about fifteen hundred acres, is
conceded to be one of the finest

$75,000 for it.
For the last few years, he has
devoted his time to his farming

whiskey, representing the fourth
'generation of hii family in the
i manufacture of whiskey at the
1 san-e place.
There is now on hand at his
! place about 15,000 gallons of
i whiskey that was left over from
his distillery when the prohibition
law went into effect.
Ingearlier years he took an
ective interest in politics and
was for a time a member of the
State Democratic Executive
Committee. He split with the
Democrats on the Watts law,
however, and thereafter took
very little interest in politics.
Mr. Williams was a member of
one of the oldest and best known
families in the State and has a
number of relatives in this
section. He was a most affable
gentleman on close acquaintance
and his friends were closely
attached to him.

| friends were not surprised to
