Look at their names Do they need any words of commendation from our pen. Democrats begin to wo to day and by working faithfully we 5an elect our ticket in November, i In Earnest. Though the weather was very inclement last Saturday the townships were all fully represented by their best citizens.

Numbers of the delegates had to head the water courses in order to get here, this shows plainly that the people have worn the radical yoke long as they intend to, and intend to throw it off by electing our county candidates Joe Davis Zeb Vance, and Tilden. Gabriel Toots his Horn. The County Commissioners at their last meeting isrued the following order Ordered that the Treasurer pay Gabriel J. Jones $35 for services as Deputy Sheriff during tne special term of Superior Court 1876. It will be remembered that Gabriel was- on trial with his daddy and Cole and of course the county must pay expenses.

Radical Extravagance. At the last meeting of the County Com missioners, Sept. 4th, 1876, Charles Hern-don was allowed $68 for waiting on Judge, during the special term of the court and Wm. Mallory $2875 fr tne same purpose. Now we are reliably informed that Wm.

Mallory waited on the court more attentively than any one else, yet he is out of the ring and can't be paid exhorbitant prices. So much for our 7corAjrCovmtj Commissioners. The Daily Press. This is the title of sprightly little daily from Hickory, N. edited and published by J.

We have triet it and have been sufficiently amused. "Oldjno. Robinson Played." We of course went to the 'big show' last Friday for the express purpose of seeing the animals. The hard times are telling on old John Robinson. His show is inferior in many respects to what it was last year.

Take John Lowlow the clown, and Robt. Stick ney the wonderful performer away and we wou.d pronounce this travelling humbug; "bi'sted." The Minstrel Troupe. We call special attention to the advertise ment of the Carolina Minstrel Troupe which appears in to-days paper. It is an ameteur Troupe composed of young men of this place, and we hope the ptople of Oxford will turn out and give them a full house. We feel no hesitancy in saying that you will receive the worth of your money.

The proceeds, after their expenses will be given for a charitable purpose. Kittrell Items. Our correspondent informs us that Oscar W. Blacknall lost a tobacco barn and several adjoining building by fire on the 13th Loss about $300. Mr.

Earley Woodliff, the champion to bacco grower of Granville, has tobacco topped 20 leaves high. The leaves are 3 feet in length and 2 feet in diameter and it is thought that one plant will we'gh a pound when cured. When this is excelled our Kittrell's correspondent will be pleased to hear of it. Roanoke and Tar River hair. We an invitation to be present at the Annual Fair of the Roanoke and Tar River Agricultural Society on 24, 25, 26, of October.

We learn that thu society is entirely out of debt and that the premiums offered are larger and more valuable than ever before. The name of Dr. H. E. T.

Manning, the efficient Secretary, alone ensures success, as his energy and enterprise will surely accomplish hope to see Granville well reprosented. Send some tobacco, cotton and other pro ducts and show our eastern friends that we are up and doing. Who Furnished the Money? It is currently reported and generally be lieved that Manly B. Jones, the Treasurer of the county, furnished the money which carried into execution that disgraceful transaction by which Gabe Jones and the Commissioners swindled the county out of a large sum money. Everybody knows that Gabe Jones never had $250.00 in his life, and the people the tax payers are anxious to know who furnished the money that bought the Lumsden order? It is well known that Manly B.

Jones was cheek by jowl with the Commissioners and many Republicans believe that he furnished the money that bought that order. We may never know, but there will always be a suspicion that the Treasurer was a party to that dark and disgraceful transaction Democracy vs Radicalism. "The counties of Granville and Wayne are very near equal in population and property. The first has a Radical county government and the last a Democratic government. In Granville, we observe from the ToRCH-Light, the tax on poll for county and school purposes is $1.05, on real and personal property 52 cents on the 100 valuation.

In Wayne county the tax on pc 11 is 80 cents and the tax for all county purposes is 28 cents. Ir Granville county orders are subjected to a heavy discount and charges of corruption are brought against her county officials hile in Wayne county orders are as good as the U. S. Greenbacks, payable on demand, and we are blessed with an honest intelligent and incorruptable set of officials, who inside of two years have raised the county clear of debt, and out of her financial embarrassment brought about by misrule and extravagance of the former Radical administration." The above article we clip from the Golds-boro Messenger of the 7th of April 1876. Let our Granville friends meditate upon these facts.

James R. Duty, the Coroner was next called and delivered quite an interesting and humorous speech accepting the nomination for "High Coroner of the County of Granville." Mr. James 1 B.

One. by One the Roses Fall in Dis grace. We learn that bur article last week on the Jones' softened the adamantine heart of Manly B. Jone; and that he is going to pay back the $3 which he took from poor Miss Martha Kinton. But, Mr.

Jones, there is some more behind yet, and we intend this needy woman shall have it if we can be of any service to her. What right did you have to pay $82.50 for a county order that called for $1 00? What right did you have to pay Dick Jones a hundred cents in the dollar for a county order, when the needy paupers and poor jurors and witnesses all over he county can scarcely realize fifty cents in the dollar Why did you not sign the receipt showing the amount actually re ceived by Miss Kinton You now have in your possession as a voucher a county order calling for $100 for which you only paid $82.50 The Commissioners issued Dick Jones a county order for $14.50 to pay his expenses to Kaleign. thus you will per ceive that the Treasurer has $114.50 in his possession for which Miss Kinton, for whose benefit the order was issued, only received 82.50, Ah! Manly we have got you and we intend to press you to the wall. Let your name henceforth not be Assessor, but Possessor Jones. Democratic County tion.

Conven The Conservative Democrats Granville county, met in Conven tion at the Court House in Oxford, Saturday, September 16th, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the General Assembly and the various county offices. Col Jas. S. Amis called the meet ing to order, and moved that Jno, W. Stovall, be made chairman which motion was adopted.

Also upon a motion of Col. Amis, W. A. Davis, and Maj. N.

A. Greg ory, were requested to act as secreta It was ordered that the town ships be called, and that a list of delegates be furnished the secreta ries this was done and all the town ships were fully represented. Venable offered a resolution to ad journ to meet at some future day, to be fixed by the Executive Commit tee. Dr S. D.

Booth offered the following amendment to the resolu tion which was adopted, "Resolved that a committee of two be selected from each township to take the mat ter of adjournment into considera tion. wni'e tne committee were absent it was ascertained that Hon J. J. Davis, and F. H.

Busbee, were in the town, and Jas. B. Crews and A. S. Peace, were appointed to wait on the gentlemen and request them to address the meeting.

The committee after a brief absence returned with the gentlemen. Mr. Davis being called, responded in his usual happy style, casting fire brands into the radical party much to the enjoyment of his large and intelligent audience. His speech was laden with cheering news for his many friends and the Conservatives gen-erallyj He spoke for over an hour depicting the corruption of the Republican party in all of its hideous forms and aspects, both National and State. The committee, returned and submitted the following report which was unanimously received.

"Resolved that we proceed at once with the nominations of all county officers. On motion of L. A. Blank-enship, a committee of 3 was appointed from each township to suggest suitable candidates for the various offices, which committee at nee retired. During the absence of the committee, our District Elector, Fab.

H. Busbee, was called ard his response was a model of eloquence and ability, giving undeniable evidence why the public should cast their votes for the Democratic nominees. We have neither the ability nor the space to follow our distinginshed friend in his happy and convicting arguments. In saying that the citizens of Granville hope to hear from Mr. Busbee often, we but utter the sentiments of LOCAL NEWS.
