Our Usual Rain Wednesday was a very hot sultry day, and in the afternoon had our usual 24th rain, which was a blessing. to the swelter ing crowd of people. One Drunk In the large and or derly crowd in Oxford on Wednes day we never saw but one man "un der the influence of liquor ,and he was too full for utterance. - 300 Automobiles -It is estimated that 300 automobiles were in Oxford on the 2 4th, and making an average of five to each machine, they brought to the town 1,500 people alone. Backed off Track On Wednesday while one of the excursion trains on the seaboard road was backing on the "Y" the end car went off the end of the embankment at rarnam s Mill.

Pleasant Visitor-Our sanctum was invaded last Saturday, by Noel Bros, the pleasant and versatile editor of the Roxboro Courrier. They are wide-awake and progressive and are doing a good work for Roxboro and It was a fore gone conclusion from the very first that Granville county would be ably represented in the legislative halls. The farmers want ed one of their number to represent them in the Senate and they made no mistake in "placing Mr. Titus Currin and Dr. Meadows on the ticket. They are both fine men and they conducted their campaign on a high moral plane, and each of them are stronger to t day than when they entered the campaign, Mr. Titus Currin winning out over Dr. Meadows by 59 only votes. Mr. Currin is a progressive, pros perous young farmer, ms elegant estate near Oxford takes on the shape of a model farm. It is said of Mr. Currin that whatever he does he does well. He is chairman of the Gran ville County Board of Education and is ever on the right side of any ques tion for the material advancement of his beloved Granville. - Mr. Currin possesses an intuitive mind. He is thoroughly posted on all public measures of the day and has the hap py faculty of grasping and holding the concrete facts of a questionThis senatorial district is fortunate in hav ing Mr. Currin in the Senate. " The old sterotyped phrase, "logical candidate,", does not apply to Mr. D. G. Brummitt. His sound practical Directors of Granville County Fair Association Elected Mr. Eugene Crews Secretary of Fair HE WILL IMPART LIFE AND VIGOR The Granville County Fair Associa tion some ' weeks ago elected Mr. Eugene Crews secretary of the Fair to fill the position made vacant by the resignation of Prof. J. F. Webb. The election of Mr. Crews was kept a secret, more or less, on ac count of the campaign, he being a candidate for Register of Deeds. Mr. Crews is a progressive young man, possessing the knowledge and energies necessary to develop and strengthen the Fair along all lines. As a chain can be no stronger than its weakest link a Fair can be no stronger than its Secretary, Mr. Crews takes hold of the Fair at a time when it is in splendid shape. He is entirely familiar with its strong and weak points and he will devote his entire time and ener gies to round off the sharp corners and strengthen the weak places. Backed by a splendid Board, it will be Mr. Crew's aim to make the Gran ville County Fair second to none in the State. The Public Ledger joins Mr. Crews in his high and laudable undertaking, and we, extend to him and the Fair Association our best ef forts to develop the Fair, and by so doing J the resources of town : and county are enhanced two fold.

Mr. and Mrs. Ghoison returned a few days ago from their Northern bridal .tour and are receiving the congratulations of their many friends. Our old friend Wyatt Bradford, of Henderson., was among the large throng in, town Wednesday and his pld Granville friends extended him the glad hand. - . One of the prettiest weddings of the season was solemnized Thursday night at St. Stephen's when Miss Martha Ferebee became theride of Mr. Leonadas Taylor. That the af fair was of social importance was shown by the fact that the church was crowded to the doers long before the time for the ceremony and large numbers of people stood outside to catch a glimpse of the bridal party as it entered. The church was beautiful in its . decorations of white and green and the altar was a dream of beauty in its arrangement of ferns as a back ground for the party Mrs. Cape heart played the wedding march as the bridal party entered to its famili ar strains. The ushers, Mr. J. C. Cooper ,of Fayetteville; Mr. W. L. Mitchell, Mr. D. K. Taylor, and Dr. Morehead Emmett, of Richmond, entered first, followed by two groomsmen and two bride's maids in the following order: Mr. A. H. Taylor and Mr. J. L. Tay lor; Miss Josephine Brown and Miss Nett Gregory; Mr. J. A. Taylor Jr., and Mr. B. T. Smith, of Wilson; Miss Mary Webb and Miss Annie- Gregory, of Stovall; Mr. N. M.. Ferebee, Jr., then came the dame of honor, Mrs. M. C. Taylor, in a gown of pink crepe meteor, with bouquet of lavender sweet peas. The maid of honor. Miss May White, in a' lovely pink crepe meteor gown, with Dutch cap, carried a bouquet of pink sweet peas, as did all the pretty bride's maids, preceded the bride. The bride made a pretty picture as she entered, wearing an exquisite gown of charmeuse, court train, with or ange blossoms and pearls, with a con ventional veil and carried a huge bridal bouquet. The groom with his best man, Mr. M. C. Taylor, en tered from the vestry. Dr. N. M. Ferebee, father of the bride, gave his daughter in marriage. and Dr. -Horsneld. the bride's pas tor, in the beautiful and impressive service of the Episcopal church, made them one. . " - . - The reception at the home of the bride immediately after the vows were taken was a, delightful affair and Mr. and Mrs. Taylor were charm ing entertainers. The guests in cluded the friends of the contracting parties , and not the least of the at tractive feature of the evening was the display of wedding presents that so aptly testified to the popularity of the young couple. Immediately after the reception Mr. and Mrs. Taylor departed for Henderson in an automobile where they took a fast train for the North, the objective points being New York, Boston and Niagara Falls. On their return to Oxford they will be the guests of Mr. Taylor's parents until their lovely home, which is now un derway, is completed. . The bride is the youngest daugh ter of Dr. N. M. Ferebee ,a retired Naval Surgeon. She is of that olive, hazle-eyed type of Killarney, famed in verse and "song. She .-; possesses many fine and noble traits of charac ter and is universally popular in the" social circles of Oxford, Norfolk, Tar- boro and other places where she has been frequently entertained. The groom Is from that good old Granville stock of the Taylors that have been identified with best inter est of Oxford and the county - for more than a generation He is a prosperous young business man and is popular in the business and social life of Oxford. .. . Among; the out of town guests were: Mrs. Kennon, of Norfolk; Mr. and Mrs. Stamp Howard and child-, ren ; Dr. and Mrs. Green and Miss Clark", of Tarboro. v CARD QF THANKS To the Voters of Granville:' It would give me pleasure to thank in person, every participant in Satur days primary, however as that is. im possible I take this method of ex pressing my appreciation. Knowing Joe Renn and Eugene Crews as I do, the honor could not have been great er. I desire above all else for those who opposed me to know that I have only the kindest feelings toward them. For those who made it possi ble for me to be nominated, I wish to extend a heart full -of gratitude. Saturday's expression of your confi dence has aroused the desire, "if it be in my power," to serve the county with greater zeal. ; , I shall endeavor' to discharge my duty in such manner . that no one shall regret : selecting me as his choice.
