Excellent Addresses.
A Thoroughly EnjOyablr Occasion.
One that will BE Remembered and
VIII Bring Forth Fruit.

Seneca may justly feel proud. The
town does its citizens credit; its citi-
ZenS are a credit to the town.
1t was our pleasure last Saturday
to spend the day among the good pco-
pie of our sister town, and to mix
and mingle with the people from all
sections Of OCOnoc, who had gather
ed there to the number of about
l 800 to join with the citizens of
Seneca in rejoicing at the completion
OF the new and handsome High
School building which is now almost
ready to receive teachers and pupils.
and in which, in the main, he next
session--broader and wider, higher
and deepcr-will be carried on.
Barring a delayed train, which in
terfered for Il short while with the
charge, there was no hitch nor balli
anywhere to mar the completes plea
sure Of the occasion. The
Handsome New Building
was visited during the morning hours
by many, and we heard no word but
praise for Soneca's enterprise, and
admiration of her commOdious and
handsome school building, a photo
graph OF which, from the original de-
sign, was presented to the readers of

the pulse Of the patient. Both he
and Prof. Hand had, however, felt
the pulse of the patient, he was
sure, and they had diagnosed Sen
eca's case, and not their own condi-
ton. They found their patient do
ing remarkably we'll at present, and
must bend their efforts to Seneca's
future welfare. There must be no
stop at well enough. The building
whose cornerstone had just been
laid was but the beginning point.
Now that the building was ready
the people must stand shoulder to
shoulder and work for the schools
best interests. He stressed the
point of more teachers, better teach
ers and better compensation for
them. The present is big with pos
sibilities and the future will hold
opportunities at every turn. He
warned the people that they must be
ready to grasp opportunity. They
must not be like the young fellow
who was taking long journey in
company with pretty maiden. The
young fellow carried crowbar and
two chickens over one shoulder,
while on the other rested a large ket-
tie, steadied by one hand, in which
was also held a rope by which he
lead a goat. Coming to a deep and
narrow ravine the maiden stopped
and refused to go further. why"
asked the fellow, will you go no
further?' Hesitatingly came the
reply, You might kiss me-" "How
can | kiss you, enCumbered as | am
with this goat, and this kettle, these
chickens and this crowbar?" he ask
ed. "I-l was afraid" replied the
maid, that you might put the chick
ems down and turn the pot over them,
and stick the Crowbar into the
ground and tie the goat to it, and
and-then-kiss me-" Not only
must Seneca keep awake to the op-
portunities that come unbidden, but
she must be ready to lay aside any
remembrance that might prevent her
grasping every opportunity. One of
the greatest needs now is men who
are able and ready to help. THE
