A Loss to Lexington.

1t is with deep regret and un-
feigned sorrow we learn that Rev. j
G. Graichep, the beloved pastor OF
St. Stephens Evangelical Lutheran
church in this place, bas decided to
give up his work here in which he
has for the past thirteen years been so
zealously. so earnestly and so sue
cessfully engaged and enter another
field of usefulness in another State.
Mr.. Glaichen has been a faithful
and conscientious ambassador OF
Christ, expounding the truths OF the
Gospel with elcquence and power
that has won for him the respect and
love of every true Christian of every
denomination in the community.
As citizen his walk and conversa-
ton has been such as to exert a
wholesome i1fuence upon the town
and community. Under his precepts
and example the moral and social
tone has been elevated and our citi-
zenship improved.
He delighted in the work of the
Lord and his life has been an epistle
known and read OF all men and under
his ministry there have been seed
sown that will in the years to come
spring up and bring forth fruit to
the honor and glory of God.
In his work of love he has been
ably assisted by his noble and self
sacrificing wife, who has worked
both in and out of season for the up
building of the Masters kingdom.
In all good works she has taken an
active and leading part and many an
undertaking has been carried to a
successful completion by her never
faging and untiring Efforts.
The church will sadly miss their
presence; and our community will
lose earnest and faithful friends.
But wherever they may decide to
locate and in whatever circumstances
in life they may be placed, may the
God Of Abraham, and the God of
Isaac and the God of Jacob lead them
in pleasant places and beside still
waters.

To the Voters of Lexington County.

Fellow Citizens: I feel infinitely
more grateful to you than words can
express, for the splendid vote you
gave me in the late primary election
for the nomination for a seat in the
General Assembly. I appreciate it
the more highly because OF my
triumph over one of the best and
most honorable gentlemen Ct Lex
ipgton county. I will always hold in
high esteem both of my opponents,
DR.. J. L Shuler and Mr.. T. G. Stur-
kie, for the clean and gentlemsnly
canvass WHICH they made from be-
ginning to the end. Whilst [ may not
be able to meet the expectations Ct
my friends in the work of the Legis-
lsture, I will ever stand ready to do
the bidding of my constituents, so
far as I may be able in all matters
that are honorable, just and rig ght
and for the general welfare Of the
entire people.
To those who opposed me in the
race, I recognize most fully their
right to do so in the exercise of their
prerogati7e as voters, and l barbor
no unkind feeling towards them for
so doing. It would be contempta-
Bile in me to be so little. I propose
being the representative of the whole
people in its highest and fullest
sense. Very respectfully,
John Bell Towill.

To the People OF Lexington.

The physical in ability ofmy writing
each of you personal letter of
thanks, makes me take this means OF
showing my sincere appreciation to
the people for their very great kind
ness on the Oath inst.
I do not regard the victory of that
day personal one; it was the coun-
tvs fight, and the triumph was the
county's triumph. The part that [
played in it was only representa-
tive part; and all that I lay claim to
is the fact that I gave to the entire
District clean, square campaign,
such as I knew the people OF Lex
ington wanted me to make.
We assure you that we shall do
our utmost to represent the wishes
of all the people of all the counties.
We make no promises-save this
we will do our very best.
Again thanking you,
I am yours very truly,
A. F. Lever.
