SALEM LEAFLETS

Last Friday being April fool day,
it did not pass entirely unnoticed in
this part Of the county by some in
dividuals and some schools. Some
pranks were practiced, either on
some homes or on individuals. Also
in some schools the pupils ran away,
leaving the teachers with only few
who conscientiously would not offend
their teachers, or were too small to
join in such FRANKS
The unusual Easter cold snap last
week hit all kinds of vegetables and
fruit hard. To say the least, every
thing seems set back, but the last
few days Of warm sunshine is bring
ing most things back to normal
spring conditions.
Mr.. C. L. Mccain has recently put
a tractor on his farm and will COM
mence using it in his farm opera
tions this week.
We noticed last week that much
Of the cotton which some farmers
have been holding was being turned
loose on the market
We noticed last Friday that Mr..
j. 7. Watson, Of the lower end Of
District No. s, delivered at Atoka 10
bales of cotton, which had been sold
to Mr.. G. H. Brown, of Covingtn;
also that Mr.. o. A. Kelley,of the
same community delivered five bales
to Mr.. Brown. We have heard Of
others who have sold recently.
Rev. Mr.. Belts, Of Salem, attended
a call meeting Of the Memphis
Louisville Presbytery last Friday
evening in the A. r. P. church IL
Rosemark. Mr.. Belts was Judge
Friday night in defamation CON
test in the Rosemark High School.
We learned that young Mr.. Edgar

and that young Mr.. Gus Parr won
second place.
Mrs. Anna Brown, Of Memphis,
was the guest of her parents the
latter part Of the week.

There is to be sacramental meet
ing at Salem church next Sabbath.

AS was mentioned in the last two
issues of the Leader, the girls part
of the Y. P. C. u contest took place
last Sabbath evening. The weather
condition was ideal, except no moon
light, and good and attentive audi
ence greeted the young ladies, %
in number. BY the way, we under
stand that the young men number
just the same. The total enrolment
is 81, but during the past several
months II of their number are
away from home, either teaching or
in college. In the audience we
noticed a good many visitors from
Atoka, Sharon and elsewhere, which
gave inspiration to the meeting. Each
person in the audience, as they en-
tered the church was presented with
modest little violet, which, with
dainty little leaf, was pinned on the
lapel Of their coat, and like the we'd
ding garment of old, was significant
Of their welcome to the feast. Al
unique program Of entertainment
was provided for the guests, which
was we'll carried out. One very par
ticular feature Of this entertainment
was that it was wholly provided by
and carried out by the young ladies
themselves. On Sabbath night, the
18th inst, the young mems part Of
the contest comes, and is being look
ed forward to as another feast of
good things, and it is hoped that
those who missed the last viii not
miss the next, for these programs
are certainly treat and help to
both old and young. On the night
of the 18th the judges will render a
decision on the three following
points: Size Of audience, collection
and program rendered.
