BRIEF DASHES OF THINGS
HAPPENING.
Stealing a kiss U simply a mlss

trious farmer to raise a mortgage.
It Is gratifying la the extreme to
have some people for your enemies.

There was quite an exciting time
Friday night in Mr. E. T. Allen's
store as one of the lamps exploded,
scattering oil on the floor. After a
quick but hard fight the flames were
extinguished with little damage.
It is said that soma of the wells
on Broad street are getting low In
water. Well, they are close by the
great Mineral Well of the Oxford
Water and Electric Co , and will not
be much trouble to get an ample supply-
Don't stop to grumble and com
plain, because everything Is not go
ing to suit you. This is a great big
world, and Is dependent on no one
man or set of men, and the sooner
some people find it out the better for
them and the community.

No man is perfect. We all make
errors, f oe next best tning to ayom-

have the manhood to acknowledge
It. Gaffney Ledger

will be largely attended and the four

As the water has been turned on
now Is the time to organize Fire Com
panies, and all who are interested
will meet at the Mayor's office this
Friday night at 8:30 for the purpose
of forming two Fire Companies.
Oxford Tobacco Market has no
opening sales as our warehousemen
and buyers are always ready to sell
the weed. Primings have been com
ing In the past week and sell from $3
to $10 per hundred, which is said to
be exceedingly high considering the
inferior quality.
There Is a saying that the "ab
sent one has little chance of being the
heir," and In newspaper advertising
is this quotation particularly appli
cable In this day, when publicity Is
demanded of the merchant who has
goods to sell or any one who is in a
business seeking public patronage.
Those who are competent to
judge say that the crop of tobacco In
Granville will fall short of last year
and is of an Inferior quality, which
we regret to learn: We had hoped
that our sterling ana hardworking
farmers would cure a fine crop and
locate in their Jeans high prices for
all grades.
Ade Walker and Eugene Lamar,
two citizens of Kernersvllle, met in a

Rilled. Walker was hit three time

Owing to the death of Mr.
Eugene Crews, Mr. R. S. Usry decided
not to run the Owen Warehouse and
let Mr. Sol Cooper, who has success
fully run the Minor Warehouse, took
it off his hands. The Minor will be
used as a storage house which wili
give Oxford four of the best conduct
ed Warehouses In the State. i
The water was turned on Toes
day and the water .work mains fully
tested, and the large 100,000 gallon
tank was filled up Wednesday. In
the language of Engineer Harry M1I1
ner, "Everything worked beautifully"
which was proof that he had done
his work well. The electric genera
tor Is being put In by Mr. Harrv
Jackson, and his assistants, Electri
cian for the Chesepeake Construction
Company, at the power house and
Chief Engineer Stacy will turn on
the lights Friday or Saturday night
The Farmers Warehouse.
Mr. J. F. Meaaows, the popular
proprietor of the Farmers Warehouse
has an announcement on the 4th
page which we invite our farmer
friends to read. The Farmers' Is one
of the best leaf warehouses In the
State and everybody in this belt
knows that J. F. Meadows can be
depended on the year round for ex
cellent service In behalf of the tobac
co growers. The -warehouse is large,
well lighted and well located, it of
fers every facility that a careful to
bacco growers appreciates, and there
is every reason to believe that it will
be accorded a handsome patronage
this year. Mr. Meadows will give
his personal attention to all the
sales, and with a careful and compe
tent force of assistants will serve his
patrons In a way that Insures mu
tual satisfaction as he is a regular
winner on high averages.

everywhere, and nine out of ten will give

The Bruno Furniture Bed Roll Co.
has been chartered by the Secretary
of State, with $20,000 capital. The
Incorporators are Prof. J. Horner
and Mr. and Mrs. B. M. Haubold.
The patent roll for furniture was got
ten out by Mr. Haubold, who has
been worklDg on it for several years.
It has been fully tested on furniture
and pronounced a great success. We
do not know whether they will be
manufactured in Oxford or not.
To Cotton Growers.
Col. J. S. Cunningham, President
of the State Cotton Growers Associa
tion, has called a meeting of the cot
ton growers for the 19th of August,
at their respective county seats. No
doubt this organization did much to
prevent the last crop of cotton from
being "dumped" on the aaarket.w I k.L
had a tendency to keep up the price,
and if the organization will continue
to stand together we have no doubt
that great good will be accomplished
for tillers of the soli.
Cheer the Living.
The following from an exchange 1p
worthy of consideration by the
thoughtful reader:
People kiss the dead when they
never stop to kiss the living; they
hover over the casket In hlsterlcal
sobs, but fall to throw their arms
around the loved ones who are fight
ing the stern battles of life. A word
of cheer to the struggling soul in life
Is worth more than all the roses In
Christendom piled high on the casket.
The dead cannot smell the flowers,
but the living can. Scatter them
broadcast in their pathway, pluck
out the thorne before it is too late.
Promotion of Two Worthy Young Men.
Mr. I. E. Harris, who has been a
popular and efficient book-keeper in
The First National Bank of Oxford
for 3 years has been elected Cashier
of The Citizen's Bank at Creedmoor,
and has accepted. We regret to lose
or young friend from Oxford, and
wish him much success In the
hustling town of Creedmoor. Mr.
Harris will be succeeded by the af
fable and manly Charley Taylor, who
has so faithfully served the people in
the post office. The Public Ledger
congratulates these young gentlemen
upon their promotions, which proves
that merit and strict attention to
business will always win.
Musical Services at Baptist Church.
There will be no sermon at the
Baptist church next Sunday, but
a service of song has been arranged
and will be rendered at 8:30 p. m. by
the choir under the direction of Mr.
Darius Eatman, assisted by members
of the other choirs In town. The ser
vice will Include Dudley Buck's "Sing
Alleluia Forth," Woodward's "The
Sun Shall be no more thy Light,"
Farrant's "Lord for thy tender
Mercy's Sake" (composed about the
middle of the sixteenth century.)

diers." The male quartette will sing
"That Beautiful Land" by special re
quest and one or t wo other selections.
Mr. Poteat will play Mascagnl's
"Intermezzo" for the offertory and
the "Hallelujah chorus" from Han
del's Messiah for the recessional.
The offering will be for the organ
fund and it Is hoped that a liberal
contribution will be made.
Stole Master John Stedman's Bycicle
Ernest Jones, a small colored boy.
who lives near town, stole Master
John Stedman's bycicle on Saturday
night and rode It home, and our lit
tle friend was greatly disturbed over
the loss of his wheel. Ernest had an
old wheel which needed new tires and
saddle, so he took the tires and sad
dle off of the Stedman wheel and put
them on It throwing the frame of the
wheel he had stolen into some bushes.
He had been to see Mr. Richard
Brown about buying some tires and
a saddle from him to eqquip his wheel
with, and when the frame of the
Stedman wheel happened to be found
he was charged with stealing the
wheel. When confronted by Chief
Wheeler he owned up, and said the
wheel was sitting out against the
fence in front of Dr. Stedman's resi
dence Saturday and he took It and
rode home. He then took the tires
and saddle off Intending later to put
them on his wheel.
Chief Wheeler brought him on to
town and locked him up.

A VICTIM OF PARALYSIS.
Mr. Eugene T. Crews Died Monday
Afternoon and Burled Next
Afternoon.
Mr. Eugene T. Crews, who was
atrlcken with paralysis while sitting
In his front porch Tuesday evening
a week ago passed away Monday at
3:30 p. m. surrounded by his family
and several friends. He continued
to grow worse from the time he was
attacked and died without a strug
gle.
He was In his 50th year and a mem
ber of the Methodist Church, and was
well known throughout Granville
and adjoining counties as he had
been Identified with the tobacco mar
ket for more than 20 years. We dare
say he ranked among the best auc
tioneers In North Carolina, and has
sold more tobacco than any man
within her borders. He was very
popular and his host of friends will
be pained to learn of his almost sud
den taking away.
, Gene Crews, as everybody called
him, was warm-hearted, compan
ionable, a true friend and never har
bored enmity agatnst any one; was
intelligent and possessed fine business
nbility. He did a great deal of work
for the county and was exceedingly
well posted on Its financial affairs.
At the time he was stricken he was
one of a committee to make a settle
tlementwtth the Sheriff of the county
and will be greatly missed around
the Court House.
He had been Town Clerk for many
years and proved a valuable man in
that position. He was a kind and
affectionate husband, father and gen
erous neighbor, and will be greatly
missed. He leaves behind to mourn
his death a devoted wife and 4 child
ren, Mrs. Garland Mitchell, of Ral
eigh, Mr. Eugene T. Crews, Jr., Miss
Annie Crews and an Infant son, and
a large number of relatives, for all of
whom the deepest sympathy Is ex
pressed In the hour of deep grief.
The funeral took place Tuesday af
ternoon at 5 o'clock from his late res
idence on Broad street, solemnly con
ducted by Rev. F. M. Shamberger and
largely attended by friends from town
and country. After the services were
over the pall-bearers, Messrs. John
Bullock, W. L. Mitchell, John P. Sted
man, B. S. Royster, E. K. Howard,
John B. Mayes, J. M. Balrd and J.
F. Edwards bore the casket to the
hearse and the long procession wen
ded its way to the city of the dead
where the remains were committed
"earth to earth, ashes to ashes" amid
the tears of loyed one.
The choir composed of excellent
singers sweetly rendered "Abide with
Me" and "Rock of Ages" durlug the
Interment. After covering the mound
with beautiful flowers all that was
mortal was left to sleep the sleep of
death until the resurrection morn.
Death of Little Josephine Webb.
Josephine, the little daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. A Webb died Friday
morning after a lingering Illness,
aged 11 years and 4 months. The
sweet little girl had been sick for
some time and her condition had
been practically hopeless. To her
death came as a sweet relief from suf
fering, but to the anxious parents,
sisters, brothers and relatives, to
whom her suffering had doubly en
deared her the loss brought the keen
er sorrow.
Josephine was a sweet and gentle
girl and had entwined herself about
the hearts of those who knew her,
and the bright eyes made sad by suf
fering, looked wistfully out on llfe-
at the birds and flowers which she
loved .
The funeral took place Saturday
afternoon at 5 o'clock at the home,
beautifully and pathetically conduct
by Rev. John E. Wool and was
largely attended by sympathizing
friends of the grief stricken family,
and the Interment was In Elmwood
Cemetery.
The pall bearers were Messrs. R. P.
Taylor, R. B. Hlnes, J. B. Roller,
Willie Howell, B. M. Haubold and A.
A. Hicks.
And as the setting sun cast Its
shadows o'er the flowered-covered
grave we could say:
"Another precious little life
That had to earth been glyen,
Has gone to be with Christ above.
Has gone to live In Heaven.
Dear Saviour, give us grace to say,
"Thy will, not mine be done,"
And comfort us, as unto Thee,
We give our darling one.
In loving arms the Shepherd holds
The lambs, with tender care;
And leads them by the waters still,
Thro' pastures green and fair.
We'll meet her In sweet Beulah Land
When life Is over here;
O Saviour comfort, while we mourn,
Our sorrow, help us bear."
A little forethought may save you no end
of tronble. Anyone who makes it a rule to
keep Chamberlains Colic, Cholera and
Dianhoea Remedy at hand knows this to
be a fact. For sale by all druggists.

Healthy Women.
Mary J. Kennedy, manager of Ar
mour fe Co.'s Exhibit at the Trans
Mississippi Exposition at Omaha, Neb.,
writes the following of Peruna, as a
cure for that
common phase
of summer ca
tarrh, known as
indigestion.
Miss Kennedy
says : g
" I found the
continual
change of diet
incidental to
eight years'
traveling com
pletely upset
my digest! ve
system. In con
sulting several
physician a
they decided I
suffered with
catarrh of the
stomach.
" Their pre.
scriptions did
not seem to
help me any,
so, reading of
the remarkable
cures effected
by the use of Peruna I decided to try it
and soon found myself well repaid.
"1 have now used Peruna for about
three months and feel completely re
juvenated. I believe I am permanently
cured, and do not hesitate to give un
stinted praise to your great remedy,
Peruna.
The causes of summer catarrh are
first, chronic catarrh; second, derange
ments of the stomach and liver ; third,
impure blood.
Such being the case anyone who
knows anything whatever about the
operations of Peruna can understand
Why this remedy is a permanent cure
for summer catarrh. It eradicates
chronic catarrh from the system, invig
orates the stomach and liver, cleanses
the blood of all imparities, and there
fore permanently cures by removing the
cause, a host of maladies peculiar to
hot weather. The cause being removed
the symptoms disappear of themselves.
