IS YOUK SAVINGS PLAN WORKING?
If you save as much in the next fifteen
year as you did in the post fifteen
years, will there be adequate funds for
the old age?
If Not—let's talk over a plan that will
work without fail. ;

50 Yeors Ago
There are but few papers in this
state nnd probably none in North-
west Texas that can boast of
twenty-three years of existence
under one name and one manage-
ment, and unbroken issue for so
long a period of time of The Gra-
ham Leader. In its day it has seen
the best and the worst, the clouds
and the sunshine, the darkest and
the brightest of human life, and its
columns have chronicled a true his-
tory of our county during these
long ahd eventful years. The edi-
torial conscience is clear, for its
pages have always been free of
offense against the morals of our
people and active in upholding the
true and the good.
There is now no doubt that the
cotton mill will surely be built.
Ail the stock of $100,000 has been
subscribed and^G. M. Bowie is
expected home this week, when
the organization will be completed
and officers of the concern elected
Col. P. B. Hunt came in from
Dallas Monday evening to look
after his ranch interests. j
The failure of the cotton crop in
Younfe county is a hard blow to
our farmers and merchant*. .
The bicycle has come to Graham
and come to stay it seems, in spite
of sands, mesquite thorns and
other impediments of the wheel.
Quite a large number of our young
•men now ride the wheel and the
horse is becoming a thing of the
past and rapidly dropping into
“inocuous desuetude."
Quite a number attended the
cowboy’s reunion at Seymour last
week. .,
N. F McCain’s little girl got her
arm broken last Sunday evening
while at play.
"Old Sol’’ has been getting in
his work in fine style for the past
two weeks. He hail destroyed the
cotton crop, dried up the gardens
and baked the melons and drank
up more water than all the horses,
•cpttle and people could consume in
twelve months. He has forced the
mercury to tremble and totter be-
tween 105 and 110 in the shade
and has kept the ice men busy
while making “sweaters” of us
all._______
J. H. Mittenthal, who has been
in St. Louis for some time buying
goods for his house here, returned
Tuesday night.
E. H. Wade left Wednesday for
Galveston.
H. L. Morrison returned Monday
from Chicago where he purchased
a large stock of goods for his
house.
Parry Colli ns Is
Patient In Fort
Worth Hospital
Perry Collins, small son of Mr.
and Mrs. V. T. Collins, 508 Vir-
ginia, is reported to be improving
after he was taken to the Harris
Methodist Memorial Hospital, Ft.
Worth, in a Morrison ambulance
Sunday night about 10 o'clock.
Perry' became very ill Sunday
and following emergency treat-
ment at the Graham Hospital, it
was decided to rush him to Fort
Worth. It was at first feared that
he may be a victim of polio, but
the diagnosis at Fort Worth re-
vealed that he was suffering from
an infected ear.
Full Gosp'ol Mission

A nice group attended churcl)
at1 the Full Gospel Mission Sat-
urday. Sue Cunningham led the
children in singing choruses. The
story "of “Daniel In the Lion’s
Den” was illustrated on the flan-
nelboard. The children enjoyed it
very much.
A prize was then awarded to
Kathy Beard fo>- bringing the most
new children with her. The service
was dismissed by the children sing-
ing "Come Into My Heart, Lord
• THE GRAHAM LEADER, THURSDAY. AUG. IS, 1049.
