IX Smith and daughter, Miss Cora, visited her aunt, Mrs. M. V. Hester, Saturday and Sunday. The Oxford boys had better keep a sharp eye on Durell liruiuinitt as he Is a hustler after tobacco for another market. Miss Annie Cverton had quite a number of her friends and neighbors of the younger class to visit her last Saturday evening. It is unnecessary to say that the affair was a pleasant one as Miss Annie never fails to please her guest s. Mr. Hen H. Pitts, one of our most energetic and enterprising youuu' men, is spending some time with his brother, Mr. Frank IMtts, in Halifax county. On account of his protract ed stay we hope he has found pas tures new.

IMtts, who will increase the stock and do u general mercantile business. While we regret to lose friend Boyd as merchant we are glad to know that we will retain him as neighbor and friend. He has rented the Montague place and will engage iu farming and some business enter prises. Success to you Kufus. Our young friend Dennis Brummitt has taken charge of the public school In district No 5. Mr. Brummitt is well qualified to teach, is ambitious and energetic, and is destined to be a leader in his chosen profession. He has attained his present position by persistent effort and hard work with out the advantages that many young men have enjoyed. We congratulate the committee on securing his ser vices,and have no fears as to his suc cess. The editor joins Adolph in ex tending congratulation to Mr. Brum mitt and wish him the success he so justly merits, in fact he is made of the right kind of stuff to make his mark and become a great worker in the cause of education. Mrs. Fannie Tiner and her sister, Miss Victoria Bridgers, of Winston Salem, formerly residents of this sec tion but who removed to Winston Salem in the seventies, have been vis iting relatives and friends in this county for the last three weeks, have left for their home. Their mother was Miss Amanda Cannady, a daugh ter of Mr. Wyatt Cannady and sister of our well known and highly esteem ed citizens, Messrs. S. H., N. E., W. H. and J. F. Cannady. .lust in this connection will you pardon us for saying a word about one of the best and purest ladies that it has ever lieen our good fortune to meet, Miss Victoria Bridgers. She is a pure christian woman, partially shut out from the world by blindness, yetsuch is her strength of mind and gentle ness and kindliness of disposition that she made an impression npon those with whom she has associated that time can never obliterate. Her last words at parting, when she was ready to start for her home, will be "treasured in our memory like ii happy dream": "Good-bye boys.and if we never meet again in this world let us indulge the fond hope that we will meet in a better one." God grant that her future days may be peace ful, as we know they will be full of hope of a blissful life in the Great Be yond. ADOLPH.

On Saturday at his home at Hillf b ro, Hon. Josiah Turner passed a way, aged , w e s u ppose, a b u t eigh ty years. His father was a prominent farmer in Orange county and lived on the road to Oxford. Josiah was born, we suppose, on that plan tation, and was educated at the University of North Caroiina. He read law and settled at Hillsboro, the county seat. He married Miss Dever eux, (laughter of the lateThos. P. Dever eux, a leading la wyer and one of the largestfarmerseveriu NorthCaroliua. Mr. Turner served in the legislature and was a member of the Confederate Congress. He was a man of consider able humor, and a ratherformidable speaker on the hustings. Aftt'r the was in lstis, he became the editor and owner of the Haleigh Sentinel, hav ing purchased it from the late Wil liam F. Pell, who founded it soon after the war. Major Seaton Gales was his first associate, but who re tired in February, 1 .still, because of the inflamed condition of his eyes. He was succeeded by T. 15. Kingsbury, of Oxford, who was connected with it for some two or three years. Mr. Turner was a fearless writer, and rendered the state most valuable service at a time when such a friend of North Carolina was so much need-' ed. The radical party was in full flower then, havingcompletecon- trol in the state. The neurro party had converted the state capitol into drinking shops and rascality and thievery ran riot. If we lmd tima and space we "could a tale unfold," that would blister the names of many prominent leaders and make that vicious, reckless, conscienceless party a stench and a horror to all the un initiated who are not read up and were too young to have known of the villainies. Mr. Turner was watch ful, resolute, defiant, and poured very hot shots into the robber thug at much risk to himself. He had two or three personal difficulties; was shot at while sitting in his office, and left the state once to meet a republi can he had challenged to fight a duel, but who failed to appear. Mr. Turn er was not a good writer, but, he was rasping, amusing industrious and fearless. One day, seven radicals (one a negro) met him at the depot to punish or kiil him. He stopped the gang by drawing t wo pistols and telling them if they advanced he would fire. He really did no little to uncover the iniquities and rascalities of the negro party, and deserves to be held in grateful remembrance by all true white men and sound demo crats. He was one of the most sym pathetic, humane, benevolent of men. He has been known to make striking sacrifices for people iu distress, and he would give his last quarter or dol lar and know whereof we affirm. He was a fine fellow to work with and was considerate of others and open as day with them. He was a. man of courage, was in the war as captain of cavalry, and had a large hole in his head made by an enemy's huge bullet. He was honest and kindly, a man to highly esteem if you knew him well. At a good old age he has f tllen upon sleep, and we trust his liberated spirit is at rest now in the Heavenly Mansions. We forgot to mention that under the tyrannical siege of Bill If olden, as Provisional Governor, he was put in prison at Yanceyville, under the Kirke cut throats from Tennessee, in .company with Judge Kerr, Dr. Roane, Sheriff Frank Wiley and one or two others among the best and most re spected citizens in Caswell county or in that fine section of the state. He and the others were liberated by the fidelity and courage of a republican United States judge, the late Judge Brooks, of Elizabeth City. He issued the writ of habeas corpus after Chief Justice Pearson had so yielded to Holden's intimidation as to declare "the powers of the judiciary were exhausted. "But all who participated in that great outrage, the governor and their victims and the noble Jurist, are all gone into the great beyond, where all accounts will be audited and the right sentence will be given.

Organization ot a Literary Club and Plan of Government. The Literary Club, of which men tion was made in our last issue, held another meeting at the office of Drs. Booth & I lays on Monday afternoon last. Most of the gentlemen com posing the Club were present. The committee consisting of He v. H. B. Owens, Colonel Frank Hobgood and Capt. W. A. Deviu, which "was ap pointed by the chair at the first meet ing of the Club last week made their report, and submitted a plan of or ganization, which with a few very slight alterations was adopted. The name selected for the Club is "The Oxford Atheneam." We think this name very appro priate and expressive as well as a very beautiful name. The name is in keeping with the purpose and object of the Club and also with the name and title which distinguishes Oxford as a liteary centre. The chair appointed I lev. John E. Wool and Dr. B. K. Hays to prepare papers to be read at the next meet ing. The next meeting will be held on Thursday evening, Nov. 7th at 7;:0 o'clock, at which time a perma nent election of officers will be held. The following is the plan of organ ization adopted: 1. The object of the Association sha.ll be to promote the study and discussion of general literature, his tory, political economy, current top ics, science and religion, except that the discussion of partisan politics and particular religious doctrines shall not be permitted. 2. Its name shall be "the Oxford Atheneam." o. Its officers shall consist of a Pres ident, Vice-President and Secretary, whose duties shall be those usually performed by such officers. These ollicers shall be elected by baliot at the meeting in which this plan of or ganization is adopted, and semi-annually thereafter: Provided, that un til a following term has intervened no member shall be eligible to re-election to the offices of President and V ice-President. 4. Meetings shall be held fortnight ly, on Thursday evenings, at such places as may be from time to time appointed. .". At the first meeting and semi annually thereafter, a committee of two shall be appointed by the Presi dent whose duty it shall be to sug gest subjects for treatment and dis cussion. These subjects shall be sug gested in such timethat at least four weeks shall elapse before they shall be due for discussion: Provided that this shall not apply to the meeting next following that at which the plan of organization is adopted. (. Two members shall be selected by the President to lead in the dis cussion of the subjects adopted, and the selection shall be made according to the alphabetical order of the names of the members. 7. If any member selected by the President to lead at any future uieet iug shall not be present when such selection is announced it shall be the duty of the Secretary to notify such member of his selection and the sub ject for discussion. s. In the treatment of subjects by written papers there shall be a time limit of fifteen minutes as to each paper, and in oral discussion a limit of five minutes; Provided that these limitations may be extended by n majority vote of the mem bers pres ent. i). At a 113' meeting, when a mem ber has once taken part in the discus sion of a subject, lie shall not be perj mitted to again enter into the dis cussion until all the members present shall have taken part or waived their privilege to do so. 10. The plan of organization adop ted may be changed in any particu lar by the vote of a. majority of all the members of the Club. 11. Application for membership shall be referred to a. standing com mittee on membership consisting of three to be appointed by the Presi dent, and upon the recommendation of said committee each application shall be voted upon separately by ballot. Two dissenting ballots shall be sufficient to reject an applicant. If there shall be less than two dissent ing ballots the person so applying shall be declared elected a member of association and the Secretary shall thereupon notify such person of his election and the date and place of next meeting.
