A happy day for old Salem on
Easter Sunday. It was many,
many years ago, when on that
beautiful Easter morn, Christ, the
mighty King, burst the tomb
asunder and came forth a mighty
conquerer, the king of Kings and
lord of lords. On Easter Sunday,
the second Sunday in April, the
communion was held at Salem &.
L. church. It was a beautiful day
indeed. About nine o'clock peo-
pie began to roll in. They came
from far and near. At eleven
O'Clock old Salem was once more
filled to it's utmost by people who
had come to listen to the excellent
sermon which was preached by the
pastor, Rev. B. S. Brown. 1t was
a powerful sermon. After the
sermon the Lords supper was ad-
ministered. 1t was one of the
largest comnunions that has been
held in old Salem for many a year,
one that will long be remembered,
both by the pastor and people.
Easter Monday was a big day at
J. E. Briggs, a day that will long
be remembered by both old and
young. It was a fine day and some
three or four hundred people gath
cred in. The most interesting
part of the exercises was the old
mans ball game. 1t took our
mind back 60 years. 1t was real
amusing to see the old fellows
knock the ball and run. They
could run as hard as any one, but
not as fast. Next came the base
ball team of Salem and Gheen,
but the Salem boys licked them
up so chat there wasn't anything
left. Then came the little boys.
They had a game to themselves.
The little girls had their swings
where they had a fine time. Next
was the music With Briggs at the
fiddle and Miss Anna at the organ.
They rendered fine music indeed.
Oh, I forgot the dinner! why the
ground fairly cracked where the
table stood with all the good
things Oh it to eat. 1t was loaded
80 heavy they had to put props
under 1t to keep it from going to

had to be taken off.
Farmers are now busy planting
corn and fixing cotton ground.

of criticism is wholesome and that he has
