[Children's Viaitor.l We wonder how many of our young Toadeis know that ours is the only great nation in the world whoae ohief ruler is sues a proclamation every year calling upon tho people to gather in their places of worship to give thauks to Qod for his manifold blessings. It seems to us that one of the very first things for whioh we ought to render thanksgiviug is that we aro privileged to live in a couutry in whioh the gospel is preached and God is honored. Hut thore . are many others that we Bhould not forget. We are at peace with all the world. And what won derful prosperity in material things God is showering upon us! In intellectual and spiritual wealth also we aro increas ing all tho time. Our schools and churches are growing aa uever before. Surely, if evor a people bad reason for gratitude, we who live in this land of freedom and opportunity have. Think of all this, and make Thanksgiving day s day of the real giving of thanks. The more grateful we are, the moro joy we ehall have in our blessings. The selfish, ungrateful heart cannot be truly happy. We should not be con toot, however, to express our grati tude in words only. Once in the history of Israel there was a great day when the people were permitted to hear Ezra read God's law, whioh they had not heard for a long time, because they bad had no stated worship. Ezra wanted to make the day a kind of thanksgiviug day. So lie said to them after the service was over: "Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions to him for whom nothing ?B prepared, for this day is holy unto the Lord; neither be ye grieved, for the joy of the Lord IB your strongth.", Suppose we take this exhortation as a motto for Thanksgiving day, not forgetting about "sending por tions to him for whom nothiug is pro pared." -. ? LINGERING COLO Withstood Other Treatment, But Quickly | Cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. "Last wiuter I caught a very sevore cold which liugered for weeks," Hay? J. Urquhart, of Zephyr, Ontario. "My cough wa? very dry and harsh. The loonl dealer recommended Chamberlain'? Cough Remedy and guaranteed it, HO I gave it a trial. One small bottle of it cured mo.

An effort has been made to make the services as at tract! ve as possiblo, and it is boped that a large congregation will bo present. The following program of muslo has been arranged: Prelude, Andante, (Schu bert), Mrs. T. M. Mccutcheon, violin; Miss Carrie Hunter, organ; voluntary. Sing unto the Lord, mixed quartette; offertory, Qently, Lord, arranged from Menin' Slumber Song, Mrs? T. E. Strip ling, soprano, Mrs. T. M. MoCutohen, violin obligato. Rev. J. A. Campbell, of London, Eng., is visiting the family of Rev. C.. 8, Black burn. Mr. Campbell assisted in the ser vicos at the Baptist church last Sabbath evening, and it is hoped by our cburch going people that they will be able to hear bim frequently during his stay here. The c?'v train on the Southern, run ning daily between Toccoa and Char lotte, whioh we term "The Bell," made a prompt appearance Monday morning and will prove ai delightful oonvenienoe to our citizens. Already our ladies are planning shopping tours up the road, a number of whom will take in the Christ mas sights at Greenville next week. The election set for the water and lights question comos off to-day. An unusual degree of interest is manifest, and we confidently predict that Seneca will be in line with the other progressive towus about hero in her signs of pro gress. At a meeting of the oitizens of Senoca last Friday evening initiative steps were taken toward making Seneca the termi nal point for the new train, and also of the "Bell," running from Toccoa to At lanta. The following committee was ap pointed to see the railroad offloials and present the quent ion : Mayor W. F. Aus tin, J. H. Adams and C. H. Ellison. The Board of Publio Works was also ap pointed, consisting of Mayor Austin, J. W. Byrd, L. A. Edwards. A petition was passed through the business pnrtflof town last week asking that the stores and other business bouses be closed for Thanksgiving, whioh waa readily signed. This tact should have been given our readers last week, but the committee failed to post your corres pondent on the facts. Rev. and Mrs. O. M. Abney are absent this week upon the meeting of the South Carolina Methodist Conference. Mrs. C. S. Blackburn, who has boon visiting bor relatives in Columbia and other points in tho State, returned to her borne here last week. Eugene Lewis and Butler HolmoB, two of Seneca's "oldeBt and best," visited their friends hore last Sabbath. Even this minute, as your correspond ent writes, wedding bolls aro riuging in Soneoa and Madam Rumor toi 1? her that "Still there's more to follow." The oyster supper for the benefit of the library fund was a nice BUCCOSS, a neat sum with which to purchase new bookB being realized. J. T. Lawrence's new res i don co is going up rapidly, and when completed will bo one of the most attractive cot tage homes in Seneca. J. E. Sitton has moved into his new house near the Mothodist church. A colored show, which was black from A to izzard, was the center of attraction to the colored population boro yester day. To-morrow MaoDonald brothers' Shows is booked for Soneca. The bills show a performance of somo magnitude, including animals and trained horses. A number of salos in real estate were made hero last week, showing the con tinu?e1 progressive spirit of tho town. Following are some of thechaugos made: Mrs. M. E. Sligh, residence on North First street, to Dr. J. H. Burgess; F. S. Holieman, residence on Fair Play street, to W. H. Cary. Mr. Heiland and family aro occupying the house on Fair Play Street recently vacated by J. E. Sitton. W. A. Holland is with his family hero for Thanksgiving. Mr. and Mrs H. J.

Seneca is to have another newspaper, arrangements having bcon rocently per fected for tho establishment of a weekly newspaper, to bo known as tho Seneca Journal, which will be published by ibo Seneca Publishing Company, which is io be Incorporated. W. A. Gardner, of Florida, will bo tho editor, and W. E. Neilson, also of Florida, foreman, and it is evident from tho unusual interest manifested that Seneca has determined upon making tho enterprise a success. Indeed our business mon havo awakened to a realization of tho fact that a good newspaper is a necessity to tho growth of a town, and tho company above men tioned is tho direct outcome of that spirit. The managers are in Allanta now buying machinery, and tho first copy will bo issued early in December. A C?ABMINQ AFFAIR. Miss Inez Dickson was hostess on last Friday evoning to the Gossipers, the meeting being devoted to tho Linen Shower which was tondored by tho mem bers to ono of their number, Miss Fannie Lowery. Tho easiest informality char acterized tho affair, which was in ovory lotail beautifully planned and perfectly Bxecutcd. Tho club colors-rod and white-wero in evidonco overywhoro, tho decorations being red carnations and IN b 11 e chrysanthemums; which woro usod n tho parlor and dining room, the two ipartmonts being thrown together. A .on tent, delightfully suggestive of the oe .IM on, was called a Romance of Hoses, in which was intorwovon tho romance of ,wo lovers whose names woro taken from he catalogue of roses, tho names them IOIVCS being supplied by tho contestants, ['he white folders, containing the ro niano??, w?re tied with red cordi, from which depended tiny rod pencils, the covers bearing pen drawings of wild rosoH. The plise, an elegant bouquet of meteor roses, went to Miss Sue Thomp son, wbo graciously presented them to the bride-elect. Oeliolous refreshments, in which the color soborne prevailed, fol lowed, after whicm the members literally showered their fnir honoree with every thing imaginable iu dainty finger work. Miss Lowory uevnr appeared fairer than ou this bright occasion, wbeu she wore a handsome brown suit with oream trim mings, with hat to match. i.ow i-:itv- Mooni:. This af tm noon at 3 o'clock, at the home of the bride's parents, Miss Fanuie Louise Lowery will be married to Rev. J. R. Moore, of Westminster. The wed ding will bo a very quiet affair, with only the family and a few friends present. The bride, as Miss Fannie Lowery, haa been one of the most admired of .Seneca's ?oung women, numbering her friends by er acquaintances, and being possessed of those admirable qualities of heart and I mind, coupled with a obarming person i aiity which bave made her always the attractive center of an admiring cit?le of friends and the gem of a large family o' loved ones. Mr. Moore is the pastor of the Westminster Baptist church and is a young man of the brightest promise of usefulness, and oue fully worthy the hand of the young woman of his choice. The bride wears ber going-away gown to be married in, a handsome cloth tailor snit of Hob brown, with hat to match. The presents are numerous and beauti ful, attesting silently the undoubted popularity of the young couple. May heaven's choicest blessings attend them through a long life of happiness. The ceremony will be performed by the bride's pastor, Rev. S. C. Blaokburn, the wedding maroh being in the skilful hands of Mrs. Carl B. Smith. Immedi ately after the ceremony the young couple will board the Southern vestibule train for Spartanburg, where they will attend the Baptist Convention, after which they will visit Mr. Moore's rela tions in North Carolina. M. V. 8. Later-On the question of issuing $30,000 worth of bonds for water and lights, the election was practically unani mous favoring the s? me. Biliousness and Constipation. For years I was troubled with bilious ness and constipation, whioh made life miserable for me. My appetite failed rae. I lost my usual force and vitality. Pep sin preparations and cathartics only made matters worse. I do not know where I would have been to-day bad I not tried Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablet?. The tablets relieve the ill feeling at once, strengthen the diges tive innot ions, helping the system to do it? work naturally.-Mrs. Rosa Potts, Birmingham, Ala. These tablets are for sale by Dr. J. W. Boll, Walhalla; W. J. Lunney, Seneca. Wolf in Greenville. Greenville, Nov. 23.-Quite a panic was oroated on the streets here yesterday afternoon when a large prairie wolf, whioh has been confined in the city by a dog chain for nearly a year, broko loose and ran at large for some time. A num ber of people were attacked by the ani mal, and their clothing torn. Late in the afternoon little Luthur Rogers, a 12 year old white lad, was attacked by the wolf and the child's leg badly lacerated. A negro blacksmith was attracted by the child's screams, ran to tho scone and stunned the wolf by a blow from his fist, stamping the animal to doath. Tho wolf was brought here about a year ago from the West and bas been considered tame. The fact that it at tacked everybody it came in coutact with has given rise to the opinion that it suffered from the rabies and the head has been forwarded to the Pasteur Insti tute, in Atlanta, for examination. If that opinion is found to be true the child will be sent to Atlanta at once. A Methodist Minister Recommends Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. We have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in our home for seven years, and it has always proved to be a reliable roinedy. We have found that it would do more than the manufacturers claim for it. It is especially good for croup and whooping cough, Rev. Jamos A. Lewis, Pastor Milaca, Minn., M. K. Church. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is sold by J. W. Bell, Walhalla; W. J. Lunnoy, Seneca.
