83 miles from Fort Worth. Though scarcely
two years old it has now September, 1877, about
GOO inhabitants and fast increasing witn an en-
terprising, thrifty and intelligent class of peo-
ple, the equal of any town in or out of the
state. It has a cotton gin, saw mill, flouring
mill, three blacksmith shops, oue gun and ma-
chine shop, one tin shop, eleven stores, county
and telegraph offices, one newspaper, the Gra-
ham Leader, two schools, a Presbyterian and a
Methodist church and likelv soon will have a
Baptist and Episcopal church, etc. This solid
growth, attained with a proper distance from
older large towns with like position to the west
and surrounding country, which made Waco
Sherman and Fort Worth, assures ample sus-
taining influences and resources for its growth
and trade corresponding with the settlement and
growth of the country west. Another flouring
