There was consummated here last week the largest timber deal ever made In the county and probably In this part of the State. The pa rtles to this transaction were H. E. Wolf and N. M. Crepp, of Pittsburg, Pa., and various parties owning timber lands In the Northern part of the county. Among the tracts of timber pur chased by these gentlemen was one from Col. R O. Gregory containing 2071 acrts situated near Stovall on which there is an Immense quantity of valuable tlmberand wearelnform- ed that the price paid for this was veay satisfactory Indeed. These parties also bought the large lumber plant of Mr. Marshall Henry, together with his lumber railroad which runs west from Stovall for about four miles through a heavily timbered section of the county. They also took over Mr. Henry's timber holdings and options which luclude nine or ten large tracts. Mr. Crepp Is a very large dealer In manufactured lumber besides being Interested In several concerns that own large timber Interests and lum ber plants In Pennsylvania and Mary land. Mr. Wolfe will shortly move here with his family and superintend the cutting and manufacture of this lum ber which will begin at an early date. Our people are always glad to see outside capital come to aid In the de velopment and material up-bulldlng of our county, and we bespeak for these gentlemen a hearty and cordial welcome.

He dropped dead about 7 o'clock a. m. between the plow handles. Truly a good man has gone to his reward. He wa of a genial disposition, shedding sunshine wherever he went, a kind neighbor, a devoted husband, and an affection ate father. The most pathetic scene occurred just after the corpse was dressed. The colored woman, the cook who had cooked for the family over 25 years, came In and looked down in tears, remarking, "I have lost my best friend." ' BOAZ The news of the sudden death of Mr. Parham was received In Oxford Monday morning with great sorrow as everybody in town thought a great deal of him, as he was jovial, warm beartea and had a good word for everybody. The deepest sympa thy was expressed on all sides for the suddenly bereaved family. Mr. Parham was about 62 years of age and was known through this entire section of the country. A consistent christian gentleman he was aiways found where he could do work for those who needed help and his kind disposition carried sunshine wher ever he went. He left a wife, who Is now In bad health, and five children, two sons and three daughters. The sons, Hugh and Earnest Parham live In Greenville, and the three daughters are Mrs. I. M. Reams, Jr.. and Mrs. Vernon S. Preddy, of Dur ham, and Mrs. Will Dorsey, of Kins ton. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock at bis late home and was very largely attended by neighbors and friends, many from Durham, Oxford and Henderson join ing them In paying the last tribute to a noble man and good citizen. The funeral was conducted by Rev. R. II. Marsh, of Oxford, and the In terment was In the family grave yard. Dunn-Hart Marriage at Dabney. An event of Interest In the social life of Dabney was the marriage on Wednesday June 20th of Mr. William Wilson Dunn, of Henderson, and Miss Sudle Adella Hart of Dabney. The wedding was solemnized In the Methodist Protestant church of this place, at 11 o'clock a. m. The church was beautifully decorated for tii oc casion with palms, ferns -and flow ering plants. Miss Norma Brltt of Henderson, gracefully presided at the organ and prior to the ceremony Miss Mary Dunn, sister of the groom, sang the heart thrilling solo, "Sing me to Sleep." The ceremony was performed by the pastor. Rev. C. K. M. Raper. At 11 o'clock the heautl- j ful strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march sounded from the organ and the bridal party entered the churcb. A very pleasing feature of the mar riage was the presence of the ushers. They came as follows: Mr. Roger Burroughs and Mr. Allle Wilkinson, Mr. Henry Longmlre and Mr. Sam J. Satter white, they took their stand on each side of the altar. These were followed by the beautiful little flower girls, Irma Hart, sister of the bride5 and Jewel Glover cousin of the bride; one wore pink and the other blue silk and carried daises. The groom was accompanied by his best man, Mr. J. L. Perklnson, of )xford, a cousin of the groom. The groom and his party wore frock coats Miss Stella Hart, sister of the bride and maid of honor was very hand somely gowned in white silk, hat and gloves to match, and carried pink carnations. The bride was very handsome In her going away gown of blue silk, hat and gloves to match and carrrled a shower bouquet of bride's roses. The entire scene was one of unusual grace and beauty. While the solemn words were being uttered by the officiating minister, the charming notes of a flower song ere heard from the organ and a a breathless hush Tell over the larce assemblage that thronged the churcb At the close of the ceremony the bridal party proceeded from the church to the Inspiring strains of the wedding march. The marriage was one of the most elegant and elaborate that has recently been celebrated In Vance county, and was rendered more notable by the prominence and popularity of the contracting par ties.. The bride received alargenum ber of wedding gifts, among which were handsome and elegant pieces of silver and cut glass. The bride Is the beautiful and accomplished daughter of Mr. Ira T. Hart, of Dabney, and is a lady of unusual intelligence and has a number of friends all over the state.

The Very Best Men Should be Nomi nated for County Commissioners. Of all the county officials the coun ty commissioners are beyond doubt, the'most Important. Their acts more closely and thoroughly effect the In terests of all our citizens than the acts of any other officials. The Indus trial welfare and the general develop ment of a county depends In a large measure, upon the judgement and discretion of Its county commission ers. . Under the new law the next elec tion of county commissioners lu Granville will be by a direct vote of the people. A number of candidates have been suggested and just at this tlmts- we want to say a word as to the Importance of selecting the right mentor this office. - We Relieve that as fjj,r as possible, the iftfferent sections of the county by all means should be represented, and thTfiere nt Interests of the county considered, but the chief thing to be considered Is the fitness and compe tency of the men. There are several qualities very requisite for a good commissioner, first of these being, of course Integrity and honesty, but we are sure no man would be chosen by our people who does not possess these qualities. But there are other qualities necessary. A man may be honest, and wish to advance the In teresta of the county, and be a man of general Intelligence and yet be unfit for this office. A commissioner should be a man of sound business sense, a good financier, a man of affairs and economical with the peoples money. But-he should be more than all this. He should be broad minded and de termined to build up the public In dustries of the county. He should uot be afraid to spend money for public improvements even ngalnst the protest of the miserly and par. s!mialous. Above all he should be a mau who Is devoted to good roads Improvement, one who realizes that this is the greatest question In our county at present, and also realizes that old Granville unless she wakes up must continue In the hack ground of counties, which only a few years agovwere behind her In good roads ami other Improvements. Let our people ponder well these truths and see that the proper men archosen as county commissioners! Among others we note the mention of thtv names of the following gentle men ipr commissioners: L-rs. W. P. Wllkerson and It. A. I.oLTr Oak 11111 Township: W. 11; Gr.f ory and G. H. Faucette, of Sas safiiB Fork; S. V7. Morton and L. T. Wlljford, of Walnut Grove; Z. E. Lyofn, J. E. Suit, M. L. Coley. J. C. Fleming and A. G. Flemlng.of Dutch vlllejo. L. Allen, of Brasstield; T. L. Caunady and J. R. Renn, of wishing Creek; J. . Hunt and J. H. Bullock, of Oxford; not counting the members of She present Board. HIS SIXTH TERM. W W. Kitchin Nominated In the Fifth Hols Named With a Unanimous Shout The Democratic convention at the Fifth Congressional District at Greens boVo. July 3. nominated W. W. Kit chin by acclamation to serve his 6th tetm in Congress. n accepting the nomination, Mr. tchln made a strong speech ar- ralDtrlne: the Republican party lor sdwlng the seed of the principles of special privilege to e,..uU which had yielded the crop of civic nnd comorate crime exposed In the recent Investigations In Insurance, railroad and other centers. The audience went wild when he declared that two years hence the musses of the millions would rise airalnst these favored and money o-iutted, corrupted classes and re trleve the lost ground by electing to the oresldency "the foremost citizen In all the world." News & Observer says: The Demo rrats of the Fifth District honored themselves yesterday in unanlmoue ly renominating Hon. W. W. Kitchin for Congress for the sixth consecutive time. Mr. Kitchin. while one of the youngest men In CoDgress, is the old est In point of service of any North Carolina member either In the House or Senate, and no man of his years in either House Is an abler or more capable servant of the people. He was first elected In 189(5. when the whole State was lu the hands of the Fuslonlsts, and he owes his first vic tory to a magnificent campaign In which he championed the cause of the whole people and handled with out gloves the trusts that feed on the people, not forgetting to show how the tobacco trust, with head- quarters In his district, was robbing Y-v ..II 4-m nnn van Vtr the people, uunngu.iii.ut5 jram "c has been In Congress, without falter- lng or wavering a hair's breadth, he has stood for fundamental uemocra- tic orinclples just as his distinguish ed klusman, Nathaniel Macon, did against monopolies, and special pri vilege and the like.

The function strengthening and tissue building plan of treating chronic, linger ing and obstinate cases of disease as pur sued by Dr. Pierce, is following after Nature's plan of restoring health. He uses natural remedies, that is extracts from native medicinal roots, prepared by processes wrought out by the expenditure of much time and money, without the use of alcohol, and by skillful- combination in just the right proportions. Used as Ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, Black Cherry bark, Queen's root, Golden Seal root, Bloodroot and Stone root, specially exert their influence in cases of lung, bronchial and throat troubles, and this "Discov ery" is, therefore, a sovereign remedy for bronchitis, laryngitis, chronic coughs, catarrh and kindred ailments. The above native roots also have the strongest possible endorsement from the leading medical writers, of all the several schools of practice, for the cure not only of the diseases named above but also for indigestion, torpor of liver, or bilious ness, obstinate constipation, kidney and bladder troubles and catarrh, no matter where located. You don't have to take Dr. Pierce's say-so alone as to this; what he claims for his " Discovery " is backed up by the writings of the most eminent men in the medical profession. A request by postal card or letter, addressed to Dr. K. V. Pierce, Buffalo. N. Y.. for a little book of extracts from eminent medical au thorities endorsing the ingredients of his medicines, will bring a little book free that is worthy of your attention if needing a good, safe, reliable remedy of known composition for the cure of almost aay old chronic, or lingering malady. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure con stipation. One little " Pellet " is a gentle laxative, and two a mild cathartic. The most valuable book for both men ana women is Dr. Fierce's Common Sense Medical Ad viser. A splendid 1008-page volume, with engravings and colored plates. A copy, paper-covered, will be sent to anyone sending 21 cents in one-cent stamps, to pay the cost of mailing only, to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. Cloth-bound, 31 stamps. NEWS AND VIEWS Some one has figured it out that to day more than 40,000.000 Americans live on almost G.OoO.fiuu farms. One breadwinner in every three is a farmer. One of the best indications of the tre mendous influx of new settlers to North Dakota is seen in the movement of farmers from the states of the mid dle west. Illiuois, Indiana, Iowa, Wis consin aud Nebraska particularly are sending a throng of sturdy and experi enced farmers to the northwest. Ohio is said to deserve the name "hayseed state" of the Union because she cuts aud cures more hay of all kinds than any state in this country. Nearly all the destruction caused by Insects comes from not taking time by the forelock. People wait until a horde of destructive Insects suddenly ap pears, and then comes the query, 'What are they, and how can I de stroy them?" I would be glad to see our middle Georgia farmers wake up to the ad vantages of this surest yield, biggest yield and finest feed legume crop. Yes, peauuts are a legume, and greatly Improve the land; at the same time you are getting a sure crop and large yield of fine feed. And under our "Aldrlch Principle" system of planting a row of corn and a row of peauuts, we actually do in common practice, which we can show, get practically a full crop of corn and from fifteen to forty bushels of pe-.muts per acre extra nn medium land with ordinary fertilis ing; and, best of all, leave half the farm every year eovered with a legume and its rich humus.- Cor.
