This excellent man and useful citizen died at his residence near Oxford, on Tuesday evening the 27th of June, aged 59 years, 6 months and 17 days. Mr. Hunt was a son of the late John Penn Hunt, of Granville county, and a great grand son of JtjfirT'ej)a one of the signers of the National Tjeclarption' of Independence 0 He had been for about 38 years a mem ber of the Methodist E Church at Salem, in Granville county, having embraced religion in the year 1838 under the preaching of Rev, Hezekiah G. Leigh. His life from that time to the day of his dath was a conspicu ous example of christian rectitude. His piety was deep and earnest, his character lofty and pure. He was firm in his convic tions and inflexible in his adherence to the line of duty. He was a man o( remarkably clear head and sound understanding. His opinions were always valuable and his coun sel was often sought by those who needed a safe adviser in matters of difficulty. His heart was large and full of tender sympathy for those in distress. His charity was un demonstrative but it was a charity that did not fiil, and many a tear will be wept over his grave by the widow and orphan, to whom he proved himself so true a friend while living. Mr. Hunt had been in feeble health for several months and for about fivt weeks before his death was confined to his bed with an attack of dysentery twhich was pn vailing in his family. Often daring his sick ness he said that he believed his end was nigh, and calmly arranged all bis business preparatory to his departure. Shortly be fore his death lie called his oldest son to his bedside and charged him with wise and anx iotts counsel as to the life he desired him to live, and the example be should place before his younger brothers and sisters, and amongst other things exacted of him a promise never to engage in any business that required him to deal in intoxicating liquors. Mr. Hunt died with perfect composure soothed and sustained with an unfaltering trust in the merits of his Redeemer. As his jjnd drew near he refused to be stimulated, laying he wished to face death with an unclouded mind. For him death had no terror and the grave was but the portal thfough which he passed to a better and brighter" world. He leaves a widow and a large family of children, and a very extensive family con nection. His funeral waureached at Sa lem church to a very large congregation on Wednesday evening the 1 8th inst, by Rey. L. K. Willie, from the text Mrthew 7 chap- 3 J ve;se "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." Large let of first-class writing pa per for sale cheap at Mitchell & Sons. The Grand Centennial Promenade a Decided Success. . A flow of mirth from everybody and pleas ure hanging 'round loose. As previously announced the Grand Centennial Promen ade Party was given at the 'Oxford Hotel on the evening oT July 4th, 1876. " An early hour found the spacious hall room crpwded with the beauty and elite of Oxford and Granvillei About o o'clock . the music struck up" and the Promenade be'gan. The music was good, the ladies lovely, pretty and fascinating.and the gentlemen agreeable. The flow of laughter from each and every person was a sure sign of 'enjoyment as all tripped the light fantastic as if they had danced in the days of olden time. 'Twas grace in every motion, - Music in every tone. Beauty in form and feature, Thousands might covet to own ; Cheeks that rival spring roses, Teeth the whitest of pearls : Our Oxford and Granvi ladies are worth A score of your city girls.' The managers exerted themselves to make all see a jovial time. But now it has come and con?. We are confident that never be fore has such an : occasion beeni enjoyed so much by our young people. Certainly not by us. ' Our pen fails to describe the ever to be remembered centennial evening. A few of the old people were present, but dull care seemed to have left the brow of maturer age while they witnessed the sports and enjoy ments of the rising generation, . and seemed as if they wished time to turn backward in her flight, to those long past days when life's young dream was with them of a roseate hue and 'all went as merry as a marriage bell." "Laugh and be merry while you may And let the dance go on." It was a pleasure to us Id-See the vast num ber of ladies and gentleman in attendance from the country and neighboring villages. May all that were there live to be present on the next centennial 4th. "Should old acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind ? Should ould acquaintance be forgot, And days of o' lang syne." The Celebration. The celebration of the Centennial fourth of July in this place was a decided success, An immense concourse of people was in town. It was the opinion of many persons that the crowd was larger than any ever be fore brought together in Oxford. Stanley's brass band lrom Raleigh was on hand and headed the procession .which moved from the Masonic Lodge on Main street, to St. John's Oiphan Asylum. " Long before the procession reached the Asylum all the seat. in the spacious chapel were occupied, and when the crowd did arrive they swarmed into the chapel through every available opening until seats, aisles, jassages. ros trum, gallery, doors and windows indeed every place, where man or boy could sit, stand, or hook on, wa filled almost to sufio cation. The day was excessively warm and it was impossible, to keep so large a crowd perfectly quiet . amidst such uncomfortable surroundings, and the readers and speakers therefore labored under the disadvantage of having to strain their voices in erder to make themselves heard. . The exercises in the chapel were opened with reading of the Scriptrres and prayer by Rev, L. K. Willie. The Mecklenburg Declaration was then read by Col. Amis and the National Declaration by W. H. P. Jenkins, Esq; The Teading of both these gentlemen was clear, distinc, full and impressive each cne prefacing his reading with appropriate introductory re marks. - Mr. Kingsbury then followed with his Historical Address. We have neither time nor space this week to say all that we would like to say about this address. It was sim ply admirable in all respects. It was rich in historical lore relating to the early settle ment of the county and its subsequent pro gress. Many of its passages were very fine and very eloquent, and as a contribution to that part of North Carolina history, in which the citizens of Granville county are most in terested, it is invaliable. 1 We have in this issue of the Torchlight begun the publication of this address, and will print a large edition of the paper in or der that the demand for it may, to some ex tend be supplied. But we wish to see it published in more convenient form for pre servation, and hope that arrangements will be made at once to have it printed as a pam phlet. Every family in the county should have a copy and its contents should be made a part of the education of every child that can read. I I - Mr. Kingsbury occupied about two and a half hours in the delivery of the address and then omitted a great deal that his manuscript contained " . We have heard but one opinion expressed of it and that was of the highest praise. We know that Mr. Kingsbury must have bestowed much time and labor in its preparation, and we should be glad if the people of Granville were disposed to mani fest in a substantial way their appreciation of this effort to : perpetuate the memory of their ancestors and the deeds that made so many of them famous. The celebration was a decided success, and we trust that the new springs of patrio tism that were opened on that day may flow on and gather force and breadth with the years to come until all bitter memories of the past shall be swept away by its current, and the union of the States shall again be come as in days of yore, the boon and pride not only of every American but of the whole anglo-saxon race. As to the ball at night, the writer did not attend it and he does not know who did. Some account of it will perhaps, appear elsewhere in these columns. BLadies in want of fine letter paper and envelopes, music, &c, should call at Mitchell & Sobs. ; The Oxford Torch -Light has entered up on the fourth year of its existence. From a small loxl2 monthly at Flat River, in Or ange county, is has grown to be one of the largest and best Democratic weeklies in the State. It is now, the only paper m Oxford, with the exception of the Orphans' Friend, notwithstanding the large number which were recently published there,- JtcUigh Era The Radical "Pow-wow" of '76. BY OUR SPECIAL REPORTER. According to announcement, delegates of the Radical ranks from the . various town ships met in the Court House on Saturday jnly . 1st, for Jhe purpose of appointing suitable men to represent : Granville in the j Republican cohvention which convenes in Raleigh July 12th: At 12 o'clock promptly, the Court House bell pealed forth loudly its notes of invitation and the political hubbub began. "Meeting called to order by W. H. Young, chairman. H. T. Hughes appointed as Secretary to record the names of the dele gates from ' the variolic Townships, all of whom respond id promptly and evinced much interest. - -.. - ' Mr. Young then . arose and appointed Crosby, from Henderson, to act a! chairman pro tem. Croshy took his seat with much pomposity, after refering to his notes, select ed Chas. B, Cole as Secretary pro tern. W. H. Young then explained the object of the meeting and moved that one delegate be ap pointed from each Township on credentials. except from Oak Hill township (which had two "sets of delegates) to examine the claims in order that the delegates 'might be fail ly represented in the convention. Then the hub bub commenced which last ed for six hours, interspersed with harangues by . Cuffy Mayo, Jordan Potter, Edmond Royster, John Ragland, & Co. The chair man appointed a 'committee on credentials which retired to the grand jury room. ; Ex- Sheriff Moore springs to his feet, very indig nantly, and quite enthusiastically and says (amidst unearthly yells and howls) I won't let this meeting ,be governed by proxy.1 It is a shame and I won't stand it. I won't see these poor negroes, who are without money be cheated in this manner and the'r rights trampled upon. (Great applause.) In a moment everything was in a perfect wreck, general confusion and discord, diver sity of opinions and loud outburst of senti ments, Jordan Potter quoting the bible and singing 'psalms,- when Jno. W. Betts emerg ing from the crowd, leaped upon the high est summit of the railing and vociferates loudly, "I move sir, Mr. Chairman that no body shall speak but delegates. Deal out fair justic to all. These Republicans ought to be ashamed of themselves. Oxford has been ruling this county long enough. ; The voice of the people is not heard. I want this county to have a hearing and a fair and square nomination. I move sir that two of these colored gentlemen be appointed" as po lice and keep this bar cleared and from jump-. ing over the racing, and let us sir, transact our business for the day is fast passing and I know every cood Republican will so to work and let the rest get out of the bar J"? Bill Hayes fully concurs with Belts' and says let us have a peace officer and arrest the whole crowd. (Very great disturbance.) Much hurrahing and ejaculations by -; cast away Republicans, Cuffy saying every body has aright to speak." Hughes can be heard from the desk why can't I be heard for jFisb- ing Creek. Geo. Rogers from Kittrell next comeS to the rc nt and declares aloud that the great convention at Cincinnati to nomi nate the head officials of this nation never had the confusion and twisting of tongues that this little meetirg here to-day to send delegates to Raleigh are having. jFl low citizens listen to me. . I want to see my race elevated. I am working for the Re publican party. I am looking after my own country. Make men of yourselves. ! The delegates don't mean to do anything Wrong Have no stump speeches and be quiet. ; Hays and Williams on their feet contending for their rights, showing much excitement and barbarity of language. Dave Spencer j leaps aver half a dozen benches with the yell of an untutored beast and screams from th bottom of his stomach, I will call my whole people to come and carry dis republican party thro. We won't submit to it likes of things am going on. Dick Jones gives him a hunch wirh his stick, Dav- stops,;1 tke crowd hurrahs and there are pleasant grins in their ranks. ' i ; ti Dr. Taylor being appointed chairman of the committee on credentials, nominated Mack Hawkins of Kittrclls, for chairman of this meeting. The cry of not in order is hurled through the house. The Dr. stands firm upon his feet and says I am in order. ! I am in order and 1 will contend for it. j Out of order again is the cry. Iam not out of order. Tell me how I am out of order. will be heard (much animated) Mr. Chair man, listen at me a minute, I want to make one remark, I say listen. Much howling and cry out out of order, intense confusion and growling. ; I came here to do my duty and that yellow scamp crying Out of order I don't kuow who he is, but this concern was concocted at Henderson and I wanted to tell you but that yellow scamp v ouldn t listen at me. The Dr. was very much ex cited. Jordan Potter singing psalms, Cuffy. Mayo with the head of a screech owl and the eyes of a bat, pounced upon a bench. Jordan Potter is loudly called for and hiss- ingly responds : j I "- ' Fellow citizens I is a preacher and I is publican preacher and I deals in scriptur. is going to shed the.scriptur ' on you to-day, so listen, dis is de same old Jordan, old Pot ter who has been a publican from the first mancipation down to dis day. I want dis congregation to listen. Dis is no secret or ganization, but we find in dis convention are rings. - Look what a condition Granville county is in to-day. Did the Democrats do it ? Nor ! Did the publicans do it ? Yes ! It becomes us publicans in this coming cam paign to wipe out all stains and put brand new men in office. Let us come together in one body and be uminimous . Let us over come the devil and his whole host of Eng land. Look at old Jordan Potter. I stand just the same. 'Give us justice and we won't be hilt. The same man that made you made me. But how superstity is a Demo crat. Here is a handkerchief I is had for four ye rs, but I got it onesily and never r.ole it neither. When Hargrove fout he foat as a democrat and fell as a democrat, but rose trimblmgly a true publican, and the foundation of the flatform which stained him then stains him now. (Correct.) In his pro fession as a publican he has served his time as attorney general farly and squarly. Sheriff Moore when the storm came between tie parties, says, "stand back boys, I will shel ter you as a hen do her chickens," and God grant that his seed may take root downward spring up in the name of God in hi glory and honor. He is the father . of publican ism. ' He is our next sheriff. God bless him. nut ye Democrats shrink back that are not bora of God. Amen. Here the applause was tremendous and continual and loud burst of laughter from the sable and motly crowd around, when like a mud-turtle one Bell pokes himself forward and squirts Silerce ! This "is a great year, a year that no one ever seed before. - The time has come when the ignorance as well as the wi;e must spe&k. But I am surprised at youv calling upon a man of my ignorancy to address you. -I am an old and tried republican. , Wheeler of Ohio is to be president. - Hayes has laid down his life for you colored people and all he asks is ybur votes on election day. Hayes is the man that fought and l ied for you on the hills and valleys of Virginia. He is the man arid go for him. I think Moore is our next Sheriff and stand firm in the republican party and I advise all of you to vote for him although some atb trying to kick him out of his own party. Gov. VsEct, the old God of the war, and any man that will vote for him is a fool and if I vote for him myself I is a fool. , If scalawags and carpetbaggers vote for old Yance it will be worse for them than in the days of Sodom and Gomorroh. That man said the other day at Durham that he was going to bury the republican party lace downwards and if they ever scratch out they wculd ' land in hell or China. , This old North State is republican and the republican party is the colored man's friend and if Hayes is not elected there is gwine to fee another war.

I will cite one instance where they even try to defraud theinsanr. -The In sane Asylum is crowded so that Mary W. Kinton, a lunatic, cannot be placed there. The State allows some person $ioo per year, to take care of her. This Mrs. Martha Kinton has done. She asked the commissioners for her pay. Dick Jones, the chair man (and chief fraud) of the body (of which he has a good d.eal) goes to Raleigh and collects the 100, charges the county $14! for his trip, (when 5 cents w.ouM have answered) comts back, gives Mrs. Kinton a county order for $ too (worth 50 cents in the dollar) and puts the money in his pocket. This is the way the vile rascals are preying upon the hard earnings of others." ' Why does Mr. Dick Jones hold that money back ? Why does he not pay it ? Rumor says he has the money at home ready to pay at any time. Why does he keep it at home? These are questions we would like to have answered. , The Oxford Torch-Light has recently en tered upon the 4tn year of existence in a high state of prosperity.
