Just now as we are rejoicing over a great victory we naturally turn with pride and grateful acknowledg ment to our able and efficient chair man, General B. S.

But, notwith standing our victory let us not for get him who lead us to victory. We are glad that our chairman has had the earnest co-operation of the rank and tile of theriM io Democrats in the campaign. At this we are much grat ified.

The County Board of Canvassers, elected by the pollholder of the dif ferent precincts of the county, met in the Court House on last Thursday to canvass the vote and a full repre sentation was present. The Board organized by electing Dr. R. W. Hobgood, Chairman, and Mr. Wm. H. Harrison, Secretary and Mr. D.N. Hunt, Assistant.

After the vote was announced Hon. A. W. Graham was called for and de livered a short speech at Courthouse door. He thanked the people in his most sincere manner for the honor conferred upon him and promised to faithfully represent them in the fu ture as he had tried to do In the pa st. He spoke of the means the opposi tion had used to defeat him anil the others on the ticket, a nd said that he was gratified that the manhood of old Granville had asserted itself and that the powers of wealth could not influence them. As he finished he was greeted with a storxii of applause. The editor Is very glad that Judge ( J raham continues to enjoy the con fidence of the people of (iranville.

THANKFUL FOR THE HONOR. Will Earnestly Strive to Serve the People Faithfully and Courteously. At this juncture it is but proper that we should express our sincere thanks to the kind people of good old (Iranville county for the honor they have recently conferred upon us in electing us Clerk of the Superior Court. As we shall enter upon the duties of the oltice on the first Monday in De cember we wish to say that the peo ple of the county will find us ever ready to serve them faithfully and courteously. Our aim will be to serve them in the office with that same de gree of care that has characterized us in our private business. We are deeply sensible of the confidence re posed in us and thank the people for i their support and for the large ma- j jority given us. In this connection we wish also to thank the ladies for their kindnesses a nd many expressions of good will both during" our canvass and during years past in newspaper work. Such encouragement is most highly appre ciated, for without the good women this world would be a howling wild erness. The little girls and boys ( Jod bless them; always the favorite friends of the editor have alno given us en couragement by their kind expres sions about us regarding our advo cacy of schools and education and other matters pertaining to their welfare. In reviewing our past work as edi tor we are conscious of the fact that our aims have been honest. We have ever striven to keep on the right side of questions effecting the welfare of our people. We have worked for ed ucation, for the nmterial progress of Oxford and (iranville, and have tried to lead our people aright on ques tions political. That we have made mistakes we doubt not. In the future we shall ever be actu ated by the same motives. With the kind co-operation of our people we hope to be able to serve our people well both in our public capacity and as editor of the Public Ledger. Dedicated to trie "Snowed-Undcr." We would dedicate the following beautiful poem to the defeated candi dates in (iranville with the respects and good wishes ol the editor: "Oh, no; I don't feel bad all; 1 couldn't win, 1 knew; With odds such as I faced a saint Could not have wriggled through 1 ran because it seemed to me That some should, you know; I never had the slightest hope ( f being chosen, though. "What's that you say ? Oh, yes, 1 did Pretend I thought I d win, And that there'd be a landslide but That isu't any sin, 1 had to show that 1 had nerve, But now that all is done, I'll say to you that I'd have been Surprised if 1 had won. "I've said all that I have to say, . And 1 am glad indeed That 1 may give ni3T own affairs The time and care they need. If I had won I would have had To sacrifice a lot; I'm glad to yield the other man The 'honor' he's got." Two of Granville's Favorites. Two of the men much beloved in Granville were elected by sweeping majorities last week Hons. . W Kitchin and A. E. Brooks. Mr. Kitchin's majority was S,000. This is the largest majority, by seve ral thousand votes, ever given to a candidate In this district, but it was no larger than we expected, even if the Southern Railroad and American Tobacco Company were using every effort to defeat him. Mr. Kitchin is, by general consent, the ablest Repre sentative of the now able and bril liant North Carolina representation in Congress. To him we extend, along with his many other admirers in Granville, our warmest congratulations. We are proud of such a distinguished Representative. He is a man of pu rity of character, of commanding per sonality and of great ability. He has done us noble service in the past. The interests of the district are perfectly safe In his hands in the future. We also, with many others.rejoice over the election by a splendid ma jority of our friend, Hon. Aubrey L. Brooks. He has made a fearless, ca pable Solicitor. He has done his duty well and has guarded our district from crime. He is no "trimmer" and dares to do his duty regardless of consequences. No district, we be lieve, can boast of a more honest or vigilant Solicitor. (iranville give him 1,253 majority and is proud of the fact that he will continue to look after the interest of the State in the Courts. Continued success to friend Brooks. A Sad Accident, A very sad and heart-rending acci dent occurred in Oxford last Friday, which resulted in the death of the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wood. The little girl was near the cooking stove, when a kettle of boil ing water was overturned, scalding it almost all over its body. Medical aid was at once summoned, but with out avail, the burn being beyond hu aid and the little one died in a few hours. Our whole town and community is saddened by the great misfortune which has befallen Mr. and Mrs. Wood. While the death oi the dear little one Friday brought peace and rest from pain to it, it brought un usual sadness to the home of which she was the joy. She was the dar ling and pride of her parents hearts. They have however, the comforting thought that they and true friends did all they could to alieve her suffer ing and to impart all the comfort they could to her during her short sojourn in the flesh. The funeral services were from the Baptist church on last Saturday afternoon and the interment took place at Elmwood cemetery. The sympathy of the wholecommu nlty goes out to the grief stricken parents. May the Lord of all mercy comfort them in their sadness. For a Bad Coid. If you have a had cold you need a good re liable medicine like Chamberlains Cough Remedy to loosen and relieve it.anlto ?llay the irritation and inflammation of the throat and lungs. All Druggist. "Beyond the Smiling and the Weeping." On Sunday, Nov. 10th, the people of Oxford were saddened at the news of the death of Mary Noble, the be loved daughter ol Mr. and Mrs.T.W. Winston. She had been ill for about 3 weeks, but seeir el better and friends hoped that she would soon be her usual bright self again. But during the uight of the 0th her malady took a turn for the worse, and just as our people were wending their way home ward from church her gentle spirit took its flight to the blessed land of Paradise where all Is peace and joy. The funeral was held Monday af ternoon at 3:30 o'clock from St. Ste phen's Church, of which she was a member, and was attended by her little church society, "The Junior Auxiliary," and by the members of uer graae irom tne uraded School in a body and by a large congregation 01 sympathizing friends. '1 he bodv was laid to rest. In F.lm. wood Cemetery close by a little friend that she had known and loved Inlife, and there they a wait together the voice that tdiall call them forth on the Resurrect ion morn. The floral tributes were numerous and beauti ful and attest the sympathy felt for the bereaved parents by their many friends. The undertaker was Mr. Robert Wood ami pallbearers were: R. W. Lassiter. J. F. Edwards .Toe Baird and E. T. Rawlins. Mary Noble was a, most, lov.nnle child, truthful and honest, pure and good. We may perhaps wonder why the tender bud was not left onen.bnt God knew best, and His Infinite wis dom caned her home. Sometime when all life's lessons have been learned, And sun and stars have all forever set. The things which our weak judgment nere have spurned. The things o'er which we grieved with lashes wet Will flash before us out of life's dark niarht. As stars shine most in deeper tints 01 oi ue. And we shall see how all God's plans were rurht. And how what seemed reproof was love most true. And we shall see, the while we frown and sigh. God's plans go on as best for you and me; How, when we called, He heeded not our crv, Because His wisdom to the end could see. And e'n as prudent parents disal lowed Too much of sweet to craving ba- oyhood, So God, perhaps, Is keeping from us now Life's sweetest things because "It seemeth good. But not today then be content, poor heart G od's plans, like lilies, puriest white untold; We must not tare the close shut lea ves apart, Time will reveal thecolyxesof gold; And if, though patient toil we reach the land 'Where tired feet, with sandals loos ed , may rest, When she shall clearly know and un derstand, I think that we will say that God knows best."

As to his ability and tact it is fully in keeping with his counte nance. As to".Johnnle"Mayes,heis honest accommodating, with a nature as luscious as a riue watermelon. As candidate, office or companion lu has a wav of centering the mark With him as custodian, the records are safe. Then we have Mr. W. T. Lyon No one doubts his honesty, ability or pop ularity. He is just the sober, serious, sace man to handle the county funds. And next conies "Sam inie" Wheeler. He Is just the man to handle men dead or alive. As Chief of Police he has made a most excel lent officer. He is not harsh and yet has nerve and fearlessness enough to stop a freight train. As Coronor he will prove the right man in the right place. He will be able, however, to hold both places down. As to the Clerk of the Court our gelfWe have had our say and will not try to take up all the time.
