BRIEF DASHES OF THINGS HAPPENING. several marriages are on the topis ;or this month. Master Dorsey Lynch, who has been quite elck. Is much better. TheTaylor-Cannady Uugsry Com pany continues to Increase its out put as It shipped 402 bujrgles In Oc tober. Mrs. II. M. Shaw royally enter tained the Social Club Friday after noon, and delicious refreshments were served. The moon has changed and It 1 said that there are again visible signs of waterworks and electric lights in Oxford. Mrs. Houton has put a nice new fence around her lot on Main street and is adding a new porch. on the side of her dwelling. The oyster supper Friday night, under the management of Mrs. Wll lie Saudis for the benefit of the Epis copal church, proved a success. The horse shoe is an emblem of good luck. A Savings pass book is another such emblem. Oxford Sav lags Bank in the Bank of Granville. Mr. H. M. Shaw's latest work of art Is the production of a beautiful piece of grill work of his own design. which he has placed in the hall of his nice dwelling. Mr. S.'AJ. Wheeler has purchased the corner lot In front of the Hicks factory, Rectory street, and has raa.- terlal on the ground for the erection of a dwelling house. In a deer hunt one day last week I in North Granville Mr. Oscar Yancey killed a fine buck and a doe In two shots one right after the other, and was quite happy over his good luck. Squire T. (J. Taylor made two people happy Sunday night when he joined in heart ani band Mr. .Tames V. DIckersou, of Ourh; m, and Mrs. Martha Renn Peace, of Fishing Creek township. Nature Is glying her annual gor geous free color show of the woods and defying all the schools with her lavish and elaborate use of tints a mere human artist would never dare to put together. Do you want to be as happy ae a red-headed wood-pecker? Then open an account with The First Na tional Bank and draw 4 per cent, in terest on your money which will fill your heart with pleasure. Mr. W. W. Brummitt, the regis trar of Bell Town precinct, says he registered 24 young men, all of whom will vote for the Democratic ticket. This is a fine showing for this enthu siastic Democrat's precinct The fifth Sunday meetings of the Baptist church at Poplar Creek, Cor inth and Enon were largely attended and greatly enjoyed. Dr. Duuaway preached at Poplar Creek and Rev. Mr. Mltchlner, of Creedmoor, at Corinth. Mr. J. R. Moore, of Bell Town, and the champion hog raiser of the county, brought his 2-year old 975 pound pig to Oxford Friday and has him on exhibition near the market house. He is of the Toland China breed and Is quite a curiosity. The Seaboard will run a special trlan from Oxford to Henderson Sat urday on account or the Forepaugh fc Sells Bros, circus. Fare for the round trip will be S5 cents. Train leaves Oxford at 1) a. m., and return lug leaves Henderson at 6 p. m. The Board of County Commiss ioners will meet Monday and we are requested by Chairman Crews to say that owing to the election Tuesday there will be no session that day and If you have any business before the Board why be on hand Monday Mr. Andrew Spencer well equip ped with a nice horse and buggy started out Tuesday to furnish the people on Route No. 7 with their mail. Mr. Spencer is a steady and reliable voung man, and will make the government an excellent pains taking officer. It is a pleasure to ua to hear many high compliments paid the great speech delivered by Gov. Ay cock In Henderson Friday. He Is North Carolina's greatest orator, and his administration has been the best and cleanest the State has en joyed since the civil war. Gen. B. S. Itoyster, Granville's greatest orator, highly entertained the people of Franklin with forcible and fiuely delivered speeches on the Important Issues at Youngsville Fri day and at Franklinton Saturdaj. The crowds were large and enthusi astic and heard him gladly. Rev. and Mrs. Geo. M.Tolson ar rived Saturday afternoon via the Seaboard and were accorded a warm welcome by the members of the Epis copal church. The Rectory had been set in order by the ladies and quite a number of presents awaited their inspection and appreciation. The Durham Sun of July .30th has been a wanderer for 3 months and Its light has been hid from this office. It arrived In our mall Monday the 31st of October. The Sun is always such a welcome visitor to this office that we even sit down and read It over as Its columns are always full of interest ing matter. FOT7ND One mouse-colored male.

Jones request your presence at the twenty-fifth anniversary of their wedding November eleventh nineteen hundred and four from eleven to four o'clock, p. m Come Off the Track. Our Republican friends are cast, down as they were forced to aban don their campaign in the county last week. They only filled two ap pointments, Wlltcn and Grlssom, and as but few people showed any Interest In the g. o. p. along with no speakers to preach Imperialism, trust ism and abuse the party of the peo ple Chairman J. T. Cozart decided to abandon the campaign. This never occurred before in Granville. Grand Time. Mr. Brocks Parham. Chief Mar shal at the Weldon Fair, with nls gallant aids, Dr. Nat Daniel, Col. D. Currln, Major W. E. Massenburg and Messrs. J. S. Hunt, R. Li. Hamilton and Willie Taylor, returned Friday from Weldon and report a grand time. It is said that Col. D. Currin proved the most popular of the dele gation as his tine physique coupled with his handsome attire and happy nature made him the beau Ideal of the occasion. Tobacco Advanced. Large quantities of tobacco con tinue to come in dally on the Oxford market and medium grades seem to predominate while medium to fine wrappers seem to be scarce. The market Is strong and active and there has been a general advance In prices. A Southern Granville farmer told us Friday that he averaged $3 per hun dred more for tobacco in Oxford than he received on other markets and would be here in a few days with another load. Felt Highly Honored. Not long ago a gentleman, high up In political estimation, was making a "stump speech" in a small town in favor of the Democratic party. He made a remark which did not exactly suit some of his hearers. A man in the audience spoke up and said to the speaker, "Yow go to h 1!" The political orator calmly looked at the man, and said: "My dear sir, I am indeed highly honored; this is the first time that I have received an invitation from any one of my oppo nents to visit their headquarters." Dead Baby Found. While some of the school children were playing Friday at Bell Town they found the body of a dead colored Infant with part of the head gone. Coroner Sam Wheeler and Dr. S. D. Booth were notified and they went out to investigate and hold an in quest. A jury was selected composed of W. W. Brummitt, B. T. Fuller, M. P. Crews, W. T. Roberts, J. T. Ayer ette and Pete' Bullock and after dil igent inquiry returned a verdict that the Infant came to its death by tbe neck being broken by parties un known. There is no suspicion as to the guilty parties and the death is shrouded in mystery. Roll Up a Big Vote. Again let those Democrats who feel a pride in the welfare of Granville county be reminded that it is impor tant, very Important, that a full vote be polled at this election. The stand ing of GraLvllle county in the State convention should not only be main tained bat advanced. Eet every pre cinct make an effort to roll up a big ger vote for Gov rnor than ever be fore. By doing this Granville's strength In the State convention can be made greater than ever before, un less other counties keep pace with it. Again every precinct has a local in terest In a larger vote than eyer be- fore.for it will give the precinct great er weight In the county convention unless the other precincts make a slmlllar gain. . Disastrious Wrecks. Carelessness is responsible for many a railway wreck and the same causes are makt ine human wrecks of sufferers from throa- and lung troubles4 But kince the advent of Dr. Kings New Discovery for consmmption; coughs and colds, even the worst case can be cured, and hopeless resignation is no longer necessary. Mrs. Lois Crags; of Dor- cheser, Mass., is one of many whose life was saved by Dr. King s New Discovery. lhis great remedy is guaranteed for all throat and lung diseases by all druggist.

STIMSON, Jeweler. OUR COUNTY CANDIDATES. AN HONORABLE SET OF MEN. They Should Receive Our Warmest Support Next Tuesday. No candidates in the State or else where are more worthy of a loyal support than the Granville county candidates. They are all honest, ca pable public servants who have been tried and found all that could be de slrtd. Let us view them respectively. Take Sheriff Howard, the present Incumbent of the Sheriff's office. Cer tainly no county can boast of a safer, cleaner and more capable and prompt official than he. He collects and set tles the county's taxes promptly. In the service of process we have yet to hear a single complaint of him. He is an ideal officer, and in the perform ance of his dutle, reflects credit upon the county. As to John B. Mayes, the present popular and efficient Register of Deeds, his record is known of every body in the county. He is a most painstaking, capable and obliging officer, and has served the county most satisfactorily. If there is a more genial and warm-hearted man than John Mayes we have yet to find him. In Wm. T. Lyon, the present in cumbent and candidate for Treasurer, we have a man who has been well tried by the people of Granville coun ty and Is as true as steel. Mr. Lyon has served the county most efficient ly in the office of Treasurer, which Is a very Important office, and has proven himself the right man in the right place. Mr. Lyon is a gentle man of education and culture, and although he is no public speaker and seldom appears 1 . public in that ca pacity, yet his advice is sought in business and political circles, and he le juBtly regarded as a safe and sensi ble man, and Is peculiarly fitted for his position. As to our distinguished friend, Hon. A. W. Graham, we need eay little more than we have said of him in the uast in The Public Ledger. He has for several terms made Granville county a most able and efficient rep resentative in the Legislature, and one of which she can justly feel proud. His record there has ever been on the side of the people of his county and State, while in the Leg islature he was one of the recognized leaders of that body and was respon sible for much wise legislation, espe cially in taxing railroads and cor porations which have too often es caped their just proportion of taxep. Granville county is to be congratu lated that she returns such a man to Raleigh to represent her. As to Samuel M. Wheeler, the pres ent elficleut Chief of Police of Oxford, and our candidate for the important office of Coroner (he is the only man In the couuty who can arrest the High Sheriff) we know it is unneces sary to say much. Suffice it to say that his heart is as large, as genial and as honest as the large smile that plays over his face when he is making a political speech in the court house. Another candidate nominated by Granville and Person counties for the Senate and cne whom we are gladly supporting is Mr. Jas. A. Long. He is a legislator of experience and will represent the district with abil ity and credit to himself. Granville will give him a hearty support and poll a large vote for him. We shall feel that in his hands our Interests are safe. Lei; us rally to the support of these candidates. From now until election day let us do our full duty. They have served us well, and let us give them such a support that we shall feel pioud of their majority and of our splendid victory. The time is short and we must be up and doing. Letter to J. D. Brinkley. Oxford, N. C. Dear Sir: A big mill owner, Spar tansburg, S. C, wanted 5,000 gallons of paint, and bought by price; paid 5 cents less than ours; got a "lead and zinc" paint; but the lead was sul phate of lead, not carbonate. Sul pqate costs about half and covers about half. That was adulturated about six times as much as the 5 cents paid for. He "saved" 5 cents; and it cost him 30. Oh no; It cost him more than that; we forgot the labor. Can't work it out exactly; don't know how long it'll wear. Short measure besides; that alone was twice as much as his "saving 5 cents. It was thin too; some loss there; don't know how much. There was too much dryer In It. The maker made something off that; he didn't. Taking it altogether, he didn't make much by that 5 cents. Go by the name; and the name is Devoe lead and zinc. Yours truly F. W. DEVOE & CO. P. S. J. F. Edwards sells our paint. Music School. Miss Hamme's School of Music opened Nov. 1st.

I bought a box of DeWitts Witch Haz 1 Salve on the recommendation of our druggist," so writes C. H. LaCroix, of Zavalla, Texas, "and used it for a stubborn case of Piles- It cured me permanently." Sold by J. G. Hall. The Bank of Granville. We cafl attention to the change in advertisement of the Bank of Gran vllle in another column. As the fall season opens with good prices for produce you will likely wish to de posit your money in a good strong bank. The Bank of Granville Is a commercial bank and offers every ac commodation along that line, while the Oxford Savings Bank in the Bank of Granville pays 4 per cent. Interest on all time deposits, compounded semi-annually. Cheatham-Freeman. The following invitation has been been received by friends in Granville: Mr. and Mrs. R A. Freeman, request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter Maude to Mr. Frederick Alexander Cheatham on the morning of Wednesday, the ninth of November, nineteen hundred and four at ten o'clock. Rolesvllle Baptist church, Rolesvllle, North Carolina. Good Speeches Campaign Closes at Providence Friday. The campaign In Granville the past week was of good cheer and the can didates met with a warm reception at their appointments. At Knap of Reeds Saturday Judge Winston, of Durham, joined the candidates, and made one of the strongest aad ablest speeches heard lu the campaign. He was followed by Judge Graham, who it seems has acquired new vigor and made decidedly the best speech he has made during the campaign, and both speakers were heartily cheered by the good crowd present. The county candidates were present and made their announcements. Let every Democrat be sure and go to the polls and vote. On Wednesday evening the candi dates spoke at Dickerson. This Thurs ,ay night they speak in Oxford In the Court Houee, so don't forget to come out and hear them. The ampaign will close at Providence Friday afternoon with a grand bar bacue, and speaking will commence about one o'clock and continue until after night. Quite a number of spea kers will be on hand and entertain the large crowd expected to be pres ent. Of course you'll be there ! Let Us Stand by Our Friend. As a Democrat speaking to Demo crats I desire to say a word concern ing a man who has always proven himself a true friend of Granyille county. I refer to Hon A. W. Gra ham. As there are a few of our Dem ocratic people who are opposing him in his candidacy for the Legislature, I desire to hold up his record before them. Of course Judge Graham, like all public men who stand for some thing and do something, has had some opposition. The best man who ever lived could not go to the Legis lature and do something without making some enemies. If he was content to be a figure-head, do noth ing for his people but hold his seat down, then he might please every body who complain, but not other wise. Now what is the little opposition to Judge Graham based on? Mainly because he passed a road law. We all remember that upon the urgent needs and demands of our people Judge Graham passed our first road law the bond law. To this there was opposition later so he promised to repeal It if a majority of the peo ple requested it done by vote. This they did and he promptly repealed the law. Then later on at a mass meeting thoroughly advertised so that every citizen knew of It and could have a voice in it, the people unanimously requested the passage of the present road law. WhileJudge Graham considered the present law a fairly good one he thought the first law which was repealed by request a better one; still in deference to the wishes of his friends he repeals it. Now if anybody is 0 blame it is not the Judge, but the people. The truth Is some people would fight any road law as they are opposed to improve ments if they cost anything. How any man can ride over the roads of Northern Granville and then fight good roads is more than this writer can see. They have done more to de velop our country than any other agency and will do the same for Gran ville county. We have lost in popu lation and property value by our present ba1 roads. As to Judge Graham's record In other things It is good. He has stood for the Interests of our people and against Radicalism in every crisis. He Is a strong temperance man both by precept and example. Let us all rally to his support and give him a large majority. He has served us well, and deserves It. Let us think well before we scratch the name of so true and worthy man. J. R. WALTERS. October 31, 1904. Ten thousand people crowded in Madison Square Garden, New York City, Monday night to hear Judge Parker epeak. It was the most en thusiastic meeting held in years, and Judge Parker said he was going to carry New York and be elected Presi dent. Doesn't Respect Old Age.

Go elsewhere to get tough beef there is none at Steagall's, the Ral eigh street butcher. Stock Market. If proof positive were wanted as to the future course of the stock market, the events in the past week should have furnished sufficient evidence to convince the most skeptical. A war cloud, which for some days caused great apprehension, overhung the en tire horizon. Ordinarily, this would have caused a stiff break of from ten to fifteen points in the stock market; In this case, it was only a ripple and the market recovered so quickly that Its strength was amazing. There Is no question but that Russia and England will settle their differences amicably, and 'that the stock mar ket will continue, uninterruptedly, on its upward course, until the prices of 1903 are fully recovered. Condi tions warrant much better prices, and they will ultimately be reached. All of my clients are accumulating profits rapidly, aud I believe the best Is yet to come. There are any num ber of the low priced Issues which can be safely bought this week on a five point margin, and held for a ten point advance. This is not merely an assertion on my part, but is the opinion of all the wise heads of Wall street, and every Interest specula tive, commercial and political is on the side of higher prices. Accounts of $ 100 and upwards will be received, to be operated under cli ents directions, or I will take charge of the account, buying and selling as my Judgment directs, Immediately forwarding notices of all purchases and sales, and monthly statements, II so requested. Buy wheat, and buy it to hold. Prices are going very, very much higher. Very truly yours, THOS. G. TAYLOR. A Runaway Bicycle. Terminated with an ugly t ut on the l(g of J. B. Ori.er.

Bcience that has addled the brains of some of the cleverest men that this country has produced. A few have made a success of it, many a failure. Those who have achieved success, and consequently fortunes, have done so by devoting years of thought and study to the subject, making it a business, and conducting their trad ing in the markets with the same ap plication and common sense princi ples that they would apply to any other vocation. Just as the legal or medical practitioner becomes an adept or "specialist" in his particu lar calling, so the trader in the mar kets becomes a 'specialist" and by that name is known on the floors of the Exchanges. It is on these lines that I conduct my trading. I have made a "spe cialty" of the subject. As a merchant trades according to his market, to do I regulate my trading in the mar kets, buying and selling when in my judgment the time is ripe. I endeav or as much as possible not to be come prejudiced in my views, or par tial to one side of the market or the other, recognizing that there are TWO sides, on either of which, under proper conditions, money can be made. By thus avoiding becoming set in my opinion, and basing calcu lations less on personal Impresslonfe, and more from facts and correct in formation, I am able to operate to equal advantage on either the Bull or the Bear side. To a thorough technical knowledge of trading, I have added a knowl edge of what Is going on In all quar ters of the markets, of the intentions and plans of manipulators and oper ators, of the views and alms of in siders, until mv Information has come to be universally regarded as among the most reliable. Correct In formation Is invaluable, and certain ly indlspensible to any one desirous of achieving success in their opera tions. I spare no expense, labor, or trouble, to procure reliable informa tion, and the sources to which I have access for acquiring same are excep tional If my methods appeal to you, I will be pleased to hear further from you, and will exert n your behalf the same efforts I am exerting for many others. Others are making a good living out of trading in the specula tive markets, and there is no reason why you cannot do the same. There is certainly no business in the world j that gives the returns that trading in the investment markets, properly conducted, does a d in addition to intelligent trading you can feel as sured of a competent and conscien tious handling of your account. Conditions on which I will consent to manage and operate an account: That under no circumstances shall money be remitted to me, but that all deposits shall be made with your broker In your own name. That your money shall always be subject to your demand. That your account shall be in your own name and at all times subject to your own orders. That notices of all trades made shall be sent by the broker direct to you. That your broker shall be reliable, responsible and In good standing.
