HON. WILLIAM WILLIAMS.


The announcement is made that
Hon. William Williams has been ap-
pointed assistant attorney general of
Mississippi.
Perhaps no other official act of At
torney General McClurg will give
such universal satisfaction to the pee
pie of Mississippi as this appointment.
Mr.. Williams, though comparatively
a young man, easily ranks as one of
the ablest members of the bar in this
state. He has often been importuned
by his friends to become a candidate
for congress and other important
offices, but since he was admitted to
the bar he has steadily refused to be-
come candidate for any Office, al
ways preferring to give his whole
time to his legal duties.
He has accepted the office of assist
ant attorney general as it is in line
with lis profession. Possessed of a
great mind, a generous heart and I'M
firing energy, he is sure to be one of
the greatest lawyers in the country.
