Miss Mary Abbott, whose display of
chrysapthemums at the flower shows
here attracted such universal and ad-
mired attention, has, at the solicitation
Of her friends, decided to exhibit her
flowers this year at her homo near town,
inasmuoh as the Floral Association does
not hold show this year. Miss Abbott
has handsome collection of roses and
hot house plants also, and will spare no
pains to make the occasion worthy Of q
full and liberal patronage from the pub
lie. The date is set for Saturday after
noon, November 1st, when the queen of

We haven't heard much about the
5. +. q. A., but we are like the old lady,
who, when with hammer and saw she
undertook to build barn and when
demonstrated with upon the absurdity of
the situation, replied, mo can't build
the barn, but l can keep up such an
almighty racket that somebody'll come
and build it for me-" We see daily
more and more evidences of the need of
such protection to dumb brutes in this
vicinity, and we are not entirely hope
less, as visit upon the subject from one
citizen shows that there is an interest
felt by some on the subject.
Everybody should go to hear Sam Jones
next Tuesday evening at Walhalla. 1t is
true that the circus in Anderson to-day
is attracting large crowds, but this will
not detract from Sam Jones's show next
week. The difference is this: Sam Jones,
while he is whole box full of monkeys,
and the entertainment he gives is second
to none from literary or humorous
standpoint, leaves healthy influence aud
good effect, and none will be the worse
for going. Let everybody make an effort
to hear the inimitable Sam, and at the
same time encourage laudable enter
prise.
How unfortunate to possess the curious
disposition to ask the why's and where
fores of the mixed condition of society
affairs here, and to meekly add, "Where's s
everybody at" anyway? We would sug-
gest that all the young folks names be
put in hat and new start taken

The many friends of DR.. e. M. Cole

time.
1t has been suggested to your CORES
pondent by leading citizen that an Or
gani zation for the study andapractice of
civics by the citizens of Seneca would
be, as experiences have proven, Smost
commendable and certainly productive
of great good to the town. While we
have had many improvements the past
few years that add so greatly to the
appearance and convenience of our place,
still there is room, in fact a crying need,
OF further improvements, which, if or
ganized effort is made, will follow easily.
Let us think of this matter and then act.
On next Saturday morning at 10
O'Clock, Mrs. M. w. Coleman, Regent of
Andrew Pickens Chapter Daughters of
the Revolution, calls meeting of the
Chapter and urges full attendance of
the members. A meeting is imperative,
and it is hoped that the members, parti-
cularly those of the county and Walhalla,
will make an effort to attend. The
meeting will be held in the parlors of
the New Keowee Hotel.
The attention of the public, and par
tcularly of our schools, is called to the
fact that Arbor Day is nearly approach
ing, and that the exercises pertinent to
the occasion should be made as full and
as interesting as possible. 1t is under
stood that all the schools in Oconee will
engage in celebrating the day, which is
a most gratifying fact.
We are glad to be able to say positively
that IN the near future tn, readers of The
Keowee Courier will hav the pleasure
of seeing series of letters which our
gifted and talented Mrs. M. w. Coleman
has kindly consented to contribute, de-
est in Europe. That this will be de-
lightful treat goes without saying, as
MIS- Coleman possesses style peculiar
to herself-bright, versatile, smooth,
with unusual descriptive powers; keen,
perceptive, and happy, attractive man
ner of expression which always carries
interest. Outside of the fact that such
letters will carry deal of valuable infor-
nation, the very fact that they are from
the hand of one of our own country
women will give them an added charm,
and our people will appreciate her kind.
