SALEM LEAFLETS

went to Memphis last Wednesday
afternoon 10 witness the first ball
game Of the season between Mem
phis and Nashville.
j Miss Claire Rogglk one of the
teachers during the past term, left
the first Of last week to visit friends
in Oxford, Miss, before returning to
her home in Middle Tennessee. Miss
Rogglie has been reelected to the
same position, intermediate teacher,
in the Robson High School, for an
other year
We Internationally overlooked it
in our Leaflets last week that Miss
Annie Byrne, who has been teaching
the year just closing Muhlville, Ark,
stopped in this community a short
time to visit her aunt, Mrs. ]. A. Will
son, and other relatives.
Miss Bell Pressly, who has been
teaching in Central Mississippi, stop
ped over in the Salem community
Saturday evening for short visit
to her nieces, Mesdames Ralph Nc
Daniel and S. d. Faulkner, Of Ida
vile.
Rev w. w. Boyee and wife of
North Carolina, are expected in this
evening on a visit to Mrs. Boyce's
mother, Mrs. Mary Faulkner, Of Ida
vile. They will also attend the
meeting Of Synod Of the A. R. P.
cturoh in Rosemark the latter part
of this week.
The people all over this part Of the
county, were shocked to learn over
the phones Monday morning of the
great and disastrous fire in Coving-
ton. The losers have the universal
sympthy of all our people. When we
first heard it over the phone it was
through the conversation of two
ladies, and at first we thought one
lady was telling the other Of a sud-
den death.
The closing of the Almyra school
in the adjoining neighborhood east of
us took place the last Of this week.
They are to have concert Thursday
evening. We have heard some Of the
| patrons of this school say that this
has been one of the best years work
ever had in this school. Miss Clara
Fleming, who has been the very eff
ficient principal for several years
past, was reelected. as was also the
primary teacher, Miss Thelma Sage.
The intermediate teacher. Miss jamie
Huey, declined election, and Miss
Monte Hughes was elected in her
stead. Miss Hughes also taught in
this school several terms a few years
back
The continued rainy, cold weather
is very discouraging to the farmers,
and in fact, is a damper to all kinds
Of business. Some of the farmers
almost have the blues. others look on
the brighter side. We heard one man
| philosophically express himself that
we were promised a seed time and
harvest, and that it was no use to
worry; we would yet have a time to
plant and time to reap. The
weather the last two days has been
like late autumn instead Of mid
spring, and we might well reverse
the words Of that good old song,
december was as pleasant as May"
and sing that "May is like Deem
ber.n
Many Of the people here are ex-.
pecting to attend the meeting of the
IMemphis-Louisville Presbytery, which
convenes this afternoon in the Brigh-
ton A. R. P. church, of which Rev.
j. Il. Boyd is the popular pastor.
Also many Of the people will attend
the meeting of the Al. R. P. Synod,
which convenes in Richland Al. R. P.
church, in the town Of Rosemark,
Thursday morning at II o'clock. This
meeting will be country church
meeting of this synod, and it prom
Uses to be a meeting of more than
usual interest. The opening sermon
will be delivered by Rev. r. r. Brad
ley, Of Troy, S. G., and the meeting
viii be presided over by Rev. w. A.
M. Plaxco, Of Annapolis. N. G.,
former pastor Of Brighton, Tenn.
Several items of more than ordinary
interest win likely be passed upon
in this meeting. Some Of these items
are: Dividing the Synod into two
division eastern and western sy-
mods; the moving Of the theological
seminary from its present location
Due West. S. C.-to some one Of the
larger cities of the South.
