"A COMING ATrRAcrIoN.
A great attraction in store for our
people Is the coming on November 25 of
the famous Montauk Quartette, which
will appear in the school building on the
evening of the above date. Truly rare
treat is in store for our music loving peo-
pie. The very fact that the quartette
comes under the management of the
southern Lyceum Bureau is sufficient
guarantee as to its worth, and but for
the fact that it is an 'off night" with
the company Seneca couldn't possibly
touch 1t, and she is therefore peculiarly
fortunate IN securing it for this night.
The quarteite consists of four ladies, all
of them high grade soloists, which were
organized into quartette about five
years ago. They have, therefore, sung in
all of the large cities of this country and
have received high eucomiums every-
where. The tickets will be- sold at 90
and 25 cents. We are sure that our citi-
zens will evidence their appreciation of
the efforts of our school management,
fr,,s fha,~,
by turning out in large numbers.
Let us not forget, when we are enjoy
ing the good things of Thanksgiving,
the poor in our midst. Anything that
will make brighter the life of some un-
fhSrtqhnats, hn thn viii be most gladly sreseived
effort toward liberal helpto the poor at
this time. These noble people are doing
grand work and deserve all the encour-
agement possible. IVY
With all due respect to our modern
methods Of teaching mathematics and
also to the makers of the late arithme-
tics, we are old-fashioned enough to
like the old way the best.'' In fact,
any well-balanoed intellect will recognize
at glance how far-fetohed and un-
reasonable, utterly beyond the ken of the
average school boy and girl, is the ar
rangement of the exercises in these
books. The following is a sample: The
greatest height ever reached by balloon
is ~ 200 feet. How many miles has a
balloon asoended? Now, please remem-
ber that there has not been q rule up to
this date to guide the young idea, and
this is but very simple illustration of
what one meets on every page.
We extend to our Walhalla friends a
cordial invitation to meet with us on the
25th instant and enjoy the Montauk
Ladies' Quartette. And, since we think
of it, we believe you owe us a visit or
two along this line.
Some of our citizens think fifty cents
"a little steep" for tickets to the enter
talnment on the evening of the 25th. If
they will think for once of the class OF
the entertainments, and keep in mind also
the fact that we are barred the privilege
of seeing at our place attractions of this
grade, then fifty cents, once in life
time, so to speak, seems very little bitl
DIR. John g. Law preached one of his
very best sermons at the Presbyterian
church last Sabbath. 1t is always plea
sure to our people to hear this gifted and
consecrated man. The choir rendered
Creation" (Hayden) with good effect.
AS Seneca tries always to keep apace
IN IN various lines OF progress we suggest
quartette, sextette or double quartette,
be effected into regular organization and
use their talent at our church services
occasionally. Taking the several choirs,
we find good amount of fair talent,
which, under proper direction and prac-
tice, could do most creditable work.
surely some OF us are narrow enough to
suppose that our, choirs would not work
together in perfect harmony.
There is some talk of an entertainment
being arranged for the holidays. Let it
by all means be done.
number OF our young women have
organized. themselves into W hat ia termed
a "Gossipers' Club" We would be glad
to define the workings of this club, but
as we are not "in it, and Webster doesn't
help us out any, we will have to leave the
public tohere zoe are atm the dark.
Now Webster defines gossip as one who
acts as sponsor to child in baptism, or
as friend or companions; or, again, as
one who runs from house to house tat
tiing or telling news. Dear girls, please
declare yourselves.

their sympathy for the little orphan boy,
whom they have asked to clothes;' There
was everything that could possibly be
used toward clothing the boy, and added
to these were bedding towels, etc. In
the coat pocket will be found 4 warm
pair of gloves and purse, which we
fancy will add more to the ,pfeaSure of
the opening than anything else.
