The Minor Event About the City as Gathered by the Alert Reporters of The Day." There was a Republican speaking in the courthouse last night. About this time Parker, the coal dealer, does a rushing business. Our contractors cannot get the rail reads to haul lumber fast enough. If- 1 -v t r nave yuu registered 11 not, go and register at once. Do not put it off logger. ' The Oxford Literary Society will meet tonight at Prof. F. P. Hobgood's residence. v The weather is cool, sunshiny, brac ing an agreeable contrast to that of yesterday. The framing of R. VV. Winston's leaf tobacco factory and the parsonage of the M. L. Church, Oxford station, are up. There will be a called communica tion of Oxford Lodge, No. -106, A. F. & A. M., tonight. Work in 2nd degree. There were not enough coaches on the excursion trains on the O. & C. road to hold all the people who want ed to go to the State Fair. A number of Republican candidates left in buggies this morning to speak in the country. The big talker in Granville on that side is Capt. Rutus Amis. The Granville Grays Cornet Band will play ta few tunes on the streets to morrow afternoon. The organization is oung yet, but it makes good music and promises to be a credit to Oxford. This is going the rounds of the press : "In taking the census of New York the policemen found the oldest woman in the world. Sbe was born a slave near Oxford, N. C, and is now 118 years old. She is deaf and blind now, but bids fair to live several years longer." The State Chronicle said yesterday, in describing the State Fair; "The Oxford Orphan Asylum has a general exhibit of the articles made at the institution, including brooms, shoes, &c. The display is in charge of Miss Josie Batc'.ielor. It is a fine and creditable exhibit of manufactures." Some unknown parties rocke I the "excursion train near Stem last night. Fortunately no one was hurt. The night previous a rail was put across the track, about the same place, but the cow-catcher knocked it aside and no damage was done. Every effort should be made to discover these miscreants and bring them to the bar of justice The severest punishme.it of modern or ancient times is not half severe enough for these villians. He Is Ready. B. M. Overton, who recently open ed a large stock of general merchan dise in the Cozart Building on Com mercial Avenue, announces in this is sue of The Day that he is ready to serve the public and invites an early call. He has a big store full of de sirable goods, and he does not pro pose to be undersold by anyone. Mr. Overton is a live merchant and merits a liberal natronatr-.-. which no doubt he will get. About Oxford. The Progressive Farmer says: "Ox ford is a great tobacco market, and a great dtal of the weed is manufactured there, too.
