Valuable Acquisition to Tobacco Market It Is a pleasure to us to inform our farmer friends that we will have an other large buyer on our market the coming season in the person of Mr Henry Vaughan, an exceeding elever gentleman of Richmond, Va. He was in Oxford Tuesday and completed ar rangements by renting the Hick's fac tory building as a stemmery and will ;quip it with improved machinery. He will buy largely and will be a great addition to our tobacco mar ket, and Public Ledger joins the far- mers and Oxford people in extending -.a to Mr. Vaughfin a hearty welcome to OUT town, A BRILLIANT WEDDING. Mr. Claud Cheatham and Miss Cora Win ston Weds at Youngsville. On Wednesday morning July 17th, 1901, at 11 o'clock Mr. Claud Cheat ham and Miss Cora" Winston were married in the Methodist church by Prof. W. B. Royal of Wake Forest. This was one of the most brilliant social events ever witnessed in our town and the popularity and general esteem in which the contracting par ties are held made it more than local interest. The church was most beau tifully and artistically decorated with ferns, ivy and potted plants of all dis criptions which made a scene of rare beauty and loveliness. Mrs. H. B. Winston presided at the organ in her usual admirable manner and as the soft and melodious notes of Meudelsshon's Wedding March an nounced that the bri jal party had a,r- rivedevery eye wasturuedto vvardsthe door and the utmost silence reigned over the eager and expecting assem bly first came the ushers: Messrs. D. W. Spivey, T. F. Cheatham J. D. Timberlake and G. M. Perry down either asle and took their places at the altar. The attendantscame in the ollowing order: Mr. J. B.Perry with Miss Hattie Ferrell, of Raleigh, Major Landis, of Oxford, writh Miss Mamie Morris, of Franklinton, Mr. Joe Cheatham, of Franklinton, with Miss Zeulah Holmes, Mayor Allred with Miss Eva Minor, of Oxford, Mr. A. V. Bobbitt with Miss Emma Wren, of Mt. Airy, Mr. R. E. Timberlake with Miss Berdie Cheatham, of Oxford. Then the groom proceeded up one aisle leaning on the arm of his broth er, Mr. F. A. Cheatham, and the bride up the other on the arm of her sister, Miss Mary Winston. At the alter they joined hands and while the beautiful and impressive ceremony was being performed "Remember Me," was ren dered in the sweetest tone. Imme diately after the marriage vows had been spoken the bridal party retired in reversed order and were driven to the depot where they took the Flor ida Limited amid a large shower of rice and best wishes of their many friends for a pleasaut trip. They will visit Washington, Buffalo, Niagara Falls and other points of interest on their tour. The presents were numerous, costly and useful, coming from all parts of the State attesting in eloquent deeds the love and popularity which the two enjoy. Among the most valuable being a check on the Youngsville Bank for one thousand dollars pay able to Mrs. C. C. Cheatham which was presented by the bride's father. Aliss Cora is the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ii. H. Winston and is much admired for her loveliness and kindness of heart by a large circle of friends all over the state. Mr. Cheatham was formerly of Ox ford, but for the past several years has been connected with the Youngs ville tobacco market, and as senior member of the firm of Cheatham Bros, has met with much success as ii popular warehouseman and enjoys the confidence of the entire communi ty. He is one of the directors of the Youngsville Bank and is one ,of our most popular town commissioners. Mr. and Mrs. Cheatham have a host of friends throughout the State who will join in wishing them along,hap py and useful life and that their pop ularity and esteem which they now enjoy will increase as the years go by and that in their old age they may look back and review a life most hap pily spent together is the sincere wish of their friends. Mr. and Mrs. Cheatham will be at home to their friends after August 1st at Riddick Hotel, Youngsville. S. E. W. Ready and Waiting For You. For straight forward, honest deal ings with his farmer friends Zack Lyon cannot be excelled which is the bed rock of his great success in the warehouse business. He takes a pride in capturing the last cent on every pile of tobacco placed on the Johnson Warehouse floor, and con sequently reaches the goal on high averages for all who sell tobacco with him. He has done a successful business the past year without the aid of drummers and will continue that policy, believing that the farmer should receive the benefit of the mon ey paid out to them. Air. Lyon is ready and waiting to sell the new crop and says tobacco will be nigher this feeason and the demand greater for all grades. You cannot do better than to sell at the J ohnson Ware house. Read Mr. Lyon's message to you in another column. Gorman Glenn, colored, having quit my service all persons are herebj' warned not to harbor or employ him under penalty of law. 1-t. J. F.

Crawford Whips Dr. Kllgo on the Train Monday, We learn from the Tuesday's News and Observer that a personal en counter occurred between Dr. John C. Kilgo and Mr. R. B. Crawford, of Winston-Salem, Monday on the train between Greenboro and Burlington while Mr. Crawford was en - route to visit relatives at Knap of Reeds in this county. Tt is said that Mr. Craw ford approached Dr. Kilgo and asked him for an explanation of latter's continued attacks on his father, Rev. Dr. L. B. Crawford, editor of North Carolina Christian Advocate. In the course of a conversation that followed Air. Crawford was called a coward by Dr. Kilgo. An alterca tion occurred, Crawrford getting his arm around Kilgo's neck and dealt him several blows, when Mr. Craw ford was pulled off by a passenger. Mr. D. A. Batts, of Wilson county, who was on his way home from a Western business trip, happened to be on the train when the trouble arose between Dr. Jxiigo and Mr. Crawford. It wras Mr. Batts wrho separated them. He said: I think Dr. Kilgo came to Greens boro from the West. He came into the smoking car and was smoking a cigar, l was sitting a few seats in front of him. After the train had gone about ten miles a nice looking young man came into the car and walked its entire length, and started back into the first-class car. He stopped when he reached Dr. Kilgo's seat and they had some conversation. Pretty soon I was attracted by loud voices and sounds of fighting and turned and hurried back to the seat, I saw that Mr. Crawford had one arm around Dr. iviigo's neck and had his hand drawn ready to strike him. I grabbed his arm and pulled him away. Dr. Kilgo did not strike Mr. Crawford. As I pulled Mr. Craw ford away, i saw tnat ne was very angry. He sought to pull away from me, saying, 'That man insulted my father,' or words to that effect. I persuaded him not to renew the at tack, and as he started to the other car Dr. Kilgo said, 'Go into the other car. You are welcome to the notori ety you will get out of this.'

The editor learned with sorrow on Monday afternoon of the passing away of his old and muchly esteemed friend. Mr. Eppy Grissom, at his home near Kittrell, and believe it is well with him as he was godly in his walk and conversation. He had ar rived at the age of 81, and numbered among best citizens of Vance county, being honorable in his dealings, a kind neighbor, a true mend, and a true and faithful Democrat. Until age crept on he was a suc cessful farmer and accumulated con siderable property, and never turned a deaf to an appeal for aid in any good cause. He was a member of the Methodist P. Church and was ready when the summons came. He leaves behind 8 or 10 children, all crrown. and a large number of grandchildren to mourn his death, to whom we extend our condolence. The funeral took place at Antioch church, of which he was a member, Tuesday afternoon conducted by his pastor, Rev. Mr. Andrews, in pres ence of a large concourse of sorrow ing relatives, neighbors and friends. The remains were interred in the church yard. Peace to his ashes.

Mr. Walter Stark will have charge of the sales and the business, and will see that every pile placed on the floor fetches the cream of the market at every sale.

We ask our farmers to read the announcement of this firm on the 4th page and give them a trial load and see if they will not meet with the best of treatment. An Excellent Sermon. Rev. Jno. S. Hardaway occupied the pulpit of the Baptist church at his regular appointment last Sabbath and preached a most excellent sermon to which the editor had the pleasure of listening too. Those who had the pleasure of hearing him on this oc casion were fortunate as he preached a sermon of much force, being im pressively delivered and being rich in thought and diction, as well as fraught with much spiritual power. Mr. Hardaway preached on "The Work and Power of the Holy Spirit in tJiiristian s i-,iie, ms text being. If ye know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit unto them that ask Him." fhe speaker showed the absoluta necessity of the Holy Spirit's work and office in the christian's work in his life. He showed that the efforts of the church as well as the efforts of the individual were alike powerless and could accomplish no good with out the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. He also showed that the words of the minister often fell without effect upon his hearers and were fruitless for good, because they iiad not behind them that power which the Holy Spirit alone can ive. Lenoir Topic: Since the town ordi nance has been enlorced regarding the clandestine importation of liquor that numerous blind tigers have been opened and the cheering fluid can now be found without trouble. Andy Phipps, of Yancey county, drew $1,020 in gold, the savings of 20 years, from the Battery Park Bank at Asheville; put the money in a satchel which was tied to the buggy. When he and his companion reached Point Fork in Madson county, Mr. Phipps missed the money. No clue to its whereabouts has been found. Burlington News: W. D. Walker, of Elon College, who is an excellent tanner, and known by all his neigh bors as a truthful man gives us the following snake story: He says that Saturday night about 10 o'clock he heard the chickens squalling in the tobacco barn and went to the front porch to see what was the matter. He concluded it must be a mink and proceeded to investigate. He found a black snake with a frying-size chick en which his snakeship was trying to devour. He killed the snake and found it measured 5 feet and was as big around as a man's wrist. 8" Littleton Female College is at tracting much attention just now and President Rhodes is doing much to wards solving the problem of the ed ucation of young women in the South.
