GRAHAM
From reports received in Graham there has been a serious loss of lambs on the farms in this section during the recent severe cold weather.
Mr. SPENCE has sold his property here and is going back to the farm. While we regret to lose him, it appears to us to be a move in the right direction.
Mr. HOLLYFIELD, a machinist of Bluefield, has purchased the Spence property
and he, with his wife and two fine boys, will move here. His wife before marriage was Miss Maud DAVIS, one of Bland County's best school teachers.
At the recent citizen's meeting here Mr. J.W. HICKS made a strong and eloquent
appeal against the proposed saloons in Graham. It was rather personal and at times scorching hot, but sane, and carried conviction for the higher and better morals of the town.
Mr. FRYE and Andy NEEL are unloading several cars loads of fine Kingsport brick here this week. Each will build a nice brick residence.
