Now that the versatile, erstwhile
editor of the Farm and Factory has
left, we guess some of the rest of us
will have chance Cat the news). Some
how we've had a sort of "hang dog"
feeling ever since he took up the busi-
ness here, but now the Journal news
gather and onrself for it'll (We amt
bit afraid of him).
Our neighbor and friend, Harry
Carey, is in the mountains this week,
and it's another week of Sundayp!
Miss Anna Harbin is in Seneca again,
after an absence of several months.
The services at the Presby terian
church last Sunday morning were unu-
sually interesting. Rev. Joseph Benz
jamin occupied the pulpit, and while
it required close attention to follow
the speaker intelligently, still those
who did were richly rewarded. Mr..
Benjamin has been In the United
States only nine months, and was
wholly ignorant of the English Ian
guage when he arrived. This being so,
makes his mastery of our miserable
tongue marvellous. The attractive
ness of the service was greatly en-
HANGED by Mrs. James Lowery's sing
ing. She sang the grand old song,
'"The Holy City," which 80 adm irably
her voice, and which never fails to
please.
Rev. Joseph Benjamin lectured in
the Baptist church on Sunday night
The talk was full of interest, and Mr..
Benjamin's "broken English" and or
iginal expressions but added to the
interest.
Miss Carol Herndon's party, on last
Tuesday evening, was charming affair
in honor Of her bright young guests,
Misses Mary Sullivan and Maude
Hammond. The young society set we're
out in full numbers. and delightful
programme of entertainment was fur
nished by the young hostess. Delicious
cream and cake were served.
On Thursday evening surprise party
was held at Mrs. Luke w. Verner's, in
which the older set took part. Not
withstanding the inclement weather,
the attendance was complete, the
beaux furnishing carriages for the
bellies, and the occasion was marked as
being one of the brightest of the sea-
sons gaieties,
Unless Society set No. bestirs it
self, it may expect to be side-tracked
by set No. 2, and that in short order.
The latter has sacrificed everything
(but their energies) in giving the visit
ing girls a good time, and they have
susceeded beyond our widest fancies.
There have been picnics, parties, (sur-
prise and otherwise,) rides, walks,
etcetera, with tennis sandwiching the
whole. Meanwhile the candy and cold
drink man fiourished as a green bay
tree (not forgetting the jeweIry mani.
And it's honk, honk, honkl We
can't tell whether it's Willie Austin's
or st. John Courtenay's beast, we sup
pose on account of ultra cultivation.
