Uncle Peter Roy ster.one of Oxford's most highly estimable colored citi zens, died Monday evening Every body liked Uncle Peter as he was a fine example of the "old time darky." He must have been over 80 years of acre and a more worthy colored man ever lived In Oxford. Fifty years ago he was porter at the Granville Hotel run by Dr. Sam A. Williams. Since that time he has been employed In many different capacities around Ox ford and has always been polite.cour teous and obliging, and while other negroes during the radical reign were making themselyes obnoxious Peter was always quiet and attentive to his own business. For many years he carried the mail from the post- office to the trains and always cheer fully mailed a letter for any one. It will be hard to find another like him. Peace to the old man's ashes. The Murderer Captured. Soon after the cold blooded murder by John Brooks our officers no tified all the officers of nearby places to look out for Brooks. After dodg ing around In Virginia for nearly a week he walked Into ( iarksvllle, Va., Thanksgiving day and was arrested by the Chief of Police, who at once notified Chief Wheeler that he had In custody a young man answering the dlscrlptlon of Brooks. Mr. Lonnle Smith, Oxford's fine day policeman, went over on the freight train and returned Friday morning with John Brooks and lodged him in jail to await Justice at the next term of Granville Superior Court. We are glad this cold blooded mur derer was captured for the reputation of the county as during the past few years murderers have escaped and nothing learned by the officers of their whereabouts.
