S.Hunt the old Hunt homestead in East Oxford. Some of the South Carolina mar kets have already commenced to sell tobacco that was raised this year. Talking about rutrged honesty and adamantine backbone, and all that sort of thing:, just look at Judge rarKer.

Shamburger preached a thoroughly practical sermon Sun dav morning at the Methodist church and liie offertory by Miss Minnie Daniel, of Raleigh, wua most excel lently rendered as she possesses a sweet voice. A home with one thoroughly pleasant person in it is never a hope lessly unhappy home. As a factor in home-making, the resolution to be pleasant, to keep in tune, to "put a cheerful courage on," is worth any ten accomplishments and graces. There will be a barbecue and base ball game at Dutchville Saturday L'Ord.and It will no doubt be largely attended as the good people of that section know how to enjoy them selves. Hon. W. W.

When a man goes Into politics every mean thing he had done from his youth up is remembered against him. When he joins the church he is neffir reminded of his mean acts. The reason is that religion aims to lift him up, and politics is bent on drag ging him down. We have received the following from one of our subscribers: "Among the 7 candidate for the nomination of Register of Deed, 1 desire to most favorably recommend to the people of Granville Arch Taylor, as one of the most suitable men in the county for the important position. He is capable, polite and will prove a val able servant of the people If nom inated." Many persons are wondering if Charlie Reynolds will still hold on to the Winston-Salem- postoffice while he is canvassing with W. W. Kltchln. If he does, what has be come of that idea that Roosevelt gave out some time ago that oifice-holders must not be actlre participant In politic? Is It a ground hog case with the president now? And is it the kind of civil service that was original ly intended? Durham Sun. Brutally Tortured. A case came to light that for pe sistent and unmerciful torture has pethaps never been equaled.

It seems that Mr. John P. Sted man, chairman of the street commit tee, is carrying out the platform he laid down when a candidate for Mayor that of putting down con crete sidewalks and maeadamlz'ng the business streets of Oxford. He has proved of more value to the town as a commissioner than he would have been as Mayor, and the neoDle arreatlv appreciate his un- ar - m. - - - selfish efforts in improving the town.

Shamburger, the beloved and conse crated pastor of Oxford Methodist church, assisted Rev. W. H.Puckett in the meeting and preached pure gospel sermons which captured the hearts of the people of that section. The meeting was largely attended up to its close, which was Friday after noon. The amount of happiness that a thoroughly pleasant woman can cre ate has never yet been measured. Even a negatively pleasant woman, wno does not do nor say unpleasant things, Is extremely restful and apt to be approvingly remembered by her family and friends. A recent phi losopher has given the sage advice to the modern Coelebs In search of a wife, "Always choose a girl whose mouth turns up at the corners," and if that advice is followed the chances for a happy home are certainly doubled. Mr. Frank Vaughan, who works in the trimming department of the Taylor-Cannady Buggy Co., late Sat urday night sit down in tne winoow of his room over the Parham Bros. Co. stores, and lost his balance and fftll to the navement. He was found on the sidewalk Sunday morning about 2 o'clock in an unconscious condition and he was picked up and taken to his room and it was several hours before he regained conscious ness. Later he was taken to the res dence of Mr. T. B. Pendleton and Im proves very slowly. OSBORN HOUSE BURNED. Caught From Kitchen and Totally De stroyed. About 3 o'clock Tuesday mDrning the two story kitchin of the Osborn House was discovered enveloped In flames and the alarm was sounded. Owing to the lateness of the hour a large number of our citizens did not hear the first alarm and did not ar rive until the hotel was being eaten up by the fire. Those who were first on the scene helped the hotel people to save some of the furniture, etc. We understand that there happened to be no transient guest that night as all had left on the afternoon trains: The old wooden buildings burned rapidly and heat was Intense, but by hard work-the brick law otiices of Messrs. Graham & Devlnwere saved. In the burning of the Osborn House Oxford loses one of its ancient land marks as it was used as a residence many years prior to the civiil war. The property was owned by Messrs. Willie Osborn, of Greensboro, and R. W. Lasslter, of Oxford, and it probably will not be rebuilt owing to the surroundings. They had $,500 insurance, and Mrs. Carrie Wilder, who run the hotel.hai $1,000 Insurance on furniture, which did not begin to cover her loss, The loss on the building is estimated at about $4,000. The libraries of Judge Graham and Mr. W. A. Devin were dama.ged to some extent in removal, and Mr. John Mayes, Register ot Deeds, who roomed in one of the office buildings and who was looking after the ladles of the house, neglected to look after his own effects in his room until it was too late and they were burned, his loss amounting to about $30. To The Voters of Granville County. Having seen the card of Mr. J. J. Renn In the Public Ledger in regard to charges made by some person that the Democrats of Tally Ho Townsnlp would not stand by Mr. Mayes. I take this means o" inform ing the .public that no such report was circulated by me. I am a candidate for the nomina tion for the office of Register of Deeds at the hands of the Demoratlc party, but would prefer defeat rather than a nomination secured by misrepre senting facts. E. B.

On reaching their journey's end the sun hangs low, so on their return homeward they must go. The welkin rings with their music galore, and on reaching home they are a little sore. To their domiciles they promptly go, and soon In chigoedom they are supinely at unrest. Thus the eventful occasion end8,long to linger in the recollection of all who were in attendance.

Devin, of Oxford, joined Messrs. Walter Hobgood. Graham Daniel and others on the banks of the Tar Thursday morning near Gooch's millforagood old fashion fishing frolic. They at once launched out down the river and long before dinner hour had a plenty of fish for the cook, who had located at a spring near the river. After enjoying a fine dinner and a good rest the party again entered the river and seined until nearly sun down and succeeded In catching an other nice lot. In the afternoon there occurred quite an exciting inci dent. While drawing the seine in and every one was doing their best to catch some chub that were jump ing to get out of the seine, a big eel about three feet long concluded it was getting too hot around there for him and he must hide If possible, so he darted up one of the pant legs of Mr. John Mayes and made lightning speed up to his body, concluding that around it was a good place to rest to which Mr. Mayes protested. There was a lively time for awhile in the water between Mr. Mayes and the eel, but after a brave fight Mr. Mayes, assisted by others, succeeded in cap turing the slippery visitor. This closed the day's enjoyment, and after dividing up the finny tribe all sought their buggies and rolled home, much fatigued from their day's sport. A Retraction. In the May number of the L.adles' Home Journal was published an ar ticle in which it was said that "Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription" con tained among other lugredlents tlcct ure of digitalis, tincture of opium and alcohol. Immediately upon publica tion of this article the K. V. Pierce Medical Company instituted suit against the Journal based upon the claim that none of these ingredients was contained In the medicine. The ladies' Home Journal now re tracts eATery word they said and tes tify to the purity of the medicine. They say: "Ve employed three lead ing chemists in different cities to make an analysis of the preparation from bottles bought in the open market. These analysis, one and all now show to us conclusively that not a single one of the ingredients mentioned by us in the analysis quoted that is, either digitalis, opium or alcohol was contained In the bottles analyzed, and wearecon vinced that the otlieers of the Com pany were absolutely truthful in their claim that not one of these in jurlous ingredients was contained in 'Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion.'
