This cold weather is making the

Mrs. Sarah Brooks, of Atlanta,
Ga, sent $1.00 to the Ladies' Aid
of the Christian church as an Easter
reminder. and they thank her both
for the offering and remembrance.

Christian church Sunday morning

thing there for you that will help
you thru the next two weeks. Come! !
A true spirit of patriotism is be-
ing shown bv the little boys in town.
and we think it so commendable that
the Interior Journal readers must
know about them. They are known
as the "Sailor Club" and their Cap
tain is Edward Harris (McCarty),
and the members are: Billy Pettus,
Edward Harris, Walter Hunt, Henry
Shelby Fish, James Carpenter, AL
bert Carpenter and Porter Jones.
These manly little fellows are tend
ing gardens and the whole force goes
to garden planting it and will work
each garden as it needs it. The pro-
ceeds of each garden will be sent to
the sailor boys as a donation from
this club. Surely this looks egood to,
older ones, and the best part of it is,
it was not suggested by any but these
boys themselves.
A clipping from an Atlanta, Ca.
paper says the American Cross of
Honor presented a gold cross to DR..
st. Joseph Graham for bravery in
saving a crew of thirteen men who
were lashed to the rigging of ship
which sank near Savannah harbOr in
1898. DR.. Graham with one negro
man, Peter Dodge were the only
ones of ships crew who would ven
ture out upon the stormy sea whose
waves dashed the smoke-stacks of
their craft and after three trips sue
ceeded in saving the thirteen men.
For this act of bravery DR.. Graham
was presented with gold medal of
honor and the negro with a silver
one, by both the United States and
Canada, and now the gold cross has
been presented to him for brave
deeds. The only other one to re-
ceive this honor and distinction was
Gen. Joffre, the hero of France The
many friends here of DR.. Graham
will rejoice with him in this honor.
AS he was born in our city. Crab Or
chard justly feels proud of him.
