BRIEF DASHES OF THINGS HAPPENING. Granolithic steps are being put to the side entrances of Court House. Good bridges have been put over the ditch leading to Elmwood Ceme tery. Contractor Shroyer will com plete the granolithic side walks this week. Mr. W. H. Harrison has purchas ed the Booth lot next to Mr. Joe Webb, on College street. Oxford's Fine Roller Mill continues to Increase In business as It turns out high grade flour and meal. Quite a number of ouryoungpeo ple will attend the annual June ger man In Henderson this Thursday night. This Is the delightful season of the June brides. Also the season for June bugs and summer humbugs. Durham Son. - . ' . President F. P. Hobgood and Prof. J. C. Horner are now In the midst of the summer campaign for higher education Work on the Harris-Glenn Bug gy Body Factory and the residence of Mr. Banister Robinson is being rapidly pushed forward. A new porch is being built to that part of the Main building of the Oxford Orphan Asylum occupied by Superintendent XV. J, Hicks. Mr. and Mm. Flush, whohave been boarding with Mrs. Hughes, have commenced keeping bouse in the Hays cottage on College street. The large water tank Is nearlng completion, and It will be 150 feet from the ground to the top, and can be seen sept-ral in lies from town. Mrs. A. W. Graham and Mrs. Eva Taylor, who have been quite sick for some time, continues to improve to the joy of their families and friends. Mr. I. H. Harris has purchased the Barnbtll store and has added an addition to the front end. He well move his stock there as soon as com pleted. The Power House of Electric, Water and Ice Plant, Is going up rapidly and will soon be completed. The machinery is also being placed Into position. Col. W. J. Hicks and assistants have commenced to get ready for the celebration of St. John's Day, which bids fair to be the greatest ever held at this grand and noble Institution. Improved streets and Bidewalks have struck a popular chord in the hearts of this people. The present administration stands pledged to make these Improvements, as far as In Its power lies. Mr. T. C. Harris, book-keeper of First National Bank, is now a resi dent of Broad street as his family ar rived one day last week and occupy the new cottage Just completed by Mr. J. D. Bullock. In expressing the belief that the boll weevil Is more or less of a "hum bug," a Little Rock, Ark., cotton dealer asks, "If the South made 13, 500.000 bales with him, what would It have made without him?" The Oxford Manufacturing Co. have completed an up-to-date dry house, which completely takes all the water out of timber In 48 hours. It Is the first of the kind ever bult In Oxford and Is a great time saver. The graduating class at the Uni versity numbered sixty this year. The largest graduating class In the history of the Institution was ninety four In 1858. Among them was Mr. Robert Gilliam I,as8lter, of Oxford. A wedding of unusual Interest to North Carolinians and Vlrglulans will occur In Richmond June 27 tb, when General William R. Cox, of Penelo, Nash county, will be unl ted tn marriage to Mrs.Herbet Clalr borne. Richmond, Va. We picked this out of a bunch of similar observations In one or the columns of the Norfolk Virginian Pi lot: "Why a bunch of violets or a knot of bright ribbon where It adds the most to the wife's charms almost makes a man forget that he is hun gry." The new granolithic floor In the court house has been compieiea, which is the greatest Improvement yet made, and meets with the hearty approval of the people. Other Im provements will follow as they are nPCPssRrv to nreserve the temple of justice. We call attention to the state ment of the Bank of Creed moor In an other part of this paper. It will be seen that this bank continues to pros per, as It Is well officered, admirably conducted and has proved a great convenience to the people of that sec tlon of the county. x Mr. James Smith, of Hester sec tlon, died Tuesday night after a few days lllhess. He had been In poor health for several years, but his de mine was not expected and was a shock to. his friends. He was anex cellent man and citizen, and highly esteemed by all Who knew him. Are you ready? For what? To assist In aiding In all movements to build up Oxford, the most Important of which just now Is an up to date hotel. We heard a gentleman from Richmond say on Mouday that he never saw a town Improve as fast as Oxford has, and our greatest need now was a first class hotel. , Subscribe to Public Ledger. Stricken with Paralysis. The many old friends of Mr. Fos ter Rogers will be pained to learn that he was stricken with paralysis in Goldsboro Friday and his father Uol. CM. Rogers, and sister, Mr. Candace Emmett, left at once for his bedside. He Is still critically 111 and was taken to Rex Hospital at Ral eigh Tuesday with the hope of doing him good. Sunday School Conference. The regular Sunday School Con vention for the Raleigh District of the Christian Church will be held at Liberty, near Epsom, on July 12th, 13th and 14th. The convention will transact the usual routine busi ness and will also carry a program of entertainment for the public. A large attendance Is anticipated and preparations are being made accord ingly. New Company Chartered. The Harris-Glenn Body Co. has been incorporated by the Secretary of State, with a capital stock of $3, 000 with power to Increase to $25,000. The officers of the company are: I. H. Harris, President, W. B. Glenn, Vice President, and I. E. Harris, Secretary-Treasurer. The new building of the company will soon be com pleted and will manufacture buggy bodies on a large scale. Looking After Interest of Schools. Drs. B. K. Bays, of Oxford, J. A. Morris, of Wilton, and E. B. Mead ows, of Culbreth, who compose the new Board of Education for Granville county, held another Im portant meeting In Oxford Monday, and are getting ready to assume their most Important duties. We predict that it will prove a very progressive Board and the interests of the chll dren of the county have fallen into exceptionally good hands. Oh, No ! Don't Delleve In It. The doctors of a neighboring county who recently met and "reso luted" to charge $5 for all Insurance examinations, with certain other specified charges for other kinds of professional services, with a final re solve that the resolution be printed in the newspapers, are evidently be lievers In the value and property of advertising when It can be done free gratis In the form of resolution.

To-day, (Thursday) Is rather quiet In Oxford as the Sunday School children, accompanied by a large number of grown people, are enjoy ing a visit to Durham and Lakewood Park. It was as bright and happy a lot of children as ever went on an excursion and they will have a grand time. The committee composed of Messrs. Frank Lyon, W. T. Yancey and Tommle Howell secured a nice train from the Seaboard and pro vided every comfort for the excur sionists. Wife Had to Pay the Cost. Harper Overby, colored, who was arrested In Oxford and brought to Durham for trial, was given a hear ing before Justice of Peace Owens. He was charged with abandonment, his wife being the prosecutor. After bearing all of the evidence it was thought by the court that Overby was uot guilty and he was given his freedom. The wife was taxed with the cost of the case, which amounted to $10 75. She paid the bill and both husband and wife were allowed to go. Durham Herald. Bank of Granville Statement. We take pleasure in calling atten tion to the excellent statement of the Bank of Granville and the Oxford Savings Bank, When a bank has been founded and existed for mauy years the statements amount not alone to perfect and absolute confi dence but admiration.

The Board of County Commission ers met on Monday laBt with the fol lowing members present: ( F. Crews, Chairman. N. B. Daniel, S. H. Moss and W . S. Gooch, It was ordered that Lucy Amis be put on the outside pauper list at $1 per month. Several persons were allowed re bates on taxes. Ordered that J. M. Wall be grant ed a special allowance of $3 Permission was granted Jim Smith to enter the Home of Aged and In firm. Ordered that the usual $100 be al lowed the Granville Grays. Ordered that Renn Walker he nit on the outside pauper list at $1 per month. Ordered that Henry Johnson and J. E. Peace be permanently exempted from road duty on account of physi cal disabilities. t Superintendent Roberts submitted his report on account of working the roads, which footed up $329 36 for the month of May. The jury list of the county was re vised and proved a big job, as It took more than a day to accomplish this very Important work. The board levied the taxes for 1905 as follows on each $100 worth of property: State Pension 25 cents. Schools 18 cents. General county 22 cents. Public Roads 13 cents. Interest on Road Bond 1 cents. Total 80 cents. The straight tax Is 65 cents on the $100 worth ol property same as last year. Special for Oxford and Salem Town ships to pay refunding bond No. 1 of $1,000 subscribed by said township to Oxford & Clarksvllle Railroad, on each $100 worth of property 10 cents and on the poll 30 cents. Under schedules B. & C same as levld by the state unless prohibited by statute. After allowing a number of claims against the county aud putting in three hard days work the Board ad jorned. Of Vital Importance to Health. Now that Oxford has become a pro gressive up-to-date town, with elec tric lights and water works, paved streets and factories, it Is time the authorities were banishing from its limits those relics of the Dark Ages or the Philippines hog pens. No doubt the editor, who possesses a large share of the people's pride In their town, will be reluctant to dis close to an outside world the fact that we have hog pens, but I am Parkhurst enough to believe thatthe surest way to uprootevll is to throw the glare of light upon It. The ex istence of an evil Is worse than the disclosure. It is strange that any people should be so blind to their own welfai-e as well as that of their fellow beings as to keep a hog pen In town for the sake of the small gain therefrom. But If they are and they are they should not be allowed 10 do so. In the outlying portions or suburbs of Oxford the odor from these pens is often so offensive in sum mer that It Is exceedingly disagree able to sit on the porches. This can but be a constant menance to health and life. Typhoid fever and the bu bonic plague are such dread diseases that it behooves our citizens to do all In their power towards prevent ing them. And as no one knows bet ter than the doctors that an "ounce of prevention Is worth a pound of cure" there Is no time like the pres ent. SUBSCRIBER. Saint John's Day Celebration. The annual celebration of St. John's Day by the Masons of North Carolina on the grounds of the Ox ford Orphan Asylum will be held SATURDAY, JUNE 24th, 1905. Special, brief communication of the Grand Lodge of Masons at Oxfoi-d on that day. Hon. John S. Cunningham will be oiator of the occasion. The children of the Oxford Orphan Asylum, will during the day, sing some of their sweet songs. Many will take baskets and enjoy old-fashioned pic nlc dinner. Tables will be provided for them tn the big oak grove. Barbacue dinner and re freshments will be sold on grounds. Plenty of pure, cool water will be furnished at accessible place. A large crowd always attends these celebrations and the people alwaj s sem to spend the day most pleat -antly and profitably. The Seaboard Air Line Railway announce that It will run excursion trains from Weldon, Raleigh and Durham to Oxford for Saint John's Day. The great oak grove of this Institution Is an admirable place for the celebration. The Oxford Orphan Asylum has under Its care 275 of the homeless boys and girls of the State. A visit to the Institution will be of value to those who attend, and it cannot fall to deepen Interest In the Orphan cause. A Bad Scare.

Puckett Is pastor In charge, con vened at Shady Grove Methodist church on last Saturday, June 3id. A very large numiter of people at tended the conference. Dinner was served on the grounds, the good la dles of the community having pre pared nice things toeatln abundance and those who attended were de lighted with their gracious hospital ity. There was morning and an after noon session of the conference. The music for the occasion was excellent ly rendered by the singing class from Bethel church. Gen. B. S. Royster, of Oxford, was present and by Invitation addressed the conference on the Sunday School work. We have heard his effort much complimented. Gen. Royster Is a graceful and forceful speaker, and we are Informed that on this occasion his speech was worthy of the man and the occasion, Itelng conscise pointed and eloquent. He spoke on Sunday School work, showing Its relation to the church and its great Importance. The speech was receiv ed with delight and enthusiasm. In the afternoon the conference was addressed by Dr. Benj. K. Hays, of Oxford, In his usual happy manner. He Is a graceful and resourceful speaker and Is always sure to be heard with Interest and on this oc casion we learn that his address was the subject of much favorable com ment. Mr. Hart Overton and other gen tlemen also madelnterestlngspeecbes which added much to the Interest of the exercises. The conference, so we are Informed by pastor Puckett.was in every way a success and was mueb enjoyed by the people of the community as well as others who were favored with the privilege of attending. The First National of Oxford. We call your attention to the fine statement of this sound and solid Government Institution as called for on May 29th by the Government. This bank has continued to grow from the first day the door was thrown open for business, and Is under the eagle eye and far reaching hand of Uncle Sam. In fact a National Bank Ex aminer was here a few days ago and was very complimentary to the bank regarding themanner in which it was being conducted. Read the state ment and think what a great bless ing this bank has been and will be to our town and county. Absolute se curity, excptional facilities, careful, painstaking attention to details and progressive policy; upon this basis The First National Bank solicits the patronage of the people. No Room For The Knocker. The town knocker is an undeslreable citizen. One dyspeptic faultfindercan teardownln a day more than a steady devoted buisuess community can rear in a month. A knocker Is a menace to the peace and dignity of a people. He Is a thorn In the flesh. He's like the patch of courtplaster on a girl's nose, always conspicuous. And, be sides he's the wisest of all Solomons. He can advise as to the proper con duct of all the lines of business be ween a feather foundry and the Unit ed States Pension Office. Verily, he hath wisdom, and to spare, but the room occupied by the town knocker is more to be desired that his company. Ex. Captured Two Stills in Granville. Deputy United States Marshals D. O. Downlug and Iv. W. Merritt re turned to Raleigh Saturday from Granville county, where they made an effective and lively raid on two stills. They seized both, but did not succeed In making a capture of a moonshiner. The first still was of 60 gallon capacity, and was In opera tion. There wei'e 12 fermenters con taining 1,300 gallons of beer. The still was cut to pieces and the beer. after allaying the thirst of the raid ers, was poured out on the ground. The second still was not in operation and was smaller. At the still were wine fermenters empty, and the stil was destroyed, the fermenters being burned. The only opportunity they had of making a capture was when they ap proached the first still and found a man there. He became suspicious and put to his heels, the officers fast pursuing, but he made his escape, News and Observer. A Quiet Election. The election held here Tuesday the 6th on the question of extending the Graded School limits was the most quiet we have ever known. Messr. J. J. Medford, W. H. White and Walter P. Stradley were the poll holders. There were only 78 votes cast. Of these 12 were for extension and 66 against extension. Of course the town people were not particularly interested In the matter and those of them who might have been when they found that those who lived out side were taking no Interest In the election, and most of them voting against the extension, why of course there was little effort to aid their country neighbors. The editor has had nothing to say in the Public ledger on this question because for some weeks past the re sult had been a foregone conclusion. In fact It was deemed by him to be unwise and unreasonable to espouse a cause which even those who were to receive the benefits took no In terest In. (oiDi'og and (oing.

I suffered from a disordered stomach and a constant headache for two or three years. This was accom panied by a nervous irritation that kept me in misery by day and by night. I bad beard and read so much about Peruna that I decided to give it a trial. After I bad taken Peruna regularly tot a month the symptoms all disappeared. To me it was like waking up from a terrible nightmare. My stomach is now in its natural condition. I eat well and I sleep well. I take this op portunity to recommend Peruna as a tonic for a system out of order.'' THOMAS MIMMIGH. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad vice gratis.
