It is said that J uly stepped in the hottest on record, while June was the coolest. Elmwood Cemetery has been very nicely cleaned up, which adds a great deal to its appearance. Mr. James Paris, who has been Buffering with a severe attack of rheumatism, is much better. What attracts a man is one thing; what holds him and com mands his respects is another. Prof. Baker has laid on our table a cluster of eight irish potatoes, all grown together and is quite a curi osity. The Taylor-Cannady Buggy Fac tory has been greatly improved by a coat of paint, and presents a nice ap pearance. The Public Ledger works contin uously to build up Oxford, and would greatly appreciate the patronage of our business men, schools and others citizens. You can generally count on the man who is patient with children; courteous to women, likes music,and loves flowers. 11 boys and one man in Chicago took shelter in a little shanty out of a storm, lightning struck the shanty and killed eleven. Oxford has two less saloons, as Messrs. Coley and J. T. WTiley didn't apply for license and have closed their places of business.

The walls of the corridor of the Court House are being repaired and whitewashed which was badly need ed. We would be glad to see a nicestone floor replace that of the rough brick one and the offices equipped with up-to-date furniture. The editor lately has received quite a number of complaints from subscribers who fail to get their paper, and we trust the postmasters will be more particular as we do not desire to lodge complaints against them. Mr. S. L Howard, of the Berea feection, is taking the lead this year on curing tobacco. He is curing a barn of tobacco this week, and ex pects to put it on the market next week. It is the earliest we ever heard of in Granville. Attorney General Gilmer decides that the law does not give the State Text Commission power to prescribe intermediate books.

They are Disconsolate. Old Uncle Charles Lewis and Moses Gwen, two of Oxford's oldest colored men, are all broke up, disconsolate and sad and refuse to be comforted since the closing of J. T.

Oxford is still moving forward and new enterprises are being launched almost every week. A new firm has been organized and will operate du ring the coming season, which will add still greater strength and tone to the Oxford Tobacco Market, and will draw a still larger " patron age to this market. - . This firm will be composed of Mess. Walter Stark, R. T. Smith and Albert Crews, and will run the Owen Ware house during the coming season, re cently run by Mr. R. F. Knott. These j gentlemen will make a strong, hust ling team. They hardly need an in troduction to our people, as they are well known in Granville county. Our old friend Walter Stark is a warehouseman of varied and success ful experience, having had at least 25 years experience in the tobacco busi ness. He is well known all over old Granville eounty and also in Vance and other adjoining counties, having been engaged in the tobacco business at Henderson 25 years. He is a fine judge of the golden leaf, and knows the warehouse business in its every phase. Besides all this he is a gen tleman who enjoys unusual personal popularity, and possesses business sagacity. Mr. Stark has the confi dence of our tobacco growers, and will command a large share of their patronage and support. Mr. Smith is also well and favora bly known to our farmers of the county, and will add much strength to the firm. He has had much expe rience in handling the weed. He is popular, energetic and has tho repu tation of being the hardest man to get ahead of that drums tobacco from Oxford. Mr. Crews, the third member of the new firm lives near town and is one of the county's most successful plan ters. His sound business views, and strength of character will help to in spire confidence In the new firm. Altogether the team !s one well equipped for the business, each mem ber supplying the different elements of strength which Is so necessary in eyery business enterprise. The Public Ledger bespeaks for them success from the very start and a large share of the public patronage. Much success to these deserving gen tlemen. Pension Board. The Penson Board of Granville composed of Board of county Com missioners, Dr. S. D. Booth, S. A Fleming, J. G. Hunt, A. Hobgood and J. R. Buchanan met In the Court Room Monday morning at 9 o'clock to consider applications forpensions There was a large number present from all parts of the county, ladies and men, and naturally the work was slow and consumed three days Some 160 were examined and it is thought the pension roll will contain about 150 when fully passed upon. A Nice Hotel Would be a Winner. We are glad to know that the New Hotel Question is being favora bly discussed by many of our citizens and hope something will be done. A good hotel is one of the crying needs of Oxford and should be built. One of the editor's drummer friends was in Oxford Saturday and we tried to get him to spend Sunday in Oxford. f'Well," said he, "John I would, but the hotel is so poor here I am going over to Henderson to spend Sunday at Massenburg Hotel where the men of the road delight to spend Sunday. Oxford is a beautiful town and if she had a nice hotel would be a winner." A Beautiful Catalogue. We are in receipt of the elegant catalogue of Oak Ridge Institute, a school which perhaps is preparing and equipping more young men for college and for business than any school in the State. Fully one tenth of the young men receiving license to practice law and medicine last year were alumni of this school. The school has a magnificent plant in one of the most beautiful and delightful portion of the State. It is over 1,000 feet above sea level in full view of the mountains. The closing of the com ing year will mark the semi-centenial of the school. The Talented Music Teacher Will Remain in Oxford. Mrs. John B. Booth has returned to Oxford after an absense of four weeks. During which time she has secured Instruction in the latest and most approved method of both vocal and instrumental music. Mrs. Booth has recently been offered a very flat tering and lucrative position in Eas tern North Carolina. She declined the position choosing rather to cast her lot with the good people of Ox ford.

HAYS, Eminent Lawyer and Christian Gentleman Laid to Rest Oxford mourns the death of one of her oldest and most eminent citizens. On last .day of June, as the Sabbath, which had been to him, through life, an Holy day, was being ushered in, Mr. John W. Hays passed quietly from the scene of his earthly labors to "the rest which remaineth to the people of God." Since winter he had been in a weakened condition induced by an attack of gripp from whose effects he had not fully recov ered; several weeks ago this condi tion, complicated by other troubles, became so serious as to cause confine ment to bed, leading in the end to the climax of death. During all of his illness he had the loving and skillful care of wife, chil dren and friends, Avho have stood by his side anticipating every wish and ministering to all his needs. All that human aid and the solicitous atten tions of love and the profoundest re spect and regard could devise and suggest has been brought to bear in the battle with man's last enemy but to no avail, save in render ing as comfortable as possible the last hours of life and consciousness. A devoted son stood by his side throughout his illness ministering with the skillful and practised hand of the physician. Mr. Hays is so well known to the people of Oxford and the county and has been so prominently connected with the Bar of the State and with the Methodist Church that his life has been as an open book from which all could read, and all that is to be said of his Hie, Its works and strivings, is already known to those wTho had long looked upon him as an example among men. John W. Hays was born June 2nd, 1834, at Crowell's X Roads, Halifax county,N.C.,the son of Dr. J. W. Hays and wife.Margaret Banks Hays. The father, while attending a call, was thrown from his horse and sustained Injuries from which he "died shortly before the birth of the subject of this sketch. Mrs. Hays came to Oxford to live, nine years afterwards. Mr, Hays was the only child of this mar riage, though he had a half-sister, younger than himself, born of a sub sequent marriage of his mother to Mr. Grice, who now lives in Texas. Mr. Hays became a member of the Oxford Methodist Church In 1849, at which time Miss Sallie Duty, the esti mable lady who afterwards became his wife, also joined. He was a stu dent of the Horner School during several sessions, but was prevented from attending regularly by reason of poor health. When not at school he clerked In the store of Paschall & Hicks. Book-keeping he studied and mastered under the able guidance of his guardian, the late Lunsford A. Paschall. At the age of 18 or 19, in the class with Judge Thomas C. Ful ler and the late Governor Daniel G Fo wle, he studied law under J udge Pearson, at Richmond Hill, board ing the while with the family of the father of Miss Sallie Pearson, who afterwards became the mother of Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson Mr. Hays obtained license to prac tice law before becoming 20 years of age and has since remained a mem ber of the Oxford Bar, refusing all In vitations to move elsewhere and de clining judicial honors which might have been his merely by his consent ing to become a caudidate. He has held and adorned several responsible offices in the county, being Judge of the County Court in the late Seven ties and early Eighties, and Clerk and Master of Equity for many years and during the period covered by the civil war. The same ability and conscien tiousness which have marked his course through life characterized his conduct of these offices. March 23rd, 1859, Mr. Hays married Miss Sallie Duty, who survives him. Of this union there were 8 chiidren, the oldest and youngest of whom died In infancy, another, Dr. J. M.Hays, dying in 1897 in ripe young manhood and with honors and distinction al ready achieved. Five children re main: J. W. Hays, of Petersburg, Va.; Mrs. H. O. Furraan; Francis B. Hays, of New York City; Dr. Benjamin K. Hays and Mrs. Kate Fleming. Though prepared for his life-work in a day when such stress as is now laid on specialization had not been so clearly indicated, Air. Hays real ized that thorough preparation was essential. He had naturally the best weapons of the lawyer, clearness of vision and a logical mind. I have heard it said that his first argument lefore the Supreme Court at once at tracted to him the attention of its members and was pronounced a model of logic and directness; and at his last appearance lefore this Court one of the Justices remarked that his speech was a fine example of clear ness and correct reasoning and that his hearing was that of the dignified gentleman and lawyer. These ele ments have been characteristic of the man throughout life, not only as law yer, but in all his dealings with men His methods were those of a true man direct and straightforward. He had a fine scorn for the indirect and con tempt for those who sought desired ends through devious and uucertain courses. As, mentally, he reached his conclusions by logical and con nected reasoning, so In all the affairs of life he was guided by an unerring sense and appreciation of right. Mr. Hays had a better gift than oratory that of eloquence that true eloquence which is the embodi ment of high and lofty thought the eloquence which scorns devices and founds itself on truth and merit. His speech was a model of chaste and pure Euglish and exemplified in Itself the beauty and dignity of his life and acts. There are few Instances of such long and faithful service in the differ ent departments of Church work as that achieved by the departed. For 40 years his time and services have been given to the work of theBoard of Stewards of his church, and during about an equal time, with little In termission, he was the faithful and efficient Superintendent of the Sun day School. No man who Is tainted with selfishness could have left such a record of devotion of time and tal ent to the good of others, the wel fare, spiritual or otherwise, of his fel lows. He taught, during his life, In every Sunday School In Oxford and sung in all its choirs in days when services were not as regularly held as now. The desire to keep abreast of the thought and trend of the times was with Mr. Hays until the end. He was a faithful student of the achievements in Science, Religion and Theology and an Intimacy thus srained cave him liberality of views In such mat ters and great catholicity of taste. A strict and devout Methodist, he was willing that others should differ with him in matters of doctrine and gave to each credit for that sincerity which was his own. The remains of the departed were laid to rest with Masonic honors Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock, the following acting as honorary pall bearers: Dr. M. V. Lanier, Col. L. C. Edwards, Dr. L. C. Taylor, Dr. D. C. VV hite, Dr. 11. C. Herndon, Col. R. O. Gregory, Capt. A. F. Spencer, and Mr. V. L. Mitchell. The active pall-bearers were: Messrs. W. B. Ballou, A. A. Hicks, Willie Landis, S. W. Minor, J. C. Horner and Willie Z. Mitchell. A large concourse of friends and ac quaintances, among them many visi ting Masons from a distance, met at the residence, where brief exercises were conducted by Rev. A. McCullen, pastor of the Methodist Church, and afterwards accompanied the remains to the Cemetery, where the Masonic funeral exercises were conducted by Grand Master B. S. Royster and Dr. II. H. Marsh, Chaplain. The latter spoke beautifully and feelingly of the life and labors of the worthy dead, after which the mortal remains of John W. Hays were committed to the dust from which they came Memorial services will be held next Sunday In the Methodist church, when addresses will be delivered commemorative of the life of Mr. Hays and his work in the different spheres of activity which elicited his efforts. To those who knew him, the purity of his life, the unselfishness of his every actt the beauty of his Christian character, the quiet dignity and calm demeanor which sat so naturally upon him as to seem, as indeed they were, inseparable from and a very part of himself, will always remain as a beautiful and cherished memory. The Influence for good of such a life and career as were his can never be properly appreciated here eternity only can determine their true value. With the stricken family all Oxford mourns and tenders its tribute of profoundest respect and honor. F. P. HOBOOD, Jr., July 2nd 1901. It Dazzles The World.
