PASTOR SALEM CHURCH
Writes of His Pleasant Pastorate
i and Christmas.
! Mr. Editor: Plcaso allow mo
space in your valuable paper to give
an account of my pastoral visit to
Salem church at San tuck, orabrac*
ing the 25th of this month, December.
I was met at the train by
D..11as, Mr. L. 11. Jeter's house and
yard man. He took chargo of my
i satchel and ordered me to follow.
I I submissively followed. He car!
ried me around to the dining room
| door. There ho again ordered me
. to go in and help myself. I again
, readily obeyed. All of this had a
; tendency to raise a doubt in my I
! mind as to whose guest I was to be.
: As this is one of my homes at San!
tuck, and has been for many years.
I allowed the matter to give no
anxiety.
I spent Saturday night with I)r.
J. T. Jeter and his good wife. I
must not leave out the children,
for they were surely in evidence.
This was to be "Santa Claus" night.
The little fellows were greatly excited
as they talked about this weird
and ancient character. Early the
next morning they weac up, found
that Santa Claus had been there,
found that he had left them plenty
of good things to eat and also some
things to make a fuss with. The
visiting pastor was not forgotten.
He found on the bureau in his room
a note from Santa Claus expressing
his respects and good will, being
held down by five silver dollars.
This brought new youth to the feelings
of the old preacher. He felt
somewhat like joining in with the
children in romping, blowing horns,
<fcc.
On leaving Santuck I was in luck
again. Mr. L. B. Jeter almost
loaded mc down with good things
to eat. This will ston mo (mm
going to the market for a week or
more. As these rich and nice
things were prepared for immediate
use, Mrs. Mahon was equally rejoiced
as they would also atop the
cooking.
I have been the pastor of Salem
church at different times dating
back more than twenty years. I
invariably withdrew against tho
wishes of the church, for the reason
simply that circumstances and tho
demands of my work elsewhere
would not permit mo to remain.
Upon one occasion the church flatly
refused to accept my resignation.
The close of this year finishes a
four years pastorate I am serving
under wlrnt wo term an indefinite
call. It seems to be the desire that
tho relation shall continue. By divine
help I shall endeavor to propare
my sermons with greater care
and make for the membership even
a more affectionate pastor. I have
heard compliments paid Salem by
well-wishing friends. It was hard
to raise tho pastor's salary for the
first two years. For 1903 above
tho amount promised or expected
was raised. When all the returns
are in more than the amount expected
will bo raised again for 1901.
In the moantimc the association apportionments
are raised and other
expenses met. Like most other

meml>er8hip who never are at our
services, or send any help or message
to indicate their vital cpnncc"
tion with us. This could easily be
attended to one way or another and
thus save the church from an un*
pleasant duty. I l>ear not' only to
the membership of Salem church
sincere Christian k>y?? but to all
the people of Santuc.* They, come
to hear and take part in our servi*
cos. I feel solicitous that they
should 1)0 benefitted equally with
my own people. The Methodist
pastor, Rev. Mr. Owens, and Mrs.
Owens were out with us last Sunday.
They helped the pastor by their
close and reverent attention. Bro.
Owens made us a prayer that was
chaste in stylo and dovout in spirit.
I would state in closing that the
"Southern" has built us a neat,
little depot and sent us a polite and
affable agent. Also some additions
and other improvements have been
made on the section master's house.
This is but right. Tho railroad
company has not a more faithful
cinpiujruu uui ouiiuujk 2i niua*
worthy citizen than R. E. Mobs.
I have not said all I desire to nay
about Ban tuck, especially about the
membership of Salem church. I
will reserve the rest for another
communication. Respect fully,
J. D. Mahon. J
A Quiet Home Marriage.
Christmas day at one o'clock in
the prettily decorated parlor, at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. G. W.
Gaing, South Main street, Dr. J.
Gary Going and Miss Aphelia Jeter
were married, Rev. L. M. Rice
officiating. There were only the
immediate family and a few intimate
friends of the contracting
parties present. The marriage of
theso two popular people was quite
a surprise to all outside the family
circle. The best wishes of their
many friends for their future happisun

A Beauliful Christmas Tree
at West Springs Graded School.
The closing exercise's of the West
Springs graded school last Friday
night were made interesting and attractive
by a large and beautiful
Christmas tree. Prof. J. M. Mars
and his accomplished assistant Mrs.
Janic Conrad had arranged quit*; an
elaVrate program consisting of recitals
of appropriate verse and songs
by the pupils and between each re
V4IV> tT VOU Upilll^D OClllI^ uauu
rendered most delightful and inspiring
music. Mr. Thomas Hyatt
made a very appropriate address of
welcome followed by Prof. Mars in
a moat instructive talk to the children
and audience.
The Christmas tree was a large
holly, planted in the auditorium
lighted with varied colored wax
tapers and upon each limb hung a
present, which made glad and joyous
the hearts of the children. The
school had extended a cordial invitation
to the ?vd>lid to be present on
this occasion and most Jiberally did
the peoplo respond. The entire
evening was most pleasantly spent
and greatly enjoyed by each participant,
and will long.He remembered.

Two Small Fires.
Friday nigbt 23rd inst., about
midnight, the small two room bouse
on Bachelor street next to the brick
stablo caught fire. The alarm was
promptly sounnded and the fire department
were promptly on the
spot. Two sections of hose were
attached to hydrants, one at corner
of Main and Bachelor streets
and tho other at corner of South
and Bachelor streets and it was but
tho work of a few minutes to extinguish
the blaze. This was a
wooden building and the fire was in
the roof and on inside walls, but so
swiftly did the fire company throw
streams of water that only the roof
and a small portion of the walls
l?. A.1 A -11 1
wviu uuuivyi? /v Biiiuii wouui'ii
house on one? side* and the shingle
roof brick stable with wooden sheds
wore in great danger of being burned
but neither caught fire owing to
water play of the hose, thus a most
destructive and terrific blaze was
averted by the skillful and efficient
firemen..
Sunday afternoon a dense smoke
was seen issuing from Dr. H. K.
Smith's dental office, second story
of tho.Mutual Dry Goods building.
The alarm was sounded and the
fire fighters were on hand at once.
The fire was in the partition wall
, between Dr. Smith's office and
Capt. R. C. Johnson's bed room,
and had it not been discovered and
extinguished as quickly us it was,
it would have been a nxwt destructive
fire.
