The Salem. church that was built by the Methodist and Presbyterians, many years ago, long before Foster’s day, and has been the scene of many big revivals, and its congregations so large that the church many times was filled beyond its capacity. iy The church stands in the center of the cemetery where scores of people lie sleeping that. have heard these gospel sermons preached, and many a funeral sermon, and many a bitter tear has been shed. But we are truly sorry to see and to say the congrega- tion has diminished until there is only. a little band to worship there. The Presbyterians:have bought the South Methodist interest, who have moved their membership to the M. E. church North, and it seems as though there is a cold shoulder turned on dear old Salem, that has sheltered other denominations for many years. While there is preaching only once a month, it does look hard ‘to see the church for a place to worship in years }gone by, to'turn a cold shoulder on the old church now.. Rev. Whitsett, the Presbyterian minister, preaches once a month, and is a good man and Mrs. Hattie Cox departed for her an excellent speaker,-and the people irrespective of church- creed, should ; je .who ‘have used the Salem} Most of the money that has been paid is from people who live at a dis- tance. And heretofore it was used on all graves, but this year it will be different. ‘Those who send ‘money are the ones their relatives graves will be looked after. It ishoped the people will take more interest in the cemetery and help to beautify the home of the dead. The place we all hold dear, in which every one is in- terested. DINAH.
