LOCAL MATTERS FROM SENECA.
Mrs. Adams to iIntcrtain-Annunl
Flower Show.

Seneca, Sept. 27.-ThiS is full
week for Seneca, socially and other
wise.
The big drawing card is OF course
the circus, which comes Thursday,
29th. There will be parade in the
forenoon, and in the afternoon the
show proper will be held on Mrs. e.
p. Lowcry's property southwest OF
town, in the neighborhood Of the
colored institute. This being the
first big show in Seneca for several
years it will doubtless attract an i'm
mense crowd.
The millinery openings are dated
= for Saturday, and this will attract
the feminine heart and mind, here
and from tho neighr oring communi-
ties
The Sunday school institute is in
progress at the Baptist church, the
opening being marked by a rally ser
vice on Sunday morning. There were
many interesting features on the
program, including well-preparcd
music numbers. The singing by the
male quartettc was particularly
good, and it is gratifying to know
that the organization Of this quar-
tettc is a permanent thing. The
members are J. NJ. Vickcry, NJ. E.
Brockman, Wales Lowery and Rev
G.. S. Blackburn
At the Methodist church last Sun
day the pastor announced that Rev

visitor

by Misses Carrie Hunter and Margie

of Importance in connection with the
show
1t is said by the floral committee
Of the association that the mer-
chants as a rule have not responded
to the request made through the
papers some months ago for volun-
tary prizes. We are sure the matter
has escaped the attention Of our bus
mess men, and that all that Is neces-
sary Is a reminder Some Of our
business men, however, have signi-
fed an intention to offer prizes, and
some out-of-town friends have al
ready offered handsome prizes. SO
the good work goes on, though it is
slow The sentiment Of the COM
mittce is repeated here that they do
not wish to make the affair burden
some to our business men, but as it
Is a public enterprise they naturally
look to our public-splrited citizens
for substantial support and enc0ur-
agement
