Chief Wheeler and Lonnie Smith are now quite happy over the splen did calaboose the Town Dads have fixed up. They have a steel cell a piece to fill up when the law-breakers get on the war-path. Some of our business men are somewhat agitated over the rumor of removal of the postofficefrom the present location, and a petition has been sent to the Postofnee Depart ment against its removal. Would it not be a grand thing for Oxford if the owners of the old shanties on what is known as "Law yers' Row" would pull them down and erect nice offices in their places? We feel sure they would be quickly rented. There will be a marriage this Wednesday evening which will be quite an event in our colored society. Thos. H. Bullock and Cecil, daughter of Jasper Ridley, one of our best col ored citizens, will be happily married at 8:30 o'clock. The editor is glad to learn that his friend, Mr. D. Y.

On Sunday last the schedule on the O. & C Railroad and O. & H. Road underwent a slight change. The train from Keysville arrives in Oxford at 3:10 p. m. instead of 1:37 p. m. and tne o. & t. train at i:-tu 1 - stead of 1:20 p. m. Mrs. Charley Bryan is out again after several days sickness. If you need the very latest Dic tionary consult our advertising col umns as it has no equal. There was quite a large break of tobacco on the market Tuesday, and many good averages were made. Mr. Titus Curria captured one at the Johnson "Warehouse. We are pleased to say that the little son of Mr. W. B. Ballou, w ho has been critically ill all the week and constantly watched over by Dr. Tom Booth, is a little today, Wednesday. Prof. Harding must be putting in some mighty good work at the Graded School, as we never hear any thing from him these days! TheOx ford Public Ledger would be glad to publish the honor roll of the school which is done in other towns. There is fun ahead for the boys as the st qua 1 to the Old Maid's Con ventiou is coming, and you can get ready to split your sides laughing. Of course the Old Bachelors' Club will suspend the rules and the mem bers will attend in a body. The Old Maids, just back from Klondike, will hold another conven tion in the Opera House on Friday evening Feb. 7th. Don't fail to see them as they will have many inter esting experiences to relate. Since their departure some of them have been happily married. Look here! you old, stingy,moss back borrower, stop spunging on your neighbor, and come up like a man and subscribe to the Public Led ger. The amount you have to cough up will not send you to the Poor House, as it is only one dollar a year and fifty cents for six mouths. Mr. E. W. Worth, an up-to-date mill man, has been elected superin tendent of Oxford Cotton Mills in place of Mr. Paul Collins who was forced to resign on account of ill health. He will arrive next w eek and take charge Mr. Ira Howard is book-keeper and will be a good one. Two weeks ago in giving the names of the Board of Directors of the splendid First NaHonal Bank of Oxford we overlooked the names of Messrs. J. H. Gooch, of Stem, and C. D. Ray, of Oxford. This Bank has been a success from the start and is proving a great benefit to our people. Mr. Ollie Parham, our old bache lor friend of Carlton, was in Oxford Tuesday selling the last of Parham Bros, crop of tobacco. The whole crop averaged over $23 plant round, which is proof that these gentlemen are successful tobacco growers It is hiuted that Mr. O. is willing to resign as President of Carlton Bache lor Club .if he can persuade some fair one to be his companion for life. Still Increasing. The Public Ledger rounds up the first month in the year with 43 new subscribers, and yet there are a few narrow-minded men in Oxford who have ceased to extend it patronage because the editor's opinion cannot be twisted to suit theirs. It is one of the impossibilities to run a paper to suit everybody and it is an ex ceedingly small piece of b jsiness to withdraw patronage on that ac count. Mule Killed. Mr. Joe Morris, of Sunset, had the misfortune to lose a fine mule a few days ago under peculiar circum stances. He got out of the stables and was trying to be gotten back, and his muleship was quite spirited and in his race around the lot run against a sharp piece of white oak running it Into his side 27 inches. A strong man made two attempts be fore he pulled it out. The mule lived about an hour afterwards. Public School Apportionment. There are 99 School District sin Granville county, and recently $11, 703 was apportioned to the Public Schools. The whites received over $ 7,000 and colored over $4,000. Would give the exact figures but have not got them at hand. The Board of Education in the days of the able Prof. W. H. P. Jenkins published the apportionment to each district for the benefit of the public, but under the new regime' they have to find out the best way they can. Superior Court Next Week--50 Criminal Cases. - Granville Superior Court con venes next Monday with Judge Neal presiding. The term is only for one week and few civil cases will be tried. It is reported that Mr. T. S. Rogers will return and stand trial, as'alarge number of witnesses have been sum moned. The Attorneys for Rogers are Ex-Judges A. W. Graham, Robt. W. Winston and Ex-Senator A. A. Hicks, and for Miss Harris the able Solicitor Brooks, assisted by Messrs. James H. Pou, of Raleigh, T. T. Hicks, of ! Henderson, and Vr. A. Devin and CoJ. Frank Hobgood, of Oxford. It prom ises to be a very interesting trial as a number of young ladies have been summoned as witnesses. There are some 50 cuses on the criminal docket and it lookR like one week term in Granville will not fill the bill. Your message ought to be properly addressed, you cannot afford to use any stationery but the right sort. You can get the right kind of stationery at Hall's Drug Store. Working for Baptist University. Rev. A. D. Hunter, Mnaneial Sec retary of Baptist University, greatly pleased the brethren at Enon and Grassy Creek last Saturday and Sun day with his noble spirit and great mission. He will be in the Flat River Association but a short time, but the pastors and churches will take up the work and press the claims of the University to completion. This is a grand institution and one of the most deserving and popular enter prises of the Baptist State Convention. Oxford Furnishes Another Cashier. Mr. A. W. Peace, recently book keeper in the Bank of Granville, hav-J ing accepted the position as Cashier of the Bank of Chapel Hill left Oxford on Monday to make that place his home. He carries with him the best wishes of this community for his fu ture prosperity. This is the third time a book-keeper in tne Bank of Granville has been appointed Cashier of another bank. The prompt, ac curate and faithful service of the Bank of Granviile could not be more highly complimented. February Cosmopulitian. The Cosmopolitan is fortunate in its fiction for February. Stories of love, ad venture and humor from the pens of famous authors make the Mid winter miction .Number" vitally interesting. "S. Cohn 6b Son" by Zangwill deals with the Aiigliciz.ition of a Jew and the inevitable tragedv of his love for au Engiish girl whose race prejudice tiiumpis over her nobler feelings, in '-The Valley of Dead," 1 nomas . Janvier pictures, the struggle of a dasniug young en gineer between love and duty. "Mr. MacGlowries Widow," is the title oi a Western story in Bret ilarte's hap piest vein and "The Fish" is one of E. W. Kemble's best humorous skits. Benefit of Graded School Library. Our taiented friend, Mr. Walter P Strauley, who is a bright member of Hypnotic Club, gave a liypnotic per formance at the Graded School last Friday night. Tne proceeds was for the benefit oi tne Graded School Li brary and a nice sum was realized. The children and otiiers w ere carried away with the performance. e knew that friend Stradley was a fine orator and powerful on the hustings and well versed iu the ora cles oi the law, but we did know that he. lia-d rnlded tniii K;ienca to his other accomplishments. Air. Strad ley is a remarkable man. His influ ence over the youth of both sexes constantly increases as he grows older. Otho Wilson Should Not be Content. Charlotte Observer says, it is poor testimonial to the ambition of S. O Wilson. Esq , that he should be con tent to run a government distillery out in the woods of Wake coumy when gentlemen of his kidney, like Messrs. Harrison Skinner and Benja min Franklin Keith, are getting re lief. Is not Otho, likewise, entitled to relief? Did not he too whoop it up for the sub-Treasury, for 10 to 1, aud for $50 per capita, issued direct to the people? Yes, verily, that's what's he did. What ails him then that he should be satisfied to sit down and watch the crystal so wpaw trickle from the worm which dieth not, instead of practicing the pie counter demanding his share? A Cluby Town. Oxford is pre-eminently a town of Clubs. Among the many Clubs here we at present call to mind the fol lowing: The Atheneum Club, the Shakespeare Club, the Woman's Lit erary Club, the Book Club, the Whistling Club, the Magazine Club, the Left Over Club, the Old Maids Club, the Whist Club, the S. S. Club, the Bachelors Club, the German Club, the Courting Club, the W hitlmgClub, the Hvpnotic Club, the Boozy Club, the Domino Club, etc. Beesides these there are yarious other independent Clubs, whose works are so peculiar they do not wish themselves men tioned. Added to all these we have lodges and fraternal insurance com panies galore. Verily Oxford is well bound together in fraternal ties. Judge Graham's Residence. Judge Graham's new residence in reases in beauty as it nears comple tion. It will be three stories high and will contain about 14 rooms and will be one of the finest in this section of the State. It is not of the cheap showy kind, but is built of the best material and is a model of sim ple elegance. All the framing is of Granville county timber. Well situ ated on Horner Heights it will be when completed one of the prettiest houses ever built in Oxford. It will be finished with the greatest care and no pains or expense will be spared to make it in every respect a model home. It will be lighted with gas, and heated throughout with a fur nace. A beautiful lawn, tastefully arranged, will be one of the beauties of the place. The Judge and Mrs. Graham are to be congratulated on the beautiful home they have planned. ggg-One Chainless Columbia for sale cheap. In good condition. Apply at this office. COME TO THE FRONT. The Eiectric Light System and New Hotel Badly Needed. The air is too still on the proposed electric light plant for Oxford, as it is also on the much-needed new hotel. Since our last article we have heard private parties speak of putting in an electric plant, but not even a mutter as to the hotel has been waf ted on the breeze, while the traveling public continue to complain of Ox ford's poor hotel accommodations, s Who will be the first to speak out and speaking to move. Talk with out action is dead. Let some of Ox ford's leading men put on foot apian for the town to secure thse enter prises. It would pay the town well and pay the projectors doubly for the investment. Would not only pay themselves, but increase the value of their other property. Business men think on these things! It will pay you and help build up your town as well as increase your own business. Wonder if some more patronage will be withdrawn because we advo cate these enterprises? You can do it if you will but Public Ledger will continue to work to build up Oxford still. A Treat In Store.

Mr. R. B- Neal and Miss Lizzie Dowling, of Mecklenburg county, Va, reached Oxford Sunday afternoon on the 3:10 train, and a marriage license was soon procured and the happy couple wTere made one by Squire W T. Lyon at the residence of Mr. C. A Carroll. It was a runaway marriage and witnessed by quite a number of our people. They returned to their home at Baskerville, Va., Monday. Value of a Well Patronized Paper. Dr. Talmage, who is man of obser vation and information and knows what he is talking about, says: "A newspaper whose columns overflow with ads of business men has more influence in attracting attteLtion to and building up a city or town than any other agency that can be em ployed. People go where there Is business. Capital and labor will lo cate where there is an enterprising community. No power on earth is so strong to build up a town as a newspaper well patronized, and its power should be appreciated." A New Fuel. A locomotive engineer, of Omaha, Neb., has invented a fuel which he claims "to be cheaper than coal, to consume more nearly its total weight and to be superior in heat-producing power, pound for pound, to good coal." The basis of the fuel is clay, which is saturated with the cruder and cheaper oils, and it is asserted that in places 1,000 miles from an oil field it can be produced for $2 per ton, while near an oil district the cost will not exceed 40 to 45 cents per ton. Ex perts say that Mr. Hoffman's claim reveals no great improbability so far as the chemical side of the problem is involved, and it is stated that tests of the invention on a small scale have been so successful that in February two railways aud several large western packing plants will give it a trial. If it is recognized, the fuel proves of commercial value, it will likely reduce the cost of nearly every manufactured article in daily use, so far as the producer is con cerned and the consumer also, un less the tariff is made to come to the rescue of the former.
