M. WILLIAMS Panty.

| A negro on MS ueath oou -
City made n peculiar request OF MS
wife. On his birthday, April and
after his funeral she was TO invite
the lodge OF colored free masons TO
which he belonged and their friends
and families to a supper which was
to be followed by a program. His re-
quest was carried out. The report
states that:
The house and dining room was
beautifully decorated with lilies AND
! ferns. Among them was photograph
OF Mr.. Williams draped in American
flags A delicious six-course repast
was served and following was
short program. Mrs. c. Z. Stuooie-
field gave q reading en- titled. If
should Die" Remarks by Rev. j. VI.
Lewis, pastor of the Malone A. NJ
e. church, followed. Mr.. Askew spoke
on the Masonic life of Mr.. Williams
and presented Mrs. Williams with q
beaded bag on behalf of members OF
the Decatur lodge. Mrs. Williams re-
sponded by reading a poem which
she had composed. Mrs. Williams
held a reception for her white
friends, about 100 in number, re-
ceiving $50 from them.
There is considerable philosophy in
the party arranged by Mr.. Williams
to be held in his memory. Socratic
philosophy and perhaps from modern
view points somewhat pagan, but
philosophy nevertheless. II Mr.. VIII
Mams' was permitted in mis- changed
condition to be present in spirit at
the gathering he had convoked with
his latest breath the supper and the
prosra probably pleased him better
than weeping. 1t was a gathering OF
friends and companions. They said
all manner Of nice things about the
departed on the ancient principle
which still obtains largely that we
should say nothing but good OF the
! dead. So il is to be assumed that
| his shade felt gratification-if shaecs
retain so much of terrestrial interest
and are so far accessible to earthly
sensations.
| No doubt the gathering went away
more thoughtful for the paper Of
sered by Mrs. Stubbleheld on the
common mortality of human life.
| Joined to the occasion for the gath
ering such admonition should sink
deep. The ancient Egyptians strove
to impress the same thought by
placing a skeleton prominently al
! their feasts.
! The practical fact that the living
must be sustained and that they have
their duties before them was eS-
emplihed in the reception that follow
ed and the donative left by the white
| friends who attended the reception
given by the relict Of Mr.. Williams.
However, there was nothing Sad
ducean about Mr.. Williams supper.
! They ate and drank but there Is no
record of merriment. True enough
| the latter phrase of the Sadduce for
tomorrow we die" was emphasized
but that phrase and that admonition
! 10 not the property OF Sadducees Nnt
| Of all mortels. Rather the risdom of
the Socratians than the recklessness
Of the Sadducee prevailed at Mr..
Williams party.
Perhaps it will jar on sensibility
but there was something philosophi-
cal about 1t, don't you think.
