prayer service on Wednesday evening at
O'Clock In the Baptist church, and on
Thursday evening at the Presbyterian
church. Services have been announced
for thanksgiving at the Methodist church
for the morning hour by the pastor, Rev.
e. S. Jones. At the evening hour the
Presbyterian and Baptist churches, Revs

spectively, will conduct a union service

prove day of real Thanksgiving, mas

antly and peculiarly blessed.

the housekeepers with everything that

the residence owned by j. F. Hinkle and

We would mildly suggest to the resi-,
dents of so-called Peachtree street (who
by their walk and conversation declare
themselves to be the only pebbles) to

moo! When 1t comes to fresh and pro-
gressive signs, including number of
| new residences and others to follow, we
claim at least hearing.
Grading for the new side-track, which
will extend from the railroad bridge

is now we'll under way and presents q
stir that shows healthy sign. We take
it also that this means the first step to-
ward that aforesaid new depot.
A new enterprise for Seneca that will
prove wonderful convenience to our
people is under Roadway, and before an
| other season Seneca will have in her
bounds the operation of an ice factory
and cold storage plant. M. Stokes Strib-
ling and w. X. Livin gston, members of
the wholesale firm of Stribling & Liv-
ingston, have purchased the lot from
Mrs. l.. w. Jordan and will operate the
above industry thereupon.
The recital given at the Palmetto
House on last Friday afternoon was q
thoroughly delightful affair. The pupils
of both the music and department of ex-
preston did distinct credit both to them
selves and teachers and also afforded an
friends. We congratulate Mrs. Bates
and Miss Willie Cherry upon this an
other successful entertainment.
Theatre goers enjoyed the three nights

plays.

stock was not represented, either in per-
son or by proxy, hence no business could

schools last week and if our citizens
generally knew what an encouragement

school building, with it's daily work,
means to our community. The principal,
Prof. Clinkscales, courteously showed
us through the various departments and
We could but be struck with not only the
effects of splendid discipline, but thor
ough work as we'll. After witnessing
several recitations we were forced to de-
