ent splendid preservation Of his men,
tai and physical strength. The pro-
gram of music was we'll rendered

Brockman, Westminster; Miss Mar
garet Morrison, Clemson; Miss Susie
Bell, Miss Kittie Sigh, Miss Margie
Holland. We extend in advance a

eca people that the choice Of superin-
| tcndent Is a wise one.
At recent meeting Of the floral
committee of the Civic Association
the following list for the flower show
! was made out. The prize list Is not
yet completed, but your correspond
ent has heard that canvass OF the
| town, to solicit premiums as hitherto
Will not probably be made. Volun-
| tary premiums on the part Of our
business men will. however, be
greatly appreciated, and the commit
tee will watch for the first volunteer
with great interest. Our merchants
and business men know that the an
nual Hover show IS splendid thing
FOR Seneca as an advertisement, and
| on account Of its refining influence
| our people are solid in commending
and ging its continuance, and
we are almost ready to guarantee the
!orthcoming OF splendid premium
list from them. The committee does
not wish to make 1t a burden to the
| business men, but they want TO make
it worth while for flower growers
| and houSc-kecperS to compete. and
1t is readily understood that the rev.
cnue from the flower show will not
guarantee the offer Of expensive
prizes. So let our people rally to
| the needs Of ie occasion and volun-
tccr prizes commensurate with its in
| tercStS.
