thing said here, which may sound so,
1t is done merely to impress truth.
1t Is this correspondent opinion
that a newspaper controversy rarely,
If ever, does any good, so, as we have
said before, "you cannot teach an old
dog new tricks and we decline to
say anything further upon the news
paper attacks made upon the Seneca
school and track team by the young
correspondent from Richland. He
writes beautifully, and we hope he
will always have the backing" of the
good people Of Richland in every
thing he says. In reading his last
we thought it savored somewhat Of
"the hand Of Esau and the voice Of
Jacob" flavor, but that fact only
added to its interest to the "staid"
correspondent from Seneca. We guess
Seneca and her affairs will manage
to rock along somehow.

turned to her home at Marietta, Ga,

Mr.. and Mrs. w. p. Nimmons
served an elegant course dinner to
the teachers Of the school and the
trustees and their wives last Wednes-
day evening. The occasion was
beautiful compliment to the school,
and the appointments expressed this
fact In every detail Of arrangement.
The school colors, purple and gold,
were seen in the decorations. The
place cards partook Of the spirit Of
the date (Valentine's) and were
dainty heart-shaped affairs, done in
gilt with a cluster of violets. The
elegant menu was served faultlessly.
and the breath OF spring found in
the bowls Of gorgeous jonquils which
adorned the tables, was a delightful
and pleasing contrast to the stormy
weather without. The occasion was
one Of great pleasure to the number
Of friends included in the generous
invitation
