NO. 53- z Winston Flanagan, The following invitation has been issued: Mr. and Mrs. Albert Flanagan request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter Laura May to Mr. James Horner Winston & on the evening of Thursday, the twenty-sixth of November at seven o'clock at Eighteen Hundred and Forty-one Sheridan Road m the city of Chicago. At home after December the first, Norfolk, Virginia. Mr. Winston is the son of Judge R. W. Winston, of Durham, and is close ly related to the Homers and Wins- tons of Oxford. The marriage will be ! or the chancel. I hen the bride, lean an affair of great prominence in social MnS cn the arm of her sister, Miss Fleda circles. The acquaintance of Mr. Winston and Miss Flanagan began in rather a romantic way. They met on an pastern hound ocean liner several years ago when Mr. Winston was on his way to Oxford, England.and Miss Flanagan en route to Paris for special course of study in -music. Miss FJan agan, whose home is in Chicago, is a very talented musician. The Durham Herald says: "It were like carrying coal to New castle to speak of either the bride or bridegroom in Durham. Miss Flana gan is known to a large circle of Dur ham people and by her very superior accomplishments and the choice of Durham's most promising young man, leaped into the hearts of them all. She would be a striking figure in any com pany and her romantic marriage to Mr. Horner Winston is epochal in Durham's social history. She will wTed a young man matching some fine, mauly virtue to her every charm. Love is the w-ord, everybody loves him) born a gentleman of the perfect mould, the son of intellect and gentility coming from two distinguish ed state families, and a scholar of the first rank. All that the one is the other is. It is the very poetry of happy mating." Who Morehead Is. Our new Congressman is but little known in this part of his district. John Motley Morehead is the grand son of the first Whig governor of North Carolina, and the son of Col. John L. Morehead, of Charlotte. He is a graduate of the class of 1886 in the University. He is a resident of Leaksville to which place he moved about ten years ago.

Bullock's church, Granville county, was the scene or a quiet but pretty marriaee on November the fourth when Miss Mamie Lyon became the bride of Mr. Caiaphas Allen. The hour for the ceremony had not yet arrived before many friends had assembled to witness the joining of the lives of these two young people. Around the chancel palms, potted plants, and cut flowers had been taste fully arranged, producing a beautiful effect. To the strains of Mendelsshon's wed ding march the bridal party entered as follows: The ushers, Messrs. Henry Bullock and Pearson Harris, VassaT Winston and Roy Moss, passed down the aisles and took their places in Iront Lyon, came down the right aisle, as the gropm with Mr. Graham Mangum came down the left aisle. I hey met in front of the chancel and there the words which bound their lives together were spoken by Rev. Mr. Robinson, pastor of bride and groom. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Allen took the train, amid showers of rice, for Washington an J other places of interest. 1 Correspondent. Cupid at Work. Last Sunday evening Mr, D. P. Peake, a young farmer of Berea, and Miss Lodemia Slaughter, daughter of Mr. S. M. Slaughter, having decided to travel the future road of life togeth er, drove over to the home of J. G. Shotwell who very quickl made them man and wife. Alter congratulations J the young couple went on their way rejoicing. The Next Congress. The democratic party has gained seven seats in the next House of Rep resentatives. The returns have been completed and the democrats will num ber 175 and the republicans 218- In the Senate there will be 32 democrats and 60 republicans. The latter party still is strong enough to maintain the same control of last session, but the gains made by the democrats are wor rying: them nevertheless. ,The fifth, eighth and tenth districts in North Carolina dropped out of the democratic column. In tile fifth, Morehead defeated Brooks by over three hundred;Cowles won over Hack ett in the eighth by sixteen hundred; and Crawford lost the tenth to Grant by a few hundred. So North Caroli na is represented by seven democrats and three republicans. Judge Graham for Speaker. , Says the Durham Sun: "Hon. A. W. Graham, representa tive elect from Granville county to the General Assembly, will be a candidate for Speaker of the House. Gus Gra-1 ham we all call him that, for he is a near neighbor and a man highly es teemed over here in Durham is well equipped for this position and we would be glad to see him get it. He is a splendid parlian e itarian.thoroughly acquainted with constitutional law.and with his long experience in legislative bodies, will make a model presiding officer. The Sun presents his name to the members of the next North Caro lina Legislature. They could notv do better than elect him." The Sun is eminently correct. No better presiding officer could be select ed than our townsman, and the Ledger heartily joins the Sun in asking that the legislature so honor Judge Gra ham. His qualifications as described by the Sun are too well known to need discussion, but it is very gratifying to see them expressed. Death of Child. The five year old son of George Stem died at the home of- his father, Gray street, j'esterday morning at 11 o'clock. The remain were this morn ing taken to the old home near Stem, Granville county, where the interment takes place this afternoon. The little fellow had been afflicted for sometime and his death was not unexpected, as he suffered from a complicated trouble. Several friends accompanied the re mains on the sad trip to Granville.

This3 morning as a Record man was racing along the street in pursuit of news he spied ex -Judge S. B. Adams coming along south Elm. AttheMc Adoo office building he turned in the area way, which is about four feet wide. As he entered ex-Judge W. S. O'B. Robinson, of counsel for Butler in the now famous libel' suit brought by Judge Adams, came down the eleva tor and was coming toward the street. The reporter stopped to see if they would "speak as they passed by," but nary a speak. Both men glared at each other, heads up. But as they passed Judge Adams brushed against Judge Robinson Quick as a flash both men turned and the latter, point ing his finger at the former,made some remark inaudible very far away. Judge Adams, however, was more noisy and said, 'Then get out of my way! There they stood, glaring at each other, while the Record man expected to see a first-class fight and had his pad out ready to chronicle it, bat not a blow was struck and in a second or two each turned and went his way.

When you have a scratch on your hand you wash it out and cleanse it and then the skin cures itself. You do not take blood medicine to cure a fes tered wound. The best skin specialists today are agreed that the only way to cure the skin is through the skin. The fact that eczema is a skin dis ease and not a blood disease is evident from statistics which show that nearly all eczema sufferers are perfectly healthy in all other ways except as to eST 1 fi Ol3 " eczema patients T weaj really sunering irom an inward rmafady, the entire body and not only the SKin wouice diseasfvJ. You fan prove immediately the re lief of a true skin cure by using oil of wintergreen as compounded in D. D. D. Prescription. This liquid attacks the disease germs, numbing them, while building up the healthy tissue of the skin. We have now handled this meritorious and thoroughly -scientific remedy for so long and have seen its reliable result so many times that we freely express our confidence. J. G. Hall," Oxford, N. C.

Carmack Dies in Street Duel. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 9. Asa quel to the recent bitter Democratic primary for the gubernatorial nomina tion in Tennessee, lion Edward Ward Carmack, former United States Sena tor from Tennessee, was shot iind kill ed in a street duel here this afternoon by Robin Cooper, a young attorney. Young Cooper was wounded in the shoulder by a bullet from Ca rm a ck 'si re vol ver and is to-night under police surveillance in a local hospital. Hi condition is not serious. Carmack was wounded thiee thes, in the neck, the breast and the h;fb shoulder. Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, father of the younger man, was witlt his son during the affray but did noc fire a shot. It is said he stood by witlt pistol .in hand. He is detained to night at police headquarters. The di rect cause of the killing is a recent series of editorials in The Tennesscan,, a daily paper of which Mr. Caruiack:' became editor after his defeat for the? nomination for Governor. The ;.!iro rials in question had been vigorous in. their comment on Colonel Cooper and his alleged connection with wh;U Mr. Carmack termed the "Democrane ma chine" and its methods. C 1 uiel Cooper, who is well known in busim s-,, newspaper and political circles in Ten nessee and . the South, had, it is :'n notified Mr. Carmack that the refer ences to him must cease. Anollujr such editorial appeared this morning;. The men fought at close quarters and there were but few witnesses. It was past 4 o'clock in the dusk of ihe afternoon. They met on Seventh av enue north, directly in , front of the; Polk Flats, a fashionable apartment house. Mr. Carmack had jnsi Jilted. his hat to Mrs. Charles H. Eitinait, a friend, who was passing. In a mo ment the firing began and Mrs. East man was a horrihed witness at close range So close was she that one of" the Coopers is said to have charged. Carmack with being a coward and hiding behind a woman. C ooper's friends charge that Carmack fired tht? first shot but the dad man's friends) stoutly protest ttiat "Tiis opponent was the first to shoot. The tragedy created the most in tense excitement throughout the city and within a short time the streets in the neighborhood were thronged Ex... Clerk Elect J. (. Shotwell was in. town Saturday. Mr. Shotwell will move in town very shortly to take charge of his office in December. NATURE'S 'WARNING. Oxford People Mast Recognize andt Heed It. Kidney ills come qu.'etly mysteri ously.
