The Historical Society, which has
been organized in Salem and has
house taken up its abode in the
formerly known as the Boys
School House, is very impor-
tant organization. For some time
number OF persons have been collect
ing the various articles of interest and
storing them in the building alluded
to. Many valuable articles connected
with the history OF the last century
have disappeared, many others are
rapidly disappearing. To save these
articles the organization was found
ed. The building has been placed in
hrst-class condition and some four or
five rooms used to store the articles
The list comprises almost every ar
ticle Imaginable. Valuable papers,
old books, articles OF jewelry, house
hold utensils, furniture, and In fact a
host OF other things have been gradu-
ally gathered together. The work
has been very great but the efforts put
forth have resulted in success.
Friday the building was thrown
open to the public and both afternoon
and evening large number OF visitors
thrOnged the rooms. A large number
of interesting sketches could easily be
written describing one or another ar
ticle in the collection and we hope in
the future to do this.
The Society now numbers about if
ty or more members and it will grow
and Increase in interest as the years
go by. Our community has much that
Is historic connected with it and each
year will make these facts and mater
ial specimens more and more valuable
and interesting. The Society should
be supported in every possible way.
Too much credit cannot be given to
the young men and ladies who have
worked thus far in connection with
the organization and from the large
number OF person in attendance yes
terday and last night we feel assured
that they have the support of the
communities in their good work.
A very interesting evening was also
held in the Rooms OF the Mems
League, one door north OF the Histori-
cal Rooms Here large collection of
| fine pictures was displayed. A small

and afterwards the pictures were sold.
The proceeds Of the affair were for the
purpose OF assisting the Wayside
