Seneca, September s,-The Graded
School opened yesterday with an on
couraging number of pupils enrolled.
There WAS also present number of citi-
zens, and the trustees. The prospect for
a good school is most flatterioR and the
patrons of tho school are congratulated
upon the splendid corps of teachers en-
listed for another year.
We regret the inaccuracy in the report
lastlweek from the sale of the first baie
of cotton here. Whether the mistake
was made by the Conrier's devil or our
self, we gladly correct the same. The
first bale sold was brought in by Prince
R;loy and others from Mrs. Livingston's
place and brought 12f cents. The second
bale was brought in by w. A. Bowen
and brought IL cents, the same day.
AT a recent meeting of the Ladies' Aid
and Missionary Society of the Presby-
terian church the following delegates
were elected TO attend the Missionary
Union, which meets the 2OthS instant
Mesdames j. s. Stribling and Chas.
Gignilliat. Mrs. w. S. Hunter will at
tend as the secretary of the union.
On Friday evening, the 22d of this
month, the South Carolina Presbytery will
convene with the Seneca Presbyterian
church. Our people deem it privilege
to entertain body Of distinguished
divines and laymen, and as usual their
homes will be thrown open to their
entertainment. 1t is hoped that our
friends from the country will feel inter-
estcd to attend the business meetings,
feeling assured of cordial welcome to
our midst. The business session will
probably hold over Sunday and through
Monday, which will enable us to have
our pulpits filled on the Sabbath with
visiting ministers.
Our merchants are getting in their fall
lines of dry goods, and the assortment
promises to be the best had here. The
demand for up-to. date goods is growing
here and our merchants as a rule keep
new, attractive lines that are rarely
equaled in place larger many times
than Seneca.
On Friday evening next there will be a
gathering of Seneca's musicians in the
parlors of tho Palmetto House for the
purpose of having few hours of social
intercourse. 1t has long been the desire
of some of our leading musicians that an
organization of our musical citizens be
perfected for the purpose of encouraging
and fostering the love of music in our
midst. We think the time now ripe for
the step and hope some one will take the
initiative in the matter.
