OCT. 25TH 1913 f MTU A CREDITABLE DISPLAY TOE mk GRANVILLE COUNTY COLOR ED FAIR PUBLIC LEDGER KM --j s . y . . Display Shows Much Good Judgment and Energy The Granville County Colored Fair brought " together over two thousand of the industrious colored population of the county on Wednes day and Thursday of this week. It was a most orderly crowd and it was not necessary for the chief of police at the Fair grounds to speak to a single individual. On Wednesday morning Dr. J. A. Morris was introduced by H. P. Cheatham, and his talk along agri cultural lines was heartly received. Dr. G. C. Shaw, president of Mary Potter school, followed Dr. Morris in a strong speech, urging the colored people on to a still better fair. The Mary Potter school exhibit of fancy work was very neat, em bracing some very large pieces of drawn work and embroidery. The exhibit of needle work was very large and elegant. The exhibit of bread, cakes and nick-nacks shows that the colored people know how to prepare those tYnngs to perfection The farm exhibits were very strong. eapeciaWy those of J. P. Mancum and Buck AHen. And the general tspay of farm products was equally as good as that of the Granville County Fair held last week, and it is barely possible that they surpassed the white people on the tobacco display. The display of poultry.swine and stock was rather short, but what they had was very creditable. In conversation with Dr. Shaw and some of the other members of the Executive Board they expressed themselves as highly pleased with the progress of the Fair this year. On every hand one could see an honest effort on the part of the colored people to excel. ThePubilc Ledger extends congratulations to the Granville County Colored Fair Association for the fine showing they made this year, and we wish them continued success. "Shepherd of the Hills." Gaskill and Mac Vi sty announce for production at the Orpheum Theatre on Friday night, October 31st, Harold Bell Wright's drama tization, Mr. Wright was collabor ated with Elsberry W. Reynolds. 'The Shepherd of the Hills" is a story of humor and pathos told in a simple, direct manner, of love, mystery and heroism, with its scenes all in the Ozark mountains. Southern Missouri, where the author lived and preached for some years. There are several ex citing incidents, including the night ride of the splendid heroine over the hills through a storm; an attack upon the shepherd, and the moral victory of a man when a pan ther is about to spring upon his ri val, but there is no melodramatic touch to the play. Entertainment at Penny Hill There will be a Halloween enter tainment at Penny Hill. 'Tis harvest time o' year 'Tis a rich harvest too And tho the night be drear Let us to Halloween be true. And to Penny Hill let's all bring A pocket full o' nickles and dimes To catch the apples on the string And see the freaks of ghostly time.

Jones, who attend ed Horner's institut&at Oxford 43 years ago along with Col. William Henry Osborn and Robert W. Lassiter, dropped into the treasury department this week to look after some business matters affecting his present home state, Wahington. Mr. Jones was surprised as he walk ed into xhe commissioner of internal revenue's private sanctum to be greeted thus: "Well I'll swigger! Tom Jones! Where in the world did you come from ? I havent' seen you since,we used to play 'hookey' at Horner's." "Why, you ain't 'Due' Osborn, are you?" The commissioner ad mitted that along back in '71 he was known by that name. In a few minutes "Bob" Lassiter came in and the three "school boys" began talking of old times around Oxford. Neither of them had met in 43 years. Tom Jones had gone west and made a fortune, Colonel Osborn had been rather successful in life, and Bob Lassiter had be come president of one of the lead ing banks in his section. Jones has promised Colonel Osborn and Mr. Lassiter that he will visit Horner's with them in the near future. ' - ALL RECORDS SMASHED.

Fresh from the principal New York Theatres, who perform the remarkably fine play "Nancy" at the Orpheum Theatre Monday, Oct ober 27, is bound to be accorded well deserved triumph. Its vivid scenes of realism and thriling situ ations, its irresistable humor not only charms and delights but stimu lates the brain. Performed by an excellent company, the piece is bound to pack the theatre. Miss Daisy Cameron so well known for her well deserved success as one of New York's most popular favorites, enacts the role of "Nancy",, and the praises she has received for her excellent rendition of the character are enough to prove that she is in the front rank of the best actresses in America. Miss Cameron is also an excellent vocalist having created many of the principal roles, in some of the most successful musical comedies performed during the past few years in New York. She will by special request introduce in the play some of her latest song hits. Miss Frances Aldrich who performs "Nancy's wayward sister ' 'Flora' has received enough praise for her fine impersonation of the part to turn the head of any actress. The theatre goers of Oxford will be delighted with her remarkable talent, also with the merits of the entire company who have been the means of making "Nancy" one of the finest and most successful plays in America.
