Mrs Mollie Williams.

Like a perfect symphony of soft
sweet melodies-such was the life
Of Mrs Mollie Williams. Twas
the symphony of love played upon
the harp of her heart by the Mas
ter Musician, for the harmony
that softened and mellowed the
tones of her eighty-one years was
| the thinking on those things that
are true, honest, pure. lovely and
of good report" A wife whose
husband did safely trust in her
for she has done him good and
not evil all the days of her life"
A mother whose child and
whose grand children rise up
and call her blessed; and a
friend in whose tongue was the
law of Kindness" these were her
works which now praise her.
Surely no woman is called to a
higher or nobler work in this life.
Mrs Williams, who was Mollie
Holloway, was born June 10.
1886, at Gadsden, Ala. She was
married to Prof Henry ] Williams
February 5th. 1865. One child
lived to bless this union. Earth
has not seen happier home than
was the one of her making, nor
is it possible for this life to give a
more perfect love than that of her
marriage. Prof and Mrs Williams
lived for many years in Pleasant
Site, Ala, from which place they
moved to Russellville, Ala. In
1900 they came to Iuka; where
they have won place in the
hearts of all who know them.
Mrs Williams has lived consis-
tent member of the Presbyterian
church for fifty years living her
religion each day. OF her many
virtues and christian graces, per
haps her strongest was a supreme
unselhshness made SO evident in
her unfailing and untiring devo-
ton to her family.
For the past five years her
health has been gradually failing,
yet she has borne her sickness
with an accomplishing patience.
Often she would express a willing
ness and readiness to go whenever
her Lord should call.
! And when on Sunday night al
1880 He called her she went t.
mother S breast. The symphony
of life is finished. The harp tina
the Master touched is still and VIZ
who heard and loved it so Ions
shall miss its sweetness, but ou1
hearts are better and purer be
cause of its music. Her works
which live after her are sweet in
auences that shall live as long as
life shall last and shall encircle
us as blessed benediction. M w

A Mothers Love

Life does moi hold enough of years
In which we can repay
A mothers love-so do your best
Before she goes away.
M truer words were ever penned
In verse or sacred song;
M sweeter thought was given birth
Amid the worldly throng.
No purer theme could be discussed
In mankinl's vast domain,
And heavens dream is far surpassed
By this true. sweet refrain.
A mothers love. God bless the man
who honors and reveres
The sacred memory of her.
And speaks her name in tears.
No matter what our love has been
Mayhap so kind and sweet,
II cannot be what she deserved,
For it is not complete.

And every tender smile she gave
Is happiness to you.
Her watchful care, her loving eye.
The prayers I'm c~hildhood's hour,
Come back, and o. we love her now
But we have lost the flower.
L she still with MS in M home?
Can we still hear her voice?
And feel the touch Of her dear hand
That bids our soul rejoice?
Can mothers kiss still thrill Il

Then happiness IL ours.
The world can give no sweeter bliss,
There are no sweeter flowers.

In which we can repay
