The magnificent specimens of hydran.
gea which were seen in the Baptist
church last Sabbath and IL the Presby-
terian church the Sabbath previous
were the property of Miss Rebecca DAILY
and Mrs. G. v. McCarey, respectively.
The custom of placing floral offerings In
our churches is q beautiful one and dur
ing tho season, when they are to be had,
the pulpits should never be found with
out them.
The music at the Baptist church last
Sabbath by mixed choir was pleasant
feature of the services.
On the second Sabbath, as heretofore
announced. protracted meeting will
begin in the Presbyterian church. The
pastor will preach at both services on
Sunday, and on Monday Rev. s. G. Byrd

and the prayers of our Christian people
are being offered for genuine and thor
ough revival of religion in our town.

Seneca dirt has taken such a spirit up
ward that those who are fortunate as to
own a few spoonfuls are thought to be
strictly Gin it." We hope our land owners
will not make the mistake of holding
their lots for eXorbitant prices and thus
retard the growth of the place. We
want an influx of substantial citizens,
even at the cost of a few dollars from the
pockets of our moneyed men.
DIR. E. A. Hines returned from an ex-
tensive Northern tour the latter part of

meeting of the association was very
full one, there being present about 15, 900
members. After the session of the asso-
citation the doctor turned his time and
interest to hospitals, visiting many of
them and witnessing the work in their
various departments, in several Northern
cities. The doctor speaks also of the
pleasures of visit to the National Capt.

renewal of an acquaintance with our
Representative, Hon Wyatt Aiken. In
fact, the courtesy which Mr.. Aiken shows
his friends who meet with him there
from time to time has become proverbial.
