Magistrates' Blanks?State Warrants, I Civil Summons, Transcripts, o( II Judgments, for sale at Thk I Glkaner office, Graham. Graham 50 Year* Ago. A letter from Dr. James A. Al bright of Somerville, Tenu., ex presses appreciatioD of our "60 Years Ago" sketches. He recslls the burning? of the Capt. Graham home. He says that people returning from Sun day services at Providence church and the Presbyterian church about 12:30 discovered the fire and that a great crowd gathered, and that he was present. That Capt. Graham was very much ex cited, while Mrs. Graham was as "cool and calm as it was possible to be." That a few weeks later at the close of the Graham School (conducted by Drs. W. S. and D. A. Long) one of the students, Rev. Peter T. Klapp, in his essay at commencement on "Womau", referred to Mrs. Graham's com posure on the occasion of the burning of her home and quoted a stanza of a poem that euds with this couplet? "When pain and anguish rend the brow, A ministering angel art thou." Dr. Jim puts the fire on a Sun day, while Edgar Long's tradition puts it on the 23rd of March, 1875. March 23rd, 1875, was Tuesday according to the World Alamanac. We are not able to reconcile th's discrepancy just, now, as the bound volumes of The Gleaner or that time are not available as we write this. We believe we can iron this out later. Dr. Jim Albright, who migrated to Tenn. near 60 years ago, was living in Graham when the writer droppod anchor here. Besides the things which have come to us through the mails about these sketches, many have spoken to us personally about them, all of which is appreciated and helpful, as it is desired to make a correct narrative. Last week we closed on reach ing the estate of Cap. E. S. Parker. During the years 1878-'9he pur chased about 40 acres of land lying on the East side of the road (now N. Main St..) leading from the courthouse to Graham station, between Bill Wilson's place on the South and Providence church property on the North. About half of it, on the South, was partly in and partly outside the corporate limits of Graham. The other portion, on the North, was outside the corporate limits. A small area, about half An acre, on the East side was purchased from John W. Fianigan and wife. The Southern portion was a part of the Joe B. McMuray es state. The McMurrays lived here when the town was young. The Northern portion was pur chased from William Clendeniu and his wife. "Aunt Jenny." These were quaiut old people at that time and had some queer ways, some of which are tradition al. They lived just across the road in a little cottage. Fifty years ago thero were no buildings on the property except those built by Capt. Parker. In 1879 be built a residence and some outhouses on the most ele vated location on the boundary, which was around 80 feet to the East of the home of Louis C. Allen. lhere was a remnant of ao old apple orchard about where the reeideucee of Col. Don E. Scott and Seymour Hull now aland. The CleudouiuB had the use of tliia .-Id orchard for many years, and, though they had parted with the title to the land, they had a certain nfhoity for the orchard, and aa long aa there was any of the orchard to bear Irom year to year and the old people lived in their cottage nearby, they availed tlieinaelvea of the use of the fruit without moleatation. During the year '79 Capt. Par ker built hia -new home on the tract, and juat before Christinas of that year moved in with his family. Capt. Parker was reared on a farm in Harnett County (we be lieve this is correct), and at last, I ui a way he had returned to his lirat love. When he cauie into possession of the place there were roads and paths across it in tnaur directions as it suited the whiins of folks i getting from one place to another ; by the shortest route. More about this purchase in our next. Warrants Issued for Officers of Trust Co. At the instance of J. D. Payne of . South Alamance, warrants were 1 sworn out before W. M. Enlist, J. P., of Graham the latter part of last week for the arrest of W. W. Brown, former secretary and manager, and Mrs. A. V. Ray Boone, former treasurer, of the defnnct Central lyran & Trust Co. The warrants charge mishandling $7,000 belong ing to Payne. A THOUGHT for SUNDAY By Amos R. Wells SILENCERS for Airplanes. Goof' n**ws comes from Hiram Maxim's factory in Hartford, which, since Mr. Maxim's remark able invention, has been making silencers for firearms. When one of these silencers is added to a pistol, the noise of its explosion is only a mild putt, beard bnt a few feet away. The invention is, of course, most useful in war, rendering it very difficult to locate eueiuy batteries; also a man uiHy be shot, and people in full sight of the crime may hear no sound of the firing. This fact has determined Mr. Maxim to discontinue the manu facture of silencers, but he will turn his attention to silencing airplane eugiues. His work will restore peace to the skies. Th is use of the invention is a real benefit, while the initial applica tion of it was a curse. How quick is theilevil to utilize every means for evil, and how slow are the righteous in doing the saute! Let us become more enterprisiug in all good. Let us apply to Christ's work every im provement devised by skill and wisdom. Let us not allow Satan to outspeed Christianity. "A time to keep silent, and a lime to speak." Read Ecclesiastes 3 : 1-8.
