeded by the crowd at the unveil ing of the Confederate monument. It is safe to say that it was the best dressed and most orderly crowd ever seen at a fair, and this declaration means much. The people reflected the general prosperity of the State. There were more f aimers and their families on the grounds than ever before. Hundreds of vehicles from the country were to be seen. Still in the Lead. Oxford still stands ahead as the best all round tobacco market in this territory and our splendid crops of buyers and warehousemen make it a special point to shell out the very highest prices on all grades or to bacco. Every farmer who comes to this market can rest assured that he will receiye the cream of the market on each and every grade. Each one of our warehousemen certainly have the interest of the farmer at heart and use every effort to satisfy him. Large quantities of tobacco are being sold daily on our market, and at the highest possible averages, and we frankly tell our farmers that Oxford is the place to sell their crop, and besides they are helping sustain their home market that has always been their true and tried friends. The largest and best five cent pencil writing tablets can be found at Hancock Drug Store. ACROSS THE THRESHOLD. YOU KNOW SOME, BUT NOT ALL. They Will Come and Go All the Same.

Currin, Lelia Elam Currin fell asleep, quietly and peacefully. She was 38 years old, and a daughter of R. T. Elam, formerly an esteemed citizen of this county. She leaves an aged mother, three sisters and two brothers, besides a devoted hus bond and two bright boys one iust verging into manhood, being a stu dent of Horner Military School, the other a little fellow of some eight years. Mrs. Lelia Currin was more than an ordinary woman. Reared in a christian home she early in life em braced Christ, and for a quarter of a century has been a "living epis- ne, icauiug a ure ox great userui ness, both in the church and the home. She loved her church, her family, her neighbors and kindred with an unfaltering devotion, and all the energies of her life were con secrated to their service. For more than a dozen years she was teacher of the Infant class at Enon Sunday School, a work in which she took great delight, and for which she was so well fitted, and which she did to the honor of her Lord. But it was in the home that her light shone brightest. In the home that her character shone forth with all its resplendent loveliness. In the home that her place cannot be fill ed. In the home that her loss is irreparable. Truly, she was the Queen of the home; her husband was wont to look to her for com fort, for consolation and for coun sel ; she possessed the full confidence of her sons, and they loved her with a devotion that few mothers enjoy; she was frank and sincere, and her friends loved her with unfeigned de votion. Well and truly did the Di vine writer portray her character when he said: She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household,and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. for two years she had suffered threat affliction, ana seldom left her room, yet her faith was unshaken, and as that dreaded disease, con sumption, fastened itself tighter she clug but the closer to her Master. To have been with her in her last hours was a privilege seldom offered in this life. Frail and emaciated by sickness, she was strong in Christ, and conferred a lasting benediction upon all with whom she came in contact. Though conscious that she was at death s dor, she enter tained not a doubt or a fear, and with her last breath was praising her Savior. On Sunday evening, i - i there occurred in her chamoer a scene which can never be forgotten, nnd on which angels could not fail to look with delight. Calling her boys and taking each by the hand, she gave them the assurance of a mother's love, and requested them to remember her in thu hour of temptation, and yield not; to do no thing without the answer of a good conscience, and the assurance that motlir would approve if she were living, and then, haying them kneel by her bedside, she placed her hands upon their heads and gave them a mother's dying blessing. After which she fell asleep. A beautiful consummation of a beautiful life. To the sorrowing ones we can only commend that religion which Lelia lived so well. It is their pri vilege to live as close to the Master ns she. May it also be their plea sure. Her pastor, Rev. R. II. Marsh, conducted the funeral service at her home Monday afternoon from the text which she had selecled, being 2 Cor. 4, 17. After which her remains were deposited in the cemetery at Oxford, followed by a long proces sion of sorrowing friends. A Friend. Street Parade Friday.

In speaking of the troupe Greensboro Telegram says: "A Jay From Jays ville, three-act rural comedy, was presented at the academy of music Saturday night to a fair sized audi ance. The play was full of fun and tne specialties were well rendered and well received. Special mention should be made of the trick hicvclA rider who delighted the audiance witn some ot his fancy riding. The play, however, is Dracticallv th same as "Down on the Farm" and the "Bowery Waif," which were presented in this city last season. The company's orchestra furnished excellent music. During the winter cf 1897 Mr. James Keed, one of the leading citizens and mer chants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va., struck his leg against a cake of ice In such a manner as to bruise It severely. It be came very much swollen and pained him so badly that he could not walk without the aid of crutches. He was treated by physicians, also used several kinds of lin iment and two and a half gallons of whis ky in bathing it, but nothing gave any relief until he began usin Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This brought about almost a complete cure in a week's time and he belieyes that had not used this remedy his leg would have had to be amputated. Pain Bilm is unequa'ed for sprains.bruia es and rheumatism. For sale by J . G. Hall Druggist. Coming. A. K.
