Mr. and Mrs. williams first were married in Arkansas, eight years 250. Mrs. Willand, after 30 years of wifehood, was a lonely widow; Mr. Williams, too, was lonely, with two wives dead, and his three chni- dren grown. Bo they were married -.
For six years they lived amiably, coming to SpringHed in 1921. Then, etil! amiably. she divorced him-for reasons "too personal." who says, to be revealed. "We never did have any trouble," she said. "I just told him I was going to divorce him: And when I say a thing. I mean It. When the day to get the divorce came, he said to my law- yer. 'I guess there's no une my com- Ing. Is there? and the lawyer sald Certainly not.' But he just came along anyway-" Mrs. Williams Implies that he didn't want her to face the ordeal alone. "It was the first time I ever had been in court. and he sat right beside me and held my umbrella all the time. Then I got my divorce, and he brought me home."

NOT TO BE LONELY -
Mr. Willlame moved Into the country near Willard-Mrs. Wil- liama thought he might get lonely. so she wrote him regularly, and he wrote her. Then, further to keep
him from feeling too lonely. sent him a subscription to The Ile- publican. The boy to whom she gave the order, misunderstanding. iseent her copy of the paper to him Instead of an extra one, and for a week she had to buy her own paper
"But I didn't mind;" she says-"1 knew he would want it."
In April, 1926, she married again. a man "who tried all the ume to get mo to algn over all my property to him; and I wouldn't do that for lilm, or for no man." After two months, he left-"He thought he could go away for a couple of days, and then come back and I'd do anything." she sald. "But oh! it was a great relief to have him gone! I was so glad!" she saya. And when he did come back, he fcund a closed door. In September. exactly a year after divorcing Mr. . Willieuna she divorced him
She then resumed correspondence with Mr. Williams. Last summer he went to Florida for the winter. and repeatedly wrote her to come down there and marry him again. "But I couldn't lenvo Springfield." she explaina "I have a lot of Al friends here, and I didn't want to icave a sure thing for something that would be uncertain."
So he came back here Instead. arriving Monday-and yesterday | they were married.
