a competent committee elected at Il
mass meeting of citizens about two
weeks ago. This committee includes
many of the most prominent merchants

burgess of Butler being II of the mem
bers. Investigation shows that at least

His mother of Virginian stock, was

Mr.. Williams came to this section
of the country in 1888. He has been
identified with the business interests

since that time. The panic of '93

responsible position with the Travel

men. He was very success sful as field
superintendent for the beet sugar fac

a similar position by the factory at
Alamosa at a salary largely increased.
Mr. Williams is man of sterling
worth. courteous and obliging as an
official, public spirited. generous to a

those traits of character which makes
a man loved, respected and honored
