Seneca, Feb. 2.---Special: On next
Friday evening, at the home of DR..
T.. A. Hines, there will be an import
ant meeting of the Seneca Library
Association at 8 o'clock. A program
Of music, interspersed with literary
talks, is being prepared, and the pub
lie is Invited to be present. If there
Is one thing in Seneca which should
appeal to her citizens more than any
thing else, next to our churches, 1t Is
possibly our library. In rank with
our churches its influence for good
would undoubtedly come next. While
we find 1t hard to decide whether the
library or Civic Association should
hold second place, If indeed a decis-
ion is necessary, particularly when
we are reminded upon good author
ity that Cleanliness Is next to God
liness." still we are inclined toward
the opinion that we should foster q
library as being the thing of lasting
and salutary influence, and we there
fore urge full and enthusiastic
meeting of citizens on next Friday
evening.

Trowbrldge's Orchestra, of Ander-

treat in itself, and which was
heartily enjoyed by the spectators as
we'll as by the dancers. The pro-
gram was delightfully."- varied, the
numbers showing the latest and most
popular selections. There were num-
bers Of charming bellies from neigh
boring towns, and also a goodly num-
ber of stays. The Seneca boys show
ed most hospitable spirit, giving
way to the visitors, and showing
them every CT urtesy. There being a
large majority of men, this was the
proper thing t, do, and 1t was done
gracefully. II is fact also afforded
the young lad es a variety of part
ners, which also added to the spice
of the occasion. The german was
danced, and was easily led by Sem
eca's veteran floor manager, DR.. w.
r. Doyle, who, with the assistance Of
number of the fair bellies, intro
duced many beautiful and intricate
figures. The hall was attractively
decorated in the club colors and
