cess-Local News.

Seneca, March 18.-Special: The
art exhibit held at the school last
week was a pronounced success. The
bad weather prevented the attend
ance being as full as it would have
been, but notwithstanding this our
people attended the evening exhibit
ton and the entertainments con-
nected Herewith. Few of us real
lied what the exhibit meant until we
saw 1t. There were two hundred
pictures, of various sizes, but the
o of them were large copies.
Many OF them were reproductions Of
splendid specimens from famous au-
thors. The influence of these upon
our school children, and indeed upon
our people, cannot be reckoned, and
Supt. Bramlett is to be congratulated
upon the success of the undertakings.
1t was a big thing, and friends Of the
school will long remember picture
week" Attractive entertainments
were planned for each evening, but
on Thursday night the pouring rain
prevented the attendance of any. On
Friday night disappointment again
met u people when it was learned
that two OF the singers, Mesdames
Lowry and Hamilton, were sick and
could not attend. The splendid vo-
cal numbers to have been rendered
by these popular singers, consisting
OF Golos, duets and quarettes, had to
be omitted. The program was, there
fore, confined to the remaining as
Sistants, Misses Mary Julia Reid and
Verna Stribling and Mrs. Roy Brea-
Zeale. These braved the situation.
and were heartily received by the
audience. On Saturday night the
program was turned over to the
school, and was varied and delight
ful. 1t Is gratifying to note that
several friends of the school pre-
scented handsome, pictures, and the
proceeds, together with the money
coming from the combined efforts of
the pupils, will enable the school to
W a number of attractive pictures.
w want to add further that the as
sistant teachers of the school are to

did attainment.
