Seneca, Nov. 8. : The Ladies' Aid, aud
missionary Society of the PresbyteriSn
church met with Mrs. w. 8. Hunter on
Monday afternoon, the meeting being
one of the most delightful In tue history
of the society. Interesting papers were
read and an unusual enthusiasm pre-
vailed. The hostess served delicious hot

The pastors of the churches here are
making earnest appeals to our people to
attend the prayer meetings on Wednes-
day evenings. It will be remembered
that q short time ago the resident pas
tors decided to hold the prayer meetings
all on Wednesday night, thereby giving
the other nights heretofore used for
prayer services to the public. The fol-
lowing pertinent remark was made by
one of the pastors last Sabbath in q
forceful discourse: "The three pastors
cannot do the work neceBcary here, it
will take every man, wop.an and child
who is q Christian to keep the work up
to what 1t ought to be-"

whom he considered good enough for
any woman" We are positively certain
that we never saw one whom we consid-
cred half good enough for the sweet
young woman whom rumor says will
soon be snatched from our midst, with
| all due regard for the guide mon who
happens to be the other party in this
|instance).
