Subscribers continue to come in is the fanners will read the Public Ledger. Mr. Will Rice has rented the Al ton house at the head of Asylum treet. Last Friday was the hottest day that Oxford has thus far experienced this summer. Attention is called to the sale of land by T. F. Jones, Kxecutor, in mother column. Farmers if you desire to get the highest averages for your tobacco )xford is the place to sell it. Several loads of new tobacco were old on our market Friday, and sold for higher prices than this time last year. Mr. It. Urougton lias rented the the old G randy store room and will convert it into a restaurant and pool room. Live in Christ, and you are in the suburbs of heaven. There is but a thin wall between you and land of praises. It is said that the singing mos quito never bites, but the people who sav such things are frequently shy on experience. A book "Who Lies?" is a late publication. It dosen't pretened to decide, but tries to find how the land lies, as it were. -It is to be hoped that a new and up-to-date hotel will not be lost sight of the great march of improvement that is nowr going on in Oxford. K. T. Koycroft, an aged and re spected citizen ot the W llkins sec tions, died Thursday at his home of paralysis, tie was NO years of age. Much of the conversation on sea shore hotel piazzas consists in talk ing to people who are related to peo ple we have heard other people talk about. We learn that the Exchange Hotel has created quite a good repu tation among the traveling men for its excellent table and comfortable rooms. Wonder what kind of business the big circuses are doing in the w est with the thermometer at 108 in the shade and possibly ISO under the canvass? The hens have found no occasion to strike and they are stil industri ously applying themselves to satisfy the demands for their product, to the iireat gratification of the careful hot weather epicure. Prof. J. C. Horner is going to greatly improve his residence on Hor ner Hights. Mr. O. It. Smith, of Hen derson arrived Monday and is getting ready to raise the house 2 feet higher from the ground. The editor is very patiently wait ing to hear from some of the persis tent borrowers of their neighbor's paper, believing that their gall would iive out and would subcribe for the Public Ledger for 12 months. Superintendent J. It. Walters, of the home of the Aged and Infirm, has completed some needed improve inents to the Home. We are also triad to learn that he is proving a czr good manager, as he has agood crop growing. The clothing store of Messrs Laudis & Easton has received a neat coat of paint and new conveniences .Milled for showing of goods, and when it is idled with new fall cloth ing and gents furnishing goods it will be a beauty. The Supervisors and Overseers of the Roads of Oxford township are required by law to meet on the first Saturday in August 1SM1. The meet ing will be at the Court House at2:30 o'clock p. m. J. K. Wood Chairman. Applications are coming In rapid ly for the money the state appropri ates for free libraries for the rural public schools. Of the $ ",000 appro priated it is the belief that $2,500 will be called for this year. Next year all will be called for. The Orpham Asjdum singing class returned from their Eastern trip Sat urday and we are glad to learn that their receipts amounted to over a 1,000. Mr. E. W. Jones proved a most excellent manager, and bein fluent in speech can inform the peo ple about the great work the Asylum is doimr for oruhan children in the State.

Regret to learn of the critical ill ness of Mrs. J. D. Brooks, who has been sick several weeks. Pleased to learn that JosiahCan nady and Wilson Jackson, who have been quite sick, continue to improve. Mr. C. L. Lewis, of Stovall, placed on our table Tuesday a tomato that weighed 2 1-2 pounds, which no doubt takes the cake. As wTe go to press this Wednesday afternoon the celebration at the Col ored Orphan Asylum is going on with a large attendance. Dr. J. T. (Jibbs will hold his third Quarterly meeting with the Oxford Methodist church Sunday, and will occupy the pulpit in the morning. Owing to the pressure of other matter we are forced again to leave out the list of school committee- men along with i number of corres- pondents. Rev. John E. Wool, we are pleas ed to note, has almost recovered from his attack of sickness. He occupied his pulpit Sunday morning and as usual preached a good sermon. Quite a number of our young peo ple got together Tuesday night and walked out and stormed Misses Annie de Lacroix and Martha Fredrickson. Of course they met with a welcome and spent a delightful evening. Farmers who have new tobacco to sell wTill do well to remember and try Stark, Crews & Co. at the Owen warehouse and Zack Lyon at the old Johnson who extend you a cordial invitation through the columns of the Public Ledger. During the next 00 days it is said that about 30 families will change houses on account of a large number of transfers of dwellings in Oxford. We might add that more real estate has changed hands here since Oxford voted for a graded school than du ring o years past. Miss Joy Hicks tendered her Ox ford friends a Hay Ride, Friday night and the beautiful Hicks home, near town, was a scene of joy and glad ness. Choice and tempting refresh ments were served, and an with one accord voted that Miss Hicks was a Joy-ful hostess. Scatter seeds of kindess ever, Cheer your fellows on their way, It will bring you quiet blessings, Falling on you day by day. Nature sets a fond example Following which your life shall be, Sweetened in its grateful passage To a glad etenity. Too Hot to be Scraping. This is pretty hot weather for the brethern to be scraping; Bro. Craw ford explaining; Bro. Yates talking about "sorghum piety" and "uuper fumed political thunder," and Bro, Bailey, of the Biblical Recorder, call ing Bro. McKelway, of the Presby terian Standard, a luir, or words to that effect. Brethern, what think ye of this? Do not even the publicans and sinners the same? Durham Sun. Well at Orphan Asylum Finished. The well at the Oxford Orphan Asylum has been completed. It is 205 feet deep,0 inches in diameter and its capacity is 75 gallons of water per minute with a temperature of 52 de grees. 24s feet is through solid rock and it took six weeks to do the work at a cost of about $1,000. The wel was a necessity and the institution will now have an ample supply of pure water. Machinery Arriving. Everybody around the Oxford Cot ton Mills are quite busy now finish ing uptheMills. President John Hall who Is a worker from "away back,' devotes all his time to pushing for ward the work. Mr. Thomas Collins of Hillsboro, the Superintendent who understands his business has arrived and is hard at wTork get ting ready to put in the machinery which is now coming in. The storage house is not yet completed but the work will be pushed now. We hope soon to hear the sound of the whistle from Factory Hill. Bitten by a Snake. Master Joe Lassiter, the bright lit tle son of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Lassiter was out Monday morning looking- for a hen nest and found It. He put his hand in it and felt a stinging sen sation on one of his fingers and at the same time to his horror discover ed a rusty highland moccasin which had bit him. He went to the house and Informed his mother, who at once phoned for Dr Cannady. The doctor on his arrival found Joe's hand badly swollen, and went to work at once to relieve him. Glad to learn that the young man is doing nicely and the swelling is going down We suppose Joe will bemoreparticu lar next time. What a Tale It Teils. If that mirror ot yours shows a wretched, sallow complexion, a juandiced look, moth patches and blotches on the skin, it's liver trouble; but Dr. Kings' New Li'e Pi Is reg ulate the liver, purify the blood, give clear skin, rosy cheeks, rich complexion. Only 2c at Hall's drug store. A Sermon on Subscription. It has been agreed that newspaper subscriptions are an infallible test of a man's honesty. They will sooner or later discover the man. If he is dishonest he will cheat the printer some way declare he has paid when he has not ; sent money in the mails which w as lost, will take the paper and not pay for it on the ground that he never subscribed for it; or move off and leave it coming to the office. Thousands of alleged chris taius are dishonest in this particular at least, and the printer's book will tell fearful tales at final judgment. Exchange. Ice Cream Supper. The ice cream supper on the lawn of Mrs. T. D. Clement for the l)enefit of the Woodmen of the World Tues day night proved a great success, and the members of the order feel very grateful to the ladies who so kindly assisted them. The receipts amount ed to $18. Mrs Candis Emmitt was awarded the prize for the most popular lady, Miss Jessie Hobgood that of the pret tiest lady, Will Massenburg, Jr., that of the prettiest baby, and Mr. James Meadows that of the euglist man This certainly must be a mistake as we always thought that Mr. Mead ows boasted of his good looks and winning ways. A Car Load of Pianos. The Cable Piano Co., of Chicago, has on sale in the old Harris building on Main street, a car load of fine, up- to-date pianos.which are pronounced as most excellent instruments Mr. A. W. Chandler, of Henderson, has charge of the sales room and will be pleased to sell you a high-grade in- trument. Now is the opportunity to place in our parlor a splendid in strument at a low price as the Cable Company are making sweeping re duction in prices. The instruments are of sweet tone and the cases are of beautiful designs. Be kind enough to read their advertisement on 4th uaire and be sure and call and ex amine the fine instruments. August Cosmopolitan. The Cosmopolitan for August re veals the late Grant Allen in a new light that of a keen and clever satir ist of modern society, not only in England, but in the world at large The Cosmopolitan immediately on his death secured from his son all his papers and the clever allegory, "The Temple of Fate," in the August num ber, is one of those selected. "The British Aristocracy" in April Cosmo politan, the present article impresses itself on the reader with a direct fear- lessless which is a new quality in the author's work. If it is true that all the world loves a lover, then Edgar Saltus's clever, epigrammatic story of the princess who have relinquished thrones, positions, wealth every tiling to marry the women they loved should indeed be popular. Teachers Elected for Graded School. The Board of Trustees of the Gra ded School held an important meet ing Friday afternoon in the law office of Mr. W. A. Devin, and after consultation and deliberation elected the folio wing teachers for the Graded School: Mrs. A. A. Hicks, Mrs. Kate Havs Fleming and Miss Katharine Hilliard, of Oxford, who need no commendation at our hands; Miss Mable Royster, of Adoniram, a grad uate of Richmond College, and Miss Sarah Daniel, of Satterwhite, a grad uate of State Normal. Both of these young ladies were highly recdmmend ed. In our opinion the Faculty is a esmitsil one. but would have been much stronger if Mrs. T. L. Booth had been on it as she is recognized as one of the best teachers in Oxford. It seems from what we can learn that denominations had something to do with the selection of teachers, as two Methodists, one Episcopalian, 1 Bap tist and one Presbyterian was select ed. Of course it is rather a difficult matter,as wehave found out,to please everybody and take it that the Trus tees did the best they could. As to the colored school, Rev. Wal ter Pattillo, who has successfully taught it for several years was re elected, and we hope he will prove a truer friend to the education of his race than he has in the past. The selection of colored teachers was postponed until next meeting. Astounded the Editor. F.tfitor 8. A Brown.

All Sadidville, Ky., was curious to learn the cause of the vast improvement in the health of Mrs. S. P. Whittaker, who had for a long time, endured untold suffering from a chronic bronchial troub e.

Shaw Prcsidmg, and Delivers able Charge to Grand Jury, Etc Granville Superior Court convened Monday at 11 o'clock with our own Judge Shaw presiding for the first time since his elevation to the bench He has been holding courts in the western part of the State, and we are pleased to say has acquired the rep utation of being numbered among the ablest Judges in our grand old Commonwealth which he is fully sus taing at this term of the court. With the dintinguished young and practicable Judge and the able Solic itor Brooks Guilford county is most honorably represented, and we are proud of them. Sheriff Fleming and Clerk Graham Hunt and Assistant Clerk W. T. Lyon had everything in readiness and the work of the court proceeded without any delay. The Grand Jury was drawn as follows: Thos. D. Waller, Foreman, A. J. Veazey, John A. Watkins, C. E. Loyd, L. B. Crews, S. L. Walker.S. T. Coley, J. Y'eargan, F. O. Bumpass, JolmW. Fuller, A. H. West, S. M. Slaughter, J W. Wheelous, J. H. Wagstaff. C. G. Mangum, E. W. Patterson, C. R. Howard, L. B. Dixon. After being sworn His Honor in a clear, distinct voice proceeded to charge the jury, and was considered by all whom we heard express them selves a very able one. Judge Shaw was clear and strong and forcible, and showed up crime to the jury in all phases. After outlining and ex plaining the nature of criminal law and most of the leading crimes he proceeded to call the attention of the grand jury to some of the leading criminal laws passed by the last Leg islature. He called special attention to the carrying of concealed wreap ons, to the unlawful dispensing ol liquor, to the unlawfulness and dan ger of lynching and the great dan ger of trusts to the country. In speaking of lynchings he showed that they caused the people to lose respect for the law, and also that lynching did not stop the commission of crime and did not prevent the commission of crime as much as when the law- was allowed to take its course. He warned the jury of trusts and told them that if they found any unlaw ful combination of capital that they should deal with them. He told them that all laws on our statute books should be enforced, and all criminals indictad and punished. ' Altogether the charge was excel lent being plain, forcible andexhaus tive, and showing Judge Shaw to be an officer who a is "terror to evi doers.'

Wednesday morning Judge Shaw called in grand jury charged them as to various outbreaks of the lawr in the"Herrican" on the Ifne between Granville and Wake. He said he had learned that it was a difficult matter to find a man who lived in the "Herican"; they lived just this side, or just the other side, but pro bably Judge Wfnston could as his grandfather was born there in the good old days.

Mr. Hunt is an Oxford boy, born and bred in the town and long and well known to the people of the coun ty. While still quite a young man indeed, almost, before reaching man's estate he held a position second in responsibility to none in the com munity. An early display of business ability brought this honor to him. Reference is had to Cashiership of the old Bank of Oxford, of which Dr. H. C.Herdon was president. With the re tirement of this institution from bus iness, Mr. Hunt opened a general In surance office, and each vear has mtxrked its growth. With the establishment of the new National Bank Mr. Hunt re-enters upon the work In which he began life, and his past experience will be of great service to him in pushing this institution to the front and in making it a success. Personalty, Mr. Hunt is a quiet man, of simple habits of life, and with an even temper and pleasing address. He has many friends and no en emies. J. B. ROLLER. Here we add still another to the Virginians who have moved to our town and become a part of our people and life. Mr. Roller came to Oxford many years ago and has for many years conducted an insurance busi ness of considerable magnitude. He is regarded as a man especially well- posted in all matters of insurance, both life and fire. He has represented an excellent line of companies and has done for them and himself a trood business. Mr. Roller's business ability has been recognized by those in control of some of the enterprises of the town, and recently he was elected to the position of Secretary of the Taylor C innady Buggy Factory, which po sition he now holds. Mr. Roller has many friends among the men of Oxford and his office is a favorite place of rendezvous for them after the close of business hours. He is a gentleman of some literary ten dency, being fond of reading and study, to which he gives as much time as the busy nature of his daily life permits. J. J. PARIS. Mr. John J. Paris, manager of the Paris Dry Goods Companv, is now one of the oldest merchants in Oxford. He gained an experience in the store of the late Captain A. Landis which has been of great service to him since entering business independently. While with Captain Landis he earned an envuible reputation as a salesman and judge of the merits of the articles which it was his duty to handle. Mr. Paris has ideal manners be hind the counter such manners as win friends and draw custom. His courtesy is of the sincere sort and his bearing dignified and calm. He has definite ideas as to the conduct of his business and puts them into daily practice. J. F. MEADOWS. Mr. Joseph F. Meadows is descend ed from the sturdy Meadows stock of the County and is a worthy rep resentative of the worthy name he bears. His family has long been In fluential in business and the church In the community,and some of its mem bers have been men of prominence and substance. Mr. Meadows Inherits the good traits of the stock and has developed other admirable qualities by industry and application. He is one of the best warehousemen in the county, a good judge of the weed, and, withal, a discreet and prudent man of business. Mr. Meadows is a good worker in whatever he undertakes to do. He does things by wholes and not by halves. His advantages in life have been good and he has improved them. He has decided beliefs and is firm in his championship of the good. REV. J. D. PEG RAM. The Oxford Circuit has been favor ed of the Methodist Conference. Rev. J. D. Pegramhas been in charge now two years and under his guidance the work has been acceptably conducted and has resultad in growth. It is questionable, however, if the labors of a minister should be tested by the standard employed in measuring suc cess in the commercial world. He deals with the things that are un seen and only the Omniscient can know the extent of good accomplish ed. Mr. Pegram takes a liberal view of things in general. He is a student and places the proper estimate upon the necessity of keeping abreat t of the times; for, while some may 1aki a different view.it is a fact that there is progress in the growth of ideas and problems religious as well as ma terial. Mr. Pegram speaks with force and uplifting fervor. Now is the time to subscribe to the Public Ledger.
