At the congregational meeting
of st. Johns Lutheran church last
Sunday a call was extended to Rev.
T. b. Epting, Of Sumter. 1t is
thought that Rev. Mr.. Epting will
accept. He is prominent minister
Of the South Carolina Synod, and the
church is very desirous of securing
him. The services hereafter at the
Lutheran church will be English ex-
cluSively, except when German min
listers can be secured by special ar
rangements. The membership has
become so uniformly English that all
are familiar with the language, un-
derstanding it equally as well as the
German, while but few of the men,
bers can participate intelligently in
the German service. The change
| from alternate German and English
services to English entirely. it is
hoped, will have the effect Of reviv-
ing the membership and building up
the church in every way. Rev. Mr..
iipting, If he accepts the call to St.
Johns, will be most heartily vel
coined to our midst

above the Lutheran church. His cot
tage has been moved back on his lot
and he has begun the erection Of a
twO-stOry dwelling, his former house
to be used as an ell to the new one
Otto Kaufman has the contract for
moving the old house and building
the new one. The old cottage was
one Of the first buildings put up
here by the early settlers sc years
ago. DR.. Thode anticipated having
to renew some Of the sills of the old
buildi. G. as they rested directly on
the ground. When the work was
begun, however, 1t was found that
the sills were as sound as one of
Billy Bryan's siXteen-to-one silver
dollars, and will last longer now than
any new sills that could be gotten
They were hewn out of solid heart
timber Sc years ago by Conrad
| Brandt, father of II. Louis Brandt,
now residing in Walhalla. Conrad
Brandt was one OF the first settlers
Of Walhalla, and did much OF the
building for his comrades. Each of
these old buildings stands to-day as
a monument to its builder, and when
one Is torn down 1t is always found
that the material, old as 1t is, cannot
now be duplicated. Similar timber
simply does not now get on the mar
ket.
