LUCY COOPER, Another one of Oxford's Saintly Women Gathered Home. "Asleep in Jesus, bleesed sleep, From which none ever wake to weep, A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes." Another saintly character has fallen asleep in Jesus and our town is sad den wrlth mourning, yet In the midst of death we mourn not as those who have no hope. On last Monday morning the death angel again visited Oxford and carried to its eternal rest the spirt of one of the most estimable ladies we have ever known, Mrs. Jas. Crawford Cooper, aged 75 years, be ing born on August 12,ls27. Mrs. Cooper had been very ill for several weeks and her death was not unexpected. She was the widow of the late Jas. Crawford Cooper, for many years President of J. C. Cooper & Son Bank and leading business man of Oxford. Mrs. Cooper was the daughter of Mr. Henry G. Williams and Elizabeth Arrington,, of Nash county. Her only living sister is Mrs. J. 11. Mills, of Thomisville,and her brothers were Hon. H. G. Williams, of Washington, D. C, Col. Sol. Williams, Hon. A. H. A. Williams, Capt. J no. A. Williams, and Messrs. Thos. and Willie Wil liams and Capt. Samuel Williams. She leaves seven children, Mrs. Chas. G. Elliott, Mrs. W. H. White, Miss Belle Cooper and Col. Henry G. Cooper, Mr. L. E. Cooper, of Wilson, Air. Sol. W. Cooper and Mr. Craw ford J. Cooper. Mrs. Cooper was for 47 years a con sistent and leading member of the Oxford Presbyterian church. She was always zealous in everything ef fecting the progress of her church, and was a leader in every good work. The poor and needy never left her door without receiving help. "She despised not one of God's creatures." She drew around her a large circle of friends, by reason of her amible nature and her engaging social qual ities. She was possessed of much force of character and was therefore a lady of Influence both in the social circle and in church work. The funeral services were conduct ed by her pastor, Rev. J no. E. Wool, from the Presbyterian church. A large concourse of friends were pres ent to witness the last sad rites. The floral offerings were beautiful and profuse. Mr. Wool read a selection of scripture from Psalm 45 and made some appropriate remarks, but preached no regular funeral sermon The choir rendered during the ser vices, Jesus Eover of my Soul, Eead kindly Light and Asleep in Jesus. The services were concluded at Elmwood, where the interment took place at 11 o'clock. The pall bearers were: Dr. E. T. White, Messrs. Wash Lynch, W. B. Ballou, J. G. Hall, A. W. Graham, J. G. Hunt, Chas. W. Bryan and S. W. Parker. The honorary pall bearers were: F. P. Hobgood, L. C. Taylor, Bishop J. M. Horner, J. M. Currin, Rev. It. H. Marsh, M. V. Lanier, T. D. Clement, It. T. Smith and C, D, Osborn. The ushers were Messrs. Jno. Webb, Willie Landis, W. J. Howell, and John Booth. Undertaker J. S. Hall. Our whole town as well as her lov ed ones feel the loss of such a char acter as Mrs. Cooper. To her own dear ones the loss is of course great est, but her death has also left vacant a place in the heart of many a friend and admirer. We are aware that words cannot console her loved ones in such an af fliction as this; but we assure them all that they have our heartfelt sym pathies. . We Thank our Friends. We thank our friends-most sincere ly for the many kind expressions we are receiving, both verbally and by letter in regard to our candidacy for Clerk of the Superior Court. We are constantly in receipt of letters urg ing our claims and assuring us of support. We wish to say to our many friends and supporters that their support is most heartily appre ciated. We shall not forget these expressions of kindness, and shall in the future, as we have tried to do in the past, so conduct ourself towards our friends and our party, that we may ever receive their approval. In this connection we would say, in answer to many inquires as to whether in the event of our nomina tion and election to the office of Clerk If we would still run and edit the Public Ledger and give our personal attention to the Clerk's office. To these enquiries we would answer, yes. Whether in victory or defeat we shall publish the Public Ledger and will further promise that it shall ever be, so long as we own it, the ex ponent of pure Democracy, and use Its best efforts for the upbuilding of Oxford and Granville county.

MASONIC P1C-N1C AT CORNWALL Fine Speeches, Splendid Dinner, Large and Orderly Crowd of People. In company with Senator Hicks we had the pleasure of attending the Masonic Pic Nic at Cornwall, Friday, July 4th, which was in every "way a pronounced success. This pic nic is held annually on the "glorious forth," of July and is al lways an event which brings much pleasure to many people in Granville and adjoining counties. Everything favored the pic nic ex cept the weather was somewhat op pressive, but in spite of this there was a large crowd present and everybody seemed to enjoy the day. The crowd was estimated at from 1,000 to 1,200 people, and one of the nicest we ever had the pleasure of mingling with. Of course there was a good dinner well prepared and plenty for every one present. Everything was well asranged and good humor and good order prevail ed throughout the day. The officer of the Masonic Lodge Installed were as follows: J, R. Hart, W. M.; Sam Watkins, S, V.; John N. Watkins.J. W.; John . Watkins, Treas; John Watkins, Sec'y; J. T. Hart, Deacon; L. S. Elliott, Junior Deacon; H. A. Hart, Tyler, General B. S. Royster delivered a fine address on Masonry which was well received and highly complimen ted. It was a telling one and aroused the people. Short and interesting speeches were made by Rev. R. H. Marsh, Senator Hicks, Colonel Frank Hobgood and Mayor S. W. Minor all of Oxford. The people of that section of the county seem to be in high spirits. They are a thrifty, hospitable peo ple and always make those who come among them feel at home. For our selves we will say that we greatly enjoyed the day, and all our people from Oxford and elsewhere enjoyed themselves. The good citizens had made ample preparations in every way for the occasion, and the deft hand of the good women of the community had played a large part in the arrange ments and preparation, as is usually the case. For no occasion of this kind can be a success without the softening influence of the gentler sex. We left for home feeling that we had been benefitted by mingling with these good and hospitable people. We siiy hospitable, because where ver known the Watkins, the Harts, the Winstons, the Chandlers, the Elliots, the Ragsdales, Wilkersons, and other well-known families of that section of Northern Granville are noted for their hospitality, and to this gen erous quality we can heartily tes tify. Many of the truest, best friends of the Public Ledger live in Northern Granville, and the editor has always greatly appreciated their warm sup port. Romantic Marriage at Oxford. Winston-Salem, July it. Quite a romantic marriage occurred in Ox ford yesterday morning, the contract ing parties being Miss Lottie Miller and Mr. Will O'Brien, both of whom are well known in this city. The marriage was quite a surprise to the many friends of this popular couple, only their most intimate acquaint ances having any cognizance of the affair.

Mr. O'Brien arrived there yesterday morning and the marriage was promptly celebrated at the residence of Mr. Jackson. The popular couple arrived in the city on the S:50 train last evening.

The cut is long but not deep. Surgeon Hives sewed up the wound. Harris Is in the hospital and Pittman Is confined to his quarters until the result of the Injury is ascertained. The execu tive board went to the home at once and made a preliminary lnvesetlga tion. It will make a fuller one after the result of wound is known.

It is the first serious fight of the kind at the home and of course caused quite a sensation among the 00 inmates. All the ladles are buying crysta. crepe paper.
