Graham on Friday evening, 23rd ult.,
was well attended and passed off
pleasantly. At 12 o’clock supper
was served gt the Gfaham Hotel,
which eclipsed anything of the kind
ever gotten up in Graham. Mr.
Morton knows exactly how to get
up a supper, and on this occasion
he surpassed himself.
The county safes have arrived
and have bean placed in position.
One of them is a “whopper”—weigh-
ing nearly nine thousand pounds.
