In loving remembrance of Clau- dia Burks-daughter of ]. M. and Hattie Jones, born in Drew Go. t, Ark, March 10th 1897. She join ed the Methodist Church in Aug. Iooo She was married to Mr. G. w. Burks, at her fathers home, March 17th 1902.
 She was taken sick Dec. 3rd and died on the 9th. Her sufferings were short. but intense. Her hope was deeply rooted in God and her faith quailed not at the crossing of the River. Triumphantly she cross ed the swelling Jordan-leaving the testimony behind-when speech had failed, pointing her finger to the land of rest-that "she feared no evil" Claudia was ray of sunshine in this world and will be as a shining angel in the world be- yond. Great is our loss, but won- derful is her gain.
 Rest on precious one, til the trumpet of God shall awake the nations under ground; and the grand assizes past, then as we walk up and down the river of life we will express our joy at having knelt at Gods altar, and vowed eternal allegiance to his name.

ARE YOU ITs

Here, boys, is what you will have
to be if McCall's magazine is right
in regard to the kind of men girls
admire:
They admire the man who is al
ways loving and respectful towards
his parents, and who shows his re-
spect by unfailing courtesy and So
licitude.
They admire the man who al
though witty, is talented, is not
conceited, or if so, he keeps it hid
den; who is not egotistical, and
takes an interest in other peoples
joys and sorrows besides his own.
They admire the man who is q
perfect gentleman-who knows how
a lady should be treated, and never
forgets to offer her his chair, open
the door for her, and the hundred
and-one other little attentions which
a girl so appreciates.
They admire the man who can
keep his temper under control. and
not descend to bad language
should anything happen to dis
please him. A girl is not slow to
recognize various points in a mans
character, and few gain her admira-
ton more than an even temper.
They admire the man who can
understand a hint, and has tact
enough to see when his presence is
undesirable. Tact is essential in
everybody's nature, though few
men possess it in any marked de-
gree.
They admire the man who never
bores them, who always has some
thing fresh to say, or, if not, q new
way of saying old things. Once a
girls interest is thoroughly arous-
ed, man should have no difficulty
in winning her love.
They admire, above all, the man
who is a true friend and a faithful
lover, whose every action speaks of
noble nature, to which the word
"dishonor" is unknown.

Centennial at st. Peters.


st. Peters Evangelical Lutheran
church (Meetze's) during July 3lst,
August 1st and End held services
commemorative of the Centennial
Anniversary of its present location.
These services were intended to cele-
brate not the centennial of it's organ
izstion, but of it's location near the
present site of the church building.
Many able and instructive ad-
dresses were delivered during these
days by ministers OF adjacent pas
torates and on Sunday an able and
inspiring speech by DR.. Cromer, OF
Newberry College, but what the
writer wishes to speak of now is the
eloquent, carefully prepared, enter
tanning and historically valuable ad-
dress on THE History of st. Peters
church" by Maj. H. A. Meetze, him
self long an influential member and
officer of the congregation and long
an honored and useful citizen of
Lexington county.
We shall make no attempt to re-
port this address verbatim, nor
attempt to reproduce the eloquent
and feeling words of the aged and
venerable gentleman when he took a
chair within the altar and began his
remarks. We trust that the address
will be published in full end carefully
preserved among the records of the
church. The large audience heard,
felt and were thrilled. We shall
attempt to give only a few OF the
many facts mentioned, those which
are historically important, in the hope
that We may aid thereby in perpetuat-
ing them in the memory of our peo-
pie.
st. Peters church was incorporated
by act of the legislature in the year
17sS. The act OF incorporation
makes it's first location on Is mile
creek. This was on the ''Ehrhardt
place" and traces of the old building
still remain. Tradition has it that
this church was called "Peter's" from
Peter Ehrhardt, and that it was not
made up of the membership OF st.
Peters church. This is q mistake,
The old church was named st.
Peters and was first located on Is
mile creek, but was some years later
moved near to its present site for the
purpose of placing it in the midst ol
q more populous community, and
also, that it might be not too close tc

The following family names, still
prominent in the county, are found
on the easily church rolls: Meetze,
Caughman, Long, Raucb, Hendrix,
Ehrhardt, Craps, Kyzer, Leitzey,
Calk. Lybrand, Rawl, Geiger, Wyse,
Wingard, Boozer, Seay, Corley,
Gross, Ellison, Frye, Harman, Reeder,
Kelly, Drafts, Roberts, Haltiwanger,
Youngiuer, Roof and from about
1900 Hammer and Franklow. And
the following which are no longer, 80
far as known, in the county: Gort-
man, Lites, Boone and Shuttle.
During the first half of the last
century many members removed to
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi
end their descendent are now numer-
ous, prosperous and respected in
those states. There, whenever prac-
ticable, they formed themselves into
| Lutheran congregations and today
the bulk of the membership of the
Georgia and of the Mississippi
| synods are composed of their descen-
dants.
In 1857 fifteen German congrega-
tions, nine Lutheran and six Reform
ed were organised into an association
known as 'sThe Evangelical Body"
To this association St. Peters belong
ed. Rev. Hockheimer, in it's early
history, probably preached at St.
Peters sometimes. Little is now
known Of him, but it is known that
his widow lived many years after his
death and in very destitute circum-
stances. Zion, Bethel, High Hill,
and St. Peters were early placed in
pastorate. Rev. Winkhouse was
one of the early pastors. The place
of his grave is still known, but 1t is
unmarked and is about two miles
east of Little Mountain in the north
western part of this county. Rev.
Bamberg was pastor certainly OF
Zion and very probably OF this
church, also. Rev. Wallburg was
also one of the early pastors. About
this time Salem church on, Hollow
creek was founded. Very early IN
the last century Rev. Bernhsrdt was
pastor of the church and did a
great work there. He died in the
year 1909. Some of his descendants
now live in the vicinity OF the church.
Rev. Wincard also served this church,
but little is now remembered Of him.
Soon after the formation of the
N. G. Synod, 1908, st. Peters COL:
