Joyous and Jolly Faust Minstrels.
The Oxford Opera House Monday
night was packed with our people to
witness the performance of the cele
brated, joyous and jolly Faust Min
strels, who we daresay have no equal
on the road. It is clean, admirably
staged and composed of as gentle
manly set of men as we ever saw on
the road. It was good from start
to finish and received at the hands of
the immense audience rounds of ap
plause. This is the second visit of
Faust Minstrels and hope they will
come this way again as they have
completely captured our people.
The First National Bank.
We call your attention to the sworn
statement of this bank, made to the
United States Government, called for
Sept. G, 1904. This bank has had a
wonderful growth, and this may be
attributed to the fact that It has
from the very beginning been close
to the people of every section of the
good old county of Granville. It
stands for and with the people, for it
was by the ever increasing patron
age of the people that it has been en
abled to reach its present splendid
condition. Its officers and directors
have the entire confidence of every
one and its efficient management Is
carefully supervised by the United
States Government.

An Honor to the State and County.
The masses of the people have no
truer, more self-sacrificing friend than
the ever faithful Judge A. W. Gra
ham, as he will neglect his own busi
ness In order to benefit the people of
his county. He is one of the very
best public servants Granville has
had In many years, and his legisla
tive record is not surpassed by any
member of the respective bodies he
has had the honor of serving In. If
every true man in Granville will stop
and consider what he has done for
the public good they will give him
their loyal support and he will be re
elected by the largest majority ever
given a candidate In Granville coun
ty. He is Indeed a Representative of
which the State and all Granville
county should be proud.

OPENING OF GRADED SCHOOL
220 Bright and Neat Looking Boys and
Girls Enter.
On Monday morning our streets
were thronged with the bright and
happy girls and boys of the town,
witn bags or books oyer their shoul
ders, wending their way to the
graded school on College street. At
9 o'clock 220 entered the chapel and
after singing a hymn Rev. F. M.
Shamburger, pastor of the Metho
dist church, offered a beautiful peti
tion to the Throne asking His bless
ings upon the children and the work
of the school during the year.
Superintendent Robt. KIttrell and
teachers enter upon the fall session
with encouragement and the pros
pects seem bright for a most success
ful term. Under his wise manage
ment as superintendent, aided by a
very able board of trustees, the
school has greatly developed. The
new teachers added this t?rm as well
as the old ones are well fitted for
their work. Prof. Bland, of Burgaw,
the new principal, was present and
assumed his duties. He comes highly
recommended and will no doubt
prove a valuable acquisition to the
school, and The Public Ledger wel
comes him to Oxford.
We congratulate Dr. T. L. Booth,
chairman of the board of trustees,
on the valuable addition and other
marked Improvements he has made
In the school building. The new ad
dition was much needed as the
chapel was too small, and the
changes made in the class rooms add
greatly to the comfort and conven
ience of the pupils. Other improve
ments will be made in the building
later on. One thing much needed
now is some seats for the chapel, and
they are an absolute necessity. Will
not the friends of the graded school
which must take in all the people
of the town open their hearts and
subscribe money enough to purchase
comfortable chairs for the chapel.
The graded school is, or ought to be,
near all our hearts, and let us now
show our interest in the school by
our help in this work. The following
has been subscribed for the purchase
of the seats and you are cordially in
vited to join them: T. L. Booth $5;
J. T. Brltt $5.
Bank of Granville Statement.
We take pleasure in calling atten
tion to the published statement of
the old reliable Bank of Granville as
called for by the State Corporation
Commission. The personnel of the
Board of Directors of the bank and
the strong Influence that they exert
in the financial world will continue
as they have done in the past to
command confidence and lead to cor
dial exchange of business relations
with all their friends.
Death of Mr. J. M. Pittard.

of Granville, a son of Mr. George
Pittard, of Grassy Creek. He mar
ried a Miss Montague, of Person
county. He moved to Durham a year
ago. He leaves a wife and seyeral
small children to mourn his loss. His
remains were taken for burial at his
old home near old Grassy Creek
church. The widow and relatives

many friends.
