HIS LIFE STORY , i — . James Fisher Was a Good Citizen Within a Few Days He Was to Have Been Made Assistant Pastor of Bluffton M. E. Church. I .Janies Fisher formerly of this cif.y and who died at Bluffton Tuesday evening was one of the mo st popular citizens of that city. The pajiers of that city praise his life in strong terms and tell the story es his life. He was born July 24 1869 in this county and grew to-manhood | here. In his younger days he acquired intemperate habits. Six years ago at Bluffton he was con I vertz-d at a meeting in charge of Rev. S. Light. Since then he has been a most active worker. He j organized a Methodist congregation ■ in Oklahoma, a suburb of Bluffton and so well and faithfully did ho exhort the truths and control) his people that he was able to build a new church, which was finished last May. The Banner says: In all this time Mr. Fisher had never been licensed to preach regularly, but was known as an exhorter. Had he lived until 28th\of this month he would have seen his dearest hopes realized. He would then have received his license and would have been made assistant pastor of the Methoidst church in this city. This was the full in- 1 tention of the official board and a ! man was to be secured only ternporarily to fill the place. With Mrs. Fisher, th j bereaved wife, is the entire sinpyathy of the community. Only Christian forti- ; tude now enables her to bear the J load that has been placed npon > her shoulders. With the husband < cold in death in one room, her little ' < baby Paul fights ft ! : fe in the ail ; adjoining one. This morning the i physician in charge felt there t might possibly be some hope for ’ the buby. Mr. Fish* r’ leaves ] surviving him a wife 'and three < children. Henry, aged'*',''l2; Opal aged 10; [anti Baby Paul, scarcely three. Resolutions. Olive Lodeg No. 86 D.'of R. Decatur.

The dinner was in six courses and before it was half through the ladies began too wish for the end to come.
