Seneca, February 4.--Dr. John g. Law
filled the pulpit OF tho Presbyterian
church last Sabbath, both at the
morning and evening services. Good
congregations heard him, both dis
courses being strong, beautiful expo
Bitions of truth from the subject,
."Tbe Lord our righteousness" At
relation to the church, the bridegroom; !;
at the evening service, tho church, as
CbristB bride, proving q delightful and
beautiful sequel to the morning service.
1t is source of regret that every mem
ber of the congregation could not be
present to hear him.
Messrs. O. w. Ashe, Dug Seaborn, Luz
Glen Maxwell and Chas. Pitchford, all of
Walhalla, vhSited Seneca last Sabbath.
The frienc of Mrs. III. II. Alexander
were pleased to see her at church last
Sabbath, after tedious confinement at
her home from la grippe.
Mrs. j. II. McCarey is in Greenville this
week, where she goes on business and
pleasure trip combined.
Mrs. w. II. Davis, of Charlotte, N. c.,
is visiting Mrs. T. Il. Stribling, who is
pleasantly remembered as Miss Hattie
Feaster.
The music program at the Presbyterian
church last Sabbath was greatly aug
mented by the cornet playing of Mr.. s.
X. Dendy, Jr.
We have been unable to account for the
fact that the city clock Is kept running
ahead of time these days, but it is now
his good lady home this week, and he is
trying to rush time on us! But it's right
hard to decide exactly whore we are "at''
when it comes to serving dinner, etc.
There are several vacant houses in
Seneca now, a thing that is difficult to
reconcile with the fact that there Is more
business done here now than ever before.
The sick list reported last week is con-
valescent, and there are no pew cases,
We notice in late Alabama paper an
editorial referring TO the health condi-
tions in the rural districts of that State
as regards smallpox. 1t is said that the
disease is raging, and that it is impossi-
BILE, under existing State laws, to control
it outside of the settles or towns. 1t
occurs to us that the same is applicable
to us as State, and that the same con-
ditions are liable to threaten US unless
the "ounce of prevention" is resorted to
in time.
Our town needs more buildings for
| business purposes. Store rooms are in
demand and now there is no possible
place for public entertainments of any
kind. Under present conditions our peo.
ple are OaTreu Uno pleaSuT6 VI any SOr'
of recreation from public entertainments
and it is an indisputable fact that "al
work and no play makes Jack dull
boy" Why not tear down some of the
eye-sores that now occupy desirable sites
for business stands, erect good brick
store rooms, with a hall above, or some
such arrangement, whereby the demand
for these thugs can be suppliedp
| Rev. j. r. Moore will hold his regular
appointments at the Baptist church here
next Sabbath. The directress of the
choir, Mrs. r. Anderson, is arranging ar
attractive program of music, and The
choir is requested to meet with her fol
practice Friday evening. The beautiful
contralto and tenor duet by Marks, "Go6
Is Love-" will be rendered at the morn
ing service as an offeratory.
The demand for that aforesaid yeas
was greater than the supply, proving
undeniably two very pertinent facts, viz
The excellence of The Keowee Courier
as an advertising medium, and-well, th'
other fact is self-evidentl Friends ap
piled from far and near. Some wer,
brave enough to ask "just so;'' others
more timid, applied through their mar
ried lady friends! NV. 8.
