We are sorry to learn of the death of Mr. Pink Aiken, one of Southern Granville's oldest citizens, which occur red on Friday last at his home near Xorthside, after several days illness. He was 78 years of age and a consist ent member of Xew Hope Methodist church, and a good citizen and will be missed in his community. A large number of friends and neighbors assembled at the home Sun day afternoon to pay the last tribute of respect to his memory. The body wTas laid to rest in the family burying ground near his home. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. W. C. Robinson, pastor of New Hope Methodist church, assisted by Rev. M. L. Winston, pastor of the Christian church at Creedmoor. The pall bearers were as follows: Messrs. A. G. Fleming, N. H. Fleming, W. G. Waller, M. L. Winston, W. L. Roberts and Ralph Currin. He left an extensive family. He is survived by his wife and nine children, the children being as follows: Mr. E. R. Aiken, Durham; Mrs. O. T.Moore, Macon, Ga.;Mr. W. H. Aiken, Creed moor; Mr. R. J. Aiken, Oxford; Mrs. W. T. Meadows, Williamston; Mr. B. W. Aiken, Cincinnatti; Mrs. W. F. Lyon, Mr. J. F. Aiken and Miss Bes sie Aiken, all ofwhom live near North side. In addition to the eight children left by the deceased, he left 34 grand children and a large number of other relatives. A Wise Appointment. We believe the re-appointment of the present Board of Education, com posed of Drs. Hays, Meadows and Morris, three of Granville's most ex cellent and popular physicians, was a wise act on the part of Granville's rep resentatives. These gentlemen have filled their office most acceptably and we believe their re-appointment will give entire satisfaction to the people. They have certainly served the cause of education well and have upheld the hands of Prof. Kittrell, our most capa ble Superintendent. , T w e suoiua nave regaroeu n asuoui ing less than a misfortune to the coun ty if any change had been made in the Board which would have caused the retirement of Prof. Kittrell. We be- ieve no county in North Carolina has a better or more progressive Superin- ndent than he. Under his continued guidance, upheld by our splendid ioard, the cause ot education can but make Tapid advance in Granville coun ty Foot Cutting Time. We regret to learn that during the past two weeks m tne sunset section three young men have received serious cuts from the axe. Marcn otn noy Morris' axe glanced and seriously cut one of his legs. The next one was Fred Pruitt, who accidentally sent the blade of his axe into one of his feet making an ugly wound. Last Wednesday Morris Pruitt also had his axe to glance cutting his foot, but not as bad as the other .two. The wounds received prompt medical atten tion and the editor is glad to learn that all three of the young men are do ing very well as the wounds are heal ing up. Opera Company Coming. Of all the productions that have been offered at the Opera House we feel confident that none could have been more dainty, entertaining, and all together enjoyable than "Dorcas" which will be here tonight, Thursday, March 21. The company is compris ed entirely of well known performers, and Miss Morton herself has won friends everywhere by her winsome personality, especially for the produc tion. Altogether it is the most com pletely satifying performance that has been offered theatregoers this season. Stricken With Paralysis. The host of friends of the much be loved Mrs. Gilliam will be pained to learn that she was stricken with paral ysis a few days ago which involves one side entirely. Mrs.' Gilliam is at the home of Mr. R. W. Lassiter and is receiving every possible attention. She is 81 years of age, and one of the salt of the earth, as she is truly a Christian, always doing something to advance the cause of Christ on the earth. We truly hope this grand old lady win recover irom tne stroke and be Til f ,i spared many loved ones. years to the joy of her lien curea in 30 minutes by Woolford's G.

Kitchin's politi cal enemies last fall charged that he was in a combine he denounced it as false. No man who knows him would believe it even if he had not denied it, as his whole career in conduct,thought and speech has been against rings and combines. It is surprising that Dem ocrats have lately repeated the slander. We are sure that no gentleman who will run against Mr. Kitchin fbr the gubernatorial nomination will use this Republican slander, for no honorable man can encourage such tactics. From correspondence in Charlotte Observer, it appears that there is a "combine" being organized against Mr. Kitchin, and- it also appears that among those who oppose him there is a disposition to split the Democratic party to prevent his becoming Gov ernor. There is no doubt that the Re publican sentiment and the trust influ ences in the State will do everything possible to prevent the success of so thorough a Democrat as Mr. Kitchin, whose position on all public questions is known throughout the State, and whose firm adherence to the interests of the people has often been tried in various circumstances with the unfail ing result in every instance of showing him to be one who trusts the people and whom the people can trust. We know him well enough to know that he will not shrink from a 'hot cam paign, and if a split in the party comes he and his supporters will be found abiding in the Democratic camp, un der the Democratic standard, cheer ishing Democratic principles, opposing the oppressions of the people and defy ing their oppessors. If the split predicted by his enemies comes no man will forsake the Demo- nratin na.rfv sfli'P flirBA wfin train with special interests against the rights of J. the people, and who DreigS prdVal'Df the peoples plunderers 16 rendering faithful service to-the peo ple's interest. We "believe that the number of such men in the party is small indeed, and if they are deter mined to leave the party on account of such a man and Democrat as Mr.Wm. Kitchin what comment will the people make upon their departure? But we prefer to believe that there is no such determination jipon the part of any one who regards himself as a Demo crat, and that the proposition to "split the party" exists only in the hostile mind of an imaginative correspondent. Roxboro Courier. Town Election Near at Hand. As the time approaches for the elec tion of Mayor and Commissioners, or the re-nomination of the present Board the trend of opinion is that the present Board should be allowed to continue the work they have begun, and point to the progiess that has been made by them in better streets and sidewalks. We understand that Dr. J. P. Sted man, the progressive Chairman of the street committee, will not consent to run again. We do not know whether any of the present excellent Board will serve agam or not, but in case of a change we hope a good progressive Board will be nominated, which will continue to push the old town forward. There are only two candidates so far; as heard from for Mayor, the present incumbent, Capt. W. A. Devin, and Mr. Wm. H. Harrison, both of whom have a strong following. Stephen Minor DiedFPneumonia.

CREEDMOOR ADOPTS BY VOTE OF 14 TO 36 TUESDAY. Gov. Glenn Took a Hand in the Hot Fight Against It, But won Out By a Large Majority. The hot fight against the establish ment of a Dispensary at Creedmoor came to an end Tnesday when the peo ple of that prosperous town by a vote of 11, to 36 declared for establishment of a Dispensary, which we think is the best solution of the liquor problem as people are going ta drink as long as they are created with the some appe tites they now possess. The opposition to the Dispensary se cured the servies of Gov. Glenn, who arrived Monday morning at Ureedmoor and in the afternoon delivered an able speech on temperance. The speaking took place in the Star warehouse-and there was a very large audience, esti mated at 1,500, who listened attentive ly to the Governor in his argument against whiskey. In taking the pro hibition side of the great question Gov. Glenn gave statistics regarding the consumption of whiskey, the evils that resulted and suffering caused, making the point that if the enormous sum that is now spent for strong drink was turnted into other channels that- great good would result and humanity would be greatly benefitted. JTJie fight against the Dispensary was warm in many respects and we yielded much our space in discussing tlx sides of the question, and as we ilie;ve in majority rule the anti's should lield gracefully to their overwhelm ing defeat. We understand that the Dispensary will -open the first of April and the authorities should see that the blind tigers are run out of business. Jeter-Gill Marriage.
