(From tho Public Ledger.)
Mr.. j. &. Hundley has fine black
Spanish rooster that has changed his
coat Of feathers to that Of perfectly
white.
Our contemporary, the Demoor at,
for one month did noble work in Gran
vile for Palmer and Buckner as tie
vote shows. They only received the
flattering number of IA, while the
noble Bryan carried the county.
The Strause Telephone Co. has
bought out the local telephone COM
pany of Oxford for three years and
have replaced the old phones with
new ones. This is what they should
have done at first and no friction
would have been created. 1t is a
good move and we wish the company
great success as they have fine sys-
+ tenn.
After David Garrett and lack Gill,
had thoroughly canvassed the county
and found that Mr.. Garrett would lack
some votes to elect him Mr.. David
Gill then offered Sheriff Smith $3.50
and the post Office in Kittrell 4 years
to come down in favor OF lack Garrett.
Mr.. Smith declared himself no candi-
date for post master and refused to
come down. He was elected Sheriff
by 423 majority over Powell and Gar
rett. Garrett had boasted of his cleo
ton and had said only few days prior
to the election that he would be elected
by 10000 majority, but he only found
GIG of that ten thousand on election
day.-KittreU Correspondence.
(From the Democracy
Mr.. John Bullock of Bullock's has
purchased large tract of timber land
in the northern part of the county
| and has a large force of hands at
work getting out railroad crossties.
| The crosstie business has assumed
large proportions in this State. The
firm Blockie & WEIGH Of Philadelphia
have paid out about 500, 900 this yeal
in the counties of Cleveland, Ruther-
ford and Mcdowell.
The subject which seems to be com
manding a large share Of attention
Just now is kissing. Much is sale
about the unhealthfulness of the prac
tice, but the Democrats counting young
man says he "don't let such little
things as germs and microbes ant
things like that stand in his way, whel
he gets chance at his girls lips
And our poet, running across thu
Job lot of rhymes, which appear il

frightful, stuff
The Oxford girl,
Gives her lips curl,
And says, "yOur request is premature.
She never consents
10 such nonsense,
Till the engagement is absolutely sure.
Then he remembered his visit t
Durham, hence this:-
The Durham miss,
When asked for kiss,
just gives a smak delicious,
She was never heard

If her lover was bold and expeditions.
Which is respectfully submitte
with apologies) to the young man VIII
wept because Durham couldn't get on
circus and ''Bovalapus.
Then for fear that Thad Mannin
might feel sighted, he Uhe poeD groun
out this:
The Henderson girl,
Moves with whirl,
And her answer is truly laconic;
She never allows the bliss
OF coBsenting to a kiss
Unless it is strictly masonic, (Which is
say secret, but the muses. couldn't max
that rhyme with laconic.)
And he says if he can dodge To-
Pence and Greek Andrews he wi
submit this:-
The Raleigh girls bashfulncss is wOrtl
of cOmmendatiOn,
But she has special weakness for occu

Good advice. Never leave home on
