For seventy-four years he has| |been in the ministry of flic Methodist Church, planted it in Georgia, nur- tured its early growth, guarded its, |maturer years and lived to see it flow- er into its present perfection before his life's labors were forever ended. His life has been a remarkable and eventful one, and to the close lie dis- played those shining qualities which distinguished him through his long ! career of usefulness. Dr. Pierce was the second son of his parents and born in Halifax county, North Carolina, in exceptions. In his death this institu tion loses a lifelong and devoted friend. Last winter he attended the session of the North Georgia Conference in Marietta. , At the urgent solicitation of the ministers assembled he address ed the Conference and spoke in his usual fatherly manner, concluding by saying that it would be the last time he would speak to them. The after- noon was extremely inclement, and to keep the appointment, the aged man of God was compelled to go through a pouring rain to the church. A severe cold was contracted and was followed by a severe spell of sickness. He started on his journey to his home in Sparta, but could proceed no fur- flier than Macon. On his arrival he and the Legislature and two United IBERAL advances made on consign- J mentsof Cotton, she was up in time to catch it under the throat upon her horn and threw it over back ward, and before it could get another lick at her, or defend il- self, she wason it again, tossing it high into the air, it fell into the water with a splash, and not venture to the land again.
