ne's fine grand piano. Miss Aim
quist has a voice of wonderful power
and charm, and the people of Union
City have been delighted with" her
singing. She is also a young woman
of delightful personality, a gift as
valuable to the singer as tho voice
itself, and which every great song
stress has used to more or less effect
in bringing the world to her feet.
But her voice in a word is beautiful,

voted to her art, but ohe is supreme
ly human and natural and loves to
sing for her friends. We could very
well describe her art by saying that
she interprets every work of merit,
either standard or popular, with
equal ease of attack and command.
Miss Almquist is a pupil of the Cin
cinnati Conservatory, where she" has
studied for a number of years, and,
accomplished in voice and person,
she is a source of infinite pleasure to
her friends which number legion.

ON
A Dear Friend.
On the evening of May 2, as the
lovely day was closing, and tired na
ture was gently drawing her cur
tain down over the busy world, God
in his infinite mercy wafted the spir
it of our friend and neighbor, Mrs.
Waddell Williams, to her eternal
home.
This good woman has gone to reap
the reward of doing her Master's.
will. Mrs. Williams was . a very
quiet, modest Christian lady. She
has done many kind deeds and Chris
tian acts in her long, useful life. The
ujuBi uettuuiui pun ui uer career w
that she never let her right hand
know what, her left hand did. She.
was very conscientious and was.
guided by the Golden Rule. She al
ways weighed well whatever sho un
dertook to do. Then she did as she
would be done by. If she could help
you carry your burdens and lay at
tho cross of Christ she was ever
ready and willing.
Your humble writer knew her from
sweet, experience and association
with her and her noble generous,
character.
Mr. and Mrs. Willfama havo en
Joyed many of life's blessings.
Among the many I will mention One.
They have never known the cheer-
lessness and loneliness of death la
their family. They rave raised a.
family of six children to years of
maturity and usefulness without &
broken link, with the peace of God
to aid and sustain them thru the
rough and rugged. Journey of life.
They were all permitted to be with,
mother and tot cheer and comfort
her thru the last days of suffering,
and later to see her in the blessed
assurance that her sufferings were
nearing a calm and gentle close.
The blesood Lord and Master was
with her in the valley and the shad
ow of death and his rod and hia
staff they comforted her when earth
ly help is done, which had been her
stay all along the many varied
vicissitudes of life.
My friend had been In very feeble
health for several years, though con
fined to her room only a short time,
perhaps ten or fifteen days. This
good old tried and' true friend lies,
resting in tho old Antioch Cemetery
near Crystal, Tenn., to await the
resurrection morn. '
I regret that feeble health was
the cause of my absence at the
burial and service" of one of my
dearest friends. Though such is life.
"Not my will but thino be done."
Mrs. Williams was a member of
the Methodist Church for- .several
years. "Blessed are they that die In
the Lord, for their works do follow
taem.
Mrs. Williams was born Jan. 16,
1850, aged over 68 years. She is
survived by five daughters Mrs. Ida
Miller, Illinois; Mrs. Addie Stephens.
Missouri; Mrs. Adele Hudson, Miss
Qra Williams, .Mrs. Tillio Rice, Ten
