For long time it has been grow

the a:%c5 and intirm ministers, who
had woia themselves out IN serving
the churches at salary SO low that

selves in their old age, or in case OF
long continued sickness. This feel
ing found its first expression in the,
organization by the General Associ-

has done great work on very

SALEM, Jan. IA valuable piece
OF land lying on the south side Of the
railroad in asst Salem, has changed
hands. Fillmore Davis has bought
the same from IN. Wilcox. This
ground, is well situated for factory
location and 1t will doubtless become
the site of some industry before long.
There were several persons dicker5
ing for the ground and Mr.. Davis
has no doubt made wise purchase
in acquiring 1t.
Mr.. Davis returned only recently
after an absence; of several years.
during which time he journesed
around the world. He is a son of.
Granville II. Davis.
Mr.. Davis has also purchased the
corner lot on Water street below the
auditorium from his brother, H. III.
Davis.
