will cost you from one thousand
to fifteen hundred dollars each

or woman does not have the
means—nor will they take the
time necessary to equip them-
selves with a University train-
ing. Even should they do so,
there is always a non-produc
tive period after completing a
Universty course, the building
up of a practice or clientele on
their chosen profession.

progress than those who have

The Tyler Commercial Col

reputation of qualifying its stu-
lents in such a way that m.tki
their school the choice of larg
business concerns when in need
of office help.
Such concerns as the Texas
Company, the Magnolia Petrol
eum Co., the Continental Sup-
ply Co., several of the larger
wholesale grocery companies a ;
well as large Lun oer and Auto-
mobile Compn'.ies, use their1
graduates aV.ost exclusively.
It is gratifying, indeed, to see
how many young people take ad-
vantage of this wonderful
school to equip themselves in a
few short months to go into the
offices of the above and many|
other concerns—and earn
splendid salary.

| In Memory of J. J. Williams.
As I sat alono in my room in
my humble little cottage this
beautiful Sabbath morning 1
looked out on the little buds
and flowers as they were burst-
ing forth from their winter
beds to give beauty and frag-
rance to this great world in
which we live. Then I listened
to the song birds as they warb-
led their notes of praise to the
God that notes the sparrows fall
and I just wndered if there was
a sad heart in our little town
or community. Then my mind
drifted like the breeze of the
morning to the little brown
house by the side of the road
where there lives a lonely wi-
dow and two orphan boys. Sad
yes, and broken hearted. Why?
Because on last Friday morn-
ing, March 28, just as the gray
dawn of a new day begun to
come forth death tiptoed into
the room and fastened its cruel
fangs in the body of Bro. J. J.
Williams, who was born in Al-
abama 49 years, 4 months and
3 days ago. Bro. Williams
joined the Baptist Church in
Winnsboro about 20 years ago.
He had his faith and hope plant-
ed in the Bible as his only
guide. Eighteen years ago he
married Miss Lizzie Giliiland.
The Rev. Holland, his former
pastor, married them just
in front of where the Baptist
Parsonage now stands. To this
union six children were born,
four dying in infancy. Two
boys, as well as his faithful
wife, are left to mourn his go-
ing.
It was the writer's happy
privilege to know Bro. Williams
intimately for several years. He
was ever faithful to his church,
as often as |x>ssible for him to
do so. At last a dreaded dis-
ease fastened its wicked fangs
into his dear body, but from
the very first he said "God's
will be done." I had the pleas-
ure of being in his home from
one to six times a week. We
spent many happy hours togeth
er in reading God's wonderful
words and praying together, and
many times 1 have left him with
pains that were hard to hear,
yet great tears of joy would run
1 down his pale cheek with that
confidence in God that, was un-
shaken. He had a heart of love
and charity. Oftimes he would
says, "I don't see why people
don't come to see me in my
lonely hours.'" Then he would
ay, "I don't blame them; it is
II right." A few Weeks ago
lie realized the end was near
and asked the writer to conduct
his funeral service, to be assist-
ed by his faithful pastor. It
as not long until he begun to
tde like the rose in summer
id on last Monday he asked
ie to read his blessed old Book
>r him for the last time. I
urned to John, 14 chapter.

me." Then on Tuesday morn-l
