day next the Woman's Missionary
Union Of the Beaverdam Association
will meet in the Seneca Baptist
church. The women Of the town are
invited to be present at the exercises
These meetings are full OF interest
and will no doubt draw large audi
ences. Luncheon will be served at
noon and the occasion will be a de-
lightful one in a social sense also.
The attention Of the public is
again called to the next lyceum at
traction. On the 21st instant Dr..
Steele will lecture at the auditorium,
his subject being "Home Life in
Dixie Those who have heard the
lecturer say he Is exceptionally fne
and veterans in reach Of him will do
we'll to make an effort to hear him.
The lecture Is full of humor and pa-
thos and deals with a period which
Is 50 full Of memories to many, and
yet fast slipping away, and of which
the present generation is also pain
fully ignorant. Let everybody hear
Dr.. Steele.
The raising Of the State flag over
the Graded School building on Friday
morning last was attended with
highly interesting exercises. Deyo-
tonal exercises were conducted by
Rev NJ. r. Kirkpatrick at the open-
ing, and the following speakers were
heard: REV. A. E. Driggers, DR., E.
G. Doyle and Rev. G. S. Blackburn
all of them making fine talks upon
themes appropriate to the occasion.
The beautiful flag was stretched
across the rear Of the stage, inspiring
all with full share OF patriotism.
We would like to give the subjects
and outlines Of speeches but for our
limited space. Dr.. Doyle spoke more
at length, his speech showing care
ful preparation, and the splendid eff
tort was highly appreciated by the
large audience. Revs. Driggers and
Blackburn made spicy, interesting
talks, the only possible criticism be-
ing the brevity Of each. At the close
OF the speeches Miss Marett, Of West
minister, gave reading which elected
an encore. She responded with the
old favorite, "The blue hens chick
ems "My Country" and "Carolina"
were sung by the school, and the pu-
pills OF the 1st and I'd grades sang z
song composed for the occasion by
Miss I<ittie Sigh. The pupils and
visitors then reSortcd to the grounds
north Of the building and witnessed
the raising Of the flag, which went up
TO the music OF many yells from pu-
pills and friends who had gathered
to witness the exercises.
Mrs. w. J. Lunncy and Mrs. NJ. A.
Wood attended the Missionary Union
in Greenville last week.
The relay race last Friday after
noon between Westminster and Sen
cca resulted IN hard-earned victory
Tor Westminster. Seneca WAS out en-
maSSe TO witness the close, and a
strong delegation was down from
Westminster. The race was charac-
terized by the very best good humor,
and the Seneca boys say they receiv-
ed the utmost courtesy from their
competitors and citizens of our
ncighbor town The friends of the
Seneca team here were highly graft
ned that our boys ran SO we'll, though
they would have been reioiced over a
victory. Still, considering the fact
that one OF the Seneca team was nm
avoidably absent from town and It
was necessary to use substitute,
they all agree that the race was
highly creditablc.
Thanksgiving services will be held
in the Baptist church this year, and
at % O'Clock. The usual Offering for
the various orphanages will be made.

The meeting at the Methodist

the meeting for a week, doing all the
