Wednesday at 11 o'clock, Mr. Jas. A. Graham died at his home in this place, of apoplexy. He was about fifty four years of age at the time of his death, and was one among the early settlers of Calhoun county. He was a man of quiet habits and kindly nature and was popular with all who knew him well. The tenderest sympathies of our community go out to members of his bereaved family.
