GATHERED BY OUR REPORTERS. Short Items Dealing With the News of a Week. But few people have been in Ox ford this week. Tobacco breaks the past week have been light. The interior of the Exchange Ho tel is being papered. Many of our people enjoyed sleigh riding several days this week. Nearly all trains coming into Ox ford these days are behind time. We have heard nothing recently about the removal of the ptfstoffice. Some of our young men enjoyed wallowing each other in the snow Saturday. Sheriff Fleming is again after taxes and has sent out his last call, and you had better ante-up. The beautiful snow, which fell 14 inches Saturday and Sunday, block ed trade the first of the week. On account of the deep snow our Free Delivery Carriers failed to make their usual rounds for two days. Mr. T. W. Jackson, who has been confined at home several days on ac count of a severe cold, is out again. Mr. Plunk Meadows has concluded to remain in Oxford and has accept ed a clerkship with Parham Bros Co. The new residence being erected by Mrs. Mary C. Cannady, on Alex ander street for rent, is being weath er-boarded. Mrs. E. H. Crenshaw, who has been numbered with the sick.is much better. And so is the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Daniel. The Wholesale Grocery House of Messrs Usry & Medford continues to do business and are furnishing our merchants with goods at bed rock prices. We call attention to sale of land under mortgage by Mrs. H.J. Webb mortgage, in another column. You had better read it as you might be in terested. Miss Maggie Currin arrived home from Hollins institute a few days ago and has been numbered with the sick, but glad to learn is almost her self again. Postmaster Peace tells us that Saturday, Washington's birthday being a legal holiday, the postofhee will be closed; so if you need any stftrana vou had better look after x v them. In the first line of the Synopsis of the Laws Regulating Quarantine of Contagious Diseases on the third page should read "County Sanitary Committee," Instead of County Com mittee. Those same suave,polite two-face men are still on deck, harboring to their breast the thought that they are still pulling the wool over their pre tended friend's eyes, but alas they are mistaken. Mrs. W. D. Bryan gave a party Tuesday night in honor of Miss Mattie McGure, of Smithfield.and Miss Annie Williams, of Oxford, which was greatly enjoyed by all who had the pleasure of attending. Our Town Commissioners, are getting ready to spend more money fighting the Oxford & Coast I,ine Railroad Bonds, which comes up in March before the Supreme Court of the United States next month. The editor is greatly pleased to learn that Miss Mary Currin, one of Oxford's purest and best young la dies, who has been quite sick, is much better which will carry joy to the hearts of her host of friends. The Oxford & Clarksville passen ger train was run as a double header ou Monday last, on account of the snow fall being so heavy, and abso lutely unbroken since Sunday, it was found necessary to send out the two locomotives. Nobody in this part of the county has heard a word from the eloquent Prof. W.H. P. Jenkins since theLegisla, ture adjourned nearly a year ago. He has not even seen fit to visit his county town. Friend don't make it so long between visits. Thus far in February the Public Ledger has added 26 new subscribers to its list, and yet some few people, who we have liberally puffed now re fuse to patronize us. The average country editor is use to ingratitude and we enjoy that mean luxury. The attention of the numerous readers of the Public Ledger is called to the advertisement of the First National Bank of Oxford in another column. You cannot do business with a safer and more reliable insti tution, and who will appreciate your business more than the First National Bank of Oxford. This bank will by glad to serve you, and pays 4 per cent, interest on time deposits. The ladies are longing to get a glimpse of new spring goods, and they can be accommodated if they will ca ll at Long Bros, double stores where they are arriving daily. Shoes and Gingham, Clothing, Furnishing Goods are among the new spring pffPf'TH at Long's Bargain Corner. j 4th page and call on them and cap- ture early spring: bargains. Mr. WTill Long, of the firm of Long Bros., left Tuesday morning for Bal timore and New York to purchase an elaborate spring stock of goods for their large trade, and will be pre pared to offer a number of bargains to their large trade. The Woman's Literary Society met Tuesday afternoon with Miss Anna Cannady, and the meeting proved an interesting and profitable one. Well prepared papers were read by Mrs. C. D. Ray, Misses Charlotte Britt and Susan Graham, and Mrs. W. H. Britt. Light refreshments were served at the close of the meet ing. Of course no men are allowed to attend these meetings. Two Generous Gilts. Trinity College has been the recipi ent this month of two handsome gifts which are to be completed be fore the opening of fall session one a modern dormitory to cost $25,000 or $30,000 by Mr. Benj. N. Duke, and the other an elegant granite pavillion to be built between the gateway of the college and the Washington Duke building, the gift of Mrs. James E. Stagg, the grand-daughter of Mr. Washington Duke. These two ad ditions together with the magnificent J. B. Duke Library Building will add greatly to the equipment, comfort and adornment of Trinity College. News & Observer. Changed His Base. Mr. Francis B. Hays, an old Ox ford boy, who.for the past ten years as associate editor of Druggist's Cir cular, New York City, has done so much to brighten and build up that publication has moved to Atlanta, Ga., where he becomes editor-in-chief of a new paper called the "Southern Druo-ist." the first issue of which will appear about March or April We who know Frank think there is nothing too good for him, and pre dict his venture will meet with de served success. Mr. Hays was in Oxford Friday, but did not give only a few friends an opportunity to shake his paw. Wrong impression. There is a wrong impression on the part of the authorities of a number of counties in regard to the meaning of the term "available school funds They appear to think it means only funds which have come in since July 1st last. The law in regard to ex penditure of the second $100,000 of the State funds to keep schools open four months, reauires that the schools must use all their credit before they draw on this State fund. They must use all their credit, even if it goes back 5 years. On the 1st oilast J uiy the great sum of $227,000 was in the hands of county treasurers to the credit of the school fund. Raleigh correspondent of Charlotte Observer. Snow Ball Bombardment. The boys in their warfare with snow balls Monday were no respector of persons. They attacked high and low, old and young. Even the dig nitaries did not escape. The ministers even looked alike to the snow-ballers. In the heaviest of the bombardment about night one of Oxford's profes sors was submerged in the snow and pelted with mercy. He begged pite ously, but to no avail. He told the boys, some of whom had formerly been his students, to "stop," but they reminded him that he did not "stop" in former days when they were the victims at his school. The tide had turned, "and they were comforted, while he was tormented." Not Behind on Water But on Oil. The Standard Oil Company is now trying to see how mean oil it can furnish the people of Oxford with. We take it no people could be afflict ed with poorer lights as the said noble-water giving Standard Oil Com pany is furnishing to this community. It is very near half water, as a house keeper said a few a nights ago she filled her lamp her up, which burned about two hours and put out. To her suprise next morning in fixing it up for the night found a big cake of ice in the bottom with a small quan tity of oil on top. This is a direct imposition on the people, and we in form the Company that our people are not behind on water but un doubtedly on OIL. Extra Good. Geo. L. Palmer's spectacular pro duction of "Ten Nights in a Bar Room," which comes to our town Monday night, Feb. 24th, 1902, is known far and wide as one of the greatest of successes and this season is presented on a more elaborate scale than ever before. A well known company of artists have been engaged which include such well known peo ple as W. N. Hammett,J. E.Jackson, Lewis Sutherland, Julia Bennett, Delia Harrison and little Verna Marie the greatest of child artists, who im personates the character of Mary Morgan. It has often been said that no man can attend this performance without going away better for it. and we believe it to be true. Go and take the little ones it will be a lasting impression on their minds which may help their future lives.

Public Ledger Still Increasing in Spite of Opposition-Will Continue to Work to build up Oxford and Gran ville County. With this issue of the Oxford Pub lic Ledger we enter upon our Fif teenth volume. As we take a retro spect of the years past in trying to push Oxford forward, with their struggles and difficulties and stren uous.effort we realize that they havt not been years either of trouble or joy they have been a mixture. Our way has not been rosy all the time, neither has it been unmixed with pleasure. Nor have had all success ' and no failure in our plans; we have had part smooth and part rough sailing even if we have come in con tact with General Ingratitute and Colonel Two Faced. Altogether, however, we feel gratified at our suc cess and encouragea to press for ward. For a weekly in a town Oxford's size we ieei that the Public jueuger has held its own under boycotts and severe criticism, and contending with the miserable two-faced individuals, we feel that the Public Ledger ha held its own despite its secret ene mies and today is more popular than ever before. We have many reasons for believing this. At any rate, the press lead us to Lilieve by their many kind words that we are giving our patrons one of the best weeklies in North Carolina. The patronage' we have received, has also, for the most part, been gratifying. Thin is especially true in subscriptions, not by any means counting the old, stingy, moss-back dead beat. Our cou itry friends par ticularly, and many others, have stooa by us nobly ana today our list is larger than ever before, and is stead dy increasing. The business men a majority of them have given us a good deal of advertising, but in a number of in stances have withheld their job printing. Even if they can save a few pennies in some cases we think a just spirit of home pride would prompt them to have their work done at home that is all of it that we can do. We admit that there are some classes of work which we can not do, and cf course they have to send that away, but such work as we can do and do well we think we should secure. We do not pretend to compete with cut "throat prices which some 01 the "cheap, joha'-houses bid foetrial orders. We must have a living profit we cannot continue to run unless we can get a profit from work. In view of what we have done to help build up the town and to foster its enterprises we do think that we should receive some little apprecia tion in return. Our record speaks for itself. We have worked for Oxford's schools, the tobacco market, business inter ests, and for every enterprise estab lished here. We can say truthfully and we believe without egotism or vanity, that we have been instru mental in arousing the people and in pushing forward the movements which started these enterprises. We have worked day and night, and have oftimes disregarded our own interest (as country editors will do) to champion things which we knew were not for our own good but for the people's good. We labored in season and out of season for the establishment of the Cotton Mills, and for a long time the only encouragement we received was from our most highly esteemed friend, John G. Hall, and would have been greatly pleased to have received the first order given out for a small amount of plain printing, but it landed in another town. We are a regular, bona fide, home loving, taxpaying citizen of Oxford. We own property here, pay taxes here and work here all the time for the up-buildng of the town. We are for Oxford in interest and in senti ment. If, for any reason, persons do not wish to give us their job work, we want them to send it up to the Or phan Asylum. Dob't send it away from Oxford. We Lave enough home pride to desire this even if we do not secure it ourselves. We note a healthy sign here which leads us to believe that probably the tide is turning in this respect, as we are informed that for once home le gal talent, which is us good talent as there is in the State, has been recog nized and that Messrs. Hicks & Minor and Royster & Hobgood have been employed in the bond case before the U. S. Supreme Court. We gladly note this change of senti ment among our Town Commission ers. May the spirit continue and spread along other lines. Major Willie Landis will leave Friday for the Northern Markets to buy an extensive stock of spring goods for the wide awake firm of Landis & Easton. Of course he will pick up..a number of bargains for the benefit of their increasing trade.

We emphatically exclaim that Ox ford must have Electric Lights and stop trying to get lights out of Stan dard Oil Co's heavily watered oil as It would be cheaper to the people of Ox ford in the long run and produce a revenue besides.Down with Standard OilCo's watered oil and up withElec tric Lights should be the cry of every citizen in spite of the old "Railroad Bond Chestnut." Nearly every town A any size in North Carolina has Electric Lights, and almost without exception they are owned by the town. It is our aim to correspond with the authorities of every town in the State which has electric lights and to ascertain what has been the result of their experience in owning them. Recently we had a talk with a gen tleman who came from Kinston here not long since. He told us that the town of Kinston purchased a plant at ten thousand dollars and that the investment had proven a good one, and had paid a dividend of 10 per cent. This shows what we could ex pect if we purchase a plant. Owning tne piant is not only a great conve nience, but it is an excellent invest ment for the town, Now, friends don't let the "Old chestnut" of having to pay the Ox ford & Coast Line Railroad Bonds scare you out of your rubbers this snowy weather as the people want Electric Lights bad. We cannot afford to let this keep us from get ting the lights. The expense will be light compared to the gain. The old bond suit should no longer be a "scarce-crow" if the town has spent over three thousand dollars fighting it, and it seems to prefer to have its printing in the case done out of town. We have won this suit, we believe in every court to which it has been carried, and according to that have every reason to believe will win in the coming suit before the United States Supreme Court. While our highly esteemed friend, Mr. Robert W. Lassiter, has submit ted a proposition from an out-of- town firm to the Town Dads to fur nish lights, yet we think it far bet ter and more economical for the town to own its own plant. This firm would charge $90 for each arc light, naming 20 lights (and it would take at least 30 to light the town well) would cost the town $ 1,800 per annum, not counting the high rate charged individuals for incandescant lights. By just paying this rental each year the town could soon pay for its plant, which when paid in this way would be almost without cost to the town. Some of our friends object to a bond issue to pay for the plant. There is no need of a bond issue. The town can easily borrow the money to buy the plant on easy terms. Be sides in owning its own plant the town will know just what it is get ting. There will be no misunder standing as to terms no dispute over a contract. The town will get what it pys for. Let us have Elec tric Lights any how. Come in and Called the Editor Down. A few days ago quite a nice look ing young gentleman walked into our office and said: "Mr. Britt I wish you would correct statement that the phone at Southern Depot is out of fix and no connection can be had." We informed the young gentleman that we had on three separates occa sion pathetically appealed to the po lite central to give us 36 and was in formed that thephone was out of fix. "Well," says the young man, "if they would stop hanging receiving down more people would hear from the depot than do. They say they wish the phone was out any how as it is a trouble to them, and because they refuse to answer the phone the central should not be blamed for it." We agree with him on that point, and if theagent wants thephone out it strikes us he has a rignt to take it out and then everybody would know that they had to go to the depot in order to get information. We heard a prominent business man say a few days ago: "I believe I pay the Southern Railway a $1,000 in freights a year and my experience in getting information over the tele phone is very unsatisfactorv." For our part we cannot see the dif ference in answering a question con cerning freight over the phone than in person which they invariably have to do. Oh! well, whether the young man is right or wrong in his conjec ture we take it by May the first a new spirit of accommodation will have come over their dreams. The Last Heard Oi It. "My little bov took the croup one night and soon grew so bad you could hear him breathe all over the hou-e. 4 says F.D. Rey nolds, Mansfield, O. "We feared he would die but a few doses ot One Minute Cough Cure quiclly relieved him and he went tj sleep. ThaTs the last we heard of the croup. Now isn't a cough cure like that valuable?

BUT NOT ALL The Varied Movements of a Number o People. Mr.Eugene Lewellyn has returned from a visit to his mother in Raleigh. Mrs. John W. Hays has returned from a visit to her son at Petersburg, Va. Mr. C. D. Osborn, the great Fur niture tourist, is at home for a few days. . Mies Katy Cannady has returned rrom a delightful visit to friends in Raleigh. Miss Alice Graham is on a vistto her aunt, Mrs. R. W, Winston, in Durham. Mr. Charley Gregory, of Florence, S. C, is on a visit to home folks in Oxford. Mr. Charley Roberts, the finelook- iDg merchant of Knap of Reeds, was on our streets Tuesday morning. Mr. A. S. Davis, of Henderson, was an Oxford visitor Tuesday and his old friends were glad to see him. Mr. W. D. Currin, of Winston, is spending a few days under the paren tal roof. He is one of Winston's suc cessful tobacconist. Messrs. H. P. Blackley, of Wilton section, and J. A. Belcher, of near Oxford, were in town Thursday and called on the Public Ledger. Mayor S. W. Minor, Sheriff S. A. Fleming.and Messrs. li. W. Hobgood, W. H. Hcckaday and J. K. Wood, attended the Good lload Congress a t Raleigh last week. Mr. Hobgood had the honor of being elected one of its Vice-Presidents. The pleasant Sam Webb, Chair man of the county Board of Com missioners of Alamance county, was the guest of Judge and Mrs. A. VV Graham Saturday. He is so well rounded in temperament he carries sunshine wherever he goes. CHANGE OF PRINCIPALS. Prof. Harding Goes Back to Newbcrn and Prof. R. D. W. Connor, of Win ston, Succeeds Him. We are sorry to learn that Oxford is to lose Prof H. P. Harding as Superintendent of the Graded School. Prof. HardiuR accepts the Superin- tendency of the Newbern Graded School and will leave one day this week to enter upon his duties there. He has been promoted in his work and will receive an increase in salary there of $500 per year. His departure is a distinct lows. He has gained the confidence of the people here and en joys a popularity as teacher which few teachers in Oxford have had and the children love him Personally he is well liked being a young gentle man of affable manner and kind heart, and one and all regret to give him up. Mr. Harding is succeeded by Mr. R. D. W. Connor, a son of ex-Judge Connor, of Wilson, who has already achieved marked success as an edu cator and comes to us well recom mended. He comes from the Winston Graded School here and enters upon his work with every promise of suc cess. Mr. Connor comes of good stock, is thoroughly educated, having grad uated with high honors at the State University in the same class with Prof. Harding, and highly recom mended as a teacher skilled in hi profession. We gladly welcome him to Oxford and trust his stay here may be pleasant a,nd profitable to him as well as to the school. The best wishes of our people fol low Prof. Harding back to Newbern with the hope that his shadow will never grow less and that his lines will alwa3s fall in pleasant places, even in double-blessedness. Don't be Jealous-Deal Fairly, Boys. As the Horner Military School ranks among North Carolina's greatest educational institutions we are indeed sorry of the feeling which has only lately begun to show itself and produce friction between our town boys and the Horner Cadets. We learn that some of our town bos s have gone so far as to rock some of the cadets at night which we consider quite a serious offense. Now boys, thin is all wrong. Never al low your feelings, which, perhaps, have been aroused over things imag nary, to get the better of you. The Horuer boys are away from home, and so far as we know demean them selves as gentlemen, and should be treated with proper respect. Let our boys here suppose, they were away from home at shcool, how would they like to be rocked Sunday nights while returning from accom panying a young lady to church? The boys should not be envious or jealous of one another. If the Hor ner boys are popular with Oxford's fairest and sweetest gems, why that is all right and show good taste. The world is large and there is room enough for all, and as the old saying goes: '"There is just as good fish in the sea as caught out if they do not nibble like the Oxford girls. Let us be friends" should word, boys! be the watch- Give us your job work. E T. White, J. M- Currin, H. G. Ooopsr, Pres. Vioe-Pres. Cashier. THE BANK OF GRANVILLE. Oxford, N. C.
