The broom handle was brought into play quick ly by Mrs. Evans and his snakeship was soon dead. Good Work of the Road Force. The people who travel the road from Oxford to Dement are loud in their praise of the work done on the road by Road Superintendent Flem ing, who is rapidly proving to be the right man in the right place. He has changed the road from Fishing creek bridge by opening up a new road from there to the road In front of Miles Guy's, thus avoiding all the red hills by the old Dickerson home stead. As soon as the Seaboard road erects a bridge across Its road the" new cut off will be ready for travel. The road force has been transferred to the Clay road and that will be put in first-class order. In this connection we most earnestly hope the County Commissioners will acquiesce iu the request to change the road to run out by Clay station and Messrs. Sim Tippett and J. I. Gordon's, thus avoiding the black ground, one of the meanest pieces of road in the county. The Public Ledger Is of the opin ion that if the people of the county who are so violently opposed to the improvement of the public roads will only 6ee for themselves the good work done on the roads in a short time they will change their minds. Of course all the roads cannot be worked at one time. Prof. Howard Resigns. Prof. J. C. Howard, who for more than a year has held the office of County Superintendent of Education for Granville county, has resigned, his resignation to take effect the first of October. He has made a capable and efficient superintendent and has done a good work for the schools of the county. Much regret has been expressed at his resignation, which will be a distinct loss to the cause of education. Prof. Howard goes to Stem, where he will conduct a high school. The new academy he will occupy Is now being built, which will be a large, convenient and commodious house. He is an excellent teacher and has had the offer of several good posi tions. The people of Stem are to be congratulated upon securing his ser vices. "We regret to lose him from Oxford and from his office, but we are glad that he will not leave his native county. Read the advertisement of his school in another part of this paper. As a successor to Prof. Howard will soon have to be appointed the names of the following gentlemen have been mentioned: Rev. J. G. BIoIock, an old Granville man, who has had considerable ex perience in teaching at Whiteyille.his present home, and who is anxious to return to his old home. Mr. Walter Stradley, a very schol arly gentleman and able speaker, Is spoken of for the important position, but it is not known whether he would accept or not if tendered him. If he would we are confident he would make an Ideal superintendent. Doubtless you are progressive; Some medicines on the market are old fashioned.
