How to Cure a Cold. The question of how to cure a cold without unnecessary loss of time is one in which we are all more or less interested, for the quicker a cold is gotten rid of the less the danger of ppneumonla and other serious dis eases.

Alexander spent Monday In walhalla. Mrs. O. W. Gardner, of Greenwood, spent last Thrusday afternoon In Seneca. We understand that the telephone question is "in soak." We suppose the lights and water question is like wise so, in fact we believe this an easy and comfortable disposition to make of these knotty problems. Miss Mattie Bligh, of Red Hill, Ga., is visiting her sister, Miss Kittie Sllgb, here. The latter will accom pany the former home on Friday ! next, remaining over Sunday.

Seriously, we would like to know what the Lights' and 'Vater Commis sion is doing? We are of the opin ion that we were promised lights "at least by Xmas," and now, while we are floundering or groping, or both, with our church lights giving out, < and private cltltens deferring the purchase of kerosene lamps because ot the aforesaid promise,, we olalm the privilege of the above question. i Our merchants claim that last Sat urday was the best business day this season.

The chairmen of Sections one and three of the Civic Association will bear in mind the fact that with this month begins their turn at work on the park.

A full attendance is urged, as there are matters of Importance to come before the committee. The Baptist denomination havo purchased a lot from J. C. Carey, on Townvllle street, and will begin the erection at once of the parsonage. We congratulate these good people upon the step and particularly upon the expeditious manner in which the work has been done. A recent visit to Walhalla disclosed the fact that while this hustling town has no civic association, she shows better kept premises as a whole, than Seneca. The residences show beau tifully kept lawns and a lavish dis play of yard'and pot plants. But lt ls a pertinent fact that Seneca, the mother of civics In Oconee county, has less of eye sores than Walhalla, and there is also less of rubbish piles, whether this proves anything or not, we would love to see Wal halla organize a civio association.
