Last week this story concluded with a new two-story annex to the home of the late Mr. aud Mrs. James Sidney Scott. But this was after the decease of Mr. Scott. Here Mr. and Mrs. Scott reared their family For some time prior to and during the Ciyil War they made their home in Wilmiugton and Mebane. Mrs. Coriuna Scott Hunter was the oldest child. (At this writing the place of her birth has not been learned.) John L. Scott, Jr., (Jack), deceased, was born in Wilmington, and Henry W. (Buck), was born in the Gra ham home. Let US pause here a moment for a few brief remarks about Mr. aud Mrs. Scott: Mr. Scott was native this county (part of Orange at the time of his birth). He was a man of sterling character, tine judg ment, acute business sagacity, kindly aud friendly, and possess ed a vein of good humor that seemed to be ever present Mrs. Scott was Miss Betty Dounel! and was born and reared in Guilford county Site was a gentlewoman that looked diligently after her household; a real home lover; the same whether mt home orj away; out of the inato goodness! of her heart she seemed to never tire of doing for others; her neigh | bors and all who knew her loved j her?the real test after all. It would have been neglectful to have passed by these goodly people without a personal word. ! But it is not our intention to in dite encouiums aud biographies in these sketches, for there are limes when silence would be golden aud the veil of charity should bo the winding sheet. A good friend in Washington City sends us n card reminding us of the unveiling of the monu ment where the battle of Ala mance was fought. He was there and so was the writer. It was ou Saturday, May 2'Jth, 1880, the day following the commencement ex ercises at Graham College. The; event had not beeu forgotten, and in due time it will be given more than a mere passing notice. We are glad to have these re minders, and, before the narrative is concluded it will, no doubt, be necessary to back-track inauy times to pick up lost or forgotten trails. All the buildibgs which were on the Scott lot fifty and less years ago have been razed and moved away and the frontage is occupied by brick structures?W. A. Mc Adams' cash ;grocery, Crack & joe's dry goods store and Graham Theatre. Besides these there are two vacant business lots. Now we move to the next lot, North. This lot was aim bought at the auction sale of lots when the town was started. It was bought by Esquire Peter K. Har den, then a young man. It front ed on North Main St., 105 feet aud had a depth of 210 feet, the same depth as the Scott lot. Let's "back-track" here: The streets of Graham had not been named until 1802, so far as the records show. Before that date the main street North and South of the court house was designated as the "street running North from the court house," and the other streets in a similar way from or by some well known and estab lished laudmark. This explana tion, properly, sliould have been made at an earlier stage. In 1848, by act of the Legisla ture, Alamance county was erect ed out of Orange county, which was represented in the llouse at that time by Col. John Stockard and Hon. Giles Mebane, both of 1 whom tavored the measure and both residents of the proposed couuty. The town was named in 1 honor of Gov. Wm. A. Graham. After the Town Commissioners had named the streets in 18!i2, it was learned that the two principal streets of Graham were to have ! been named for these geuliemeu? that running East and West from ' the court house square, Mebane; 1 and that North and .South, Stock ard. This traditiou never came ' to the ears of the Town Board un til after it had performed the act and made a record and diagram of it in its minutes. And, so far ' as known, no one on the Board ' knew or ever heard of the nainet ' Mebane and Stockard for those two principal streets. We never knew Col. Stockard ' (he died more tlmn 50 years ago), but we knew and talked with Mr. Mebane 8 or 10 years after the naming of the streets. The mat ter was not mentioned. We did not think of it and it is doubtful if Mr. Mebane did. At the time of the naming of the streets, II. W. Scott was may Trr-jr * 'JT "j H yi ^ CIA///- 1 a promise of pleasure | IF YOU enjoy smoking, why not smoke the most enjoyable cigarette eret. V 1 made?
