It is a pleasure to the editor to say that the smallpox is rapidly dis appearing in Granville and our peo ple are in better spirits. As Oxford is to have a Dispensary the people are anxious to see it open up for business, as it will cut off .the jug trade from other towns. Mr. J. D. Bullock, who has been confined at his home for a week on account of sickness, is out again to the pleasure of his numerous friends. When a man comes out at the small end of the horn he is said to have got the worst of it yet it's the man at the little end of the horn that makes himself heard. Rev. J. E.

C The hands at the Cotton Mills are still crying for a sidewalk so they can get to town to do their trading without having to wade through the mud. AVill not our town Fathers rise up and stop the wail that comes from the hill ? The proposed "Self divorce law" in North Carolina is not a rapid fire, self-acting apparatus for unhitching couples, as one might suppose from its name. It gets Its cognomen from the Hon Mr. Self.the statesman who proposed it in the Legislature. Rich mond Times-Dispatch. A certified copy of the Oxford Dispensary law as passed by the Legislature has been received by Mr. H. M. Shaw, and we take it that the commissioners will organize in the next few days and make preparation to open the Dispensary. We will publish the law next week.

She Is now in Oxford packing up her stock and will bid her many friends farewell this week. The editor wishes her great success in her new home. Mr. E. W.

North Carolina again has a divorce law. The Self bill, which passed the Ilouse, went through the Senate after a most interesting discussion, though the debate was limited to half an hour on a side. The bill al lows two years abandonment prior to January 1, 1003, as a ground for divorce, provided, the person bring ing the suit has been a resident of North Carolina for five years. Then five years must elapse before the per son divorced can remarry. Another salutary provision is that the judge must carefully examine each case and if he finds that the cause is not meri torious he shall set the verdict aside. "It takes two for a kiss, Only one for a sigh, Twain by twain we marry, One by one we die." . .

Don't forget, you get new seed and save money when you buy at Hamil ton's. , GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANTS. Senator Hicks and Judge Graham an Honor to the County and State. Our honored Senator and Repre sentative In the Legislature have both returned home and their many friends are glad to greet them. As members of the past General Assem bly they have acquitted themselves most admirably. They can return to their home and loved ones with the pleasant consciousness that they have served their constituency hon estly and ably. As a member of the Senate Mr. Hlcka has been one of the most act ive, vigilant and faithful of public servants. He has secured the pas sage of several Important bills for the county. Hefhas also safely guard ed against the passage of unwise bills. Always safe and conservative, he has guarded well the interests of Granville county as well as the inter est of the people of the whole State. As to the record of Judge Graham It is useless for us to speak. His rec ord Is known and read by the whole State. He was, admittedly, one of the leaders, if not the leader, of the session just closed. He has served our whole county well and ably. He has secured the passage of all bills intrusted to his care and we believe In such a way as will be endorsed by a majority of our people. His Influ ence in this, one of the best Leg islatures ever assembled in the State, has been State-wide." On all ques tions of public Interest the safe, con servative judgment of Judge Graham was always sought and heeded. At the same time he has been aggressive and bold and has dared to advocate wrhat he thought was right. All honor to both of our faithful representatives; may they live long upon the earth and prosper ! Moving on Nicely. We are glad to be able to report the continued success of our splendid Graded School. The work done In this school by Superintendent Hod gin and his excellent corps of teachers should be gratifying to the people of Oxford, as it is no easy matter to establish a first-class Graded School. The attendance Is still large and the work in every grade is harmoni ous, thorough and rapid. The dis cipline of this school is the very best, which Is always the first essential in school management. Firm, yet kind and painstaking, Prof. Hodgln has won from both pupils and patrons much desired praise. May the school have that continued support which is so necessary if the highest results are to be obtained. Let us, Its friends, see that no impediment or hindrance is put in Its way Let us by words of encouragement, by our active sup port and by our ever vigilant Interest see that the school is placed on a foundation firm and strong. Let this school be the cherished object of a united people. Death of Mr. Thos. Frazier. Another one of Granville's old vet- rans has answered the last roll call and we trust his spirit is under the command of the Captain of hisSalva tion. Mr. Thomas Frazier died a few days ago from a severe attack of pneumonia at the advanced age of 73 years, at his home in Oak Hill township, surrounded by his loving family and kind neighbors. He was a brave and gallant Confederate Sol dier and lost an arm In the war. He was a consistent member of Moun tain Creek Baptist church and great ly beloved by all who knew him, as he possessed a kind generous heart. The editor extends his warmest sym pathies to the grief stricken family. Daath of Mr. Geo. Sizemore. Mr. Geo. Sizemore, who at one time was engaged in the harness business in Oxford, died suddenly In Beleware Friday from apoplexy, and his remains arrived in Oxford Mon day morning, accompanied by his grief stricken wife and 3 children. The interment took place in Elmwood cemetery shortly after the arrival of the train. Mrs. Sizemore is the daughter of Mrs. Sarah Elliott and the sympathies of our people go out to her and the little ones In the hour of deep gloom. Board of Education. The same Board of Education for Granville county, composed of Dr. J. F. Sanderford and Messrs. Graham Royster and F. W. Hancock, were reappointed by the Legislature for another term, as they have worked hard to advance the interests of the public schools of the county. We feel sure these gentlemen will continue to receive the hearty co-operation of the school committees and the people generally In their efforts to bring the schools up to a high standard of ex cellence. Was a Welcome Visitor. Col. W. H. P. .lenkins, member of the Ilouse from Granville la 1901, was a welcome visitor in the House last week. Col. Parker truly called him "the Demosthenes of the House, of 1901," when he made the motion to invite him to the privileges of the floor. No man who heard Col. Jen kins in his magnificent speech for the school bill and his righteous protest acrainst the divorce bill will ever for- I get his eloquence. News & Observer. I i ; i i Qn Ife Voje.

Letter to Taylor-Cannady Buggy.Co.Ox ford, N. C. Dear sirs: Here's what "wears longer means. D. T. McGo wn, Cooperstown. N. Y., built a house in '85 and painted De voe. The paint lasted ten years. A year or two later, a neighbor built a house and painted it lead and oil. The neighbor's house was re painted twice in the same time. This looks as if the neighbors house was painted three times in eight or nine years, and McGown's once in 10 years. We are not quite sure we tell the tale as it comes to us. It is enough to say that Devoe Lead and Zinc lasts twice as long as lead and oil alone. The reason is: white lead is soft and chalks off; zinc is hard; and, when throughly ground into the lead, prevents Its chalking and makes it more durable. Yours truly. F. W.

It adjourned Monday at 2 o'clock, after GO days of hard work for it has been a working body. The adjournment was reached after a sat isfactory termination of the labors of the session. Good feeling reigned supreme. The contests and differ ences were forgotten In the general feeling of rejoicing over the reflection that the results of the session would meet the approval of the people. No doubt mistakes have been made. The legislators in some Instances have done those things they ought not to have done and left undone those things that they ought to have done, but in the main moderation, conser vatism, wisdom and progress have prevailed. The statutes will show that the will of the people has been carried out in most particulars. It passed 1,230 acts and 37 resolu tions, while the 1901 Assembly passed 1,207 acts and 5G resolutions. We gather from the last day's uro- ceedings in the Senate the following: When the A. & M. College appro priation bill, for an additional $10,- 000, came up in the Senate it precipi tated a hot discussion. There was a tie vote on this question of 20 to 20, which was broken by Mr, Turner, president of the Senate, who voted in favor of the bill. Some hot talks were made and there were several tilts between some of the Senators. Senator Brown, of Columbus, op posed It, saying that "he was op posed to making the farmer a cloak for this institution, when it was sim ply a textile and Industrial school." He thought more attention should be given to agriculture. Mr. Hoey declared that "the A. & M. College wTas doing a great work for North Carolina. It was fitting men for practical work In the State. Senator Gilliam .opposed the methods of President Winston In lobbying on the floor of the House for his bill, Mr. Gilliam said: Before the ink on the bill was dry the prvideut of the A. & M. College had trh-d to pledge the credit of the State and borrow money but found that he could not on account of Mr. Gilliam's amend ment. Senator Hicks of Granville said he opposed concurrence because his peo pie did not approve extravagant ap propriations. He thought one of the buildings at the college should be for agriculture. Senator Glenn, of Guilford, scored President Winston severely in the course of the debate and entered his protest against the passage of the additional $10,000 appropriation, but Lieut. Gov. Turner held the balance of the power and President Winston proved that he was chief among lob byist.
