Mr. Sam Averett had on exhibi tion in Oxford a few days ago almost a white partridge he had killed out of a covey. It was a real curiosity and attracted a good deal of atten tion. ivnston Free Press: Between COO and 700 children are registered in the several schools in Kinston, 410 being in attendance at the white gradded school and 175 at the color ed graded school. Invitations are out for the marriage of Miss Ola Crews and Mr. Grah am Smith, two popular young people of Tar River section, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Crews, Wednesday, Nov. 8th at 4:30 o'clock. Dr. CoggeshaU was called on Friday by Prof. Gentry to ampu tate one of the fingers of one of his educated monkies. The doctor ad ministered chloroform and made a nice job of amputating the finger. Brother Coley, of the Orphans Friend, keeps himself exceedingly close these days and must be putting in some hard work on his paper, as we rarely ever have 'the pleasure of beholding his fair and genial coun tenance. A thriftv tarmer in .InVmcrnn county heard of the great reputa tion of the Oxford tobacco market. and last week drove 02 miles to try our market. He sold with Messrs. BuUock & Mitchell, and was pleased with his prices. The old Johnson and Z. W. Lyon are still humming right along and selling tobacco just the same and reach the cream of the market. Tney sold a load a few days ago for Mr. A. L. Veazey for $5,10, 7.50. 7.- 50, 14 25. 20 and 30. The ball keeps rolliner and the Public Ledger grows more popu lar each week, as we added 11 more. subscribers to our list since th last issue. Among them are rm from South Carolina. one from TVxnc and one from Virginia. Everybody, little and big. who attended the Pony and Dog Show of Prof. Gentry Friday in Oxford are enthusiastic in their praise of the performance. It was un- doubtly the best show of the kind that eyer pitched a tent i oed Did you ever think that you don't help your town at all when you send off for anything you can get at home ? When a man in any business sends his money out of town he is diverting that much from the channels of his business and it neyer comes back to him. The Ladies Aid Society of the Episcopal church are quite busy pre paring for their annual Bazaar the latter pait of this month, and it is their intention to make it surpass anything they have had. Mrs. Thos. W.Winston will be the manager, and our people may look out for an en tertaining program. The Public Ledger this week is almost entirely in the hands of our correspondents, and we gracefully yield the palm to them. They dis cuss varous subjects, besides giving the news from different sections. This feature of the paper is the cause of thePuBLiC Ledger being so widely read and sought after. The sip-n of the PUBLIC LEDGER succumbed to the wind Sunday night and ceased to swing to tne breeze, hut don't foreret that we are rattling awav at the same old stand trying to build up Oxford and fcguting tor tne intftrpst of the trust afflicted farmers of our dear old county, who are the Public Ledger's true and tried friends.

Stem, on Wednesday Nov. 8th, at 7:30 o'clock at the Methodist church, Stem, N. C. Ot course there will be a large number of friends present to witness the plighting of vows between these pop ular young people. The series of meetings that had been going on for a week at the Methodist church closed Sunday night. Rev. M. H. Tuttle was assist a,1 hv Dr. Nash, of Warrenton, who preached some very able sermons. Rev. Tuttle occupied the pulpit bun day morning and night and delivered two of the ablest sermons in the cause of the Master that have been listened to in a long time. The farmers of this county should keep an accurate account of all farm products raised this year the acreage, yield, etc. This for the information of the Census Bureau, which will expect it next June, when the census enumerators will be around and all questions relating to the products of the soil will be asked, and North Carolina and Granville county should make the best showing possible. The largest and best five cent pencil writing tablets can be found at Hancock Drug Store. OXFORD, N. -me xiorner uadets will enjoy mi tt uance j? riaay nignt. -We call attention to the adminis trators notice of J. B. Roller else where in this paper. Squire S. V, Ellis, who has been confined at home on account of sick ness for several days, is better. Read the sales of lands by Mr. J. G. Hall, trustee, and J. G, Pittard, trustee, under mortgage in another part of this paper as you might be interested. Messrs. J. B. Rnll r anil T Royster are so far this season the cnampion bird hunters. A few after noons ago they went out and bagged 02 partridges. Owing to a leak in the roof of the Odd Fellows Building the down pour of rain Monday did some dam age to the beautiful hall of this great and beloved order, which is now so prosperous in Oxford. Our Town Fathers have pur chased a fine 20 horse engine in Erie, Pa.-, and will arrive here in a few days when the rock crusher will be gin to hum again. The next thing needed will be a high grade rock crusher as the one now in use is too small. Large quantities of tobacco con tinues to be sold daily in Oxford, and Saturdays and Mondays have become good sales days. It is an undisputed fact that cannot be head ed off. Oxford is a regular winner on high averages all the year round. Farmers be true to your home mar ket and sell your tobacco in Oxford. During the rain storm Monday night the wind blew down the old prize house near the old depot be longing to Mr. Hart, of the Ameri can Tobacco Company. It ha3 been in a shaking condition for sometime. It also blew down a tree on the side walk on College street, in front of the Methodist Parsonae-e. breaking down a portion of the fence. We take pleasure in calling at tention to the advertisement of the shoe shop at the Oxford Orphan Asylum in this issue of the Public Ledger. Firstclass work is turned out there, and seek the patronage of our people, which we hope they will receive. Prompt attention paid to all orders and satisfaction guaran teed at the lowest possible prices. Remember the Orphans when you need any work done. The Herald Square Opera Co, are unable to fill their engagement tonight (Wednesday) and will.bj ucto o&kumav auu present tne r Chimes of Normandy at night in the Opera House. Admission 75, 50 and 25 cents. They give a matinee Sat urday afternoon and present Said Pasha, and the admission will be 25 cents to entire lower floor. Let the people of Oxford give them a rousing house as it is not often that we can get an Opera Company to come to our town. Mr. W. R. Garner and family, of Grissom, are now numbered with the citizens of Oxford and the Pub lic Ledger extends them a cordial welcome. Mr. Garner is a fine blacksmith and Messrs Edwards & Winston have erected for him a splendid shop nearly in rear of their hardware store. Mr. Garner seeks the patronaee of our people and we take pleasure in recommending him as a first-class workman and a clever gentlemen. Read his advertisement in another column. The Chatham Record is rierht in saying Neither the press nor the people ot JNortn uaronna win en dorse the action of the directors of the penitentiary in not removing Summerell, the overseer or superin tendent who has been proved to have treated the convicts so cruelly and brutally. All humane persons will endorse the five Democratic direct ors who voted for his lemoyal. It seems like adding insult to injury for the directors to haye passed a resolution declaring Summerell's cruelty w.as merely "a mistake!" Rev. Walter A. Pattillo, Pastor of the First Baptist church, and principal of the Colored Graded School in Oxford, has quite an in dustrious family. While he preaches and teaches his children cultivate quite a good farm and are rewarded for their labor. Tbey made this year 84 barrels of corn besides a quantity of potatoes, peas, beans, etc. Walter A. Patillo, Jr., unlike many of our young colored men teaches and in the Spring closes his school, takes his father's horse and plow and leads the rest of the children through the farm during the summer. Rev. Pa tillo says he believes there is a living here for all who will avail them selves of the opportunities afforded them to work if they will only start in time and continue during the year. During the wlmr of 1897 Mr. James Trt nf t.h Ipftdine- citizens and mer chants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va., struck his leg against a cane oi ie m bucu 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 u ,tii ha hfioran nsin Chamberlain's Pain Balm- This brought about almost a complete cure in a week's time ana ne belieyes that had not used this remedy his leg would have had to be amputated.

I . flONIED MEN HELP OXFORD Are you Willing to Sit Still and Let the Town Oo Down ? Editor op Public Ledger: The aianuracturer 8 Kecord reports 13 new enterprises started in 12 differ ent towns in North Carolina last week ! It Las been making similar statements weekly for months past. kjtiii me name oi uxrora nas never appeared in the list. Why not ? Inquiry amone the farmers elicits the information that nothing meets j witn tavorable consideration m this community that would furnish a market for any other product than tobacco. The small merchants re port that they stand ready to sub cribe according to their means to any new industry that will result in a pay roll every Saturday night. The capital to be had from this source is necessarily to- limited to establish a plant successfully. This leaves those who control the finan cial strength of the community to be heard from. That there are those among them who are willing and ready to aid in progressive movements goes with out saying, yet every effort that promises to end in the establish ment of a new industry that would make a demand for farm products other than tobacco, fails to mate rialize. (It may be remarked just here, that the number of tobacco buyers decreases at about the same ratio with the prices received; figu ratively speaking it might be termed a triangular market, in which by suitable manipulation all three cor ners appear as one. ) While the writer does not under take to explain the true inwardness of the circumstance the following statement will serve to illustrate the situation: Several months ago a large man ufacturing company in New York offered to send shirts cut and par tially made in sufficient quantities to keep three hundred hands con stantly employed in sewing them together, if the citizens of Oxford would raise ten thousand dollars: one third of the sum to be invested in sewing machines and steam power to run them, and the balance used to carry the pay roll and other expen ses necessarily incurred during the 1.Z . 1 J Va. OU11 to : were shipped from New York and the time they were returned and paid for. The matter was thoroughly look ed into by two of the ablest and most conservative merchants in the town, and pronounced by them a feasible project, with a minimum risk one that would give employ ment to many who were anxious for it, yield a reasonable interest on the investment, and put $500 and up wards every week in the hands of those who need it most. This sum would eventually be distributed 1 A among merchants, rarmers and others who bring and market the supplies for daily needs, thus every citizen within a radius of twenty miles would be directly or indirectly benefitted. An amount a little in excess of what was required had been prom ised to start a similar enterprise, but as soon as a definite proposition, en dorsed by the judgment of two lead ing business men, was laid before these gentlemen a chill seemed to strike the backbone of the assembly. One who had expressed much inter est in starting something withdrew his subscription entirely, another more influential party cut down his subscription one half, and his exam ple was followed by several others; a few days later three others sub scriptions, and the next day a fourth were withdrawn as the result or a prominent official of the bank. About this time rumors or a pro jected cotton mill began to pour in and arguments were rife that a cot ton mill would bring more blessings to Oxford than any other kind of a factory possibly could. The aboye Financial Institution gave out that $70,000 of the capital could be had in Ouford township without counting on what the peo ple in the country would contribute, and that $100,000 was to be secured from Durham, and even building sites were discussed. This, of course, was a "knock out" blow to the shirt factory. As to the cot ton factory (?) possibly a micro scope might find it. There are those who giye to the common welfare the same consider tion they do to their private inter ests, and all honor is due them, and "there are others." There are those who have accumulated property from trafficing in the crops of the farmers: others who make an inde pendent living by trade in provid ing for the wants of the country dependent on Oxford for supplies 1 . i lit these have a lust and legal ngnt to enioy the fruits of their intelligence, but there goes with it a moral odu eration to the community where they have attained success to extend to other less fortunate, openings to better their conditions, and to help the county people from whom their innnme chiefiv comes to a market that will absorb eyery variety of product, from the dairy to the field crop, that they can bring to town ror sale. lhere is also a duty to growing youth to provide business opportu nines that young men may not be driven away to earn a hying, but remain under home influences, that the traditions of the past may be perpetuated. To picture the final result of dis regard of these pertinent 'facts is unnecessary. Louis de Lacroix. . Saved His Life. Mr. u. j Henderson, Poolvllle, Texas writes us as follows: My wife had been troubled many years with constipation. She used nearly all kinds of remedies, but failed to receive any benefit until she tried Ramon's Pills and Tcnlc Pellet?, sold here by W. I. Bullington. She is now in better health than for a long time. We use no other. VY. I. Bulllneton. Dnifre-ist.

Bring us a load to Durham and drive straight to the Farmers' Warehouse and Meadows, Council & Cozart will see that vou eet the cream of the market on all grades. A Oood Meeting. The Union Meeting of the Flat River Association, held with Island Creek Church on the 28th and 29th of October was an unusually inter esting meeting. It was not very largely attended because the pro gram was not published in time for the meeting to be generally known. The meeting was organized by the appointment of Bro. B. F. Hes ter as Moderator. It was opened by religious exercises conducted by Rev. J. S. Hardaway. All the Queries of the program were discussed except one. Inter esting and inspiring speeches were made by Brothers J. S. Hardaway, F. P. Hobgood, J. R. Pace, D. L. Woody, a: W. Hancock, J.H. Long, B. F. Knott, P. B. Sneed, C. Gor don and the Moderator. The speeches of these Brethren were aboye the average on such oc casions, l he meeting was intensely interesting with one single excep tion. There was a Derson nresent. who become so deeply interested in ed some of his views to far. When bis zeal cooled down he regretted his mistake. Look at the snbscribed initials and see who he was. The Union was entertained by the church and community handsomely and with ease and pleasure. We noticed with pleasure that Is land Creek Church has made some needed improvements by putting the pulpit platform in better shape, covering it with carpeting ana sup plying pulpit chairs, A neat and tasty pulpit takes the place of the old unsightly one. The church is well supplied with new (jospel Hymn and Tune Books, one of the few good hymn books now in use. J. A. b. Prevented a Tragedy. Timely information given Mrs. George Long, of New Straltsville, Ohio, prevent ed a dreadful tragedy and saved two lives. A frightful cough had long kept her awake every night. She had tried many remedies and doctors but steadily grew worse until urged to try Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle wholly cured her and she writes this marvelous medi cine also cured Mr. Long of a severe attack of Pneumonia. Such cures are positive proof of the matchless merit of this grand remedy for cruing all throat, chest and lung troubles. Only 50c and $1.00. Every bottle guaranteed. 'Inal bottles free at J. G.

This beloyed lady Passed away Wed nesday. Mrs. Bettie Hundley, the beloved wife of Mr. W. S. Hundley, and only child of Capt. A. F. Spencer, fell asleep Wednesday morning, after several weeks suffering from the effects of a carbuncle. We are called upon to chronicle the death of a pure christian woman whose remarkable traits of character suggested a perfect woman, nobly planned. She was greatly beloved by all who knew her. kind and considerate neighbor and friend, and a consistent memhftr of tho Methodist church. She leaves behind a loving hus band, a grown son and dan 0 liter and a aged father to mourn her demise, to whom the sincere sympa- tmes or our community go out in the tenderest manner. In the last battle of life whirh she braved with a heroine's courage, the sweetness of a saint, appeared the same characteristic snirit. with which she met all the trials and sor rows that fall to the human lot. Days and weeks of pain and weari ness were appointed unto her, but the sufferer grew weary at last and as tie was passing by, she reached out her hand and "touched the hem of his garment, arid was made whole froju, tAoCfrsflBrioin;? and lov ed ones, let us say, "make her mem ory joyous." It is the beautiful memory of a triumphant life, serene in the grandeur of its patience,graci ous in the might of its conquest. Ihe funeral will take place this Thursday morning from the Metho dist Church at half-past ten o'clock. How'Thl!
