May He who sits on the Great White Throne comfort and sustain the afflicted family In their sudden be reavement. Target Practice.

We take pleasure in calling atten tion to the published statement of the old reliable Rank of Granville, one of the leading financial institu tions in North Carolina. Its depos its, together with the Savings Rank, amount to nearly $244,000, or nearly a quarter of a million, this being the largest in the history of this institu tion. Integrity, skill and labor alone bring tnese results to a bank and necessarily only through the medium of its officers, directors and assist ants. In the Rank of Granville the list contains names of men distin guished by Individual success. They are known personally or by reputa tion to every one of consequence in this part of the State. Dispensary Makes a Good Showing. From the report of Mr. H. M. Shaw, Treasurer, found elsewhere in this paper It will be seen that the Oxford Dispensary has been most admirably conducted under the direction of Commissioners H. M. Shaw, J. D. Bullock and S. W. Parker. The sales for one year and 10 days amounts to $20,033. 77net profits $9,022.2."), Stock on hand $2,733.26. Amount paid the Town Treasurer, $4,500 and paid the County Treasurer $1,500. Mr. R. Rroughton by his wise man agement of the Dispensary has proved that he is certainly the right man in the right place and that the commis sioners made no mistake when they selected him to take charge of the business. Funny About Granville. There was one funny thing about Granville quarantining against Dur ham county on account of the small pox. There have been more cases of the disease In Granville probably than in Durham, and may have been at the time the quarantine took place. Roxboro Courier. Yes, it is funny about Person too, as it has quarantined against Dur ham on account of smallpox. Won der if It has more smallpox than Dur ham? We hope not. Will say to Brother Noell that Granville Is not up to Durham in smallpox, as Dr. S. D. Booth, our very vigilant health officer, says he has had thirteen cases, eleven of which came from Durham, and he is using eyery possible means to prevent the spread of the disease. Glad to say that there is not a case In Oxford with no new cases In the country. Has Broken Ail Records. By reference to the statement of the First National Rank of Oxford it will be seen that it has broken all former records since its establishment, as it has now on deposit $205,380.25, over $50,000 more than this tlmelastyear. This means that it has become the people's bank, and has a very large number of depositors, and the num ber of depositors means that the peo ple in Oxford and Granville and ad joining communitips are very much pleased with the way the National Bank does business and are fast real izing the great advantage they are deriving from this admirably con ducted institution. The latch string Is out for every one who wishes to open an account, and every accommodation is extend ed In keeping with good banking. Bear In mind that this progressive bank pays 4 per cent. Interest on de posits. The Public Ledger congrat ulates the affable officers upon the great success attained during the past year, with the wish that the bank may continue Its onward march of progress. County Commissioners. The Board met in regular session Monday morning at 10 o'clock with all the members present. A number of people were allowed to list taxes at single rates.

Several persons were allowed re bates on taxes. A large number of claims on ac count of small pox were allowed, which amounted to about $500.

The offertory by Miss Grade Clement was charmingly suns. Sunday School Exercises at the Episcopal Church, The children's Sunday School ser vices at the Episcopal church Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock was largely attended and proved very interesting indeed. The building of St Peter's Ladder was one of the principle fea tures of the entertainment, which was decorated with evergreens and flowers. On each round was the fol lowing words: Faith, virtue, know ledge, temperance, Godliness, broth erly kindness, love. As each word was hung on the round by a member of the school Rev. George Tolson,the consecrated Rector oi the church, defined in beautiful language the par ticular meaning of each word. Neat banners, the handy work of Miss Sue Hall, of different shades ap propriately inscribed were then awarded to the member of each class who had made the best record during the month of March. There was also a handsome class banner pre sented to the class that made the best record during the month, which went to that of Miss Charlotte Brltt and placed in charge of Miss Janie Booth. Next came the collection of mite boxes, and little Misses Katharine Lasslter and Janie Hunt, two sweet and pretty maidens, who stood on the chancel and received them as each scholar came forward.

Judge Peebles After the Lawyers. Lumberton, April 4. Judge Peebles convened court today. Only the mo tion docket was heard, as all the jury cases were continued by consent. Be fore adjourning court he denied the charges of unfairness and discourtesy to lawyers made against him and notified the bar which recently de clined to make up a docket, that he was too conscious of his duty in the matter to let such proceedings pass unnoticed and that in a few days when he had sufficient time to inves tigate proceedings for contempt he would take the matter up. priends .Jf rangers.

The time worn injunction, "Never put off 'til tomorrow what you can do today," is generally presented in this form: "Do it today!" That is the terse advice we want to give you about that h-cking cough or demoralizing cold with which you have been struggling for several days, perhaps weeks. Take some reliable remedy fVr it to-day and let that remedy be Dr. Boschee's Ger man Syrup, which has been in use for over 35 years. A few doses of it will undoubted ly relieve your cough or cold,and its continu ed use for a few days will cure you complete ly. No matter how deep seated your cough, even if dread cousumption has attacked your lungs, German Syrup will surely effect a cure as it has done before in thousands of apparently hopeless cases of lung trouble.

If you are going to use fertilizer It pays to get the best, so see Bullock & Mitchell and get some Baugh's or Ober's as they are at the head of the list. We would be glad to see you and make you prices on our fertilizers before you buy. Yours truly, 3 31 4, BULLOCK & MITCHELL. EASTER SUNDAY IN OXFORD. Beautiful Services and Grand Music at St. Stephen's Church. Sunday was a bright though cool day but with It came another glori ous anniversary of Easter the most joyful event the world over in the calendar of the church, and means the resurrection, the coming of "light and the going of darkness, happiness, flowers, gladness, comfort, the fulfill ment of a promise, the death of old doubts and the birth of new certain ties." The day was beautifully spent In Oxford as our people thronged the churches morning and evening and worshipped the risen Lord in the Beauty of Holiness. Everywhere joyous notes were proclaimed in the glad songs of the children at their special services, in anthem and in sermons. At St. Stephen's Episcopal church the services were notably Interesting and at 11 o'clock a large congrega tion crowded the beautiful edifice. The chancel was decorated with waving palms, cut flowers and pot ted plants and lent their beauty and fragrance to the inspiration of the glad services. Rev. George Tolson. the able and consecrated Itector, preached a most excellent sermon on the Risen Lord, at the close of which he administered the Holy Commu nion. The mUSiC Was naf PYlvllenm nnrl embraced songs of joy and exulta- i-S t w . . . uou over me icesurrectlon, and the COnsrecation sav fivlripnt. nnrirofln. tion.as It surpassed many former oc casions. The organ revealed the sweet and skillful touch of Mrs. It. W. Lassiter, who had so well trained the choir for the joyous services. Death of an Old Lady. Mrs. Ann Ellington, the oldest lady in Oxford, was gathered to rest Fri day, after an illnesn nfnhniit n. woot although she was not very strong oil account 01 ner age. sue was a quiet unassuming old lady and rare ly ever left her home, and was only well known by the older inhabitants of Oxford, but was most highly es teemed by her neighbors as she was kind hearted, and as long as she was able was always ready to visit the sick and those In distress. Mrs. Ellington was a devoted christian and her bible was her constant com panion, and she was prepared to en ter Into eternal rest. She leaves only one daughter Mrs. H. A. Stewart and one brother, Dr. Oliver Hicks, of Rutherfordton, to mourn her demise. She was the aunt of Judges O H. and W. R. Al len, of the Superior Court bench. The funeral took place from her late home Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock conducted by Rev. George Tolson, and the Interment was In Elmwood Cemetery. More Fertilizer and Better Fertilizer, There Is not a farmer in Granville and adjoining counties but what Is just now interested In fertilizer and is revolving over in his mind the best brands to buy to produce fine crops of tobacco, cotton and corn, and for this reason wTe call their special at tention to the large advertisement of Parham Bros. Co. on the 4th page of this paper. They sell none but the best brands, which have stood the test and been the means of making good money for the thousands that have used them.
