M?BS Peat ross bas taught in Seneca two years and is deservedly popular, both as a teaoher and in society and ohuroh circles.

Carey has sold his residence in Seneca and bas bought tho farm near [!. West Union, known as tho Gregg placo. We hope this faot will not necessitato his removal from Seneca, as sho can ill afford the loss of such good people. Misses Minnis and Ethel Kirkpatrick aro at Davidson College, whoro thoy will attend oommoncement. From there Miss Minnis will visit other points before re turning to Seneca. Mrs. J. W.

Peachtree folks, who have for so long thought they were the only pebbles, will please take a rear seat. Other folks are going to have tiled walks and big col umns-in fact, we are told that after a little the former are going to let most anybody (in Seneca) walk on 'om. Fifth avenue bas one already, and others to | follow ! Dr. J. H. Burgess, who baa been oon nected with the Seneca Journal as busi ness manager, has withdrawn from the same and wi)l now devote himself to bis office work. The executive committee of the Li brary Association have announoed that applicants for librarian must be sent iu before the first of July, as none will be reoeived after that date. The uew street lamp, which bas been ] plac d in front of the Baptist church, fills a long-felt want and will prove a big convenience to travelers in that pnrt of town. Alex.

Sligb and children are vin- j iting rolatives at Madison. Mrs. Lnko W. Vernor was at home to I a Beloc', few of her friends ^>u last Friday evening. Rugs and easy chair/? made tho | poroh a charming and inviting spot, whore the guests were atertained. A literary congest held the attention of the compauy during the early part of the ovening, after which delicious oream and I oake were served. The prize in the con test was awarded Mrs. Wm. Neill. Seneca and vicinity were visited by | good rains on Sunday and gardens and crops greatly refreshed thereby. Miss Margie Holland, the popular teacher of the first grade, gave her pu pils a deMghtful picnic at Happy Hollow on last TuoBday. Misses Pearl and Grace Vernor and Master Edward Vernor visited in Seneca | Saturday and Sunday laut. Inasmuch as the recent unpleasant! stunt wbich was perpetrated by unnamed persons on an innocent community has j proven such a dash, we agree with tho editor of tho Journal that there are pro bably some guilty consciences in Soneoa, and there aro no doubt a few who would liko to "prove au alibi." That Seneca is to have electric lights in tho near future is bringing joy to ovory citizen in tho place. Not only as long felt want, but as a sure sign of progress, tho recent election on tho question deciding affirmatively an issuo of long standing. Miss Cathorlno Wall was hostess to a numbor of her friends last evening, the occasion being ono of characteristic charm. M. v. s. My, Best Friend.
