On last Thursday A. P. Brown
was carried by his physician, DR.. e.

| student at the College for Women

end and the week-beginning in Sem

We call the attention Of our citi-
| zens to the fact that there is a city
ordinance against emptying trash,
ETC., into the streets, and it might
not come amiss to jog the City Coun-
| ellis memory as to this same fact.
The former secretary of the SEN
eca Civic Association has had letters
| from Gainesville, Ga, asking for ex-
plicit directions as to how to organ
ize civic association, which it is
proposed to do there. This Is some
thing in Seneca's favor, that a town
! with Gainesville's wealth, popula-
| ton, schools, ETC., should model her
| civics after one of our modest pro-
portions. And still there are people
| In Seneca who say they do not be-
lieve in civics! =

associated in business with a num-
Der OF our best firms, and his capa-
CITY as business man well fits him
Tor the conduct Of the business.
