A wide array of items from Graham and nearby Young county describe hot weather, rains, crops, cattle, and market activity. Reports mention prices, stores, churches, schools, local officials, and community projects including a cemetery fence, alley cleanup, and a proposed race track joint stock company.

The suggestion urges the commissioners court to study practicability and act accordingly.
A donation drive for a cemetery fence lists contributors including Laurie Voules J H Glasgow W A Byrd W F Garrisson William Crump Rufus Cheat Uncle Jonas and others totaling 8 50. Citizens are urged to donate via Mr. B R Crawford who has raised 165 and needs at least 50 more to complete the project for the dead.
A pocket-book containing two notes payable to Ed Donaldson and a gem picture of a little girl was found near Buffalo Springs in Clay county. The owner may claim by visiting this office and paying for this notice.
