Dr. John Kilgo, who is recog nized as the ablest pulpit orator in the State, will occupy the pulpit of the Methodist church in Oxford on the fourth Sunday. Dr. KHgo Is a man of brain, power and eloquence, which all must admit who have been so fortunate as to hear him. The P.oard of County Commis sioners have purchased four very fine mules to pull the road machinery and are now at work on the roads. Two excellent horRes were also bought for road duty. We wish Su perintendent Memingand the town-, ship supervisors every success in road building as Granville has the reputa tion of having the worst roads of any county in the State. Services at Methodist Church. The meeting at the Methodist church is still In progress and much excellent preaching is being done. The pastor, liev. A McCullen, preach ed on last Sunday morning to a large and appreciative audience. His sub ject was, The Judgment, which he handled in a, most instructive and Interesting manner. It was a heart searching sermon ami showed in vivid picture how awful will be that great day to the wicked and how blessed to the righteous. The sermon could but impress upon those not prepared to meet the fearful respon sibility of that day. Kev. Pegram preached a very able and edifving sermon on Sunday night on "What I do with Christ?" We believe that good is being done in these meetings though as yet, there is little manifestation on the part of the unconverted. The meeting will probably continue through this week.

One of the nicest compliments which could have been paid to retir ing Mayor S. W. Minor was his election on the Hoard of Town Commissioners. This is rarely done in the case of retiring mayors. For this reason Col. Minor should feel much gratified at the confidence re posed in him. The people have not yet "got enough" of him as they often have of some officials before their term of office expires. We con gratulate Col, Minor on this token of esteem and conlidence. Temperance Lecture. Mrs. Cartland, who for some years has been traveling under the auspices of the W. C. T. U., lectured at the Methodist church on Sunday after noon at I o'clock. Those who heard Mrs. Cartland were much pleased with her and a good number of la dles joined the union she organized next day. She is a woman of genuine chris tian culture and commands the re spect of those who hear her. She has not the gush and sensationalism of some of the women lecturers who sometimes alllict our country, but is possessed of a modest, dignified bear ing. She has spent the best years of her life in the good work of saving men from the drink evil. We hope she may visit our town again. For the Healing of the People, Few sections can boast of conven ient access to the best mineral water as the sections adjacent to the fa mous Buffalo Llthla Springs of Vir ginia. Our town and section are for tunate in having these noted springs so near us, with their many health giving qualities. These waters are justly famed, the world over. For those who are tired and generally run down these waters give strength, recuperation and vi tality, while to those suffering from B right's disease and other kidney af fections as well as nervous troubles, they are the best waters obtainable and are almost sure to effect a cure. The accommodations at Buffalo are also good and the attractions such as to render a stay there al ways pleasant and enjoyable. The rates are reasc uiable considering the service and the marvelous qualities of the water. We bespeak for Buffalo a large share of Oxford's patronage during the coming season, as usual. We are partial to Buffalo because wTe know of its merits. The excellent manage ment there make Improvements every season and are ever trying to do all in their power to add to the conven ience and comfort of their guests. We le.arn that the hotel there will open this season on June 15th. Read t he advertisement of these world-renowned springs in another part of t his paper. W. C. T. U. Organized, There was a meeting held in the Methodist church on Monday even big by the ladies of the town for the purpose of organizing a local branch of the Womans' Christian Temper ance Union. Mrs. M. E. Cartland first delivered a very touching and eloquent address pointing out the necessity of an organized effort to cope with the ever increasing organ ized and aggressive liquor traffic, and urging the ladies to form themselves into a union for this purpose. She s iid in substance that the liquor traffic, is an evil that strikes directly at the homo .and home life and for this reason if for no other should be opposed by the women of our land as theirs is a life peculiarly devoted to and in a manner circumscribed by home and home inlluences. The fu ture of our State and nation is in the hands of the mothers of the boys of the present generation and therefore it behooves every person, who has In his heart a love of home and country, to uphold the hands of our noble women in this great work. She also spoke of the moral and religious side of the question, and there lsnodoubt that liquor keeps more young men out of the church and away from God than all other agencies of the devil combined. After the address by Mrs. Cartland those present proceeded to perfect an organization. Twenty-six members were enrolled. The following officers were elected: Miss M. B. Gregory, President; Mrs. .1. H. Bullock, Mrs. T. A. Spencer, ilrs. S. I). Booth and Mrs. R. (). Gregory, Vice-Presidents; Mrs. .1. Y. Paris, Secretary; Mrs. E. T. Crews, Treasurer. The next meeting was appointed to be held at Mrs. McCullen's on Tues day, May l!)th, at o'clock p, m. All who desire to become members of the organization or are Interested in the work are cordially invited to attend. A Sure Thing. It is sniil that nothing is sure except death and taxes, but that is not altogether trne Dr. Kings New Discovery for Consumption is a sure cure for all lung and throat troub les. Thousands can testify to that. Mrs C. B. VanMetre of Shepherdtown, W. Va-, says 'I had a severe case of bronchitis and for a year tried everything 1 heard of, but got no relief. One bottle of Dr. Kings New Discovery then cured me absolutely." lis infallible for croup, whooping cough,grip, pneumonia and consumption. Tjy it. It's guaranteed by J. G. Hall. Trial bottles free.

The Graded School Board, consist ing of Dr. T. L. P.ooth, .1. 1 Sted man. W. T. Lyon, C. D. Ray, E. T. White, S. W. Hooper and .Ino. 1 1. Bul lock, held a, meeting Tuesday morn ing at the offices of Drs. Hays & Booth. Dr. T. L. P.ooth was elected chair man of the new board and Mr C. D. Ray secretary. Mr. W. T. Lyon did not qua lify as a member of the P.oard and Dr. I. H. Davis was elected In his stead, which we consider a most ex cellent selection. Dr. Davis was then made treasurer of the P.oard. There was no election of superin tendent or teachers at this meeting. The Board will meet again next Mon ti ay night at which time an election may take place. We hope the Board may secure the services of a talented ami progressive superintendent to succeed l'rof. Hodgin and feel sure they will spare no pains to secure the' right man And just here we would make a, suggestion to the P.oard relative to the se'ection of teachers. By all means leeVirone but highly competent and skilled teach ers be employed. Let the only test be fitxkss. The position of teacher in this school is an Important one. It is no private snap to please or make friends for any particular Indi viduals or families. There is a higher view in such matters than this. Ox ford is just as much entitled to the best talent In teachers as other places. Itisand has been the home of schools and the people ask for the best find have but the best. In the selection of teachers thoughts of friendship or sympathy should not be considered only capacity and fitness. Prof. Hodgin, the retiring superin tendent, submitted his report which contains many good recommenda tions to the Board as to the conduct of the school, which they- will do well to consider. Prof. Hodgin Goes to Union Springs, N.Y. Prof. S. H. Hodgin, who has been Superintendent of the Oxford Graded School for the past year, and who has tlone excellent work for the school, has resigned and goes to Union Springs, in Western New York, where he has been made General Su perintendent of the Friends' School We are informed that this is an ex cellent position and pays a good sal ary. Prof. Hodgin will, no doubt, give entire satisfaction in his new field. He has done most efficient work here and his many friends are sorry for him to leave Oxford. We wish for him in his new home the highest success. The Colored Graded School. This school came to a close this week and the labors of the session are at an end. The closing exercises were held at the Opera House Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday nights. which were largely attended by the friends of the school. The program was well arranged and the children acquitted themselves exceedingly well, proving that they had under gone good tralulng, and the teach ers were diligent in the discharge of their duties. We hope the school will make greater strides next term and that no colored boy will be found loaning around the streets aw has been the case the past session. Rev Walter Pattillo has had charge of the school for two sessions, putting in good work, and has been ably as sisted by Rev. M. C. Ransom, who ranks next to Rev. G. C. Shaw as a teacher. Two New Dailies. hariotte is to nave two new newspapers. Closely following the announcement by the Observer that It would shortly Issue an afternoon edition to lie called the Evening Chronicle came the news that a new morning paper would be established. The -Observer, in announcing the new enterprise, says it feels that an Independent afternoon newspaper will fill a long-felt want, and that on May 2."th the first issue 01 The Even ing Chronicle will make its appear ance. The News asserts that the need of a Democratic morning dally has long been felt In the community, and to satisfy that need a Democratic morn ing dally would be started. It is un derstood that .f2r,000 wa s subscribed by several prominent business men. The name of the new daily is to be The Charlotte Democrat. The date of its inauguration is not stated. Letter to J, S. Brown, Oxford, N. C. Dear Sir: You sell good goods and give full measure. It's a pleasant way of doing and it pays, besides. We do It for the same reason, and it has made us the foremest paint house in the United States. Short weight and adulterations are the vices of business They area natural response to the demand for cheapness. The world is full of them the grocery world and the paint world, and every kind of world. You know and we know that it doesn't pay. People change their grocer or paint man as soon as they tind it out. We don't know about groceries you tell your people about them the full measure and unadulterated paint is Devoe Lead and Zinc. Fewer gallons takes less Devoe Lead and Zinc than of mixed paints to paint a house. Wears longer twice as long as lead and oil mixed bv hand. Yours truly, F. VV. Diovois & Co., New York. P. S. .1. F. Edwards sells our paint. Quick Arrest. J. A. Gulledge of Verbena, Ala was twice in the hospital from a severe case of piles causing 24 tumors. After doctors and all remedies failed, bucklen's Arnica Salve quickly arrested further inflammation and cured him. It co quers aches and kills pain. 25c at J. G. llalls. $1.00 Reward. I will pay $1.00 to the first person who sends me on a postal card the address of Mrs. Sally F. Mangum daughter of Charles and Nancy Mitch ell, provided it is received by May IS, V.m. T. T. HICKS, Henderson, N. C. P. S. If she is dead I will pay the same for the address of her children any. T. T. HICKS. Subscribe to the Public Ledger, Bonds Defeated. So the bonds are defeated and Ox ford has taken a step backward. The vote was SO for and .3 against bonds and after the registration books were purged and the names of those unqualified to vote were dropped, the bonds lacked just one vote to carry them through. Just here we learn the Importance of those who stand for a principle working until the last hour. By just a little more effort the friends of this measure might have easily carried it. The only plan in politics either municipal, county or State Is to work all the time and take nothing for granted until the last vote is counted. Our plan is to work and vote early and leave no stone unturned. Let us, however, not be discour aged, but under the leadership of our excellent Board of Town Commis sioners go forward to secure public improvements. We shall not be able to get everything at once, but we can first have our streets and side walks put in first-class order and later work for electric liirhts and waterworks. Mrs. Sophia Hobgood Dead. Airs. Sophia Hobgood, relict of the late Alfred Hobgood, departed this lite on last 1 hursday morning at her home in ( )xrord. Airs. Hobgood had been in declin ing health for some time, but the im mediate cause of her death was a stroke of paralysis the day previous. .She was well known in Oxtord and Granville county, being a devoted christian lady and a consistent mem ber of Oxford Baptist church. The funeral services were conducted from this church on Friday afternoon, and the pall-hearers were: 10. Iv. Howard, Joe Meadows, J. G. Hunt, W. S. Stark, Judge Graham, Jas. Long, S. W. Cooper, C. D. Ray. The interment was In Elmwood. Mrs. Hobgood leaves ten children to mourn her death four daughters and six sons. Her daughters are Mrs. Geo. Knott, of Kinston, Mrs. Thos. Jeffreys, of Rocky Mount, and Misses Scotia and Lettle. Her sons are Messrs. (Jus. Sam, Baldy, Otis, Bixley and little Alf Hobgood. Mr. and Mrs. (Jeo. Knott, of Kin ston, and Mrs. Thos. Jeffreys, of liocky Mount, attended the funeral. To the bereaved family we extend our kindest sympathies. Amy a di vine Providence comfort them. They Should Have a Chapel. We believe that some arrangement should be made by which our people at the county home can have the ad vantage of divine services. For some time the Episcopalians have, during the summer months, held services at the county home, which has been much appreciated by the inmates and also by Mr. Walters, the excel lent superintendent. We urge upon our County Commis sioners ine importance 01 having a chapel of some kind built in which services can be regularly held. The cost would not be much and it is cer tainly much needed. Let our Com missioners consider this matter. In our opinion we owe it to these peo pie at the county home to give them every advantage we can afford. The iulluence of the gospel Is of more im portance than anything else and much can be done towards uplifting and encouraging these unfortunate people. Most of them are old; their friends and loved ones are separated from them; life for them holds little of joy and cheer. Should we not, in every way possible, try to make their last days happy? It will oe a good work for them and for us. In this connection we wish to say a word about the work of Superln tendent Walters at the county home He has looked wrell to the duties of his office and has, In every way pos sible, administered to the comfort of the inmates. Such kindness cannot be too highly commended. Car River Cares. We are glad to state that Miss Lucy Daniel, who has been very sick for some time, is much better. Messrs. L. M. Smith and G. W ('lay visited friends on the north side of far River a few days ago. Miss Mary Andrews, of Raleigh, is visiting in the community and will spend some time with relatives and friends. Our farmers are working harder than they have In a long time. The weather Is very favorable for them now, and they aremaklnggood of it. LUCK.

Left out last week. Will you please allow me space in your valuable paper. I live six miles South of Greenville in a healthy lo cality and a njee farming section. The people in- this community are very Industrious. They all try to stay ahead with their work. Lots of people are through setting out their tobacco. Among those who have finished are Capt. E. E. Dail, E. E. Braxton, James Baker, John D. Puryear. L. C. Fletcher, N. Hardee, James Hardee, N. Hardee, Jr. Lots of others are nearly through. 1 1 has been a nice time to set only a little cool. Corn that is up is look ing a little red, cotton is coraiug up. Those who have replanted their to bacco report a splendid stand. I regret very much to hear of the death of my esteemed friend and brother. Gus Frazier, of near Berea. I believe Granville county has lost one of its noblest and purest citizens, and A. F. and A. AI. Lodge No. 204 has lost one of its best members. Bro. Frazier was ever ready to lend a helping hand to the needy. The writer extends to the bereaved fam ily his heartfelt sympathy. God's will be done.
