The ladies of Salem Church are planning to have a large time on the Haven beach, July 28. A large supper will be served. Plenty of fried chicken, hot spots and everything that is good to eat will be there. If you want a good time and a delicious supper, come on the beach real hungry and we will try to please in everything. This supper will be given for the benefit of our parsonage at the village.
