Seriously, we would like to know
what the Lights and Water Commits
sion Is doing? We are of the opin-
lon that we were promised lights Eat
least by Xmas" and now, while we
are foundering or cropping, or both,
with our church lights giving out,
and private citizens deferring the
purchase Of kerosene lamps because
of the aforesaid promise, we claim
the privilege OF the above question.

grace. t

We congratulate these good people
upon the step and particularly upon
the expeditions manner in which the
work has been done.
A recent visit to Walhalla disclosed
the fact that while this hustling town
has no civic association, she shows
better kept premises as a whole, than
Seneca. The residences show beau
tifully kept lawns and lavish dis
play Of yard"and pot plants. But It
Is pertinent fact that Seneca, the
mother of civics in Oconee county,
has less Of eye sores than Walhalla,
and there is also less of rubbish
piles, whether this proves anything
or not, we would love to see Wal
halla organize civic association.
News is as scarce as hens teeth.
