Sunday’s Charlotte Observer carried on its fraternal order
page a picture of Mr. Heenan Hughes, the Great Prophet of the Grand Council of
N.C. Red Men. The annual session of this order convened in Gastonia Tuesday
evening.
Last Sunday evening at the Graham Baptist church the B.Y.P.
Union of Mebane gave demonstration of the B.Y.P.U work. Also Rev. J.C. Canipe

A tractor has been bought by the County Commissioners for
road working. No doubt it will be found more economical than the old way of
using teams, picks and shovels for shaping up the roads, taking the place of
several men and teams and doing the work more expeditiously.
Last Friday afternoon from 4 to 6 o’clock Miss Martha Holt
entertained the Sewing Club. A delightful time was spent with music and fancy

Mr. Edwin D. Scott’s Cadillac was stolen in Greensboro
Saturday morning. He recovered it late in the evening. It had been driven back
to Greensboro. During the day it passed through Graham and stopped at a
gasoline tank here for a supply. A party saw it and knew it. An officer was
notified, but before anything could be done it was driven away. Some three or
four young men were riding in it. Mr. Scott did not find out who took his car.
The only damage so far as could be seen was a worn out tire.
Lieut. Ralph Steele of Gibsonville was in Graham Sunday. He
goes back with the Burroughs Adding Machine Co. with whom he held a position
