They do not publioly boast of all thia remedy will accomplish, but prefer to let the users make the statements.

The Jenkins bridge was covered both Satur day and Sunday by the high waters. The corn was washed down some, but not so n-i.My but that it can be saved. Tho crops in this immediate neighborhood are looking comparatively well. We have bad plenty of rain and lots of grass, but give us a few warm, sunshiny days and tho farmers will soon be rid of the grass, and then they can lay up their hoes ana plowstocks and take a good rest and eat watermelons, peaches and apples. W. M. Barrett and Walter Harbin have the best-looking upland corn we have seen this Bummer. Miss Hattie Adams returned Sunday to the Westminster Knitting Mill.

Byrd preached twico daily, and wc think wo aro ?ate lu saying that Seneoa has not heard a more forcible, earnest preacher. Mr. Byrd's style is emphatic, his reasoning clear, and his oontrol over large congregations unusual. The writer, lu fact, has never witnessed more perfect attention. A meeting of this kind is bound to result in groat good to tbe community and in a revival of religion among Christian people. On next Sabbath there ?rill be the usual preaobing in th? Baptist church. Tho p"..iter of the Methodist ohuroh was absent Ifl >t Sabbath, attending the distriot coi.terence at Anderson, and there wa?, therefore, no preaching in the Methodist church. Th? d?atii of Fred McCcr?sy, r. fermer Seneca lin . which occurred at a hos pital in St. I .OU?H last Tuesday, the 10th instant, was a peculiarly sad ono and has brought deep sorrow to a large oirole of friends and relatives, beve and elsewhere. The funeral services wore hird last Sab bath afternoon lu the Presbyterian ohuroh, of which ho bad bono a tustfiber for a II umher of years, and wei e attended by a largo gathering of friends. Ho leaves a young wife, having been married last October to Miss Anna Bridges, of Louisiana. Following are tho names of the relatives who attended the sad fune ral rites from a distance: Mr. and Mrs. Benau Harris, Pendleton: Miss Rosa Hudgens, Laurens; John Hudgens, Lau rens; W. K. Hudgens, Pelcer; Mr. Simpson, Elberton; Miss Bridges, Lou isiana. The sympathies of a wide con nection of relativos and friends are felt for the grlef-sti ioken sisters and brothers in their loss pf a devoted, kind brother, the loss being peculiarly sad inasmuch as. they had suffered tho death of their fond parents only a few years previous. Coonee citizens in general and Seneca i tes in particular are anticipating a great time on Tuesday, the Slat of this month, when threo big guns will be heard in Se neoa. It is known that Senator Tillman will speak here, and Hon. J. E. Bogga and Congressman Wyatt Aiken will be pre sent also. It goes without saying that the trio will prove au immense drawing card.

The recoct rains in tho county have made farm work impossible and the I farm <>- s are therefore enabled to be here.

Ruskin Anderson is also slaughtering prices, and is offering to the publio his varied mammoth stook at close figures. Misses Etta Grow and Catherine Ames, who have been visiting Mrs. Luke W.

The other teach ers are: Misses Bessie Peatross, of Vir fdnia; Minnie Kirkpatrick, Margie nol and and Mrs. Wm. Carey, of Seneoa. The selection of a woman prinoipal is a departure from old methods, it having been a rule without exception heretofore to have a man at the head of the schools. The step will doubtless meet with criti cism, but after considering all the condi tions connected with the school work the trustees have deemed the choice the best one, and one wbiob they have made ad visedly. In fact, after looking into the subject carefully, they fouud that a very large per cent of the prinolpals of the gradea schools in Atlanta, Athens and other cities are women, and it is hoped that our people will stand shoulder to shoulder with the trustees and give them credit for doing what they consider the very best thing, under surrounding cir cumstances.
