As the holiday season is at hand farmers bring your tobacco to Ox ford if you are in search of the cream of the market on all grades.

Nebraska, will make a polit ical change in the senate. It is the belief that Ex-Senator Allen will be appointed be the governor to fill va cancy.

One of the queer sights at the Federal Court at Raleigh (which, by the wav, looks like a moonshiners' convention) is a man dressed in woman's clothing. He wears a big black hat, has a moustache, wears a dress made all in one piece like that a child wears; has white stockings and heavy brogans. A kodak fiend would go into raptures oyer the spectacle the fellow pres ents. He is a witness in court. At a meeting of the State Dem ocratic State Executive Committee in Raleigh on Monday last by a vote of 24 for Raleigh and 17 for Greens boro', decided to hold the State Convention in Raleicrh. It chose April 11th as the date. Chairman F. M. Simmons presided. All the members save two were represented. The Chairman made a stirring ad dress, in which he spoke of the need for an early convention and the speedy initiation of a great cam paign. There was entire harmony of action, and old members say they never saw greater unanimity of sen timent. THE NODEKH MOTHER Has found that her little ones are Im proved uioro by the pleasant Syrup of Figs, when in need of tLe laxative effect cf a gentle remedy, than by any other.

Mrs. John Meadows has broken up housekeeping and is boarding with Mrs. J. F. Meadows. The walls of the new Methodist church are nearing completion, and will be quite a handsome house of worship when completed. A lamp has more sense than people if it is in a room where there are two souls with but a marrying thought it invariably goes out. Repeating a story to the discred it of your neighbor without know ing to it oe true is almost as Dad as giving currency to a known false nood. Our friend R. L. Hamilton has returned from Chapel Hill, and will be glad to see his friends at Han cock's drug store during the holi days. Messrs. John G. flall,F. W.Han cock and John P. Stedman, our three enterprising druggists, have display ed in their store, an extensive line of Christmas goods. The Oxford Tobacco Market is still on the top round as to high averages, and if our farmers will look well to their interest will be cer tain to sell on our warehouse floors. The National Committee of the Silver Republican party in confer ence in Chicago, decided to join force in 1900 with the Democratic party, provided the "right men are nominated." We call attention to sales of lands by A. W. Graham, Trustee, and S. W. Minor and F. P. Hobgood,Jr., commissioners, also Executor's No tice of Henry and George Kersey in another column. After an absence of several years the Congressional Record has made its appearance in our office, and we thank our honored Congress man, W. W. Kitchen, for the kind ness extended to us. On the second day of Congress Representative W. W. Kitchen intro duced a bill for the erection of a public building at Durham. We truly hope he will be able to get it through this session. After the arrival of the capital new engine bought by the town, the rock crusher did not run but a few days before it broke down, and no more rock can be crushed until it can be repaired. If you want to see a fine display of jewelry go to the store of W. D. Lynch. Now guods arriving every day suitable for holiday and wedding presents. His line of ster ling silverware cannot be beaten. Walter Jones, of Person county, while out hunting Saturday morning, killed two foxes and a deer. Ad Wilkins, of Mt. Carmel, is said to have killed an eagle recently, which measured five feet from tip to tip. Tavlor, the Republican candi date for Governor of Kentucky, has been awarded the certificate of elec tion, and Geobel took it good na turedly. There was no blood spilt and all is quiet and the Blue Grass State will be under Republican rule for another four years, and the Dem ocrats are to blame for it. Mr. M. H. Justice, a prominent Western Democrat of Rutherford county, is a candidate for the nomi nation for Governor. The Public Ledger is for Julian S. Carr for United State Senator and C. B. Ay cock of Goldsboro, the great orator and statesman, for Governor, and we predict their nominations for the high offices. It is a strong team and will be hard to down. The San Francisco Ministrels, which appeared at the Opera House Thursday night was decidedly the best that has held the boards in Ox ford for years, and should haye had a large house. It was quite different from the average Ministrels, and was up-to-date in every respect. From start to finish the program was entertaining, and the music was good. Chief Day has rounded up sev eral more of the boys during the past week for shooting off "Dav and Wheeler Wakers," and Mayor Minor made them shell out a few silver wheels for the fun. But there is one thing that should be stopped that of shootting dynamite Two dynamite shells were exploded in the rear of the Court House shattering a number of window lights, but they were put back in by the patties. Sunday last onlv two of our churches were opened for worship, the Episcopal and Presbyterian. The latter was crowded Sunday morning, and the honored pastor, Rev. A. S. Caldwell, preached an eloquent as well as an able sermon to the edification of the large con gregation. Rev. R. B. Owens, the rising young Rector of the Episcopal church, and who is quite popular, en joyed a large congregation and gave them the benefit of a most excellent discourse. The Durham Sun Says: In the death of Capt. John A. Williams, Friday evening, Oxford is called upon to mourn the loss of one of her most esteemed citizens one that was formost in all good works for his town and State. He was a scholar, and wielded a fluent pen, contributing much to the press of Oxford in the '70's. Long may we search before we find a heart more brave, more manly, charitable and kind, bending downward and cir cling in the benevolence of hs good nature all within the touch of a long and successful career. His kindly influence live in his speaking dust. C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1899. At a meetiner of Town Commis sioners Monday night it was decided to allow fire crackers to be popped Christmas night until 12 o'clock. They made it $25 fine or 20 days in prison to shoot them any other time. Mr. Samuel W. Worthington of Wilson, and Miss Lucie Outlaw, sister of Mrs. W. H.

On December 4th a marriage took place in the yard of Mr. Spark Milton, of Tally Ho Township, about twilight beneath the blue canopy of heayen, where a number of young people had assembed to witness the hurried tieing of the knott between Mr. Cannon Johnson and Miss Delia Thomasson. There was considerable excitement about the affair as the groom had stolen his bride, and de sired ttie ceremony performed at once and remained in the buggy while L. L. Crews, J. P., performed the ceremony. As soon as they were declared man and wife the bridal party left for the home of the groom where a bountiful supper was served. A prosperous and happy life is the wish of their many friends. Deafness Cannot be Cured. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu tional remedies. Deafness is cured by an in flamed condition of the inncous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the mflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused bv catarrh. whieh is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hondred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, freee. F. J. CHENEY. & CO.. Toledo. O.

Sold by dealers in all civilized countries. fir. ilarcellous Ross Dies from the Effects of a Blow Monday, A most distressing affair, which we more than regret to chronicle, occurred Sunday morning near Wil ton, resulting in the death of Mr. Marcellous Ross. From the best information we can gather Mr. A. E. Bobbitt, one of our best citizens,when applied to by Ross some time back for the loan of a dollar promptly complied with his request. On last Saturday morning Mr. Bobbitt sent over to Mr. Ross for the money by a negro boy as he lived close by. This seemed to have made Ross very mad, and Sunday morning soon after breakfast he went over to see Bobbitt about it, and found him in the yard near his cow lot. Ross asked him why he didn't send an order for the money? Bobbitt replied because he did not think it necessary. Ross then re marked: "I have the money and you can't get it." Bobbitt replied in substance that it was Sunday morning and did not want to have any difficulty with him and would give him the dollar. By this time they were standing near the road when Ross commenced to curse aud abuse Bobbitt. Ross stoop ed down and picked up a rock in each hand, advanced on Bobbitt saying "I will kill you," and then threw one rock at him who dodged it, Ross continued to adyance on Bobbitt trying to hit him with the other rock. Bobbitt seized a stick and warded off the blows as best he could as Ross continued to adyance on him, and finally when Ross crowded him so close he hit Ross on the head with the stick and he fell to the ground without a word. Mr. Bobbitt tried to raise him up and called for assistance and set him in a chair, when fiually some of Ross's family carried him to his home. Dr. Henderson was immediately sent for to attend the wounded man, who lingered some 36 hours and passed away. A post mortem examination was made by Dr. S. H. Cannady and he found that his skull was fractured which resulted in his death. Coroner Hobgood was noti fied Tuesday who went and held an inquest, summoning the following jury : Joe Gooch. A. F. Breedlove, 11. 1). Horner, Eugene Morris, C. K. Gooch, J. T. Usry. General B. S. Royster appeared for Mr. Bobbitt, and after a thor ough examination of witnesses the jury returned the following verdict: "That Marcellous Ross came to his death by a blow dealt by A. E. Btfbbitt in self defense." Mr. Bobbitt is one the best citi zens of Southern Granyille, a progressive young farmer, quiet and peaceable, while on the other hand it is said Mr. Ross was of a quarrel some disposition, especially when under the influence of liquor. To say the least it is an unfortu nate affair, and eyery one knows that friend Bobbitt had no idea of inflicting a death blow to Ross. Mr. Bobbitt and the family oi the de- ceaced have the sympathies of their neighbors and friends. Now is your time to select holiday and bridal presents. We have them some thing good and useful.

Onit.fi a l&ri?e number of tobacco growers met in Raleigh Wednesday, and discussed the situation or rais, ing tobacco, and the low prices at whieh it is selling. Many opinions were expressed in regard to tobacco combines, and a leaf tobacco trust was suggested but no action was taken on that matter, n was uecm ed to hold a convention in Raleigh on the 17th of January. In the mfifl.ntime it was decided that on the first Monday in January county con ventions be held in all tne toDacco counties to appoint delegates to the State convention. It is to be hoped that the tobacco raisers of Granville will hold a meet ing and send delegates to the con vention on the 17th of January, in Raleigh as we fully believe it is within the power of the producer to force the American Tobacco Co to pay living prices for all grades of tobacco. Mr. M. L. Coley, of Dutch ville, was the only representative from Granville at the meeting last Wednesday. ACROSS THE THRESHOLD. YOU KNOW SOME, BUT NOT ALL. They Will Come and Same.
