T.w. WILLIAMs, DEATH.

In the death OF Mr.. T. w. Williams
Okolona lost by far one OF the noblest,
the grandest and purest type of man
hood that any town could possibly
have. The writer has known Mr..
Williams intimately for over 80 years.
He possessed that nobility Of soul,
that ingenuousness of heart that made
every one who came In cantact with
him feel happier and better. He had
no patience with any man or woman
who sits In Judgment upon the action
of another, for his idea was that we
should all strive 10 make the world
better by giving Joy, sunshine and
happiness and building mp character
instead Of pulling it down. He never
thought evil Of any one, and be would
have had his right arm amputated be.
fore he would have spoken derogatory
of any ones character or injured them
Ia any way. His whole life was an
exemplification of that Of our Lord In
purity of thought, magnaminity OF
spirit, tenderness of feeling, nobility
OF soul and loving heart that beat In
sympathy with all humanity. He was
so much beloved and revered that the
most thoughtless verbose swearer
always put q paddock upon his lips
whenever be knew Mr.. Williams was
In hearing distance. He had the un-
bounded confidence OF every one who
knew him; his word was his bond and
that was all any one would ask of him.
He would have been 80 years old had
he lived till November.
he never made any profession Of
religion or connected himself with
any church, but be did live q model
life and was truly an exemplary char
acter, for be pFacticed in everyday life
the grand and cardinal principles that
Christ said 8 man must have before
he could inherit q home In Heaven,
and we feel sure that he did exercise
q saving yet unuttered faith, that
enabled him TO live the true, grand and
noble life be did. In fact we feel no
hesitancy In saying that II Mr.. Williams
fails to reach the bright Mansions on
high, then there win be but 8 meager
