The engine on the Oxford & Hen derson Jioad while shlftingThursday morning at Oxford run off the track and was not restored to the rails until about X o'clock that night. The damage was slight. The 300 tickets for the second buggy have been given out and on the return of the editor from Wash ington City the name of the fortunate winner of the splendid pr;z' will be announced in our next Issue. H.G. Wells' story of wonderful adventure, "The Food of the Gods," promises to be his most popular work. Humor, excitement, pathos, philosophy all are ingredients of Mr. Wells' adventurous scien ti fic romance now appeariog in the December Cos mopolitan. On Saturday near Iierea while two brothers,,! 1 in and Harry Worth am, colored, were fooling with a pis tol it was discharged the ball enter ing the body of Henry. At last accounts the wounded boy was in a precarious condition, and it is thought by the attending physician that he will not recover from the wound. The Orphan's Friend, the organ of the Great Masonic Fraternity of North Carolina, appeared Thursday in , new dress along with a new head, which is a great Improvement over the old one. The Friend Is nice ly printed and well edited, and the editor congratulates all connected with it upon the Friend's continued success. Bishop Cheshire was in Oxford Sunday and delivered an able sermon on missions in the morning at St. Stephen's Episcopal church. He ad ministered the Holy Communion and confirmed a class of seven. He was assisted by Rev. R. B Owenp, now of Rocky Mount, and his old congre gation was glad to have him with them again. Mr. W. N. H. Harris, who now makes his home In Franklinton, at tended the funeral of the lamented Dr. D. C. White. He called to seethe editor and said that he felt like he had lost his brother, as Dr. White was always so kind to him, "in fact," said he, "no truer or better man ever lived than Dr. White, and every body who knew him could not help loving him." Having just finished an eloquent disocurse upon the goodness of God in the Baptist church of Potecasl, Jesse Parker, a wealthy Carolinian, fell to the floor and expired in a few moments. The xragedy broke up a largely attended meeting of people held to give thanksgiving for the good crops of the fall. M r. Parker was seventy-six years of age and It Is thought he was overcome by e no tion. The friends of Mrs. Len Pltchford will deeply sympathize with her in the loss of a dear mother, Mrs. J. P. Spencer, which occurred In South Boston, Va., on Suhday,Nov. 22. She was a consistent member of the Bap tist church and much beloved by all who knew her. She was about 60 years of age, and was the sister-in-law of our highly esteemed friend, Capt. T. A. Spencer, of the Southern Railway. Emmett Boyett, the wife-murderer, acquitted Sunday at Klnston on the grounds of insanity, was sen tenced to confinement in the asylum for the criminal insane, In Raleigh, by Judge Brown. His Honor acted under the act of 1903, wherein provision is made for the confinement of murder ers acquitted on the plea of Insanity, and which requires a special act of the General Assembly to release one so committed. At the close of a snappy game, kicked In frozen weather, but clear, the score stood 10 to 0 in favor of the hardy sons of the old North State at Richmond on Thanksgiving Day. It was a surprise to all, and to none more perhaps than to the victorious team itself. Whatever hopes of suc cess it might have entertained, the reputation of Virginia this year crowded back any dreams of such victory as It won. It Is rumored that Hon. Chas. D. Mclver is to resign from the presi dency of the St'ate Normal College at Greensboro to accept the position of agent for the Peabody fund. The wise ones also predict that State Su perintendent J. Y. Joyner will suc ceed President Mclver in his present position, while Prof. J. B. Carlyle, of Wake Forest College, will be urged for the position of State Superintend ent. Cleveland Star. Last Thursday in Durham Goldie Mltchell.of Creedr.ioor, aged 22 years, was killed bv the passenger train on the Norfolk & Western Railroad. The facts in the case show that the man must have been drunk and when the passenger train approached he made no effort to get off the track. The train was brought to a quick stand still but the man had been mangled and was dead. He was a brother of J. S. T. Mitchell, colored. We pay more for mints and other furs than any one in the State.

The break of tobacco at the Farm ers Warehouse Wednesday, Novem ber 25, breaks all former records for this season in the sale of leaf tobac co, and we are sure it will be hard work for any other market to beat It. The Farmers Warehouse made an average on 24,073 pounds of $17.50 for everything on the floor, including scrap. How is this for Oxford and the Farmers Warehouse? J. F. Mead ows Is a regular hummer on the warehouse floor.

These sales were made under the most unfavorable circumstances that could have been gathered together. It was a dark, cold, snowy day, but. the hustling J. F. Meadows, propri etor of the Farmers AVarehouse. nerved himself for the task, pulled off his coat and went down after high prices which he got. This sale will long be remembered and to the pat rons and farmer friends they extend Invitation to all to come and they will see that high prices shall be theirs. A number of times during this season J. F. Meadows, proprie tor of the Farmers Warehouse, has averaged $12 to $13 for entire break, but this was the highest day of the season. Entered Into Rest. Mrs. Ann Hasseltine Taucett, the wife of Mr. James Faucett, was born August 1844, and died Nov. 27th, 1903. After a mixed life of 59 years of hap piness, sorrow, suffering, and service service for her loved ones and her God, she entered peacefully Into that "rest that remaineth for the people of God." Sister Faucett was the daughter of Nathaniel E. Cannady, one of the most excellent and honorable citizens Granville county ever had. Her death leaves Mr. John P. Cannady, her brother, as the only living child by her fathers first marriage. Sister Faucett was a devoted wife, not only in the gush of early love did she call her husband "darling" but to the close of life she addressed him by that affectionate title. As a mother, her love for her four children was un bounded. It must have been a joy to her to see her children all grown and starting off well in life. It was a noble work to raise four good chil dren. m In early life sister Faucett professed faith In Christ and joined Brassfield Baptist church. Her piety was not of the demonstrative kind, but was sincere and steady. She loved to at tend church whenever her delicate health would permit. On Saturday, the 28th of November, her body was carried from her home in Oxford and laid to rest in the old family burying ground In the coun try. The Interment was witnessed by many sorrowing relatives and friends. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. A. Stradley. "How blest the righteous when they die. When sinks a weary soul to rest; How mildly becomes the closing eye, How gently heaves the expiring breast." A FRIEND. Continues to Sell Well. All grades of tobacco continue to sell well on the Oxford market and the highest averages of the season were made during the past week, which were quite gratifying to our farmer friends. We verily believe it Is money In their pockets to sell their tobacco on the Oxford market as Its record for reaching the goal on high averages has not been surpassed by any other market. Come right along with your tobacco as every day is sales day except Sunday. Revolution Imminent.

After an illness of a few days, caused by paralysis, Dr. D. C. White died at. his home in Oxford on Friday, Nov. 27. Very little hope of his re covery was entertained after he was stricken, yet loving hearts and will ing hands did everything possible to make him comfortable. Dr. White was the eldest child of John and Hlcksey White and was born In Granville county February 1, 1827. He had two sisters, Mrs. Caro line Hunt, wife of the late Robert L. Hunt, and Mrs. Susan Floyd, wife of the Rev. James Bell Floyd, both of whom died several years ago. It was not his good fortune to have had a college training in the literary branches but being endowed with a rich fund of practical knowledge and sound judgment he was well equipped for his long and useful life. He be lieved in Granville and her splendid citizenship and found happiness and prosperity in a large degree in his native county. JTpon reaching his majority he devoted himself to his chosen profession and was graduated from Jefferson Medical College, of Philadelphia, In 1851. Immediately after receiving his diploma he enter ed an active practice in the Southern part of Granville, and no man has ever more worthily born himself In this honorable profession. For 35 years he was the "beloved physician" of a large scope of country. He was of quiet manner, dignified bearing, firm yet gentle, kind and tender in his ministrations, and combined with his skill and knowledge an ear nest devotion to his life work. He was especially kind and considerate of the young man just beginning to face the responsibilities of a doctor's life and his wise counsel and timely assistance olten cheered and comfort ed him in his perplexities. Dr. White was a splendid type of sturdy North Carolina manhood. He won friends without effort, who loved him for his sterling qualities. In business, in his intercourse with friends and neighbors, in his family, in his church and lodge, he had but one standard, uprightness, deyotion and charity. For sixty years he lived the gospel which he professed and as he grew older his faith grew stronger and his" hopes brighter. Next to his family and church came Alasonry and he wore the lamb skin of Innocence with pleasure to himself and with honor to the fraternity. He was made a Mason in old Mount En ergy L,odge more than fifty years ago and so long as he was physically able to do so he gave to Masonry that same faithful service that char acterized him in all the relations of life. He was a living example of "to be a good Mason is to be a good man." Whenever there was a call for work, or a plea for help, he re sponded promptly and cheerfully. His daily life was filled with that charity of which the Apostle spoke. The people of Oxford and Granville feel deeply the loss' of this good man and will always cherish his memory with pride. Dr. White leaves two devoted children, Dr. E. T. White, of Oxford, and Mrs. R. W. Harris, of Wilton, to whom the sympathies of our people are extended. On Sunday morning his funeral ser vices were conducted by Rev. A. McCullen, his pastor for four years, from the Methodist church, the Ma sonic fraternity concluding the ser vices at the grave. Mr. W. B. Ballou, Master of Oxford Lodge No. 396, A. F. and A. M., assisted by Past Grand Master B. S. Royster and Rev. R. H. Marsh, D. D., conducted the Masonic ceremonies. There were representa tives from ten or twelve lodges pres ent and a large number of Masons assembled to do honor to the mem ory of their beloved brother. The honorary pall-bearers were: Dr. L,. C. Taylor, Dr. H. C. Herndon, Col. R. O. Gregory, Maj. W. M. Gor don, Dr. S. D. Booth, Rev. J. A. Strad ley, Mr. J. T. Cheatham and Rey. R. I. Devin. The active pall-bearers were: Prof. F. P. Hobgood, Messrs. J. M. Currin. J. S. King, W. Z. Mitchell, Pete Bui lock and S. W. Minor, of Oxford, and R. J. Jeffreys and Duncan Bragg, of Mt, Energy. The floral offerings were many and beautiful, those of the Masonic Lodge and the Bank of Granville being espe daily handsome and appropriate. The Interment was in Elmwood Cemetery where his wife and other loved ones await the resurrection morn. A good man has gone to his reward. A Personal Expression. While many are giving their esti mates of the lamented Dr. D. C. White, whose death occurred on Friday morning at 8 o'clock, the editor wishes to say personally a word con cerning his departed friend. We say friend for he had been indeed one of our kindest friends. Our acquaintance with Dr. White began in 1874 when we first came to the dear old town of Oxford, but It was not until within about 14 years that we have known him well, but since that time we have enjoyed a warm friendship with him. His interest and sympathy for those he knew well was sincere and true. His friendship was cordial and nat ural. A kindly word of interestfrom him has often cheered us amidst the discouragements of our work. He was honest and pure and strong and without guile. No nature was freer from pride, arrogance or affectation. His life was great in Its simplicity and candor. He despised shams. If he was ever guilty of a wrong act we have never heard of It. If he had an enemy it is unknown to us; for no man, so far as we know, ever spoke ought against him. Nor have we ever known him to speak an unkind word or do an unkind act to any one. He despised not one of God's creat ures, and was the highest type of christian manhood and his spirit must have entered the portals of the eternal city and is now basking in the sunlight of the God he loved and served so well. Peace to the ashes of our beloved friend which now sleep beneath a beautiful flower covered mound in Elmwood Cemetery. A Costly Mistake. Blunders are sometimes very expensive.

On Thanksgiving day Granville was not behind other counties In ac cidents, as a boiler exploded at the home of Mrs. Satter white at Satter white killing a colored man by the name of Overby. It seems that Mr. S. V. Morton carried his portable engine over to Mrs. Satter white's to cut up a lot of feed, and from some unknown cause near dinner time the boiler exploded with terrific force killing a colored man named Overby, and sending a piece of the boiler through one room of Mrs. Satter white's residence, as the engine was not far away, knocking the clock off the mantle piece. Fortunately no one was In the room at the time. The accident was a distressing one, and caused a great deal of excitement In the neighborhood. No cause is assigned for the accident unless the water had gotten to low In the boiler. Confirmed as Postmaster.
