Death of II. M. Williams.

There are other men in the
parish whose death might have
caused more demonstration than
that of H. M. Williams, but none
where the accord of esteem and
regret was more general and
harmonious. Though a man of
strong convictions, sturdy
thought and intelligence, he had
no enemies. He pursued the
even tenor of his way, honest in
his dealings with all, and while
holding his own opinions invinci-
bly,, antagonized no one thereby.
A planter of indomitable energy
and perseverance, he did not de-
pise laboring with his own hands,
as 50 many Southern farmers do.
His life is an example of unfag'
ging industry and endeavor.
His ideas on agriculture were
progressive and embraced every
portion of the farmers domain
field, pasture, garden, stock and
poultry yard. Myrtles, his plan
tation two and a half miles from
town, was an object lesson Of
what can be done by one man
with means due to his eXertiOns,
There are few plantations in
West Feliciana, which show such
all-roundness of effort as Myr'
ties, where too, a kindly South
ern hospitality was always unos'
tentatiOusly dispensed.
White and black, rich and
DOOR, all esteem Fl. M. Williams
The inclement weather that
marked his funeral alone pre-
vented a large cOnc0urse to pay
the last hOnors. AS it was
goodly number braved the colo
rain for his sake. Like the mar
was his long struggle with death
His illness began with stomach
trouble before Christmas ter
minating in acute gastritis. Fol
a week before his death, the
physicians agreed that it was
inevitable and imminent. Blu
day after day, night after night
his well-nigh indomitable con
stitution met and fought Will
death, and did not yield tn
victory easily. But when it did
it was an entrance into rest TO-
the pain-racked body. Sunda,
morning at 8:15 o'clock he pass
ed away.
Harrison Milton Williams wa

ny. In post-bellum days his nat
ural reticence and modesty pre-
vented his mention of his military
record, but there was no better
soldier than young Harry Will.
Jams as his comrades testify.
For a number of years he
taught school in st Francisyille,
and many of the Older set of
young men remember him as q
just and able preceptor. Later,
he went to planting, and after the
purchase of Myrtles plantation
devoted his entire attention to
that avocation.
: He first married Miss Ida S.
Austin, young lady, who came
South to teach. His son, Hunter,
by this marriage, survives him
and resides in California. In
1890, after being a widower for a
number of years, he married
Miss Fannie HARRISON, who, with
their six children, Harry, Lu-
Gle, Lintot, Sam, Surget, Zulei-
ka, mourns the loss of as kind
and good q husband and father
as ever lived. He has one sis
ter, Mrs. Rodney of Wilson, La,
who grieves over him, as do
his wife's sisters, who found in
him a true brother.

spoke: MARK the perfect man,
and behold the upright: for the
