U AND 25 YEARS AGO
50 YEARS AGO
Jaauary 23, 18N
J. R. Harris comes to the front
with a fifteen months old hoc who
pulls the beam at 427 pounds.
Bobt. Hollingsworth is holding the
oounty clerk’s office down during
the absence of Capt. Gay.
The town cow seems to have a
picnic when she flops her fore feet
down into a farmer’s wagon and in-
nocently masticates his corn or oats.
Now is the time for some ener-
getic man with a small cast surplus
to establish an ice factory in Gra-
ham and get in competition for the
coming season. “There’s millions
in it”; in fact no industry pays
a better profit on the capital in-
volved.
We learn that J. Porter and Son
will soon erect a brick business
house north of and adjoining H. T.
Shumaker and Son; also that J. B.
Norris and W. C. Beckham and Son
will build handsome and imposing
bricks adjoining the old Beckham
block. The town generally is awak-
ening to a genuine building boom
and that Graham is now on an
upward tendency there can be no
doubt As the modem phrase puts
it, she has “a move on her.”
Land agents report sales are num-
erous and immigrants are coming
in every day.

In the election held at Newcastle
today to determine whether or not

living pioneer citizen of this entire
section of the country, who was
here before railroads, towns or
schoolhouses and who has been a
constant citizen since the 50’s with
the exception of two years during
the civil war, was in to see us a few
moments last Thursday and renewed
for the Leader.
The Presbyterian Ladies Cook
Books, “How We Cook In Graham,”
are now on sale at John E. Morri-
son’s, S. B. Street’s and W. D. Mc-
Jimsey’s.
The King’s Daughters, formerly
the Christmas Cheer Club, met at
the home of Mrs. Evans Mabry last
i Thursday aftemon and the follow-
! ing officers were elected: Miss Kate
Cochran, president; Miss Mary Mc-
i Brayer, vice-president; Mias Lucille
||Recd, secretary; Miss Beulah Allen,
Reporter; Miss Minnie Rubenkoenig,

A. B. Casbura returned Sunday
from Olney where he spent a week

Success Story With New Twist Revealed
In History of Superintendent Of Dairy
Department Of Fat Stock Show Exposition
1 '
There are success stories about
the boy who worked his way through
College but the one with a differ-
ent twist concerns A. L. Darnell,
professor of Dairy Husbandry at
Texas A. and M. College.
Some 80 years ago, Darnell left
hi* boyhood farm home at Lexing-
ton ,Miss„ to attend Mississippi's
State College. He had 590.00 in
his pocket. He still had that 360.00
plus an additional sum when he re-
turned home four years later with
a diploma in animal husbandry and
Veterinary science. He had worked
his way through school with the
college dairy herd and in the veter-
inary hospital.
• During the past 25 years, Darnell
has grown with the dairying mdus-1
try which now represents a net in-
come of $80,000,000.00 in Texas. He
organized the Southwestern Inter-
collegiate Dairy Cattle judging con-
test and introduced the event at the
Southwestern Exposition and Pat
Stock Show in 1923. Since 1927, ^ie
has been superintendent of the dairy
department.
' Darnell was reared on a farm
where livestock was a major activ
ity. 8ince leaving college, he has
broadened his sphere of work but
has retained a leadership in the
dairy industry of Texas. His first
connection with Texas A. and M.
college was in the capacity of in-
structor in 1914. ,(He left to attend
the University of Missouri in 1915,
earning hla master’s degree. Later,
he joined the dairy division of the
, jA United States Department of Agri-
■ 'Sgilture In the Western States with
headquarters in Salt Lake City,
YJtah. During the World War, he
did special work in food conserva-
tion. . |
Returning to Texas after the war, (
Darnell became director of agriml- I
ture at John Tarleton Agricultural ,
College at Stephenville. He re- .
turned to Texas A. and M in 1920.
(He was a member of the first
boys’ agricultural club in the Na
tion in 1908 and now holds member- ,
ahip in the American Dairy Science
