Kurier-?1, February 20.-Service? at the Baptist church next Sabbath morning and evening. As there will be no ser vices elsewhere, there will doubtless be a large congregation at this church. The hour for prayer meeting at the Presbyterian church has been ohanged to 7.46 o'clock, and is held on Thursday evenings. Our people should bear iu mind the mid-week prayer services at the Baptist ehurch on Wednesday evenings and at the Metbonist oburoh on Tuesday evenings. Rev. W. H. Davis, of Mecklenburg Presbytery, filled the pulpit of the Pres byterian church last Sabbath evening, and preached a splendid sermon to an interested congregation. I One of the saddest of the long list of sad deaths which Seneca has known, is that of Archie Todd, son of J. W. Todd, whioh occurred yesterday, February 10, at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. It was not known here that he was ill, though bis family had heard that he wits I sick with grip, a Thu news, therefore, of his death was a terrible shook to tho family and to their friends here. Arohie ] Todd visited his homefolks here a few months ago and his fiiends were pleased to note what .a fice opeoimen of young manhood he was developing into. Hand some, always amiable and courteous, he was liked by all who knew him. He was, at the time of his death, studying medi oine at Johns Hopkins University and would have finished next month. That) the mouster death "loves a shining mark" is forcibly evidenced in this instance. The body will arrive to-night and the funeral will occur at 10 o'clock to-mor row at the cemetery, and at 0.30 there will be a short service at the house. The sympathies of tile com m uni ty and a host of fi lends elsewhere aro felt for the stricken father, mother, sisters and brothers. . About a dozen of Seneca's public-spir ited women met last Friday afternoon in the pai loi s of the Palmetto House. Or-1 ganization was not perfected, but short) talks wore made, in which a determina tion to do something was apparent. Mrs. E. A. Hines was asked to aot as chair man of the meeting and Mrs. C. V. Mc Carey us secretary. There seemed to be a prevailing sentiment in favor of taking up the cometo y improvement for tho espeoial work of the league at the pres ent, the other features to be oarried as side, Hues. There will bo a meeting of the leaguo at th" homo of Mrs. C. V. Mc Carey next Friday afternoon at 4 o'clook for the purpose of appointing commit tees, harnessing and otherwise equipping the same for work. Surely with so wor thy and commendable a cause out women will rally and lend their hearty support to the enterprise. The Gossipers 1 This delightful and charming organization has "hobbed up serenely" again and is holding weekly meetings with its members. On last Friday afternoon Miss Carrie Hunter en tertained them and the oooasion was one of great pleasure as a result. Delioious refreshments were served. We are of opinion privately that the name of this bright little society of .Seneca's very best is, so to speak, a misnomer 1 Gossipers of the genuine order oould never be as secret in their deliberations as these. We have always regarded the food of gossipors as public prop?, rv I Barooot's Carnival is hoi. and there is svident a cosmopolitan element that ls foreign to our little town.

The oysters were fine and ele gantly prepared, while there were deli cious desserts and cake galore. We bsd a pleasant visit to Walhalla last Sabbath, where we attended divine services at the Presbyterian church. The servioe throughout was delightful, the music being sn.attractive feature. The Walhalla people have a neck of making everybody welcome, whether at their bornes or in the house of Ood. The committee on arrangements for the next meeting of the Library Associa tion, consisting of Prof. Ii. P. Clinksoalos, Mrs. T. E. Stribling nnd Miss Willie Cherry, has completed the literary pro- j gram, whioh is given bolow. The music program will be given in due time, also that of readings, the latter being in charge of our accomplished teacher of expression, Miss Willie Cherry, whioh insures an interesting one. The subjects for discussion are arranged as follows with the names of those who have prom ised to give talks, added : ? 1, "The Clansman," as justifying the methods of reconstruction ; 2, the per petual subordination of the negro the only solution of the race problem ; 8, "The Clansman" aa a novel; 4, the South in the throes of reconstruction; o, the character of Stoneman as compared to that of Lincoln.

Kirkpatrick leaves on Thursday next for a visit to her old home, Davidson College, where her mother still resides. We wish for hor a full measuro of pleasure during her visit. A lot of now books has boon bought for tho library which will greatly en hance the interest of book renders. We heard a oitizen say a few days ago that this was one of the highest toned little towns he ever saw, and ono characterized by unusual intelligence.

Throe nogroe were caught in the store, but two escaped. The names of these two, however, are known. So far as learned, Mr. Moore's loss is compara tively small, and he will in all probability get back all that was stolen. The residence of C. P. Gignilliat was totally destroyed by Are last night. It was ocoupied by Mr. and Mrs. Trimmier, whose household goods and clothing were all destroyed. The residenoe was iusured, but Mr. and Mrs. Trimmier had no insurance on the household goods, and their loss is considerable. The fire canned a great excitement and at one time it was thought a child had been burned to death, but it was later discov ered unharmed. ti. v. 8.
