THE NEWS FROM SENECA.


Baptist church next Sabbath morning
and evening. AS there will be no ser.
vices elsewhere, there will doubtless be
large congregation at this church.
! The hour for prayer meeting at the
Presbyterian church has been changed
! to 7.45 o'clock, and is held on Thursday
evenings. Our people should bear in
mind the mid.week prayer services at the
Baptist church on Wednesday evenings
and at the Methonist church on Tuesday,
evenings.
Rev. w. ii. Davis, of Mecklenbure
Presbytery, filed the pulpit of the Pres
byterian church last Sabbath evening.
and preached splendid sermon to an
interested congregation.
One of the saddest of the long list of
sad deaths which Seneca has known, is
that of Archie Todd, son of j. w. Todd.
which occurred yesterday, February 10,
at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore.
1t was not known here that he was ill.
though his family had heard that he was
sick with grip. q The news, therefore, of
his death was terrible shock to tho
family and to their friends here. Archie
Todd visited his homefolks here few
months ago and his friends were pleased
10 note what a fire specimen of young
manhood he was developing into. Hand
some, always amiable and courteous. he
was liked by all who knew him. He was,
at the time of his death, studying medi-
cine at Johns Hopkins University and
would have finished next month. That

is forcibly evidenced in this instance.
The body will arrive to- night and the
funeral will occur at 10 O'Clock to-mor-
row at the cemetery, and at $50 there
will be short service at the house. The
sy mpathies of the community and a
host of friends elsewhere are felt for the
stricken father, mother, sisters and
brothers.
About dozen of Seneca's public-spir-
tied women met last Friday afternoon in
the parlors of the Palmetto House. Or
ganization was not perfected, but short
talks were made, in which determine
tion to do something was apparent. Mrs.
e. A. Hines was asked to act as chair
man of the meeting and Mrs. G. v. Nc.
Carey rs secretary. There seemed to be
prevailing sentiment in favor of taking
up the cemetery Improvement for the
especial work of the league at the pres
J ent, the other features to be carried as
side lines. There will be a meeting of
the league at the home of Mrs. G.. ". Nc
Carey next Friday afternoon at 4 O'Clock
for the purpose of appointing commit
tees, harnessing and otherwise equipping
the same for work. Surely with SO wor-
thy and commendable cause our women
will rally and lend their hearty support
to the enterprise.
The Gossipers This delightful and
charming organization has "bobbed up
serenely'' again and is holding weekly
meetings with its membero. On last
Friday afternoon Miss Carrie Hunter en-.
tertained them and the occasion was one
of great pleasure as result Delicious
refreshments were served. We are of
opinion privately that tho name of this
bright little society of Seneca's very best

Barcoot's Carnival is hei, aud there is
evident cosmopolitan element that is
