One of the nicest and best enter tainments the people of Oxford has enjoyed this year was that given by The Wake forest College Glee Club Saturday night at the Opera House. The audience was a large and appre ciative one. We hope that not a single route In Granville county will have to be cut down or discontinued because of not coming up to the required num ber of pieces of mall bandied, and none will be If the people along the routes Interest themselves In It. The United States Supreme Court has decided the Oxford & Coast Line Railroad Bond question In favor of the Union Hank of Richmond, and as the Seaboard Railway is now the owner of this road they will have to pay the amount due the bank on the bonds. The Commencement of Mary Pot ter School took place the first of the week and proved of much Interest to the colored people as each one of the exercises at the Opera House were largely attended. The programs were admirably carried out, each student acquitting themselves with much credit to the most excellent school. All the front fences on the East side of College from the corner of Rectory street to AsyiumBtreet have been taken down which adds ever so much to the looks of the different place?. Tuesday morning about 0 o'clock the editor found Dr. R. H. Marsh and Col. R. O. Gregory very busy indeed pulling down fences, and we take It enjoyed their breakfast. An official of a railway once got leave to get married and was given a pass over the road. On his way back he gave the ticket collector his marriage certificate Instead of the pass. The latter studied It carefully for a few minutes, and then said: "My man, you haye got a ticket for a long, wearisome journey, but not on this railroad." An entertainment with very at tractive program will be given In the Opera House, Friday evening. May 4tb, by the piano, violin and vocal classes of Miss 11 am rule, assisted by the best amateur talent of Oxford. We bespeak for the entertainment a large audience. Miss Hammle has a host of friends In this community who will encourage her efforts to make the entertainment a success. Large Attendance Well Entertained and Good Time. The Confederate Reunion last week was another : great event In the history of the South and was atten ded by about 40,000 people, made up of the aged veterans, their manly Hong, attractive and graceful daugh ters. They all had a good time and were well provided for. North Caro lina was represented by a delegation beaded by the gallant Gen. J. S. Carr and Major H. A. London. The city was elaborately decorated and the receptions and germans were grand affairs and greatly enjoyed. Oklahoma has the banner camp of the country, which Is 3.700 strong. It Is estimated there were only 12, 000 of the old veterans at the reunion, and about 8,000 joined In the parade. It was an Inspiring and yet melan choly appeal made by General S. D. Lee to the bright young faces that looked on him with steadfast eyes In that great convention hall. He must have had In mind the sure dwindling of the tattered gray ranks and asure prevision of greater losses before the meeting In Richmond next year when he said: "To you, Sons of Confeder ate Veterans, we will commit the vin dication of the cause for which we fought. To your strength will be given the defense of the confederate soldier's good name, the guardian ship of his history, the emulation of bis virtues, the perpetuation of those principles which we love and which you love also, and those Ideals which made him glorious and which you also cherish. To you. Daughters of the Confederacy, will be given the loving service of remembering the Confederate dead, of ministering to the living who were dear to htm, and are In need of your help and tender ness. Worthy daughters you shall be of the Immortal women, your mothers, who gave to womanhood a new perfection of heroism, and a more divine expression of sacrifice and devotion." The report of the committee on credentials gave the total number of camps represented as 775 and aggre grate of votes 2,315. The votes by States were as follows: Alabama 171; Arkansas 138; District of Columbia 7; Florida 80; Georgia 199; Illinois 2; Kentucky 126; Loulsana 170; Indian Territory 49; Maryland lit; Missis sippi 190; Missouri 78; North Carolina 115; Ohio 2; Oklahoma 24; South Car olina 136; Tennessee 18; Northwest Division 31; Virginia 113; Texas 447; West Virginia 20. Richmond gets the next reunion, and in our mind there Is no more appropriate city In the South for the old veterans to meet In. It Is well known that a large number of our old citizens who fougnt under the Stars and Hars favor the Virginia city, for it was there that a good many of their comrades passed over the river during the civil war. Little Niece of Dr. Dunaway Burned to Death at Spencer. Alice, the 6 year oll daughter of Rev. and Mrs J. M. Dunaway, who was fatally burned atSpencerTburs day night, died from the effects of her Injuries after Intense suffering for 30 hours. The Interment was made In the Spencer cemetery, the funeral be ing conducted at the home by Rev. H. W. Rattle, pastor of the Baptist Church at Greensboro. She was a niece of Dr. A. B.

She was about 50 years old, and had been elck for a long time with consumption. Mrs. Franklin was a member of Mt. Zlon Baptist Church, and lived such a life as to be ready when the Master should call hertocomeuphlgherand "rest under the shade of the trees." She leaves behind a grlef-strlcken husband and 8 children to mourn her death. The Interment took place Sunday after noon at her late home and largely attended by sympathizing neighbors and friends, the service being conduc ted by the good Mr. Sam Howard. The editor extends condolence to the sorrowing loved ones. GRANVILLE SUPERIOR COURT. Convened Monday Morning II O'clock Judge Furgerson Presiding. Granville Superior Court convened Monday morning at 11 o'clock with his Honor Judge Garland Furgerson presiding. Mr. Conrad Walters, Deputy Sheriff, had charge of the court with .all the other officers at their post. The following grand jury compos ed of Granville's best citizenship, was drawn: W. A. McFarland, Foreman, Walter Johnson, O. A. Manguin. It. C. Wat klns, Hamilton Hester, Wm. William son. O. W. Smith. J. C. Adcock, A. P. Overton, Alfred Frazler, J. T. Mor ton, E. M. Royster, Lewis W. Par ham, L. K Clement, R. L. Clark, A. C. Clark, J. T. Fuller. W. W. Brum mitt. Judge Furgerson'e charge was of a plain, practical character, covering most of the Important crimes that come under the criminal law, and consumed about an hour In de livery. This Is the second time this pleasant and able judge has pre sided over our courts, and our peo ple like him very much Indeed. Both courts ha found light dockets as our people are very law-abiding and If It were not for the colored "gemmen" our courts would almost go out of business. Solicitor Brooks not being well his partner, Mr W. S. Thomson, of Greensboro, was on hand and took care of the Interest of the State. The State docket was exceedingly small, and the cases that could be tried were disposed of Monday afternoon, not a single case going to the jury. The following cases were disposed of: State vs John Parham, larceny, guilty 4 months on public- roads. State vs Plunk Catlett, larceny, plead guilty, judgment suspended upon payment of cost. State vs Charley llarrls.ee w, plead guilty, judgment suspended upon payment of cost. State vs Dock Hunt, larceny, guil ty, judgment suspended upon pay ment of cost. Having disposed of the criminal docket and as the civil cases were not set for earlier than Wednesday the court took a recess until Wednes day morning. Wednesday morning the suit of Mrs. Jane E. Youngagalnsttbetown of Oxford was taken up and consum ed most of the day. The commis sioners had assessed the damages to her lot at f 250 to which the jury ad ded $;0 more making $300 damages. Facilities Greatly Increased. The large new engine and genera- tor of the Oxford Water & Electric Company has arrived and are being placed In position and Engineer Sta- cey carries with him a brlghtercoun tenanee. The large pump for tnenne new well has. also been placed In po sition thus doubling the supply of pure water. This Company now has a complete up-to-date plant, along with a first class lea factory. In speaking of the pure frozen water manufactured by this Company we believe It will prove to the Interest of this excellent company to call off the Iron-clad Ice combine they have entered Into. A Close, and Cool Combine. The people of Oxford are just now up against one of the most exacting combines they have so far come in contact : with, and It will be to their cooling Interest to join In and smash 4 he cold nerve out of It and allow the contractors to sell to who they please In any part of town. Mr. Weller, the General Su perintendent of the Oxford Water & Electric Company, while in Oxford some days ago divided the town Into two sections, Hlllsboro street being the dividing line. He give Rev. S. L. Slaughter, President of the Market Beef and Fish Trust, the exclusive privilege of selling Ice In Northwest Oxford, while polite John Kingsbury, President of the Chicken Trust, the sole privilege of supplying the cltl zens of Southeast Oxford with ice. Under this binding contract neither one is permitted to Bell ice in the others' territory. This Is the objec tionable feature of the combination. If for any reason, personal or other wise, either one of the Ice men should refuse to serve you or bring you Ice half the time we rise to ask how can you be supplied as they will not re- tall Ice at the factory nor furnish other than Slaughter and Kingsbury with Ice to retail? We are frank to say, that the compact should be at once broken and let the people buy Ice from whom they please, whether Kingsbury, Slaughter or anybody else. The question now arises will the people of Oxford submit to this coolly planned hide bound cpmblna tlon ? Death of an Infant. FROM CREEDMOOR. (on)ii)g and (Joing. YOU OR YOUR FRIEND MAY BE MENTIONED. Southern Wheel Company. The rest of the State may well keep an eye on progressive Oxford as she Is still rolling right along with new enterprises and our town Is a regu lar hummer on wheels. We again come to the front with the Southern Wheel Company for the manufacture of all kinds of Vehicle Wheels, which has just been Incorporated by the Secretary of State with an author ized capital of $100,000 with $40,000 paid In. The incorporators are C. J. Delone and C. s. Garman, or Han over, Pa., J. G. Hall, E. T. White, W. B. Ballou, and others of Oxford. It will be seen that our town has cap tured some Pennsylvania capitalists who were In our town a few days ago ana joined some or our most astute business men In establishing an enterprise that will prove a win ner from the start. The Public Ledger Is proud of the new enterprise and it makes the heart of the editor beat with joy to see our beautiful town go forward. Administrator's Notice.

Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine. one irom dyspepsia, another from heart. disease, another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain here and there, and in this way thy all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep arate and distinct diseases, for which he, assuming them to be such, prescribes his oills and potions. In reality, thev are all only symptoms caused by some uterine disease, xne pnysician, ignorant of the muse of suffering, encourages this prac tice until large bills are made. The suf fering patient gets no better, but probably worse, by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medicine like Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription, directed to tlie cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all those' distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort in stead of prolonged misery. Itihas been well said, that "a disease known is half cured." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a scientific medicine, carefully devised by an experienced and skillful physician, and adapted to woman's delicate system. It is maue'of native medicinal roots and is nerfectlv harmless in its effects in anv condition of the syHtem.
