EXCITEMENT ON TOBACCO MARKET
Friday Proved one of the Exciting Days
of the Season.
Tobacco, more tobacco and better
tobacco and higher prices are the en
thusiastic watchwords now on the
Oxford market which are proving a
blessing to every farmer who sells his
tobacco on our market. It is a daily
business with our nervy buyers and
warehousemen to be the means of
carrying sunshine and happiness to
the homes of tobacco growers by
paying them pinnacle prices for each
and every grade of tobacco.
There is not a market in this ter
ritory that excels ours in prices, in
warehousemen, in buyers and relia
bility, which accounts for the greatly
increased sales of tobacco here this
season.
Friday proved the most exciting
lay of the season on account of the
sharp competition and increased de
mands for all grades of tobacco, and
bidding was quick and strong. The
sale at the Owen Warehouse was
an exciting one, and buyers and far
mers crowded around the jirettiest
row of cutters that has been on the
market this season ami some 2,000
pounds sold from $24 per hundred up.
How is that for high? They were
raised by farmers of Vance county
who have been handsomely intro
duced tt) a fine market by the urbane
and reliable Walter Stark, a live, en
ergetic warehousemen, who the Pub
lic Ledger is proud to claim as a citi
zen of Oxford.
The Good Road Train-Let it Come to
Oxford.
The Southern Railroad's Good
Roads Special Train is planned to
spend several days at points in this
State giving ample time to construct
a road from a half to a mile in length
with a view of educating the people
along the line in practical road build
ing.
Our County Commissioners should
not let this oppourtunity pass with
out having the train to stop here.
Suppose some one would offer to
build free of charge a model road from
the depot, one mile towards Rag-
laud's store, would not that be
great blessing to many farmers?
Well that is exactly what the South
ern Railway is doing at Winston and
other points.
Let our Commissioners consult
Mr. W, H. Moore as indicated below
and induce him to bring the train to
Oxford:

Hjh-Grade Troupe in Oxford Nov. 16th.
Carpenter's "Quo Vadis," which
opened this season at the American
Theatre in Chicago, was pronounced
by the critics to be the best dramati
zation of the famous novel which has
been used. In view of the approval
which "Quo Vadis" gained last year
it is not too much to predict an un
qualified success for it this season
The company has been augmented
by several new artists, and a com
plete equipment of new scenery has
been added. "The Burning of Rome"
is the most stupendous scenic effect
ever produced, while the scene in
which Lygia is rescued from the bull
is made thrillingly realistic by the in
troduction of the entire arena scene,
showing the girl bound upon the an
imal's horns. This is the only com
pany on the road which presents this
incident and it has created a furore.
"Qou Vadis" will be seen in Oxford
on the night of Nov. Kith at Opera
House, and our people should thank
Messrs. Peace & Hobgood for securing
such a fine troupe to appear in Ox
ford, and should be encouraged in
their efforts.

Raided the Herricane.
Rumor has it that a Revenue raid
ing party from Raleigh struck th-
"Herricane" section of GranvilU

was where it is said Braxton Bragg
killed Green, and whisky must have
been at the bottom of this cold-blood
ed murder. Report has hadit for some
time that there is 10 illicit distilleries
in the famous "Herricane" which lies
in Granville, franklin and Wake
counties so there is still 14 left to he
destroyed.

Death of Mr. Ruffin Fuller in Norfolf.
It is with much sorrow that the
editor chronicles the death of his es
teemed old friend, Mr. Rufiin Fuller,
which occurred at home of his daugh
ter in Norfolk Monday morning, and
his remains were brought to his old
home in Vance county Tuesday and
buried in the old family graveyard
near Carlton. Mr Fuller was 70 odd
years of age and well and favorably
known 111 Granville and Vauce coun
ties. He was one of the brighest Ma-
sons in this section of the State, and
was a member of the IXibuey Lodge
and greatly beloved by the members.
Some two years ago he left his old
home at Carlton and accompanied
Mr. and Mrs. I'res. Rowland to Nor
folk to live. Recently his health be
gan to fail and the end came rapidly.
Old age and complication of diseases
was the cause of his death. He was
affable and kind, a true citizen, an
uncompromising Democrat a good,
