LOCAL MATTERS ABOUT SENECA.
Library and Civic Associations Are
Busy-Items of Interest.

Seneca, March 16.--Special: A
new firm Is announced this week in
buisenss circles. Bright Lowry has
bought out Hugh Summers interest
in the firm Summer & Holloway, and
the firm will now be known as Lowry
& Holloway.
j. e. Crayton, of Charlotte, spent
several days recently in Seneca.
A. and George Benedict, of Nash
vile, Tenn, formerly of this place,
visited Seneca last week.
Eugene Lewis, of Greenville, paid
business visit to Seneca last week,
remaining over for the big hot sup
per.
The hot supper for the benefit of
Seneca's Library, the promoters of
which were Mesdames w. A. Lowry
and j. W. Stribling, was grand sue
cess in every way. The supper could
not be improved upon, and the pa
being equal to the supply, and as a
delightful one.
A number of the ladies Of the
town served on committees and the
young ladies acted as mattresses.
Fifty dollars was realized, and this,
with other aid, will put the library
where it deserves to be, on a square
footing. Too much praise cannot be
given the capable and painstaking
promoters of the supper and their
efficient assistants.
Seneca's City Council has appro-
priated neat sum TO the library,
which is step in every way worthy
our council. We were confident 1t
would come in due season, and we
are as confidently expecting further
good things from the same source.
Another thoroughly commendable
act last week in connection with the
efforts toward benefiting the library
came from the managers of the SIX At
ing rink. On Friday night the ri X
was opened and advertised as run
ming for the benefit of the library,
SO per cent of the proceeds being
given for that purpose.
The friends Of the library are en-
thusiastic over the fact that lot Of
new books will soon be placed on
its shelves, which will insure an in
crease in membership. They have
not forgotten the fact, too, that the
library Is cozily housed for a years
time at least, the fact being due the
generous courtesy of G. w. Ballen-
ger, Of the Seneca Hardware Co.
Miss Yancey Sligh and Harry
Sligh were in Seneca this week, vis-
iting friends and relatives here.
