Oscar Doyle was in Seneca the past week-end. having come up to visit his parents, Mr. and Mrs. .Jasper Doyle, of Bounty Land. He is a student of the South Carolina University, where he is taking a law cou lise. Miss Stella Fincan non and Mrs. .1. E.

Next Sunday services will he hold in the Baptist church in the interest of homo missions. There will ho throe services-monning, afternoon and night-at. which the pastor, as sisted by Revs. H. M. Fal law, of Westminster, and W. K. Wilkins, or Greenville, will present this depart ment, of church work. It is understood that tho high school will close April 23d. This gives to our patrons only an eight months' school, bivi under existing financial circumstances, it seems that it is the best that can be done at tho present. Hov. I. H. Wallace and W. lt. Rob inson 'have issued a bullet in of Pied mont Presbytery, which is a most at tractive and creditable effort. This paper sets forth the work done by Presbytery in its various depart ments, Including woman's work, and will he issued bi-monthly.

A number of club women and representative citi y.ens will lunch with Mrs. Gary at the Goonoo Inn and afterwards accom pany her to the p loper ty offered for this school. There is another offer which tho committee ls considering, and it behooves Seneca citizens to consider tho matter seriously. be cause a decision will bo shortly made, and it is now or never with us. The local value of this school cannot iv* estimated In dollars.

Seneca is ideal for this school from many standpoints. Climate, accessibility, a splendid na tural environment, all go to make the situation worth tho consideration of our citizens.

Eastern trout, with the Germans slowly with drawing from "tho Niemen toward their own frontier. At the same tline the new offensive against Warsaw and on the Pillea evidently has not yet developed into the great engage ment which has been expected in that locality. Roth the right and lort Hanks of Hie German tones in Northern Ro land have been dislodged. Petrograd dispatches state, from the positions they took up on the advance from Hast Prussia. The Herman right is said to have beaten a hasty retreat to within eight miles of the border. To-day's official report from Her lin, however, says 'the Russian offen sive is being met successfully. Seve ral Russian assaults on the Herman right are said to have been repulsed. A further advance hy the Russian army striking into Turkish Armenia, along the shore of the Black Sea, is announced at Petrograd. H is claimed the Russians have occupied ini|vort ant positions beyond the Tchuruk Uiver throwing back the Turks with heavy losses. In the West the only new feature lately has been the allied air attack on Ostend. In the Champagne re gion, where the French are assuming the offensive, a snowstorm has given a forced rest to the troops. lt it not unwelcome, for they have beer almost constantly engaged for Hu past fortnight.
