Resolutions of Refpect to Wil liam Banks Quakenbush Whereas, our Heavenly Father, in his wise, though mysterious provi dence, has seen fit to take from our midst our dear, beloved brother, W. B. Quakenbush: Be it resolved, that in his death we, the officers and members of Graham Concil No. 36, Jr. O. U. A. M. have lost an upright, honest brother, a brother whose heart was easily touched by the infirmities of mankind, That we mourn his death and meekly bow to the will of God, who is too wise to err, and whose eyes are never bedimmed by the veil so dark to us, and which we call mys terious, That we endeavor so to live, that when we come to the river that marks the unknown shore, our hands may be filled with love, the passport to eternity, That a copy of these resolutions be spread on our minutes and a copy be sent to The Gleaner for publication.

Whitsett, Sept. 3.?One of the interesting features of the Fogle man-Shoffner renuion which will be held at Low's Lutheran church Thursday, September 4, will be the unveiling of a marker to the pio neer Fogleman who came direct from his home near the Rhine river to this section. Worship began on these grounds a short'time before 1750, and the place was first known as the Beaver Creek church, taking the name Lau's church later from the pioneer David Law, who gave the land; this family name was later changed to the present spell ing, Low. Here the Lutheran and Reformed people of this section -worshiped together, often being served by the same pastor. After twenty years on these grounds the Reformed people moved to Brick church and for years used a school house as their place of worship, la ter building a church home. The first Lutheran pastor's home was located near Mount Hope church and was last occupied by the late Rev. E. P. Parker. The second home was near the scene of the Alamance battleground where Gov.

Banking Grows More Complicated DENVER, Colo.?The Increase In the technicalities of the banking business in the past dozen years was shown by a speaker before the American In stitute of Banking which held its an nual convention here recently when he pointed out that In 1918, when the institute last met in this city, it gave only three courses, while today it gives 10, with more subjects in preparation. At the earlier date, he said, the cur- ! rlculum of the institute consisted of elementary banking, commercial and i banking law, and money and banking, whereas today It consists of banking fundamentals, commercial law, nego-. tiable Instruments, standard econom ics, standard banking, credits. Invest ments, trust functions, analyzing finan cial statements, and public speaking, while the two new subjects of bank operation and organization, and bank management are to be added.

I Graham 50 Years Ago. What was known as the Pugh cor ner fifty years ago (now occupied by Groham Drug Co., Citizens bank, Misses Amicks' millinery shop and Graham Hardware Co.), was a 2-story brick structure. The corner, fronting on the courthouse square, was a sizeable store room for the day and time it was built. It was not ornamental; just a plain brick building. It took about four steps to get in at the front door. There was a stairway In the back end of the store room to get to the second floor. This building was built by a Sel lars?we have heard it was Dr. B. A. Sellars, the founder of the large merchantile firm of Burlington, which bears his name. But it may have been a brother of Dr. Sellars. An examination of the courthouse records, as far as we have examin ed, does no disclose who was the original purchaser of this lot when the town of Graham was founded. In subsequent conveyances it is known as lot No. 2, in the plan of the town. Title was taken to the lot by Eliz abeth Pugh June 19, 1873, to whom it was conveyed by George and M. A. Patterson, wife. This man Pat terson was a merchant and did business here in the years immedi ately following the Civil war, and moved to Concord in the early 7o's. At the time we are writing about the property was owned by the children of Elizabeth Pugh, widow. There were at least four children, Frank P., Dave and two young girls, one Louella and the other's name is not recalled just now. Frank was a plasterer by trade, and Dave a printer. Dave learned the art of setting type in The Gleaner shop, afterwards going on the road and becoming what then was known as a "hob o" printer, working in sundry shops for a day or so to get a few dollars ahead, then moving on. The family moved from here to Greensboro. If any of them are living, we are not advised where. One of the girls married and lived in Florida at one time, and one of them attained some fame as a writer of v%rse. The corner store housed at one time or another sundry efforts at the mercantile business?small gro cery stores, principally. Some of them we recall were J. J. Long, Geo. A. Durham, W. F. Blackmon, R. H. Farrell, James M. Turner, J. H. Watson, John Denny, hardware, and others. In the up-stairs of the above store room the tennants were also varied. Long, Stockard and Co., made smoking tobacco there at one time. Mrs. John Denny and daughters used it for a millinery shop for a while. Here also Col. Jacob A. Long had his law office for a year or so. Before the upstairs began to be used for the above pur poses, a stairway was built onto the outside next to the courthouse square. The upstreet wing, a two-story affair, was long and narrow, about fifty feet long and fifteen or six teen feet deep. The first room, northward, about the spot now oc cupied by the Citizens bank, was Miss Sallie G r e g s o n's millinery shop. It would have vied with Dickens' "curiosity shop." But here she stitched away, fashioning headgear for the ladies of the com munity. She seemed to please her customers and the things she made enhanced the good looks of her pa trons. Grown old, she retired and passed away. For a while the aforesaid room was a miniature drug store, and used for awhile by the late Dr. Geo. W. Long. In this same room John M. Coble, prosperous business man of Burlington, when but a lad, laid the foundation of his future busi ness success. He sold fancy gro ceries, confectioneries and soft drinks. If you meet up with him he will tell you about it good-humor edly. By the way, he and mem bers of his family have Just return ed from a tour in Europe. What else is to be told about this corner will keep till a later date. ADMINISTRATRIX'S NOTICE.
