pletely filed the bill as the services
on last Sunday, which was known as
young Mons Sunday" There were
services In all the churches at IL
O'Clock Except the EpiscopaD by tho
visiting speakers, whose names were
given last week, viz: Walter B.. ABB
bott, general secretary, Spartanburg
Y. M. G. A.; q. G. Huntington, inter-
state secretary; j. e. johnson, field
secretary. In the afternoon q mems
meeting at the opera house was ad-
dressed by Mr.. Abbott, and his talk
was said to be q splendid effort. At
night union service was held at the
Baptist church, at which each OF
these speakers made snort and inter-
esting addresses. The entire pro-
gram of services was most enjoyable,
and will doubtless result in great
good, the prime purpose of which was
to reach the young men OF the place.

We cannot understand why Ser-
eca's City Council, with it's reputa-
ton for keeping clean and healthy
town, is allowing the filthy practice
OF splitting upon the sidewalks. 1t Is
nauseating to see the effects of the
continuous practice, to say nothing
OF the danger involved. The ventila-
tors, which are used as spittoons by
the expectorating public, are purpose
less, and we arc positively grieved
to see our beautiful paved walks
abused in this manner. This Is all
Seneca lacks being the best kept
town In the up-cOuntry.
James McCarey Is working for Les
lie Stribling at the Seneca Pharmacy.
Your correspondent has heard tell
that one of the missionary societies
Of our town will take up tho work OF
beautifying her church grounds as a
part Of the home work for another
year. We would commend the idea
to our other societies as being wor-
thy of consideration. Let us not neg
lect our churches and their surround
tngs, for 1t has been truly said that
town Is known by it's churches and
schools. The Civic Association will
possibly take up the Improvement OF
the school grounds when the school
house Is finished, and it will be q
pity to witness further neglect of our
church yards
We have been lead to believe that
another year Will bring a wonderful
advance In improvements In Seneca.
A'number OF handsome dwellings will
be built and other improvements will
mark the progress of business here.

terested in the happy event. She is
a granddaughter Of the late Governor
B. F.. Perry, and has made her home
alternately In Greenville and in Italy,
where her mother owns a home. She
Is, therefore, possessed OF a delight
full personality, which comes Of ma
tural charm, enhanced by the highest
educational advantagess and extern
siye travel.

We admonished your readers last

We found while in Atlanta that The
Courier is read there, but last weeks
copy evidestly missed the attention
of one Albanian, as the following in
cident will show: We chanced into
hair-dressing apartment, and was
just looking about when a clipper
young clerk drew out some hair
goods, remarking, "You know gray
hair comes higher" We assured her
Of our knowledge Of the fact, assur~
Ing her also that we possessed few,
and at great cost! can honest con-
fession" sometimes fits, whether It's
good for the soul or not. M.Y.S.
