We understand that one of the 1 requirements of the free rural mail delivery route, which is scheduled to ' leave this place daily, mention of i which was made in these columns r last week, is that the people along the route ar6 to put up an uniform , system of the mail boxes, approved . by the post office department. There are several manufacturers of these . boxes, who have furnished samples of their style, which have arrived and will be exhibited at a meeting of the citizens of the section through which the route passes, which is to be held in the court house in this .place on Thursday, the 18ih inst., at 3 o'clock p. m. Those who are at the head of this movement, earnestly request the presence of every one who is interested in the successful working of this route to be present, so thai the style and size of the box which is to be used can be agreed upon, as the matter will be left entirely to the choice of those interested, amujjrity vote on which will dertermine the selection of the box. It is under> stood of course, that these boxes are ' to be paid for by those U6iDg them as the government does not furn sb boxes free. 1 Where more than one family find it convenient they are permitted to I club togitber purchase a box and use it jointly. I Tnis is a matter that should con cern every one who expect to receive the benefits of a daily rural nail * delivery along this route and they should certainly show that interest 3 by being present at the meeting on . the 18.h 60 that the plans can be 3 satisfactorily agreed upon and ;he . experimen t started cff without fric . tion. 7 ?

"Scraps of History." CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE teresting occasion were Godfrey Dreber, Jacob Moeer, Michael Riuch and J. D. Frank low of Lexington and Mr. Hershell of Oangeburg. Mr. Meetze lived amoDg a German speaking people and preached mostly if not entirely in the German language. Probably the hrst minister, certainly the-firs* Lutheran minister. who preached in English in the Fork was Godfrey Dreher. Among the contemporaries of the subject of this piper was one of his earlier friends (vho was probably a companion of his youth in the "Fatherland'1) Valentine Gable who had escaped from the Hessian camp. Mr. Gable was for a time among the leaders of the choir at Zion church aud sang in German in unison with the preach ing of his friend. His descendants are still with ue. Yost Meetze was quaint and original in his manners, aud some of his peculiarities would b9 called blemishes iu one of his cloth in our day. The customs and habits of the people were entirely different from those to which we are now accustomed, aud moderate indulgence in the use of intoxicating dririks was not thought harmful. He took his morning "dram1' when he wished, though always temperate and never indulging to excess. A proposition came to him from a Temperance organization in New England to become a life member by the payment of a fee of twenty dollars. He laughingly re marked that this amount of money would buy him whiskey enough to last him all the rest of his life. It was a favorable opportunity to say "a good thing" and he did not let it pasp, though his whole life proved that he was ready for every good work and he doubtless sympathised with everv rffjrt to suppress the baneful use of ardent spirits. The vissitudes of his eventful life fitted him-peculiarly for the ei. j iy- I ment of the sweets of liberty, filled his soul with an ardent love for his adopted country, and his pitriotic spirit was a part of the inheritance of bis posterity. Four of his graod sons were gallant cfficers in the Confederate army, while two of his great grand sons, also officers, died on the field of battle. Many other of his descendants rendered faithful and efficient service in the ranks and are among the unnamed heroes. Forty or more crops were grown on their farm by this excellent couple before the close cf their lives, and the spare moments and rainy days were devoted to other duties. While the husband was engaged iD making wagon whips and split bottom chairs and other useful articles which were readily and profitably sold in the markets, the thrifty wife was busy with her wheel and her loom providing for the comforts of her children. Mr. Meetze lived until the 7th day of May, 1832, and the loving companion of bis joy 3 and his sorrows who survived him, reached the end of her useful life nearly seven years later, the 16 h of April, 1S39 Ir, is interesting to note that if Mrs. Meetz9 bad lived ten days longer she would have attained precisely the age reached by her husband at his death. They were the parents of nine children. John, the oldest, who was the first marr?hftnt. at I*j?xinpfcon C H. (and the father of Hou. Henry A. Meetze, who has himself earned the right to a fair page in his county's history,) married Anna., a daughter of Christopher Ctughm&n. Jacob, long a successful merchant at Blackville, never married. Felix married a lady from Charleston. H9Dry married Ctroline Dreher, and lived at the old homestead and raised a large and interesting family. Margeret was married to a Mr. Hendrix, who moved west. Nincy was married to James Graham of Newberry. Catherine married Emanuel Corley and Elizibeth was married to Col. West Caugbman, long one of tbe first men of the county, of whom it is hoped more will be written hereafter. EJwin J. S^ott, author of Recollections of a Long Life, became the husband of Rebecca.* All of these left children (xcept Jacob. Their lineal descendants number about 200, while the entire family connection is very much larger. Among the prominent families who have come down from the honored couple of whom we write are the Meetzes, Caugkaiaus, Corleys, Harinaus, Hendrixs, Drebers, Eerleye and others of whom the writer is not informed. Very many of the best people of this county, as well as of other counties and even other States, proudly trace their Hneaae back to the homeless, wander'og German lad who carved out his d< stiny alone in a strange land, and left theimpressof his life and his lofty character oa the peopie of Lis adopted country. It is not told that the sorrowing parents in the ''old home" ever learned of tbe prosperity of their exile boy. If they could have peared with their anxious eves into tbe distant future and been witnesses of the joys and comforts in bis happy home, and of the labors of his long and useful and honored life, and could have heard ihe acclaims of the hundieds who were to "rise up and call him blessed," their pathway through life would have been smoother and they would have gone down to their graves rejoicing rather than sorrowing. The hope is left us that they are reunited on "the other side." "Lives of gre\t men all remind us We may make our lives sublime, Ami. departing Jeave behind us, Footprints on the sands of time." W.
