It is well to be concerned about tate and National affairs, brother Demo crats, and esnecially our fine Congress- J man, Hon. W. Y. Kitchin, when it comes to casting of 3"our vote tor a candidate in an election, but there is nothing more important to the individ ual, in (iranviile county than securing an all round good Board of County Commissioners. It is true, in spite of what the Republicans savin the Indus trial News, that the county never had a better government, more economical ly administered and has S7,000 in the Treasury, but the people surely want to continue to have a good Clerk, Sheriff, Kegister of Deeds, Treasurer and Coroner. Jiut most important of all you want County Commissioners that give you a good road Superintend ent, a Superintendent of the County Home that will devote his time to look ing after the unfortunate ones placed in his charge instead of absenting him self and leaving it to others, and as neccessity requires lend their influence to secure more good roads and the im provement of our schools, and men that will continue to administer the affairs of the county in such a manner that all will receive a benefit. Enf orce The Vagrant Act Mr. Mayor. If vagrants and loafers can be con vinced that they will have to build good roads and improve streets for peo ple who are busy making a living, the drones and non-producers but consum ers will be pretty apt to go to work for themselves. Enforce the vagrant act. Remain Unsaid. Speak no ill of any one. If you know nothing good to say, far better would it be to let tilings remain unsaid. The following couplet is an excellent rule that many of us could follow with profit: "The faults of our brothers we write upon the sand; their virtues upon the tablets of love and memory." No Use for the Club. The man and woman who try to make their home the most interesting spot on earth for each other, and for their friends and those who are near and dear to them, have but occasional use for the club. It is to them, like the theatre, a f-.c&s&rit plae& ' -to-efiter now and then but not a spot to dwell in. We Urge Every Man to Vote. If you have neglected to vote in the years past go to the polls this time and cast your ballot. Take a part in the government of your count v and don't trust anybody else to do your voting. Think how bad it would soon be if no body voted. You vote is as impor tant as anybody else's vote. Be sure to vote when election day comes. Vote, vote. Just a Little Advice. We will offer a little free advice to the young men and ladies who read this paper. Never marry until you are certain that single life is a failure and under no circumstances marry un til you find some one who will have you. Be sure you are right, then go ahead. Boys, remember that a girl rigged out in ribbons and paint may look good enough to eat; but that smile however, may be made to order and come off with her best clothes. Blights Some Happy Home. The old saying that an "idle brain is the devil's work shop and idle hands his tools." Oh, how true this saying is. It is to this shop that the tattler goes for material wherewith to blight some happy home or attempt to ruin the character and reputation of their fellow men, by falsifying his good name, and forever destroying his bright pros pects for the future. You cannot real ize how low down and contemptible a village tattler is, until you have seen some of the results of their tattler's tales. Why a Democrat Ought to be Proud. A party that closes still houses and builds school houses instead is a party to be proud of. A party that keeps the money of poor fathers to buy bread for his hungry children instead of spending it for whiskey is a party to be proud of. A party that appropriates money to care for the brave Confeder ate Soldier to make his last days com fortable is a party to be proud of. A party that approprities money to care the unfortunate insane is doing a work that is grand and glorious and is a par ty to be proud of. A party that ap propriates money to give the poorest child in the State a chance to be a man or a woman in the world is a party to be proud of. Catawba County News. FINE YOUNG LADY KILLED. Distressing Accident Near Mountain Creek Saturday. The neighborhood of Mountain Creek was greatly shocked Saturday morning on account of a most deplora- j past ten o'clock of one of the most beau ble accident which occurred at the j tiful weddings solemnized in Oxford home of Mr. Matt Currin which caused j where relatives and friends gathered the instant death of his fine looking ; to hear the solemn vows spoken and and much beloved daughter, Miss Ha zel, aged IS) years. Her small broth er, about K years old, saw a squirrel up a tree close by the house and run into one of the rooms to get the gun to kill the squirrel. At the time Miss Hazel was cleaning up the room and as the boy run out of the room the hammer of the gun struck the doorfac ing and fired the whole load entering the side of his sister, killing her instant ly, which has cast a deep gloom over the whole community, as the young la dy was very popular. ' The deepest sympathies of the people of the county go out to the suddenly grief stricken family. noon and was largely attended by sor rowing relatives, neighbors and friends. Invitation to Subscribe. If you should get a sample copy of the Public Ledger this week it is a cor dial invitation to subscribe as we in tend to issue a first-class county paper in the future with the aid of good peo ple of Oxford and Granville. We want your support and will greatly appreciate it. Preached Democracy. During the past ten days Senator A. A. Hicks, Judge Graham and Gen. B. S. Royster have ably and forcibly dis cussed the important issues of the cam paign at a number of places in good old county of Person, and we count on a good majority for Democracy in that county next Tuesday. The Bank of Granville. "We call attention to the change in the advertisement of the Bank of Gran ville, and would say it is a good thing for a young man to acquire the habit of saving money. Success is more a matter of thrift and economy than most people imagine. You can open an ac count with this bank and get four per cent, interest on your money. Polititical Situation all Right. Governor Glenn, who has returned from the western part of the State, says that the political situation wherever he has been campaigning are such as to be highly gratifying to Democrats. He expresses strong conviction that both the Sth and 10th Districts where the hardest fights are on will roll up ma jorities for Hackett and Crawford, the Democratic nominee for Congress. To Brother Caldwell. Mr. Joe P. Caldwell, the very able editor of the Charlotte Observer, has our warmest sympathy in the loss of his dear mother, who passed beyond the smiling and the weeping last Fri day at her home in Statesville, and her gentle and loving spirit is forever at rest in the "Sweet Fields of Eden where the Tree of Life is Blooming." She was 86 years of age, and was a re markable woman in many respected, noted for her piety as she was a con cecrated member of the Presbyterian Church, and beloved by a large circle of friends. An Exciting Time. One day last week our young friend Ernest Dean was out near Providence hunting squirrels. He saw7 one come out of a hollow and up with his rifle and killed him, and about that time he heard the leaves rattling and look ed up and close by him was a drove of wild turkeys. As he only had a rifle he did not get a shot at them. He loaded his rifle and killed another squirrel, and by the time he reloaded his rifle he happened to look up and saw a big buck deer moving slowly throng the woods close by him, and pulled away missing his deership Mr. Dean said it wasithe most exciting time he ever had hunting. Just Howl About It. If you don't just like everything you see in your home paper, go around the streets and howl. The editor is never supposed to make a mistake and of course cannot do so. Other people can, but the editor is ubiquitous, omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, "omniver ous." If you can't see a good point, don't fail to see a bad one. If a thou sand pleasant things are said of people, hunt for something unpleasant. If you don't find it, howl some; if you do; howl anyway. Xever mind your own business; watch for something to find fault w ithin some other man's business, this will make you great. Ex. BEAUTIFUL CHURCH WEDDING. Miss Charlotte V. Britt and Mr. G. W. Hobbs Plight their Troth. St. Stephen's Episcopal Chureh was the scene Thursday morning at half- witness 'the giving in marriage of Char lotte, only"; daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John TV 13ritt, to Mr. George "Wash ington Hobbs, of Kutherford, N. J, The bride is one of Oxford's social favorites, t'harming in maimers and beautiful and attractive in face and fig ure, a fine .musician having filled the position of organist in the Episcopal Church and a leading member of the choir. She was also member of the Literary Club in which she took prom inent part, and her presence will be missed in no small degree in the social lfie of her native town. The groom is a prominent and very successful coal merchant of Xew York City. The church was beautifully decorat ed with palms and cut flowers. The vested choir sang as a processional hymn ' The voice that breathed o'er Eden." Then as Mrs. Ii. W. Lassi ter in most beautiful style played a wedding march the ushers, Messrs. Frank Pinnix and S. W. Minor, of Durham, passed down the center aisle, crossed and took stand in the chancel, followed by Mr. and Mrs. Wade Britt, who also stood in the chancel. Mrs. Britt, Dame of honor, wore gray Aeo lian and point lace over taffeta and black velvet picture hat and carried red carnations. Then entered the maid of honor, a cousin of the bride, Miss Ethel- Dorsey, of Henderson, who wore, old rose Aeolian with hand some Irish lace over taffeta, carrying white arnations and wearing black velvet picture hat. Kev. F. W. Hil liard stood in the chancel. The bride entered with her father and was met at the steps of the chancel by the groom who entered from the vestry room with the best man, his brother, Mr. H. T. Hobbs, of Baltimore. Bishop J. M. Horner, of Ashe ville, officiated, with the betrothal ceremony said at the foot of the chancel and the marriage vows at the charted rail. To the enchant ing notes of Lohengrin's wedding marcl the bridal party left the church. The ; -ride's costume was very hand ?orss 'i&y6ax, .braaxl.jclathij3:at - sipt and remarkably stylish and becoming hat to match, carrying bride's roses. The newly wedded couple left by Sea board for a tovir of Northern cities. The bridal presents were remarkably handsome. Conspicuous among the gifts was a sterling silver tea service the gift of the bride's father and moth er. The gift of the groom was an ele gant necklace of amethysts and coral. A chest of silver from the relatives of the groom, a grand piano from friends of the groom, many gifts of beautiful silver cut glass and valua ble ornaments. The bride never looked handsomer or more lovely than when the vows in the sweet, solemn ring ceremony were spoken and when the benediction was pronounced and she turned her bright face to the loved ones who realized that 'She was sent forth To bring that light which never win- try blast, Blows out, nor rain, nor snow extin guishes, The" light that shines with" loving eyes upon Eyes that look back till they can see no more. A FRIEND. Oyster Supper a Success. The Firemen's Oyster Supper in Ar mory Hall Friday night was a great success and was largely attended. Mrs. S. W. Cooper, Mrs. W. E. Massen burg, Mrs. AY. H. White, Mrs. Frank Spencer, and Mrs. -Wade H. Britt,aid ed by a number of Oxford's fascinat ing young ladies, contributed largely to its success, to all of whom the Fire Boys returns their many thanks. The guessing at the number of seed in a pumpkin was interesting, and was in charge of the pretty Miss Willie Grims ley, which netted S Mr. J. H. Wal ler guessing the nearer number of said pumpkin 602, was awarded the prize, a cut Glass Water Bottle. We are re quested by the committee, Messrs. Frank Spencer, Wade H. Britt and S. M. Wheeler to return thanks to those who loaned articles and donated material for the Supper as well as to all who contributed to the success of the Supper. Mr. C. D. Britt, of Franklinton, at tended the marriage of his niece, Miss Charlotte Britt, in Oxford Thursday. In every dime its colors are unfurled, Its fame has spread from sea to sea; Be not surprised If in the other world, You hear of Rocky Mountain Tea. J. G. Hall. CHICKEN AND FROG YARN. Which Beat the Democrat or The Republican? Mr. Ben Faulkner, a Democrat, who lives near the Cotton Mills, met his i Republican friend, Mr. Dolph Oakley, a few days ago and after discussing politics for awhile branched off and discussed chickens. Mr. Faulkner said he had an old hen that filled up her craw with dried peas and drank a lot of water which caused it to swell up so tight that it bursted and blew off her head and wings. This is going to be the way with the Republican party on first J uesday in November says 31 r. Faulkner. Mr. Oakley says well how does this strike you? "One day I spied a frog in my yard, and I commenced to roll buck shot to him which he swallowed, until he had swallowed 18, and was so heavily loaded he could not move. I stepped Jiito the house and got some powder and rolled it up into a small paper and gave that to the frog and he likewise swallowed that. My next move was to get a small coal of fire and give that to him and as soon as it got into his stomach there w7as an explosion, and the frog was blown to atoms. That is the way wTe Republicans are going to blow you Democrats to pieces with votes on the first Tuesday in Novem ber." The editor will add that the Repub lican party took an over load of negro ism and misrule "in theirs" a few years ago and the Democrats stuck a white fuse to the black combination and for ever blew it out of rule in this good old county and State. Friend of the Plain People. Hon. Wm. W. Kitchin, Democrat ic candidate for Congress in this dist trict, is the friend of the plain, com mon people, who are the backbone, sinewr and mainstay of the country. His honesty greatly endears him to all who know him.' Durham Sun. Tip to Lonnie Smith. Two enterprising policemen in Char lotte broke the record for making more days than were ever counted to a week in any man's life. They were witnes ses in 50 cases in Superior Court, and they charged a full day each case. The judge only held court three days that ll- " 1 -1. . 1 1?

The Duplin Journal gives the prop er advice when it says: "Republicans should take the advice of the Tar A. eel the weekly Republican paper, publish ed at Greensboro, the headquarters of Radicalism in North Carolina, and against "bossism, Butlerism, graft and ring tricksters, ringsters and wire-pullers, Butler-Pettigrew bond collection scheme." When the Weekly Tar Heel gives such advice it's time to stop and consider wThere we are at." Strong and Eloquent. Hon. A. A, Hicks, the Democratic candidate for the Senate from Granville and Persson counties, is in the county this week with our county candidates. He is a strong eloquent speaker and we are sure his speeches here will do the party good. He does not dodge the issues but answers the Republicans straight from the shoulder. Mr. Hicks wTill be elected by a big majority, and Person county ought to give him a good vote. -Roxboro Courier. Returned From a Sad Visit. Mrs. Willie Howell and son return ed Tuesday from visiting relatives in Alabama, and what was intended to be a joyous visit was turned into one of sadness and gloom. Soon after Mrs. Howell reached her old home her moth er was taken sick and grew worse un til her spirit went home to God who gave it after a well spent life on earth. The editor joins her Oxford friends in extending deep sympathy to her in the irreparable loss sbe has sustained. Only When He Quits Business. Will a merchant who is wise ever cease to advertise? Yes when the trees grow upside down, when the beg gar wears a crown; when ice forms on the sun; when the sparrow weighs a ton; when gold dollars get too cheap; when woman, secrets keep; when a fish forgets to swim; when Satan sings a hymn; when girls go back on gum; when the small boy hates a drum; yhen no politician schemes; when mince pie make pleasant dreams; when its fun to break a tooth; when all lawyers tell the truth; when cold water makes you drunk; when you love to smell a skunk; when the drummer has no brass -when these things all come to pass; then man that's wise will neglect to ad vertise.
