antly remembered by many friends here,

Maud Hopkins.
Miss Rema Farmer, of Anderson. spent

| oiu OF nd
others are picnicking at various other
points.
Will Kir kpatrick, of Memphis, Tenn,
is here for visit to his parents, Rev.
and Mrs. NJ. r. Kirkpatrick
Our church-going people will bear in
mind the announcement made last week
OF the coming protracted services to be
held in the Baptist church. These SER
vices will begin on next Sabbath at tho
morning hour, and will be continued
through the week. The pastor, Rev. G.
Wardlaw, will be assisted by Rev. NJ. K.
Paris, of Asheville. j. A. Durham will
have charge of the music which will be
made chief and attractive feature.
There will be two services daily. The
business men have agreed to close their
places of business from 10 to IL a. m.
What appears to be and is doubtless a
delight to the small boy and children of
our town, but what is moreover death
knell to our mothers, is the coming of
the "merry go-round." 1t is being put
up while we write. Heaven deliver us 1!
An important step, and one that is at
tracing the attention of citizens through
out the State, is the initiative of the dis
pensary fight in this county beginning
to-day in dead earnest. 1t is suggestive
that the petitions asking for vote on
the question should have been put in cir
culation to-day, the Fourth of July. Rev.
Q. Wardlaw is one of the prime movers
in the fight, which insures an ca nest and
thorough canvass among our people on
subject of such vital interest to every
citizen of the county.
Among the many attractive entertain.
pents arranged for and complimentary
to the house party of Miss Lulu Gignil-
liat, which is in progress this week, may
be mentioned the lawn party in the park
last evening, an excursion to Tunnel Hill
tomorrow and another to Fort Hill on
Friday next, with many minor plans of
entertainment.
The pulpit of the Presbyterian church
last Sabbath morning was filed by Rev.
Mr.. Strickland in the absence of the pas
tor. An attractive feature of the service
was the vocal solo rendered by Miss
Keith, Of Chattanooga, who sang Alb
bott's "Just for To-day" delightfully."-.
On next Sabbath Miss Keith has gem
erously consented to sing again at the
Presbyterian church, and will sing by
request, "Oh, Dry These Tears" by
Riego.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. A.
b. Benedict and daughter, Miss Anna,
arrived in our town. They are gladly
welcomed to our midst Mr. and Mrs.
Benedict are the parents of our esteemed
townsman, Geo. G. Benedict.
A CHARMING RECEPTION.
On last Friday evening the handsome
home of Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Gienilliat
was one of great attractivenes, when
their daughter, Miss Lulu, received, in
honor to the guests who compose her
house party, Seneca society en- masse.
The natural beauty of the broad We.
randas, with their burdens of luxuriant
vines, was greatly enhanced by beauti-
full foliage plants, rugs, comfortable
seats, etc., the whole being softly lighted
by many Chinese lanterns, while the in
terior was brilliant xy;th 80, ao,.,o. ..,a
