Mrs. Bette Williams.

Mrs. Bette Williams was born Aug
ust 10, 1869 died Aug 18th, 1908.
She was the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Mullins and at an early
age gave her heart to the Lord and fol-
lowed her Savior to Baptism.
In February 1891 she was married to
Walter Williams, who with three bright
children mourn the loss of a true and
d evoted wife and mother.
A large company of sympathetic
friends gathered with the relatives at
the Baptist church on the afternoon Of
the 18th to attend the funeral conduct
ed by her pastor, Rev. j. A. Rogers,
after which her body was laid to rest
in the Mullins cemetery.
The good she did lives after her and
the memory of her lovely life sweet
ems the cup of sorrow and fans the
flames of hope from her loved ones.
May her father, husband, children
and Borrowing loved ones, find power
and help in the comforting promises of
the Holy Bible.

Scenes In Damon and Pythias at
Electric Theatre Soon.

Shows the hireling soldiers of the ty.
rant Dionysius trying to stop Damon
from entering the senate; the tyrant
knows that Damon's rugged honesty
will stand in the way of his plans to
plumber the treasure of Syracuse.
Dionysius denouncing Damon as a
traitor for daring to oppose his plan of
misrule and plumber. The tyrant senten-
ces Damon to beheaded in six honrs.
This does not brighten the honest
senator, so the monster Dionysius thrat-
ems to behead his wife and child.
The cowardly senators leaving in
fear and trembling after Damon's out
burst of wrath at Dionysius' perfidity
to Syracuse and her people.
We find Calanthe. the affianced bride
of Pythias, begging him to escape from
prison where he is incarcerated as Sc
curity for the safe return of his friend
Damon, whom Dionysius has allowed
six hours in which to bid his family
farewell. Phythias refuses to escape
as he knows Damon will return to meet
his fate.
The beautiful wife of Damon and
their son awaiting the return of hus-
band and father all unsuspecting of the
sad message of sorrow he will soon
bring.
At the scaffold. Pythias awaiting the
coming of the executioner. Damon has
not returned, Pythiae must die in his
stead. Is Damon false to his friend?
Over the hill comes horse and Iider all
jaded from a long, hard ride. IT'S Da-
NOR returned to meet his fate. Even
the strong heart of the tyrant Diony-
sius is touched by such fidelity and
friendship, and he bids them both to
to go in peace and live their lives.
