A lthough expected for so m e tim e, our
c o m m u n ity wa* seriously shocked last
T h u rs d a y evening to learn t h a t Hon.
M. M. F ills bad been g a t h e r e d by the
grim reap er to join his forebears in th e
heavenly land above.
For nearly 30
y ears t h e w riter had kn o w n a n d re­
spected Micheál Ellis as on of o u r clos­
es t an d most i n t i m a t e friends, having
first m a d e his a c q u ain tan ce when he
wa* engaged in selling <>ut a stock of
m erch an d ise in Salem an d we were g e t ­
ting o u t t h e Capitol Democrat.
At
t h a t tim e he th o ro u g h ly im pre ssed u*
as a man whom it would do to tie to,
an d in t h e af ter years we have never
had cause to ch an g e o ur first formed
opinion of his ch a r a c te r . H e was a
man to whom t h e giving of aid to his
b rother m an was pleasure, a n d hi* able j
life has been sp e n t in doing so. I t is a
fact t h a t Mitch would h ave passed away
wor th th o u san d * of dollars, w here he
was h u n d red s, if It h ad n o t been for
th is noble t r a i t in his ch a r a c te r . H u n ­
d r ed s of people t h ere a r e y et in Polk
o o u n ty who can testify to t h e fact t h a t
he has co m e forward a t critical tim es in
t h e i r financial p ath w ay , a n d m any
tim es vo luntarily, w ith o u t even th e as k ­
ing, given th e m t h e aid needed to tide
th em over u n til such t im e a* they could
repay h i m tor credit given or money
loaned. T h a t he would m an y times
lose in th is su b lim e t r u s t of his fellow
man i* b u t t h e way of t h e world, h u t
he never kicked, even th o u g h soVne-
tim es reviled by t h e very person s whom
he had so greatly assisted. A more I
straig h tfo rw ard ami ho nest m an never |
lived—his word was as good a* his bond
with those who knew hi m , a n d his d eath
will leave a void in t h e business, social
an d ch u rch circles of Dallas t h a t it will
tak e years to fill. His last m o n th s of
life were m ark ed by day* an d nights of I
su p rem e agony, cause« by t h a t dread !
(incase, cance r, yet he bore t h e pain |
with fortitude of a stoic, an d never al­
lowed a w h im p e r to go forth a b o u t th e
hard n ess of his lot. He leaves to m ourn
hi* loss a devoted h elp m eet, a n d m any
o th e r relatives, t h e union never being
blessed with children.
