O'Clock services at the Baptist and Pres
byterian churches next Sabbath. and at
the evening hour union services will be
held in the Baptist church, when the
new pastor, Rev. S. G. Blackburn, will be
welcomed by talks from the resident pas
tors in behalf of our people. At the
morning hour communion services will
be held at the Presbyterian church.
There will be services at the Presbyte-
rian church on Thursday and Friday
evenings at 7.45 O'Clock preparatory to
the communion on Sabbath.
At the meeting of the Ladies' Aid and
Missionary Society of the PRESBYTERIAN
church, on Monday afternoon, it was de-
cided to have an oyster supper for the
benefit of the society on the evening of
the 14th instant. Desserts will also be-
served. AS this is the first thing of this
kind given in Seneca this season, it will
doubtless receive liberal patronage
from the public.
1t has been suggested by some of our
business men that an organization, known

While the idea originated with some of
our leading business men. it is proposed
to make 1t woman's concern, in which
the good women of Seneca are to be
actively engaged. They, of course, will
receive the hearty support and co-opera-
ton of the business men, but are to take
prominent interest in any measure that
tends toward the improvement Of the
town. 1t Is desired to call mass meet
ing of the women of Seneca, at which q
free and full discussion of the subject
will be held, and measure that 80 vi.
tally concerns every citizen of the town,
regardless of condition or circumstance,
cannot fail to attract the attention of
every publicspirited citizen of the place,
man, woman and child. A town as thor
oughly alive to public interests generally
as ours is, should certainly keep pace
with other towns all over the country
which arc making strides along the lines
above mentioned. Certainly nothing is
more attractive to prospective citizens or
to general public than an orderly, clean,

Iigent expression of their views at the
meeting which is set for Friday after
noon, February IS, at the Palmetto
House.
We would like to jog the memory of
our town council about the well that they
promised us at the cemetery.
We call the attention of an interested
public to the meeting which Miss Marye
II. Shelor has called for March Sd at the
court house. The meeting is called at
the request OF the president of the South
Carolina Association for the Improve
ment of Rural Schools, Miss Nance. The
object of the meeting is to show a CO.
operative spirit toward the State associa-
tion in bettering the country schools.
The meeting should interest large num-

company has been in Greenville and
other large towns for long Engagements,
and comes to our town with strong testi-
monials of merit. AS this is the first op-
portunity opr citizens have had to see
high-grade hypnotic show. there will
doubtless be full house. Popular prices
will prevail.
1t is thought by some of our citizens
that Seneca real estate is unreasopably
high and that the prices paid for lots
