Of Bishop and former Confederate

Lee. 1t reads:
Another leading figure of the great
war of the sixties has passed to his
reward. His love for military life
came down to him from his grand
father, who was captain in the ia
nous command of Marion, the Swamp
Fox, of South Carolina.
He was actuated by the loftiest
ideals, and whether in the forefront
of battle OF in the sacred Office of his
church, he gave the best service that
he was capable of. His death has re-
moved a most conspicuous representa-
tive of the South, and his church, his
people and the country at large have
lost a most worthy representative

! Yes, he is known as Drunken jim"
All the country round about;
Time was. men raised their hats to him
Aud greeted him with cheer and
shout.
( He was once the village boast,
When they sent the boy to town;
s He's been given many a toast;
Now he's given many froWn.
Remember the class of 1882
Well, / rather think I do.
. jim was then so tall and straight
A thorough scholar, through and
Through.
His was the very highest part
On that glad Commencement day;
Held won that honor from the start;
His mind was logical, they say.
! Then he was to the State House sent,
Where they make the laws for us:
Tt was said, 'sHe never lent
His ear to bribery, theft. or fuss"
So wel felt a sort of pride
In his record year by year,
Then he came to claim his bride,
Angie, Parson Goodman's dear.
Next we heard of a mansion grand,
Waere they entertained in state,
And we felt, throughout the land,
Angie could find no filter mate.
But you know the Scriptures saith'
ssPride goeth before falln'
So, when runlors came-they were
but breath
We couldn't understand at all.
Well, after time, dear Angie died,
And Jim went on from bad to worse.
She'd have stood bravely by his side'
Trying to save him from the curse.
But now there was nothing to keep
him back,
So each day found him drinking more
OF friends he began to feel the lack,
And his heart grew heavy, sad and
sore.
With both his wife and money gone,
His practice held no charm for him;
So he drifted and drifted, sad, forlorn,
And now he's known as Drunken
