In another column of the Public Ledger appears the splendid state ment of the First National Bank of Oxford at the close of business Sept. 15th.

The growth of the First National Bank- has been steady ami extremely grat ifying, as will be seen by reference to the statement. This bank is under the able management of President Robert W.

Miss Ida Long Dead. It is with deep regret that we an nounce the death of Miss Ida Long, of this place, the sister of our esteem ed townsmen, Messrs James aud Will Long, which occurred Wednes day about '1 o'clock, just as we go to press. Miss Long had been living here with her brothers for only a few- months, but had 1 Made many warm friends who learn of her death with much regret. She was a young lady possessed of many amiable traits of mind aud heart, aud had the nature which drew around her many friends She was a uselul ami eriicient mem ber of the Baptist church and was one. of the beet teachers in the Bap tist Sunday-school here. The remains will be taken to her old home in Northampton countv for burial. To the bereaved family we extend our temlerest sympathies in this sad hour of bereavement. 1 ht: communitv and the church as well as her loved ones have sustained severe loss in her death. "A Runaway Match,' An electrical current at high ten sion is the only parallel tha t can ad einmtelv describe Mark 1-.. .swan s hilarious farce, "A Runaway Match." that makes it's initial appearance in this tow at the Oxford Opera House Thursday night Sept. Lth. lashes of wit, sizzling epigrams, fresh jokes, quaint characters, up roariously funny situations, mirth provoking complications, side splitt ing mistakes, and a brand new idea in farce, such is "A Runa way Match." The fun continues fast and furious for two hours and a half, and the minutes are recorded by almost in creased laughter. Interwoven with this farcial fabric are some vaudeville features and pretty musical numbers. The scenes of the piece are laid in a( 'ountry Inn, where a groupe of interestingcharac ters play at cross purposes, and the cause of all the trouble is twoeloping couples. Marriages have caused trouble before, but this particular pair percinltat.es a humorous revo lution, and turns everything and everybody topsy-turvey. Th" cast is made up of metropoli tan farceurs, with reputations and include such well kuowu comedians as Webster Cullislon, H. D.John's Ed L. Baas, Lucie K. Villas ajid others. , The title of the piece has already become a catch word wherever the company has played this season. The piece is a box otfice magnet, and is considered the greatest farcial success put on the boards this season. "A Runaway Match" ought to pack the house Thursdav evening.

Signed, E. B. Meadows, S. C. Hoituoon. After the nominations were over Judge Graham was called for by the Convention aud responded in a good speech, thanking the people for the confidence they had again reposed In him. He reviewed his past record of service to the party and said that he should in the future as hej had tried to do in the past carry out the wishes of his constituents. The speech was well received and applauded. We wish to say here that much praise is due Chairman Royster for the masterly manner in which he pre sided over the convention, As a par liamentarian he showed consumate skill and rare tact. His rulings were absolutely fair and Impartial, and everybody was highly pleased with them. Judging from his record on this and other occasions wTe can safe ly say that the State has few such able parliamentarians as he. While the convention was at times a little noisy, the editor Is glad to say there was no quarreling or un pleasantness. While all were zealous In the advocacy of their favorites we believe the people, generally speak iiie will bow to the will of the ma- i..Htv This is as it should be. Dem what party we belong to, get our choice for all the different offices. Of course we should, as true Democrats, abide by the decisions of conventions we take part in. Party success often means a little compromise as to per sonal preferences. We hope that we may have a per fectly united Democracy against the enemy this fall, and, if any differences exist among us. we should bury them. Let us remember that the enemy watches with the utmost pleasure any dissatisfactions among us and Is ever ready to take advantage of it. Let us arm ourselves for the fight against the Republicans led by Messrs Billy Brown, J. T. Cozart and A. S. Peace, who are just now using their best efforts to get out what is term ed an "Dependent Democratic -Lilly White Ticket." They are well known as old line Republicans and all thev are after is to disrupt and defeat th democratic party. Knowing thit how can any loyal Democrat join in witn them for the sole purpose ol placing Granville county under Re publican rule again ? Qn "hfe VoVe. Items About People Who Come and Who Go, Funeral of Mr. O. M. Royster. Hickory correspondent of Char lotte Observer of Sept. 15th says, at the conclusion of his sermon on last Sunday morning in the Church of the Ascension the rector, Rev. James A. Weston, said: "Yesterday we committed to its mother earth the body of one who had fought a brave, noble heroic, good fight. He was ready to be offer ed. He had kept the Faith. Loyal to God, true to truth, true to duty, true to his fellow man. Being dead ue yet speanetn, and by his pure, humble, upright. Christ-like life, will continue to speak for God and his Church until time shall be no more, ior tne innuence 01 such a life can never die. It will go on and on.hon oring God and comforting and bless ing mankind to the latest generation. Rich In service, accounting it greater nonor to minister than to be minis tered unto, of sweetest charity, full of good works and alms deeds which he did, faithful In air things, we laid him tenderly to rest, in the hope of a joyful resurrection at the last day "Blessed a,re the dead who die in the Lord; even so salth the spirit, for they rest from their labors."
