This the 10th day of June, 193 es THOMAS D. COOPER, rs Receiver Piedmont Trust C S. Dslyh U>f, Attj. Graham 50 Years Ago. We wero talking about the 1*. R. Harden store lot when we clos ed last week. The original sure was butl v in the form of an oblong squ ire, about 36 x 50 feet. Later a room of some 12 feet 'rontage was added to the south eml. This additiou was the giocery room. When this addition was built Mr. llardeu's widowed mother, then well advanced in years, was making her home with him. When she learned he was building a "grocery" room, she remousirated with him, for in those days a grocery was but auother name for a grog-shop?a place in which liquors were sold. The old soul had notions about what was a respectable and proper business occupation for her son, lieuce her objection. It was never used for dispensing "wet" groceries. After the dissolution of the firm of P. R. Harden & Son, auother firm, known as J. H. Har den & Co., was formed and carried a line of goods similar to that of its predecessor. This business was under the management of the late John 13. Montgomery and the late Milton Crawford. The latter made bis home in High Point for a number of years prior to his death. This firm went out of bu siness in 1893. Upon the organization of the Citizens Bank of Graham, the a foresaid grocery room was fixed up and was the first home of that Bank for a few months. There was ample space on the South and East of the store tor a ''hitching" lot. In those days the people came to town in wagons, buggies and other horse drawn vehicles. If from a dis tance as much as ten miles, most of them brought their dinners and feed for their horses or mules, which made a "hitching" lot a necessity in connection with a general store. Most people traded principally at the store in whose i lot they placed their teams. It was a sort of all-day job go 1 ing to town. The conveyance was load9d with members of the fam ily and farm products which were 1 bartered lor goods, making a grocery room a prime necessity. The old store building was oc cspied at short Intervals by several different persons for a number of years. The Alamance Gleaner occupied the second , floor for about ten year#. The store lot, about 60 x 80, later be came the property of Mr. Junius H. Harden. lie sold it to the Staudard Oil Company a few years ' ago and it is now a service station. The space between the Scott lot , (heretofore mentioned) aud the Harden store was sold in a divi sion of the latter estate and is oc 1 cupied by the old Alco theatre and the Joy cafe, both two-story brick buildings. Regarding the above lot, a search of the records reveals that it contained a half acre. In the ; original plot of?the town it was . numbered tifty-two and one-half . ? (52.i) and Mr. Hardeu's deed to it from the county beam date of , Dec. 1st, 1851. The cousideration 1 recited in the deed was $320, I ' which covered the purchase price < , for two one-half acre iots, lot 524 > l and the lot east of it. Any other reference to this lot is re served till we start dowu K. liar- , s den St. i , Now we cross E. Iltirdeii St., . one chain (66 ft.) wide, and named in honor of the Harden family, to r the home lot of 11. W. Scott. ; Fifty years ago Mr. and Mrs J. a W. Harden lived at this place. It t was their home. It was a big lot, e frontingabont 370 feet on N. Main i_ St. and 210 feet deep. Mr. Har g den became the owner of it soon 4 after the Civil War, if not earlier, f The residence was a comfortable d home with four large front rooms r and L attached. We are inform K ed that before Mr. Harden bought J and built there was a small 2-rooiu ,. cottage on the place and this be g came the dining room and kitchen e of the new and remodeled home. e A two-room house was jammed d in the southwest corner of the t- yard against Main and Harden ?g Sts. At one timA it was used for d a postoflice, and latter as sleepiug ,t quarters for the boys of the family ,{ and some of the clerks in Mr. Hardeu's store. e Mr. Harden sold the place to e J. W. Menefee and moved to his i. farm about a mile southwest of d the courthouse. That was 30 or )f more years ago. After a few le years H. W. Scott became the own-1 ft or and thoroughly remodeled the { le home, makiug of it one of the I B. handsomest residences in Grahain. The house in the corner was1 II moved to the back lot am1 con verted into a servant's house aud 0. other changes were made. The postoflice house with the slot in Jo. the door was later torn down aud moved away. C AM EL ?made to smoke 1 All the pleasure that tobacco can give is found in Camels! Mild! I Fragrant! Soothing!

McConnell are father and brother, respectively, of Mrs. Ifarrop. Mr. Harden sold a lot off on the extreme uorth side to Col. J. A Long, who placed a cottave on it. Just south of this is the excellent home of Dr. W. R. Goley. On this site stood Mr. Harden's barns and storage houses when be was both farming and merchandising. | These he tore away and sold the | site to bis son, Cbas. P. Harden, I who built a residense which was at one time occupied by Dr. P. H i Fleming and later sold to Dr. W. R. Goley, the present owner. Here we atop again.
