A eleven o cIock old Salem was onpe more filled to its utmost by people who had come to listen to the excellent sermon which was preached by the pastor, Bev. B. S. Brown.! It was a powerful sermon. After the sermon the Lord's supper: was ad ministered. It was one! of the largest communions 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 ered in. The most interesting part of the exercises was the old man's ball game. It tdok our mind hn.f.1r fift vnitra Tfc wan Tftftl amusing to see the old jfellows knock the ball and run. . They could run as hard as any ope, but not as fast. Next came the base ball team of Salem and (Sheen, but the Salem boys licked them up so that there wasn't anything left. Then came the little, boys. They had a game te themselves. Tne little girls nad their swings where they had a fine time J 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 I why the ground fairly cracked whejre the table stood with all thef good things on it to eat. It was loaded so heavy they had to put props under it to keep it from going to the ground, and, of course! some had to be taken off. j Farmers are now busy planting corn and fixing cotton ground.

This was a fine quilt and nad over 4DU names on it. Daniel Barger bought the.quilt, the price paid being $16.

Over 100 lined up and when the signal was given all rushed to the leaves. It was fun to see those little boys and girls, and old ones as well, scratching around. After all the eggs were found, they were brought to one pile and divided equally.
