There are none so miserable or wretched as those who encourage a feeling of ill-will and enmity and cod dle hatred in the heart. Cultivate the spirit of forbearance. It seems to be a well settled fact that Nortnern Granville is more pros perous than South Granville as the people believe In raising hog and hominy along with tobacco. The amount of physical strength contributed to one day of bird hunt ing would saw wood enough to last a small family nearly all winter. But the one is fun and the other work.

The Orient Is using a vast amount of our leaf tobacco. The Western To bacco Journal reports thatelghthui -dred hogsheads, weighing 0,400,000 pounds will be shipped to the east from Portland, Oregon, this week.

Col. W. B. Ballou.the able and most efficient rep resentative, closed the trade for the lots a few days ago, and soon as possible work will begin on the huge building. Tobacco Declined in Price. There was a very large break of to bacco in Oxford Friday, and the ed itor was sorry to learn from a num ber of farmers that tobacco had de clined a few points on the better grades. For the past few years prices have dropped on the weed in Novem ber, as by that time the American and Imperial Companies can form some idea of the amount of the crop lalsed. Methodist at Henderson.

A meeting for the reorganization of the Inter-State Tobacco Growers Association, of North Carolina and Virginia, for Granville county, was held in the court house in Oxford Monday. After an able address by President S. C. Adams to a large and represen tative gathering of Granville county farmers who seemed to be thorough ly imbued with the idea and necess ity of organization, the meeting went Into an organization which re sulted as follows: Mr. M. W. B. Veazey, of Stem, hav ing resigned owing to ill health as president. Mr. M. Blalock, of Tally Ho, was elected president, Mr. D. T. Winston, of Adonlram, Secretary and Treasurer. The following named gentlemen were appointed as organ izers: For Brassfield, G. L. Allen; Dutchville. M. W. B. Veazey; Tally Ho, M Blalock: Walnut Groye, J. G. Shotwell and Caleb Knott; Oak Hill, J. L. Watkins and J. S Hobgood; Sassafras Fork, W. B. Royster; Salem, N. G. Crews; Oxford, G. L. Allen and J. G. Shotwell; Fish ing Creek, T. G. Currin aud E. W. Knott. Sales and Executive Committee to attend a meeting at South Boston, Va., on the 10th inet, W. II. Blalock and T. G. Currin were elected. It is gratifying to note the Interest our farmers are taking In the plan of organization, and it seems almost a certainty that the plan will suc ceed and tobacco growers are reques ted to attend their township meet ing and assist In the work. There can be no sinister motives in organ ization, as it concerns every one who grows tobacco. There is no money It for any one save a great deal more ! money to every man who makes the weed when the farmers are thorough- ly organized. I It is said that about 8,000 farmers ; In Virginia have joined the organiza tion, and to makeiteffectlve it is nec essary that the tobacco growers of : the bright belt of North Carolina should join. When 75 per cent of the ! farmers in Virginia and North Caro ! Una have become members of the or ' ganlzation then they will be In a p ! sltlon to "have a say" In the price of ! tobacco. j The meeting was a representative ; one and composed of many of Gran- vllle'sbestfarmers.and we are glad to j see them making an effort to bring ; about an effective organization for self protection, which is all right if they will stick together and carry it into politics. We are surprised that the farmers have not banded together long ago and cease to be the slaves of the giant tobacco trust. A Pleasant Pill.

We call the attention of our readers to the Financial Exhibit of the coun ty published in another part of this paper; it is the largest that has been made in sever; 1 years owing to the road force and the smallpox and diphtheria. There has been an epi demic of the two diseases In almost the same territory during the year which called for stringent measure to be adopted by Dr. S. D. Booth, the health office. The commissioners make a good showing and nave a balance In the treasury in spite of smallpox, diphtheria and washing away of bridges. Thanksgiving in Oxford. The day was more universally ob served in Oxford by our citizens than for many years, which we attribute largely to the closing of the business houses, warehouses and banks as there was practically a cessation of business and the day had the appear ance of Sunday. Possibly a hundred of our people witnessed the great game of foot ball in Richmond be tween the Carolina and Virginia boys, the score standing 12 to 11 In favor of Virginia, while many others went gunning for birds. Special Thanksgiving services were held in St. Stephen's church in the morning by Rev. Geo. Tolson and at night at the Presbyterian church by Rev. John E. Wool. Court Adjourned Friday. Granville Superior Court ended Fri day and as a result of the criminal docket 7 able bodied negroes were firilpd to Snnprlntendent. Roberts' ! force. Onlv fi cases were tried on the j , docket 5 of thera were for dl . , ... vorce 4 negroes and one white, ; which were granted. The other case j was S.E Davis v. M.E. Evane.sued on a note which the defendant claimed had been paid. Judge Graham ap peared for Davis and Gen. B. S. Roys ter for Mrs. Evans, and the case was warmly contested. Both of them made good speeches and after the charge of Judge Bryan the jury re mained out only a few minutes, re turning a verdict In favor of Mrs. Evans. Judge Graham gave notice of an appeal to Supreme court. A BEAUTIFUL HOME WEDDING. Marriage of Miss Alice R. Graham and Mr. Henry G.
