Tli Jllnor Ercuti About the City as Oaf he red by the Alert Reporters of The May. Usual prayer meeting at the Metho-! dist church tonight. The Democratic primaries for Gran ville county will be held tomorrow. A heavy shower today, and one that came in good time for the grow ing crops. ; One half of the year 1890 has joined the rolling tide which sweeps backward into eternity. The electric light may not be turn ed on as early as usual tonight, because of an a cident to the boiler at the plant. - An entertainment to raise funds to complete the " new colored Baptist church was given at the Opera House last night. ' We understand that some quiet and effective. work is being done towards getting a storage tobacco warehouse for our city. The installation of newly -elected officers takes -place at the regular meeting tonight of Oxford Lodge, No. 103, I. O.O. F. j Travelling men say that Oxford and Oxford's boom is talked of everywhere in the State, and this jis today the best advertised town in North Carolina. Mr. A. Crews was so unfortunate as to have a. horse and a mule die yester day. This is a positive contradiction of the old story that a mule never dies. There are quite a number of trees in town that have dead limbs on them They should be properly trimmed, or some serious accident may befall some one. The electric lights were turned off last night at one o'clock, just as the curtain dropped after the performance at the Opera.

Didn't Meet Lst Night. , Owing to some misunderstanding the janitor went off last night with the keys of the courthouse in his pocket, and the meeting relative to the Wet- more Shoe Factory was not held.

Correspondence of The Dav.; " Mrs. Flem Hart'gave birth to three male children last night. Dr. J. B. Williams was in- the vil lage yesterday. Mr. J. T. C. Norwood with a party of gentlemen from Henderson caught nearly a bushel of fish in Island Creek Saturday. The voice of the first Katy-did of the season was heard last Wednesday night, which is said by old weather prophets to mean frost Sept. 25th. Crops of tobacco and corn are well advanced and look most promising. The many friends of Hon. A. H. A. Williams are anxiously expecting the usual summer sojourn of his interest ing and exceedingly clever family at their pleasant country homestead near here. . The game of marbles is quite fash ionable on our streets. x x x. i Blcyle Riding. Correspondent of The Day. Editor of The -Day. -Since the arrival of two bicycles in Oxford sev eral horst shave been feared by them, and has caused a feeling of prejudice to arise. Some of our worthies aretrying to influence the commissioners to prohibit the use of a bicyle within the town limits. It does seem odd and strange that while bicycle riding is not' interfered with in any town or city in the Union, that some people should want to stop it here. The sight is strange to the horses now,bnt they will soon become accus tomed to it; just like those , of our citizens who,seeing a "wheel" for the first time, stand with open mouth and exchum that they had "seen pictures of them thar things before," will get used to it after a while. There are more bicyles in use in Washington and other large cities than there are men, women and children in our town and township. When baby carriages were first introduced, number of horses took fright at them and ran away. The little carriages are passed by unnoticed now, and it will be the same with bicyles very soon. l.

We understand this entire delegation is favorable to the nomination of Winston; The Raleigh Chronicle says it "sin cerely grieves to record the death of Rev. Turner Myrick Jones,A.M.,D.D. , at his residence in Greensboro yester day. He had been for nearly forty years a prominent figure in the educa tional life of the State. He was born Franklin! county, June 4th, 1819. He graduated at Randolph Macon Collegr, and afterwards taught in both Warren and Franklin counties. In 1852 he was licenced as a local preacher of the Methodist Episcopal church, and in 1853 he was elected Professor of Math ematics and Ancient Languages in' Greensboro Female College, In 1854 he av3 elected President of that far famed institution." Death of Col. Henry Eaton Coleman. News-Observer. South Boston, V., June 28. Died, atjhis home, in Halifax connty, on June -25, 1890, in. the 54th; year of his age, Col. Henry Eaton Coieman.

In 1862 he was appointed to staff position, serving as an aid to Gen. IversoD at the battle of Gettysburg. In the fol. lowing winter he was appointed Col onel of the 12th North Carolina infan try and was desperately wounded in the battle of Spottsylvania, having been shot in the head. - He received a wound in that engage ment which disabled .him from further duty anil rendered him a cripple for life. Hestruggled on and 'suffered un til three weeks ago, when he left the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad office and sought his wife's home only to take his bed,' and on last Wednesday, the anniversary of the fight at ' Staunton River bridge, and in the same room where for months in 1864 he hung between life and death, with his wound ed knee,th is weary life ended and that.
