ville, N. C? and J. B. Williams
of Black Mountain, N. C.; five
daughters, Mrs. Edward Baird
of Valle Crucis, Mrs. Lloyd See
horn of Johnson City, Tenn.,
Mrs. Ross Thomas of Morris
town, T*nn., Mrs. Clyde Wilson
of High Point, N. C? and Mrs.
Vaughn Reese of Zionville, N.
C.; two sisters, Mrs. Charles
Swift of Santa Rosa, Tex., and
Mrs. Donnelly Hagaman of
Reese, N. C., 11 grandchildren
and 5 great-grandchildren.
The tender, patient care in
all respects, provided for Mrs.
Williams by her devoted, hus
band and affectionate children,
was superb.
This writer, with her many
friends, is gratified by this fine
spirit of love and loyalty shown
to a lovely wife, a gracious mo
ther, and a good neighbor, whose
consecrated life was a beautiful
example for everyone to strive
to emulate. She was from one
of Watauga's best families and
her contribution of the best
things in life, will continue to
live and grow with all who
love goodness.
These anonymous lines ex
press our joy for the whole life
of Mrs. Williams:
I wonder if enough of us,
As we hurry along our way
Pay tribute to so great a woman
An invalid night and day.
Her wasted frame and feeble
hands
Need I say her words were
hushed
But her faint smile and hopeful
eye
Told me that God was just.
Those kind dark eyes through
which she spoke
Were the only reflection of her
soul
But only a woman of com
mon clay
Would respect from her with
held.
And now that she his made her
round
A lesson she has taught
God never picks the weak to
show,
How patience must be
wrought.
So long, good mother! We und
erstand
You did your Job and did U
well
Our fervent hope most sure we
know,
In peace you now must dwell.

Bower H. Duncan.

COMMENTS ON HAIRCUT
Tampa? While in Florida for

haircut?
The White House said the
First Lady favors her son's long
style. Others thought different
ly. One barber said if he was a
boy he should have had a boy's
haircut Some thought it terribly
oldfashioned, and others merely
said he looked like he needed
a haircut.
