Juffce Waite.

At the approaching session Of the
United States Court, when Judge Bond
is expected to be here, there will be a
meeting of the bar of the city to take
suitable action upon the death of Chief
Justice Waite.
The Justice was very popular here,
and deserved to be, for while he was
always man of great dignity, he was
ever pleasant. kind, and approachable to
all. No one could have been more 80,
and hence no member of the bar, no
court official, no one who came in con-
tact with him, has anything but the kind
est recollections of him.

THE TOWN.

Oxford is the county-seat of Granville
county and is thirty-six miles north from
Raleigh, at the western terminus of the
Oxford and Henderson railroad. In
1884 It's population was 1888; now
it is estimated at at least dcu-
bic this number. The great sta
pie of this section is tobacco and in
the last few years the market for "the
weed has become so good as to give
Durham strong competition. Oxford is
129 miles from Richmond. To go there
one will ride 70 miles on the Danyille
road to Keysville and there take the
Richmond and Mecklenburg road for
Clarkesville, which is "A miles from Ok
ford and 81 from Keysville.
This Oxford connecting hnk-together
with the Richmond and Mecklenburg and
many other roads in that sections
operated by the Richmond and Danville
Company and was built by Mr. Pace and
associates, several OF whom are inter
ested in the Danville Company.

1t is stated that when Leopold Won

history singular accident occurred
III his native town. A bridge gave
way one morning, and some persons
were swept away in the current be-
meath. Won Ranke, who was absent

saw the bridge fall, said one of
the neighbors. "A heavy vain had
just passed over it and weakened it.
Two women were on it when it fell,
and soldier on white horse. 81
saw it fall, declared another" but
