N. DAY. Jeweler, Commercial Avenue, - Oxford, N. C. WILLIAMS HERE. HE MEETS BROWER IN JOINT' DE BATE IN OXFORD TODAY. Tlie Radical Boms Said His Opponent Va Afraid to Meet Him in Granvill --Williams Cancels an Appointment to Disprove the Cheeky Boast. Congressman Brower repeated at Stovall yesterday tHe senseless charge that Capt. Williams was afiaid to meet him in Granville county. The idea of a brainy, courageous man, such as Capt. Williams, fearing to face before his own people an intellectual and frothy pigmy, such as Mr. Brower ! It is preposterous, and only a brazen braggart would have the cheek to say it. This outrageous boast of Mr. Brovv- er's was telegraphed to Capt. Williams and he cancelled his appointment at Stem for today and came on to Oxford. He engages in joint debate with the little Republican boss in the Opera House this afternoon. Brower counted on his opponent staying away, and he will be heartily sorry that he shot off his mouth so recklessly before the sun goes down this evening. j The Day will give report of the de bate in the next issue. Both Want Him. A fter copying an article from The Day to the effect that Rev. Joseph Rennie has accepted a call to give his whole time to the Presbyterian church in Oxford, the Chase City Progress says: While it is of course a source of much pleasure to Mr. Rennie's many friends and admirers in this community to see in what high appreciation he is held in Oxford, our people are quite as appreciative of his gifts and Chris tian characters as our North Carolina friends. The unusual ability display ed in"4he preparation and delivery of his.sermons and his earnest and con secrating labors in our town, have won for him here a reputation of which any minister might well be proud, and his work here has indeed been a most grand and successful one. It would be a source of most sincere regret, not only to the members of the Presbyter ian church here, but tr our entire community, should' it become necessa ry for him yo leave us. The church here has appointed a large delegation to appear before Ro2noke Presbytery, a called meeting of which will be held here on November 6th, and urge his retention as Pastor of the Chase City church, and every possible effort, finan cial and otherwise, will be made to secure this much desired result.

LITTLE LOCALS. The Minor Events About the City Served in Short Paragrphs. The new enterprises constantly started here show that Oxford is one of the liveliest of live towns. Rev. Joseph Renni;will preach in the Opera House torn irrow morning and night. if The Oxford Orphan Asylum is in pressing need of help.

The Oxford Land, Improvement and Manufacturing Company is gcing to make a success of that "hundred ;hou sand dollar cotton factory. They say - and what could be fairer? thacthey will refund to stockholders every cent paid in if the factory is not built and operated as promised.

S250,000 CAPITAL. THE MODERN TOBACCO BARN COMPANY, LIMITED. Articles of Incorporation Just Taken Out--Factories and Principal Office In Oxford. Score a quarter of a million dollar manufacturing enterprise for Oxford ! The Day mentioned some time ago that the manufacturers of the Modern Tobacco Barn, now of High Point, N. C., would remove their valuable plant to our city and largely increase their capital and business. D. A. Waters, W. H. Snow, J. B. Roney and D. G. Devenish, Philadel phia, Pa., and High Point, N. C, capitalists, have just filed articles of incorporation in the office of the Su perior Court clerk of Granville county, and were declared a body corporate under the name of the Modern Tobac co Barn Company, Limited, with head quarters in Oxford. The capital stock is $250,000, di vided into shares of $100 each, with the right to increase the stock to $500,000. It is set forth that the purposes of the company is to construct tobacco barns protected by letters patent; to manufacture tobacco sticks, hangers, baskets and barn fixtures; to manufac ture chewing and smoking tobacco and snuff; to buy and sell leaf tobacco; to operate foundry and machine shops, and .to manufacture all kinds of wood material. The various factories of this power ful corporation will be located in South Oxford. One of their buildings of brick, fifty by two hundred feet in dimension is already in course of erection. This is one of the biggest things in the State, and the credit of securing it for our city belongs to the Oxford Land, Improvement and Manufactur ing Co. a Cut Almost to Death. The Durnam Sun says that Thurs day night Silas Yancey, of Durham, a flagman on the O. & C. freight, walk ed into some place of business at Keysville, and in there he found two negro men in a hot dispute. He made some remark to them upon the foolish ness of engaging in any difficulty, and they turned upon him with their abuse. As he was leaving one of the negro men walked partly in front of him as if to prevent his exit, and whtn he reached the door, the negro whipped out a knife and, before Yancey could take in the situation, he was cut six times across the stomache. His assail ant ran after he did the cutting, and Yancey gave chase, running him a hun dred yards or more before he fully realized how badly he had been wound ed. He is now at Keysville in a very critical condition, and we learn the chance for his recovery is very slight. The negro made his escape at the time Yancey gave chase, but later in the night he was captured in the loft of an unoccupied building near town. When found he was asleep but armed with two pistols, a bowie knife and a shot gun. His arrest was made so quick he did not have time to use any of his arsenal. We could not learn his name. ; " - Houston, Texas, Junk 20, 1888.

A Delightful Evciiiiiv Spent at the Granville Institute. There is nothing that gives an Ox ford young man imore pleasure than an invitation to j a reception at the Granville Institute. He is sure to find charming young ladies, good music, dainty refreshments and a courteous welcome from the lady principal. Many responded to such an invitation on last evening. - . After a short time spnt in corner: sation, all participated in dancing the old "Virginia Keels." Then the company was ushered into a darkened room, where two apparently old and decrepid women Wei e stirring a pot, placed over a slow fire, and grumbling much that it boiled no better. One after another of the young people passed around and their fortunes were told, some good and some bad. On a sudden a few bright sparks re vealed the witches faces to be remarka- i bly beautiful, and the suppressed titter that followed vaj more like the laugh of merry young girls than that of hags. After one young man had been inform ed that he would "die in the pen;" another that he should, woo and win seven wives, and a third that he should be the happy father of nineteen chil dren, the party descended to the dining room and refreshments were served, which were especially enjoyable, as fair young hands had prepared them. After supper the company! repaired to the parlor, where the remainder of the evening was spent in music,dancing and conversation. The music was all enjoyable; the instrumental duet by Misses Hyde and Gregory was very fine. , '. It is on '"Hallow'een" that destinies are decided, and, ere this the partici pants have doubtless seen their life par ners in dreamland. j Rev. J. O. Corliss, pastor of the Methodist Church at New Gretna, Burlington County, N. J., writes very encouragingly as follow : Dr. G. W. Kirk. Dear Sir About four years ago I took 3 heavy cold that resulted in a stubborn catarrah. ItincreaseH in se verity, gradually extending downward to the pharynx and larynx, thence to the bron chia. The bacS part of my throat was cov ered with ulcers; my voie lost its strength and resonance, sometimes fading away into aspirations. Togo out into cool air was to be filled up with phlegm and mucous until it was no pleasure to leave the house. I tried remedies officinal and remedies pat ented, with no relief, the disease still In creased in maligance. Radant's Microbe Killer was suggested to me, and had some one other than yourself had charge of it I should have dismissed it from my mind. Having confidence in your judgment, I fell "there must be spmthing in it." ; A faithful use of the remedy has convinced me that there is saWationi in it for every catarrhat sufferer. I feelHmproved in every way, health much improved; voice strong, dis charges much less profuse, ulcers healed; hoarseness gone.can get a full breath of air in short, can say the remedy is all that is claimed for it.
