DEATH OF MR. J. A. PEACE
AVOld Landmark of Granville Falls
on Sleep
Mr. Joseph A. Peace, on old land
mark of Granville, fell upon sleep at
Fairport Tuesday night in the 87th
year of his age.
Mr. Peace, was never married, and
he and an aged sister lived together
in the Fairport home. He was of
kind, - gentle disposition and was ' a
follower "of the Lowly One.
Mr. Peaee was.one of the very first
subscribers to the Public Ledger and
was always -prompt to renew. For
many years ; he v ?.s a subscriber to
a number of magazines and daily
papers, whicTi he carefully read and
there were few men n the county
more familiar- with current events
than was he in the days of strength
and vigor.
The deceased is survived by several
"relatives in .Granville county. The
funeral and burial services were con
ducted Wednesday by Dr. Horsfield,
rector of Sk Stephen's Church, Ox
ford, and the interment was in the
family plot ,at Fairport. -

1915. Sixteen students, by right of
distinction in classroojn studies, were
admitted to the honor" list.
j- The grade of not. !es sthan an aver
age of ninety per cent on all studies
is the accredited basis. The freshmen
and the high schools .they attended

bring honors to Carolina colors.
NOTED MEN WILL LECTURE
The Woman's Civic Club Has Secured
Drs. McBrayer- and Stiles For
Lectures
The Woman's Civic Club has secur
ed the two noted physicians, Dr. L.
B. McBrayer, of Sanatorium, and Dr
Chas. Stiles, of the Marine Service,
Washington, D. C, to give Health
Lectures in Oxford the latter part of
this month. There are no two phy
sicians in this country, who are doing
a greater work than Dr. McBrayer
and Dr. Styles, and in bringing them
to Oxford, the Civic Club feels that
much may be done to better the
Health and Sanitation of Oxford.
The Club has also secured the ex
hibit of the State Board of Health,
which' will be placed in some conspic
uous and central place in the town,
early this Spring. The tuberculosis
exhibit in connection with this is
splendid indeed; Health Bulletins on
Tuberculosis, The Fly; the Mosquitoe
and Whooping Cough are being dis
tributed by the Chairman of Health
of The - -Woman's Club, and Anti
Spitting cards are being placed in
conspicuous places.
The club earnestly appeals to the
citizens of Oxford for their support
and co-operation in the work for a
Healthier, Cleaner Oxford-
CIVIC CLUB.

HAT10RAL
Pres.
Card From Editor Hart.
Editor of Public Ledger: , ' ;
In your paper of Wednesday;- last;
you carried an account of my incar
ceration, which, I think, is not an
adequate account, of the matter, and
with your permission, I would like to
add thereto just a little.
It would appear from your account
of the matter, that I voluntarily in
carcerated myself. The facts are
-these: .Of course, judgment was . se
cured against me jointly with the
Crredmcor Publishing Company at
November term of the Superior Court
of this county. Judgment was issued
against the company on that judg
ment and subsequently .it was thrown
into bankruptcy and the property of
the company sold, this occuring the
16th day of January. From the pro
ceeds of the sale $805-00 was deriv
ed, a large proportion of which is to
to be applied to the settlement of the
judgment of the court. My incarcer
ation, instead of being voluntary, is
the result of an execution issued
against me by Mr. V. T. Cheatham,
the plaintiff in the suit- The sheriff,
'tis true, did not have to go to Creed
moor and bring me to jail, but on
last Thursday, he phoned me that he
had an execution against my person,
and asked me w at ti'-ie would be
more convenient for me to come,
Friday or Saturday, and I asked hiii
to let i:e have untW Saturday to ar
range my business and that I would
then come without putting him to
the trouble to come for me. As a
result, of the judgment of the court,
the Creedmoor Publishing Company
was put out of commission and I am
inicarcerated. That is the sum of
the matter. Than1;ing you for the
privilege of your columns, 1 5 am,
Vours sincerely.
JOHN E. KART.
Inaugural Ceremonies
