| of his new home on Fair Play street. We
understand that there will be others to
follow this soon.
The continued cool weather retards
the grow ~ vegetation and disheartens
our early ,ners.
Mrs. Lloyd TRIMMER is at home again
after a visit of ten days to Atlauta and
Marietta, Ga.
Mrs G. N. Gignilliat is also in Seneca
again after an absence of some weeks,

The civic department of the Once-a-
Week Club has done some good work in

The Seneca Civic Association is also
doing improvements at the cemetery this

felt want in having a we'll there.
Prof. Ii. p. Boggs rendered the stu
dents of his school delightful outing
last Saturday, where they, with bevy
of nretty girls, picnicked at cold springs.
A party of thirteen went in buggies to
this delightful resort, few miles above
town and enjoyed a jolly good time not
withstanding the number of casualties
incident upon the unlucky number which
constituted the party. Those who at
tended we're: Madames 81. p. Boggs and
81. j. .Gignilliat, Prof. II. p. Boggs,
Misses Lois and Norma Gignilliat, Helen
Hopkins and Ira Brown, Messrs. julius
Edwards, Wales Lowry, Ted Dickson,
Edward Mourry and Master William

The Once Week Club was delight
fully entertained by Mrs. j. Fl. Adams
last Thursday. A unique plan # enter
tainment was provided by the hostess, in
which the members and guests were re-
quired to play 'going to school," Ques-
tions were given by the hostess upon
slips of paper rangiug all the way from
the primary department through the
collegiate course, only few for each de-
psrtment, however, and lively contest
ensued. Mrs. Elias Earle received the
prize, she having answered correctly all
of the questions. Delicious refreshments
were served and q charming affair is in
the memory of all who were so fortunate
as to be present.
| We 2ould suggest to the Sunday
school superintendents or the good off,
GERS who have charge of the music in
our Sunday schools, that they read over
the words of the little songs they teach
the children from time to time, so that
they will catch them and understand, not
only the words, but the sentiment of the
songs. For instance, one dear little
creature was heard to sing few days
ago, "Jesus, Pm a rockin' in weary
land" which is but sample of the
many beautiful songs which are thus
perverted by these innocent little ones.
Upon demonstrating with the aforesaid
little offender we were told that "that is
the way Mr.. D. sings itp'
1t is thought that number of our citi-
, Hens will attend the sitting of the Gene.
raj Assembly in Greenville in May. This
is an opportunity to see this body, which
probably is one of the finest religious
gatherings in the world. The august
and dignified deliberations of the body
are impressive to a degree, while among
the members composing it are found
some of the most scholarly men of this
or any other country, including not only
the very best of the ministerial profes.
sion, but men who occupy high social
and political position, including men,
bers, United States Senators, Governors
of States, etc.
Beginning May the third the manage
ment of the Opera House here has se-
cured the Three Pickerts, who with a
strong company of twelve members will
open three nights engagement here.
The company has played weeks en-
gagement in Anderson and Greenville
and comes highly recommended by these
cities. The public enjoyed the Hollings-
worth-Twins for week and considering
the size of the town, the attendance was
good throughout the week. The Three
Pickerts is said to be stronger company
and will doubtless draw good houses.
GRAY-CHERRY.
A beautiful homo wedding occurred
Thursday at high noon, when Mr.. and
Mrs. S. d. Cherry gave in marriage their
daughter, Mary Bates, to John Louis
Gray, of Anderson. On account of the
prominence of the two families the in
terest of large circle of friends
throughout this and other States CEN
tered in the happy event, which culmi-
mated in the lifelong friendship of the
popular young couple.
The entire lower floor was given over
to the accommodation of the large mum.
