NOTES OF THE DAY.
THE LOCAL HAPPENINGS SERVED
IN SHORT PARAGRAPHS,
The Dlinor Events About the City as
Gathered by the Alert Reporters of
The Day.
The atmosphere has a suggestion of
ice in it today.
During the past ! few days several
visiting capitalists were in Oxford with
a view of making heavy investments
here.
The Oxford Land, Improvement
and Manufactuiing Company has an
office fitted up in the Bank of Oxford
building, on Herndon Avenue- W.
E. Borden is in charge.
The Republicans of Granville coun
ty are meeting in the courthouse this
afternoon to elect delegates to the
State Convention which will be held
at Raleigh on Sept. 26.
The Oxford Literary Society met
last night at the residence of Dr, M.
V. Lanier. There was a good attend
ance, and the exercises were of a high
ly interesting and instrurtive charac
ter. Four or five names were added
to the membership roll.
J. C. Hundley, who knows more
about waterworks than any other man
in Oxford, wrote two excellent articles
on the waterworks question. He pre
sented strong arguments in favor of the
improvement, strong enough to con
vince any man who is -open to convic
tion. Yesterdav afternoon's mail brought
orders for twelve hundred dollars
worth of stock in the Oxford Land,
Improvement and Manufacturing Co.
Good sales are being made daily, and
it may be necessary to close the sub
scription books'even earlier than the
day annouoced.
The contract cal's for the comple
tion of the Farmers' Alliance Ware
house by September 15, and Messrs.
Hundley Bros. & Co., the buildeas,
say they will have it done in time. It
is an immense building and a hand
some one. The Alliance has now
under consideration the erection of a
big brick prizehouse on an adjoining
lot.
Writing of the base ball game at
Winston Wednesday, in which Win
ston defeated Charlotte, the llvin City
Daily says: "But to Charley Jones
belongs the honor of pitching a very
fine: game. Although the ball was wet
he held the visitors down to two hits.
His most excellent capture of a hot
ground ball in his left hand was the
most graceful play in the game."
Charley's admirers gave him some
handsome presents, including a pair of
fine trousers and a box of cigars. Babe
Lanier, the finest amateur ball player
ih the State, caught Jones.
Seven Orphans Run Away.
The orphans at the Asylum are
much attached to Dr. Dixon and his
family, and part with them with the
keenest sorrow.
Some of the children show a disposi
tion to rebel, and because their belov
ed superintendent is to leave, they
want to leave too. Several runaways
have occurred in the past few weeks.
This morning seven boys disappear
ed and struck out for parts unknown at
present -Search is being made for
them, a d they will very probably be
found and brought back. : V
Manchaca, Tex., Jan. 23. 1890. .
Radam's Microbe Killer Co., Austin, Tex.:
After spending large sums of money for
the treatment of my daughter, who had
suffered intensely for five years with a
tarrh ofthe head and throat, without any
benefit whatevet, I was induced to try
your great discovery, the Microbe Killer,
and I truthfully state that it has entirely
cured her, after using one-half of the jug
bought from you a few weeks ago. Your
remedy is indeed the ''greatest discovery
of the age," curing as if by magic. I
cheerfully recommend it to suffering hu
uianity and advise all to use it.
Yours truly,
" J. S. WlLKINS.

Mr. Wallace O'Leary:
Dear Sir I wish to. say that I have
been a great sufferer from hay fever for
twenty-four years. I have tiied many
remedies without effect and found no re
lief until I heard of your wonderful reme
dy, the Microbe Killer, of which I never
heard until, last summer, and I immedi
ately commenced to take it. I have taken
Tour jugs. I got through the fall and win
ter without stopping wjrk, instead of that
fearful seige of suffering that has followed
me so many years, and I would like to
recommend this to all sufferers, feeling it
my duty in gratitude to Mr. William Ra
dam as the discoverer of this wonderful
remedy. I was also suffering of a severe
attack of acute rheumatism when I began
to use the Microbe Killer. Now all symp
toms of hay fever and rheumatism "have
disappeared, but I intend to keep it by
me so as to keep myself well.
I remain yours trul)-,
Miss Emma Stark.

It is given out by the census office

increase of 2,658 or 13.32 per cent.
lit is rumored that Durham is to
have a land improvement company
with a capital of 500,000,. and that a
$150,000 hotel is to be built on the
property.
The steamers City of New York and
the Teutonic are engaged in another
race across the ocean. They lett New
York Thursday morning within thirty
eight minutes of each other. The
Teutonic gained seven minutes on her
rival in the race to the ocean.
A Danville special says : A public
exhibition has been made at Danville
of a new machine for casing leaf tobac
co. It saves labor and sweetening,
and docs its work much faster and bet
ter than can be done by hand. The
machine is the invention of a Danville
man A.
WinstonNs always ahead, says the
Winston Sentinel, and then- explains:
"The telegraph wires were extended
to the base-ball grounds Monday and
this week, during the games between
Charlotte and Winston, an operator sent
the news to Charlotte at the end of each
inning. That's progress!" The Win
ston club won three straight games from
Charlotte
The Raleigh correspondent of the
Durham Globe relates this: A young
man of this town told me yesterday
that he had just been shown a photo
graph of another young man and a
young lady, taken just in the act of
osculation. It wasn't a snap shot either
the photo, not the kiss but was
taken deliberately at one of the sum
mer resorts. Is that the correct thing,
too?
Six hundred million dollars would
complete the Panama Canal by the
year 1910, estimates the New York
Sun. Before the year 1900 the cuts
already wrought upon that isthmus will
not have left so much as a scar. Fes-
toons of vines, well grown trees, a
matted jungle, flocks of noisy para
keets and troops of monkeys will be
the visible scene where France's mil
lions have vanished as one of its own
exhalations.
The Grant Monument Association
Executive Committee has adopted an
address to the people setting forth that
they will take no part in any discus
sion as to the removal of General
Grant's body from New York. The
fund amounts to $150,000. It is pro
posed to build with this a structure
having a finished appearance, and to
add to the monument as the funds in
crease. No design has, as yet, been
selected. A choice will soon be
made. 1
In October last the warehouse at
Rocky Mount, Franklin county, Va.,
was fired by incendiaries and burned
to the ground, together with several
oiner , Dunaings. j nere was
1 1 i 1 ' rni
strong
reason to believe that the building was
fired by negroes because the owners
refused to allow General Mahone to
speak therein and afterwards allowed
the Democratic speaker, to occupy it.
Four n egroes, Geo. Early, By rd Woods,
William Brown, and Woods
were arrested on suspicion, tried and
convicted, and sentenced to be hang

AN "ORDER OF BUSINESS."
LThe Tariff" Debate to Close on the 30th
--Final Vote by Sept. 5th.
Washington, Aug. 22. The con
ference committee appointed at last
night's meeting of Republican Sena
tors (Messrs. Hoar, Allison, Evarts,
Spooner, Plumb, Hale and Allen),
met this afternoon in the room ofthe
committee on the judiciary, and put
into form the resolution establishing

posed to adopt. The resolution pro
vides for closing debate on the tariff

being that a final vote will be had by
September 5th.) The measures men
tioned in theQuay resolution (includ
ing the pure food and lottery bills)

ment. . Tl.e election bill is to be made
a special order for the first Monday in
December, the day when Congress

is to be circulated among the Republi
can Senators, and when a majority
of the Senate from the Repub
lican side) have signed it, it

doubt than the requisite Senators who

lution asa substantial victory, as it will
require a change in the rules to permit
the previous question to be ordered on
the election bill,' December 20th.
