Ten virgins took their lamps .and
went forth to meet the bridegroom.
And fivo of them were wise", and Ave
were foolish. They that were foolish
took their lamps, and took no oil
with them. But the wise took oil in
their vessels with their lamps; While
the bridegroom tarried they all slum
bered and slept. And atf midnight
there was a cry make, Behold, the
bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet
him. Then all those virgins arose
and trimmed. their Jampa. And the
foolish said unto the wise, Give us
your oil; for onr lamps are gone out.
Unt-the wise answered, saying, Not
so, lest there be not enough, for us
and for you but go ye rather to them
that sell, and buy for yourselves.
And while they went to buy,, the
bridegroom came; and they that were
ready went in with him to the mar
riage, and the door was shut. After
wards camot also the other virgins,
saying. Lord, Lord open to us, But
he answered and said, verily, 1 say
unto you, I know you not. Mat

Register Before Saturday.
Suppose a Republican legislature
should be selected. .Vance's seat in
the Senate would be taken by Eaves,
Mott, Boyd or Harris. The present
system of county government would
be changed so that twenty-seven
eastern counties would be again un-'
der the shame and burden of negro
rule. The State would bo so re-districted
that instead of having a Dem
ocratic majority in our Congressional
delegation it would be reliably Re
publican. The law would be so
changed that each circuit would
elect its own Judge and thus we'd
have the luxury of such a Judiciary
as disgraced onr bencn in the time
of "greasy Sam Watts." Thus things
would move on, and we would have
ourselves to thank for the whole re
sult. : But a Republican legislature
will not be chosen. We have im
plicit faith that the recollection of
the time when Republicans did have
control in this State will deter the
white men of the State from again
entrusting affaira to the ones who
proved themselves so unworthy of it
The speech of Senator Vance, in
Roxboro, last Friday did great good
The largest crowd that has been in
Roxboro in some years heard it and
alLwere more than pleased. It was
the speech of a man who realizes that
he can't afford .to be otherwise than
honest and sincete with the men who
have so trusted and honored him. It
was worthy of a great man. That
part of the speech which treated of
the Senator's relation to the Alliance
and the Sub-treasury Bill was espe
cially effective. If there is a man in
Person county, who is not satisfied
with Vance's position we do not
know him. - Mr. Brower said in his
speech here that he would vote for
Jim Harris, a negro lawyer of Ral
cigh, in preference to Vance if he
were the choice of the Republican
caucus, but, let us be thankful, Per
son county folks are not after the
order of Mr. Brower.
By the increased tariff on tin the
caning house of Armour & Co- will
have to pay over $100,000 per year,
more for cans than they have had to
pay. This fact brings up alright in
teresting question.' WhoT - is to pay
that $100,000? 'Not Armour & Gov,
assuredly. That wouldn't be busi
ness and the house would break at
it. Not those who buy the" canned
-goods, for the Republican campaign
speakers say aC tariff don't increase
the price to the consummer. Then
who does pay it? It is paid and
' nobody pays. It ia " lostand 1 no-

publicans say, of the farmers. Since

: The Convention -at Last.
" All things that have to come, finally
do corned Which-remark, highly phi
losophic and Killis Cuninghamic; is a
very fitting introduction to a descrip
tion of the convention -caucus-of
the Republican "party f oT 'Roxboro
township that met here last Satur.
day. It was advertised to be a county
convention" and it may have been
80," but we call it of Roxboro towni
ship, because some of its leading
members did so, and ' the whatever-
it-was seemed so anxious to nave
a ticket of Roxboro men that it put
some Democrats on. About ten
o'clock in the morning the clans be
gan to gather. They were of every
hue and it was as refreshing to walk
through the1 crowd and watch the va
riegated scene as it is to. go through
the wboxU in autumn and look at the
frost-tipped leaves. (In this poetic
little simile Holloway's township may
have a kind of paradoxial place its
delegates were both dead leaves and
green leaves- green before the con
vention dead afterwards,) At" 11
o'clock the crowd around the court
house suddenly grew small it kinder
melted up into the court room. The
delegates were caucussing -with the
accent on the last two syllables. Ev
ery once in a while one on the out
side would hear through the bolted
doors and barred windows exclama
tions of triumph and of despair. Some
times they would call the chairman
"Mr. Moderator," and sometimes
r'Punch," and sometimes "Helen Bla
zes." Credentials were lacking. Our
Register of Deeds, always pleasant
and accommodating, supplied these,
but they do say he dispensed the
favor to Satterfield men only. 12
o'clock came and still' nothing but
bolted doors; 1 o'clock but no ad
mittance save only to the delegates
selected by the primaries and by the
Register of Deeds. The report got
out among the crowd outside that
they were initiating some of the gen
tlemen who had recently made "appli
cation to become members of the Re
publican party." Whatever was the
matter something kept enquiring
souls in outer darkness, and wouldn't
admit them to the inner darkeys.
But the bell rings the curtain
rolls np the door ia opened. The
caucus chairman, Mr. "Woody, has
given away to the "man who wore
the blue." Mr. Pixley smiles pleas
antly as he announces that the Re
publican convention is ready- for
business. It looked like a scene from
Haverly's Minstrel as one stefped
into the door. Some "of the promi
nent white Republicans hadn't got
ten in, and save only a few white par
ticipants, who looked rather like
spectators, the crowd was dark
awfully dark.' If one or two had had
banjos, and some others bones, we
would have enjoyed a minstrel show.
As it was we had what was just as
funny, and even Ihe most straight
laced church don't forbid its mem
bers attending a Republican conven
tion. Mr. Pixley is a presiding offi
cer after the order of Speaker Reed,
but this time, owing to the pacifying
effect of a caucus, he didn't have to
exert himself.
Henry Whitted, a clay-bank gentle
man, took charge. ' He made all the
motions and counted all the votes
He was ably assisted by a man who
might be utilized by the public
schools of the county as a black
board. Col. C. S. Winstead and Mr.
T. S. Harrison were, in the words of
the chairman "made unanimous to
represent the Republican party in
the Senate." - Mr. J. C. Pass beat
N. N. Tuck overwhelmingly for Clerk,
and he too was "made unanimous."
There was no , contest oyer Sheriff.
The motion was made and passed
that Sheriff Pully be" "nominated by
proclamat on Messrs. T.D. Woody
and S. P. Satterfield were placed be
fore the convention for. Register -of
Deeds. It would have been ungrate-:
ful for the delegates tv have" forgot
ten the man who had been the "whole
sole gain to the Republican party,'
and Mr. Satterfield joined the "unan
imous" group.' Mrl H. C. Barnett.

hadn't agreed on Coroner and Sur

Another opportunity; will be given
to invest -your money in Roxboro
lots, and there is no more gipwing
town to be found. C Money invested
here .will bring you back .large re
turns, and the beauty of it is that it
will not be very long in doing so.
Property is - advancing here every
day :a8 you know, - and everybody
that is acquainted with our town
knows that it is bound to go higher.
Joet think, a short while ago Rox
boro was considered simply as an
inland town, thirty . miles - off from
any .railroad connection, with no
prospects of a railroad - soon, . and
such being the case,; our people be
ing steady, honest people, had : no
thought of high prices, and as yetf.
have not, as many towns have, killed
themselves by asking enormous pri
ces for land. If you want to buy
a home, come to Roxboro; you will
find no more thrifty, prosperous,
kind-hearted , and" sociable people
than in our "pretty village. Our so
ciety is the very best. If you wish
to make an investment you cannot
possibly find anything that is prefer
able to our" town lots. On November
18th Mr. II. A. Reams will offer for
sale about forty, or fifty lots, cen
trally : ' located, , with nice, smooth
streets and good sidewalks running
through them, and in three minutes
walk of the Court House and ware
houses. They will be sold at public
auction, and no 4ncks in this sale
but everything open and above board.
Don't miss this opportunity, for
there is no more desirable property
in the place. Rememeber the date-
November 18th, 1890,- and Roxboro
is the Town
