Social Functions-Iocals.

meeting Of the Chamber Of Com
merce last Wednesday night plans
were made, which, if matured. will
bring the biggest thing TO Seneca
which possibly has ever been pulled
Off in the county. 1t was decided
to have the Farmers Chautauqua
July 22-25, inclusive. This will
bring prominent speakers from
distance, who will discuss various
phases OF farm work, not neglecting
that OF the farmers wife, as it is te-
termined to have women in charge
of the domestic science department,
giving instruction in the arts of
cooking, homc-making, canning, etc.
The meeting will run through Sun
day, when a program suited to the
occasion will be given. 1t is hoped
that our citizens will make a strong
pull together in this move and make
the chautauqua the biggest thing vet
for Seneca and the county.
