On Thursday evening the dosing exer cises of the Graded Sohool will be held in the opera house. A pleasant and in teresting occasion is anticipated, both on account of tho interest which ceuturs in the sohool, and also because it will be the first public affair held in the new hall.

Tho-e is an universal vordiot the Mrs. BaCs has given entiro satisfaction here and the combined sentiment, of the community favors ber return to us in the fall. Affa ble, painstaking, untiring and efficient are qualities which have endeared her not only to the citizens directly inter ested iu ber as music teacher, but to others as well. The success of tho Sunday school pic nic, given at Davis's mill last Saturday, is largely due to the efforts of the eflioieut superintendent, who left nothing undone towards giving tho children a good day. A number of teachers and parents were also instrumental in making the outing the success it was. Mrs. W. J. Lunney left on Monday for a visit of some weeks to her parents, Col. and Mrs. B. E.

Mrs. Car penter rei .u ned to Greenville on Sunday ilte> noon, Mr. Carpenter going to tho mountains on a few days outing. Wo most heartily commend tho thoughtful ingenuity of tho good deacon who on last Sabbath improvised the nur tory at the Presbyterian church. It re minded us of tho good old days when tho infant contingent of every family was naturally included in thu Sunday sorvicos. Was it a kind Providence or tho new ?ity council who saw to the swooping of on sidewalks last Saturday night? lu my ovout it was very noticeable, and tho thanks of tho community go out to whom hey aro duo. Wo had been requested to niuch the council about this very mat cr, and what a relief it is to bo saved .his unpleasant duty. Is it a fact that he business houses aro roquirod to carry .heir sweepings out the back door? If io, it is another commendable step, but hose down our side haven't caught on fOt. Thos. E. Dickson has boon visiting tis family horo this week. "Tho best laid plans of mice or men" tnd that "toothache," according to limns, is truly "the h-1 of all diseases," io doubt oxprosses tin oombined senti nent of a popular young couple last Sabbath.

This was furnished by Miss Lillian Caldwell. Immediately ai r the business meeting a few moments of social intercourse was enjoyed, when luncheon was announced. The arrangement of the parlors of the hotel are admirably adapted to such en tertainments, being connected with sliding doors. These were thrown back and luncheon was announced by tho but ler. The center table, a large one, was used for the officers aud guests of honor, while smaller ones about the room were appropriated by the other members. Polished tables with exquisite hand done pieces and beautiful out flowers made the dainty menu appear to attractive ad vantage. Tho place cards were done by a Seueca artist and were greatly admired by the ladies. The menu was first a salad course, consisting of celery salad, iced tomatoes with salad dressing on let tuce, nasturtium sandwiches and crack ers. Ioed toa accompanied this course, lens and small cakes followed aud olives were used throughout the luncheon.

The dosing exercises of the Seneca In stitute (colored), which were held in the hall of the college building last Wednes day and Thursday evenings, wore dis tinctly creditable and were attended by some of our white citizens as well as large numbers of the colored friends of the school. On Wednesday evening the program consisted of drills, recitations, etc., participated in by tho younger pupils, while on Thursday evening the graduation exercises occurred. A largo mixed class received diplomas, which wore presented by Rev. Osborn, of Bene dict College, who previously delivered an address to the class. Creditable essays were read, wbioh were interspersed with music furnished by the class. The Mayor and Aldermen were present, also the board of trustees of the Seneca Graded Sohool. Mayor Carey was oalled upon and responded in a thoughtful talk. The president, of the institution, J. J. Starks, presided over the exorcises and reflected oredit upon himself and the in stitution. Order was line and the dos ing exercises marked the end of the most successful year the college has known. The alarm of Aro was given last Wed nesday night about ll o'clock, and when it was discovered that tho store room belonging to W. J. Lunney and ocoupied by Seahorn Bros., was the seat of alarm, the heart of every citizen of the town was terror-stricken. Tho fact that the discovery was made at the first no doubt prevented what might have proved a moRt disastrous holocaust. Being in the ven heart of the business block it would have taken heroio measures to provont a wiping out of tho whole business por tion of town. Tho origin of the fire is not known. M. V. S.
