Commercial Clih Entertains farmers
Cam Friday night the Graham
Commercial Club tendered a recep-
tion and smoker to the Farmers
Union of Young county, at which a
large crowd was present, and one of
the most pleasant evenings of the
season was spent ,
1‘ A number of splendid speeches
were made, which were well re-
ceived, and were very beneficial to
the people of the county In general.
Charles Junker, president of the
Farmers Union of Young county,
made a splendid talk, setting forth
the purposes and intentions of the
Farmers Union , ;- He stated that the
farmers’ interests and the town’s
interests were one and the same,
and that they should work together
and strive to more fully understand
one another. His speech was good
and to thepo’nt ah the way through.
Mayor M. K. Graham made a
good talk and read a splendid paper
on “Good Roads," which will be pub-
lished in the Leader in the near
future. •
The Firerhen’s Band furnished
music for the occasion, and during
the serving of refreshments played
several selections,
i After the program was concluded
nearly every one present accepted
an invitation from George Harris to
go over to the Orpheum afid witness
the moving picture show. Three
films were shown, which completed
the evening’s entertainment and all
went home feeling that,this was the
best reception and smoker the Gra-
ham Commercial Club had ever
given. We have heard nothing but
praise of this splendid entertain-
ment, for which Secretary Staton
deserves great credit.
At the Methodist church Sunday
usual services. At 11 a.m. an avia-
tion sermon, ’The Christian's Air-
ship:" «t 7 o’clock "Hobbled.’, Every
one welcome.

New Piano For Nigh School.
The High School has been greatly
in need of a piano for several years.
This has been met by having a
high-grade Bush & Gerts piano
placed ifi the auditorium of the new
high school building. This is a very
high-grade instrument as is attested
by by those who have examined
it. Many pianos .were offered but
it seemed that this was the best
proposition offered. The piano has
a teg year guarantee against. any
defect and with proper calrc it,will
be a long time before another one
will be needed for the apditorium.
The teachers and pupils are de-
lighted with the, instrument, and
shall be pleased to have the citizens
of Graham patronize liberally enter-
tainments given by them to rai^
money to pay for it.
If it will add
dinner we have
special
our store.

A IETTE* TO THE PUBLIC.--—
TO THE PUBLIC:
I have the Hans Hanson Company contracted to play
at the Opera House one night, Saturday, January 14th.
It is a 4-act comedy drama full of specialties. The
company carries an elegant band and orchestra. The band
will give a concert in the main part of the city at 3 :30 P.
M. and another concert in front of the Opera House at
7:30 P. M.. No parade, bilt just a real band concert with
real classic music, and some ragtime and popular musio.
One of the numbers will be The Hunting Scene, where the
band imitates the hunt in the forest. You can hear the
birds sing, the hunters’ caHy the hunters singing, the dogs
barking, the shooting of the fox, etc. The whole thing
combined w|ll make you feei as though you were out in
the woods on a hunting trip. Everybody be sure and hear
this elegant open air band concert at 3 :30 P» M. They
also carry an orchestra that any city might justly enyy* ^T charged with disturbing the peace;
have heard lots of good reports of ;this company, and
positively know that they are O. K. and will give the
people the highest'kind of a guarantee against a bad show.
I will say thre much, that if any person is not entirely
satisfied that they have received their moneys worth after
the* entire performance, I will personally refund their
money at the box office. Hoping that we give them a
good house, Trelfiain,'Yours truly, ; : j
* ,J- Q# Vaughan, Opera House Manager.
