She "Fell on Sleep" Sunday Morning About 9 o'clock. Death has again visited Oxford and claimed for its own Mrs. J. M. Balrd, which occurred Sunday morn ing about 9 o'clock, after several months' illness. She was greatly be loved by all who knew her, as she was cheerful, bright and lovable In disposition, but at the home fireside the beauty of her character shone forth to her devoted husband and relatives. The funeral services were held Monday morning at 10:30 from the Presbyterian church, conducted by her pastor, Rev. John E. Wool, and were attended by a large assem blage of sorrowing relatives and friends. From the church the re mains were conveyed to Elmwood cemetery where they were tenderly laid to rest to await the resurrection morn, the mound being covered with beautiful flowers. The pall bearers were Messrs. W. D. Lynch, T. W. Winston, Willie Howell, M. P. Cham blee, C. W. Bryan, James Long, Wil lie Landls and William Clapp. Mrs. Balrd was a member of the Presbyterian church and she died as she had lived, strong In the faith and with calm resignation. To be thus taken away in the prime of Hf 3 seems untimely, but our Heavenly Father knows what Is best for each of his children. She leaves behind a devoted hus band and sister and other relatives to grieve over her death. May the tears of mourning be wiped away in the blessed assurance that the Lord doeth all things well, and may the peace of God, which passeth all un derstanding, come into the lives and hearts of the bereaved, giving them comfort in the thought that the be loved object of their affections now rests from her labors and that her end was peace.

Mr. Maurice Daniel, of Oak Hill Township and one of the oldest mag istrates in the county, has resigned after serving his people for more than 30 years. During all these years he never had one of his judgments revers ed as he was a careful and painstaking official.

May the Lord continue to add His blessing to the aged couple, and when life's journey Is over gather them into rest eternal is the sincere wish of the editor. The Exchange Hotel. The Public Ledger la pleased to note the fact that the Exchange Hotel continues to grow In popular favor with the traveling public and a now largely patronized. The ta bles are supplied daily wh the best the market affqrda, and Is tempting ly crepared under the supervision of Mrs. Smith wno.is wen up in tne arc or cooking. Mr. L, F. Smith has just completed an addition ot two nice rooms, and extended the porch near ly all around main building, which will add greatly to the appearance of the Exchange when fully completed. The comfort of the guests are also be ing looked after as the rooms are be ing refurnished with nice bedsteads, springs, felt mattresses, etc, If it becomes necessary to still give Oxford better hotel facilities Mr. Smith says he will meet the demand by the addition of more rooms, and make the Exchange the best $2 per day hotel in the State. We wish him continued success in his efforts to please all who may come, and do It so well that they will be anxious to come again. "- Bishop Joseph S. Key, Southern M. E Church writes: "We gave Di.

What the Editor Saw and Enjoyed in a Day's Outing Barbecue, &c. It is always a great pleasure to the editor to get away from office work and run off for a day in the country and mingle with such good and gen erous people as inhabit old Granville county. Friday afternoon we went out to the village of Stem and enjoy ed the warm hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Mayes and very Inter esting family, who know how to make you feel at home. We found that Stem was coming to the front as an educational center as Mr. Mayes about one year ago conceived the Idea that his community must have a first-class high school, and he erected a nice two-story school build ing and equipped ltwith modern con veniences along with a valuable li brary. It was the wisest act of his life and the Influence of this school will live long after he has passed into the great beyond. Prof. J. C. How ard, superintendent of public schools at that time, and a conscientious teacher and upright, christian gen tleman, consented to take charge of the school and employed competent teachers which proved a success from the start. The people were enthusi astic over the work of the school. The children and the young men and young ladles proved that they were anxious to learn and were full or the spirit that makes scholars. They will grow into educated and useful members of society and do much for the development of Granvillecounty. Stem is the home of Dr. Hardee, a fine physician and a progressive citi zen. He has erected a telephone sys tem over part of that territory which Is proving a great convenience to the people. It Is first-class and he hopes soon to be connected with Oxford, and we feel sure that our people will greatly appreciate the connection. We noticed that Mr. J. H. Gooch was making quite a large addition to his store to meet the demands of his business. The other two enter prising business men are Messrs. W. S. Gooch, a most worthy member of the Board of County Commissioners, and J. J. Renn, as clever a gentleman as ever lived In any community. Saturday morning It was our pleasure to join Mr. and Mrs. Mayes in their handsome trap, equipped with the now famous Behlen spring, for a drive over to Dutchville to at tend the barbecue and ball game, which proved a delightful one in early morning. We never saw a prettier picture of rural life. We passed by the homes of honest and Industrious farmers where happiness, peace and contentment reigns; by fields in which luxuriant corn was shooting and tassellng, and elegant crops of tobacco almost ready for the knife. The whiff of the country air, a sight of the "people whom God made" being at the best and noblest kind of toil, was most refreshing to us after having been shut up In an of fice for months. On arriving at Dutchville, the old capital of the township that has a world-wide rep utation for the production of the finest tobacco grown on the conti nent, we found the grove around the church crowded with people, who had assembled to enjoy a barbecue and baseball games. The good people of that section wanted to eDjoy the company of their friends so they conceived the Idea of having an old-fashion barbe cue and match games of baseball for their entertainment, and a committee composed of Messrs. Thomas Flem ing, Morris Fleming and H. G. Aiken was appointed to manage all the de tails, which they did to perfection, being assisted by many of their neighbors, and the editor congratu lates them upon the great success of the day's entertainment. There were at least 1500 people present and all seemed to have a royal good time. It was Indeed a pleasure to mingle among these gen erous, cultured and hospitable peo ple. The Dutchville section Is admit tedly one of the finest in North Caro lina, and the people are especially noted for their refinement, good liv ing and hospitality. When the large assemblage gathered around the long table Rev. M. L. Winston In a clear, distinct voice asked a blessing for the bounteous feast which they were about to enjoy. After dinner two very Interesting games of baseball were enjoyed. One game was between Creedmoor and Wilton, and resulted in a victory for Wilton, the score standing S to 10. Following that was a game between Lyon and Providence which resulted In a victory of 13 to 16 In favor of Lyon. The crowd present was one of the best behaved, best looking and most orderly we have ever mingled with. There were a large number of youug people present beautiful ladies and fine looking men who seemed to be having a grand good time as well as the older and settle ones. The gath ering was in all respects an Ideal one. Attempted to Wreck Train, Lewis Harris, a half-witted negro man, of Granville county, conceived the idea that the. section hands on the Durham & Northern Road, near Tar River, had done him an injury and wanted to get even with them. He went along the track Saturday morning and maliciously placed b cross ties on the rails about 75 or 100 yards apart and took a seat near by to await the coming ot the train from Durham. The careful engineer observed the obstructions In time to save his train, and they were remov ed from the track, Harris was found near by and was arrested and brought to Oxford and tried before Squire J. K. Wood and bound over to court in bond of $50Q which he could not give and was sent to jail to await his trial at court next week- NOTICE.
