THs NEWS FROM SENECA.
Seneca Gets Her First Bale oi New Cotton,

Seneca, August 20.-"Fifty bed rooms,
600 equare feet of piazza floor. three
parlors and dancing hall" is the de-
scription given of one of Seneca's lead
ing hotels in last Sundays Constitution.
1t is suggested that the name and de-
scription are evidently mixed.
The following young ladies are with
Miss Stella Fincannon: Misses Annie
Reid, Lila Stribling, Mary Belle Ashe
aud Nina Stribling. Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar
Ashe and Master Oscar Ashe. Jr., are
also members of the same pleasant
household.
Mrs. Higgins and children, of Green
vile, visited Mrs. Luke Werner last week.
A large number of Seneca people took
in the excursion to Tallulah Falls last
Thursday, or rather were taken in. 1t is
curious that so great a fraud should be
perpetrated upon all innocent, helpless
people-the very fact that the concern
was advertised to reach Tallulah at IL
O'Clock, got there at $50, giving only a
very few hours there. The order was
something fearful, Seneca lady having
to stand in order to avoid being struck
by rocks thrown at the train by rowdy,
drunken passengers. If drinking is to
be allowed, we think the suggestion that
calaboose be provided, as the passen-
gers are not only rendered uncomforta-
BILE, but their lives endangered, good
one. The subject of seats was not con-
sidered, the passengers considering them
selves peculiarly fortunate to get stand
ing room unmolested.
VIM. Thompson, who recently finished
an attractive cottage on his lot adjoining
the Methodist church, is building an
other commodious residence on the
same lot. 1t is pity there are not still
others.
Prof. Henry p. Boggs, who for two
years was principal of the Graded School
here, has located at Seneca and estab-
lisk a select home school for boys. His
plan is to have ten boys, not more, yand
to give them his personal attention, be-
lieving that true education is not only
the knowledge to DO derived from books,
but moral. social and physical training
aswell. We accord Mr.. Boggs and his
estimable family hearty welcome here,
and commend him and his school to pa
rents having boys to educate.
The Baptist church held large con-
gregation last Sabbath, morning and
evening, when Rev. DR.. James, of Green
vile, filled the pulpit. The interest and
attractiveness of the services were
greatly enhanced by the presence of
Mrs. Cora s. Ligon, of Anderson, who
sang at; both services. She possesses a
magnificent soprano voice, which has
been cultivated to high degree of ex-
cellence, she having had lessons from
Americas and Europe's best masters.
She sang exquisitelY. her full, musical,
voice filling admirably the large church.
Seneca people consider themselves Pc
culiarly fortunate in having had Mrs.
Ligon with them and anticipate hearing
her In grand concert at no distant date.
