Seuooa, February 24.--Tho graded Behool boro oovored itself iu glory last evening. Nature smiled, affording a perfeot evening. A orowded, enthusi astic house, a aplaudid program, bril liantly executed. Tbs teachers who have lent their time and talent toward the perfeot preparation of the moat at tractive program, deaervo ar 1 are re ceiving most flattering comment upon the auooess of tho entertainment, cele brating tbe birthday of Washington. The program !s given in full below, and we wlah time and apace would allow a I full description of each number. We feel, however, that there aro a few whioh deserve especial mention: The "Flag Drill," participated in by a number of the smaller ohildren, was intricate in do sign, but perfeot in exeoution, in fact, the evolutions wore ao smoothly and perfeotly given that it would have done oredit to muoh older hoads. The minuet, danoed by four couples of older boys and girls, was decidedly the bit of the evening, which faot was strongly evideuood by the vociferous enooro. Master Wales Lowery with Little Miss Ruth Benediot lead perfectly, represent ing George and Lady Washington most gracefully. Tho other oouples, viz., Joe [ Todd with Jeanette Holland, James Mo Cary with Mary Julia Reid, Lowery Ham ilton with Lillian Hopkiua, were all splendid and lent beautiful and graceful assistance to their leaders. The cos tumes wero bright, displaying perfeotly tho style of dreas, not omitting the blonde wiga, whioh made the fashiona of yo oldon time so attraotive. It was a source of regret to her many frienda that the illness of Mias Lutie Jordan pre vented her filling an important part in the program. Our oitizons have boon made rich in good things the past woek. On Friday eveuiug tho school building was again the resort of pleasuro Bookers, tho occa sion being the appearance of the Chicago Schiller Quartet. Of the several lyceum attractions horo, this is conooded to be tho host, not reflecting in the least upon the very excellout onos preoeding. Oue very pertinent faot that cannot fail to impress an audionco is tho porfeot prepa ration shown iu all the programs ren dered by tho lyceum entertainments. Tho matorial boiug excellent, tho train ing the very best, it remains tobo oloarly soon that those splendid shows are just a little beyond the reach of a small place like ours. We mean by that, that it is only through strenuous offort, with per sonal responsibility, that our school management is ablo to procure theso specialties at a cost that is within our roaoh, and our oitizons show thoir appre ciation of this fact by giving tho effort thoir subtantial support. Tho question uppermost in the publie mind now is, when and what will tho noxt bo? Ou Thursday afternoon next at three o'clock a call mooting of South Carolina Presbytery will bo hold in tho Presbyte rian ohuroh hore. Following is a copy of tho card sont out by tho moderator, which explaius tho purport of tho moot ing: The constitutional requirements hav ing boon complied with, a moetiug of South Carolina Presbytery is hereby called to moot in Seneca, S. C., Febru ary 25th, HH)4, at 2 p. m., to transact tho following business: 1. To receivo Ko v. F. D. Thomas from Athens Presbytery. 2. To receive Rev. J. J. Harrell from Mocklouburg Presbytery and to placo in his hands a call from Westminster church and to transact any nocessary business pertaining tboroto. 8. To receive Rev. F. A. Drennon from Peo Doo Presbytery. 4. To allow tho Seneca church to chango terms of pastoral oall. 5. To act upon request of Rev. SV. S. Haunter to dissolve pastoral relation with Townvillo church. lt. L. Rogers, Moderator. It is hoped that oue of tho ministers attending tho Presbytery on Thursday, may bo induced to remain over and con duct services at tho church tho samo evening, it heim; tho time for regular prayer meeting. This afternoon Miss Mary Julia Reid will bo at home to a largo numbor of hor friends, when sho, with thom, will cele brate ber natal day. Tho hours aro from four to six and a most delightful timo is anticipated by all. Delicious refresh ments will be served in roal grown-up style, and as tho little frionds who par ticipated in tho minuet last evening will be presout on costume. A kodak pic ture is ono of tho anticipated features of the pleasant affair. Tho subject sot apart by tho Goueral Assembly for tho mid-week prayer sor vico will bo "prayer for youth in our schools and colleges," which will bo ob served at the Presbyterian church next Thursday ovoniug. Mrs. Clarence Mason and children, of Charlotte, will arrivo in Seneca this afternoon for a visit of several days to Mrs. W. J. Lunnoy. Mrs. D. K. Norris, of Hickory Flat, is visiting Mrs. J. W. Stribling. F. M. Caroy is in Now York city. Miss Sunio Wright, of near Calhoun, Ga.",* is visiting tho family of Mr. J. W. Stribling. Miss Edith Sj nington, of Winston, N. C., will arrivo this wook to bo tho guest of Mrs. Ii. P. Bogga for some timo. Mrs. Hoggs will be pleased to haye her friends call to seo Miss Synington. But say! Did everybody seo how nobly our boys turned out on Friday evening last? Wo wore just as proud to soo it as could be. It is truo thoro woro a few who, for sundry reasons, wero solitary and alone. Some woro beaton to the tank by tho othor fellow; Borne suffered tho miBfortuno to havo a girl on thc sick list, and some gave no excuse. Wo supposo thoy just ain't built that way, but alto gether tho attendance of our boys with their best girls was most flattering indeed ! James Thompson, of Walhalla, was in Seneca Friday evening last and attondod tho lycoum show. Oscar Ashe, of Anderson, was anothor visiting young man to our town Friday evening last. Byrd Wyly, of Richland, attondod tho school ontortainmon thoro last ovening. Dr. E. C. Doylo is at homo again, after an absence, necessitated by tho sitting of tho Legislature. Wo woro most pleased to BOO tho stand tho doctor took on tho Btibjoct of tho dispensary bill. A fow moro such expressions from our staunch oitizons would sot tho peoplo thinking and thereby sot tho ball a-rolling to tho perfect extermination of tho thing in our midst. M. v. s, " Church Notes.
