Great interest on the part of
tLe citizens of Bonham has in-
sured tor this city a place, again
in the Texas-Oklahoma League.
The two thousand dollars worth
of stock has nearly been sold in
shares ot $10 each. A ten-dollar
share gives the holder one vote

The meeting of the cities in
the league and those that wish
to join the league will be held in
Sherman on Saturday. Feb*. 24th.
It was at first stated that this
meeting wou’d be held in Ard-
more, but on account ot Sherman
being the most central point and
as it was purely a business prop-
osition, it has been decided by
the majority of the cities that
Sherman is the best place. At
this meeting the substantial
work for the season will be done,
the schedule worked out and the
$250 forfeit guarantee will be de-

Mrs. Mattie Dizmang of Savoy
died Friday at the Allen Hospital
of pellagra. She was 44 years
of age and has, we are told,lived
in Savov the most of her life.
A. E. Graham died of Bright’s
disease at his home in Denton
early last Friday morning. He
had been in ill health for some
time, and suffered a great deal,
though his death came peaceful-
ly and quietly. The tuneral ser-
vices were conducted Saturday,
and the burial took place at Den-
ton.
Mr. Graham was known to
many of our citizens here, being
the senior member of the dry
goods house of Graham, Craw-
ford & Co. and spent considerable
time here several years ago.
He was, in many wavs, a re-
markable man. He was born in
Missouri in 1845 and came to
Texas with bis parents nine
years later- They settled in Den-
ton, then a county on the border
of civilization. He grew up
with very little of the education
acquired in schools, for the rea-
son that there were no opportu-
nities afforded for him to attend
school. But he learned a great
many things in the school of ev-
ery day life, and they wer$, 1 es-
sons that he knew how to apply
practically, as is proven bv his
success in business and in the afr
fairs of life.
He went to Lewisville in 1865
and engaged in the mercantile
business, in which he was very
successful. While there he was
married to Miss Sallie Herrod
To them six children were born,
four of whom yet live. After six
or eight years in Lewisville he
moved to Deaton so as to have a
larger field for his activities-
His business prospered and
grew bv leaps and bounds. He
did not long confine his business
to Denton, but began to branch
out until he was interested in
about twenty mercantile houses
in Texas and Oklahoma. At the
time of bis death his estate is
worth more than halt a million
dollars. Until bis health failed
he was familiar with the condi-
tion of everv house in which he
was interested, yet he kept no
books himself, but his mind was
capacious that it retained it all.
His success did not make him
cold toward others or selfish in
his life. He wanted to help all
men rather than to hinder, and
he never l*ried to build, up his
own success at the sacrifice of
the welfare of' another. He did
not believe in monopolies, and he
had in him none of the spirit
that leads men to seek all of a
good thing for themselves. He
helped many men into business
for themselves, and nearly all of
these have succeeded well. He
was a man of good principle?, of
broad ideas, of unflagging zeal
and energy, and above all he was
one who loved his fellows—es*

WANT A HOM
IN BONHAMS
The man who wants a home in Bonham now will have to v
buv it, for there are no longer anv places for rent. A year
ago one would not have believed so great a change could
have taken place in so short a time. Then it was no trouble
to rent a house.
T In less than another year it is going to be almost as diffi-
cult to buv a desirable home as it is now to rent one. At
present prices are very reasonable indeed. It is really
cheaper to buy than to build. But it is inevitable that
prices must advance. It we expected^ (b buy a home in Bon-
ham, we should buy the first day we could find a place to
suit us, confident that we were saving by immediate action.
If anv ot these homes suits you, let us show them to you.

peciallv the weak and the op-
pressed. How well he. loved
them few knew, and only his
death brought to his family and
friends knowledge of the extent
of the charities be bad been be-
stowing for years. At his funer-
al Dr. R. C. Buckner, of Dallas,
made an address, in which he
said that he did not believe Mr.
Graham would want him to tell,
if he were alive, how much he
had done for the orphans at the
Buckner home, but now that the
good man was dead he felt that
he must say that besides con-
tributing liberally for tbe build-
ing of the home, he had regular-
ly sent $500 each six months for
its maintenance. Forty children
were housed in tbe rooms his
means built. Not this alone, but
many other instances of his
chanty are known.
For years be had been a mem-
ber of the Baptist church, and
when he knew that death was
soon to come he expressed no
dread of the meeting between
them.
Such men leave the world bet-
ter than they found it, and exert
an influence o-er the lives of
others that tends to grow as the
years go on. We have too tew
such rich men. All praise to
