Salem's noted Centennial company met for their yearly gathering at the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. Dwellie Smith, Saturday, Sept. 12. All of the company living were present, Mr. Elam S. Worden having passed away February 13, 1903. Our hose and hostess were untiring in their efforts to make the occasion pleasant and enjoyable. At 12 o'clock a delicious dinner was served in the dining room, which was beautifully decorated with festoons of bunting with spreads of white and pink asters. At 2 o'clock the president, Mr. Charles Coldron, called the company to order and a very interesting program was carried out by members of the company. After another social hour we were again invited to the dining room, where we found waiting us delicious fruits and watermelon. Again at the president's call we gathered in the parlors and sang our parting song, "God be with you till we meet again." The goodbyes being said we repaired to our several homes wondering would the fourteen that were present be spared to meet at the reunion Sept. 12, 1904.
