Mary Bigeow Herbert, daughter OF
William aud Martha Herbert. WAS born
in Junius. Seneca county, N. Y. March
81, 1912. and died AT her home in Paw
Paw, Decenber T. 1912. Her mother
died when she WAS but two years old.
She lived 10 or Dear herbirth place until
she was married September IL. 1867. to
Milton j Gov. After her marriage she
went directly To Mr.. Coy's home 10
Clarendon, N. Y, and this WAS their
home for two years. In 1869 they came
TO Michigan and settled on q farm. Fen
years ago they moved into the village OF
Paw Paw and this has been their resi-
dence since that time.
Three daughters, Mrs. Blanche Buck
bout Of Kalamsz DO, Mrs. Edith johnson
of Minneapolis, MINI. and Mrs. Rather.
inc Wildey OF Los Angeles, Cal, sur
vive the mother.
Mrs. Coy was OF a very delicate con-
stitution, although her friends have mar.
yelled at her strength in combating
the terrific 81 gees OF pain and attacks
upon her vilality and have often within
the past two Years given up the hopes
Of having her remain here but for q
short time, yet she would rally and be
something like herself. only not quite
regaining her strength each time.
This friend who has left US will be
missed by many people. While she was
not able to miugle a great deal ia h so.
cisl way IN events, her home was always
open TO her acquaintances and every
day was her receiving day. She was No.
usually loyal to friends and their devo
ton 10 her made her life easy and happy
in the face OF occasional suffering. She
was a member Of the Presbyterian
church. having united with this church
while quite young. The husband and
daughters have the sympathy of all who
know them, for the mother was very
dear to them. but the fact that she slept
peacefully away the very last hour OF
her life and awoke in another world
should surely be a consolation to the
family who have stood by aud watched
it all.
The funeral was conducted by Rev.
M. l.. Marshall, assisted by Rev. E. II
Harvey, at the Presbyterian church last
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. The TO-
terment was at Prospect.

DISCUSS
MERITS OF
PAVEMENT

There was a meeting of property
owners on Center street Saturday
night and the relative merits Of the
different kinds of pavements pro-
posed for this street were discussed
There were about as present. q. w.
Geiger, the lowest bidder on concrete
pavement, and the representatives Of
bitulithic and El Oso payements were
present and pointed out the merits OF
their payements and the property
owners then discussed the whole
matter, and favored concrete almost
unanimously. Petitions were draft
ed and signed and at the close the
petition for cement had 20 names
and no names TO either of the other
kinds Of pavement
The meeting seemed to favor con-
crete for the reason that II was
much cheaper than either OF the othr
er pavements, the bid on concrete be-
ing 81 cents square yard and the
next lowest bid being $3.50 a square
yard for gravel bitulithic, and the
El Oso was still higher.
1t is understood that the petitions
will be further circulated today and
will be submitted TO the street com
mittee for adoption at the council
meeting tonight

Washington, March 11.-Confident
that the coming clash at Torreon be-
tween Mexican rebels and federals
will be one Of the greatest battles
fought since the close of the American
civil war, state department officials
here today are eagerly awaiting de-
tails from American agents, outlining
the precautions to be taken for the
safety of the foreign residents. Dip
lomats here believe that the next two
battles will decide whether President
Francisco l. Madero is to remain at
the helm, or whether an entirely new
administration is to assume the reins
of government
Scene Of Battle.
The first battle will be decided somo
where between the cities Of Torreon
and Ciudad. Both factions are bend
ing their energies to make this clash
the deciding one Of the Vasqulsta rev.
olution. II the rebels are successful,
the march on Mexico City will COM
mence. This latter battle undeniably
will deal Madero's fate. The Mexican
president is making every effort to
prepare stubborn resistance, but he
Is secretly hoping that the federals
may avert an attack on the capital by
a decisive victory at Torreon.
The plans for the rebel advance
were changed at the, last moment. To-
days dispatches say that General Or

Americans Moving Out.
All American women and children,
both in Mexico City and Torreon, to-
day are leaving the disturbed districts
by scores. They have been advised to
leave while the railroad is still oper-
alton The foreign male element are
to be barricaded In a certain spot, and
1t is not believed that either the rebels
orNfederals will dare to fire on the
enclosure. The foreigners, however,
will have an ample supply Of ammuni-
tion and firearms on hand, and will be
in position to put up a stubborn de-
fense, should the necessity arise. The
main body OF federal troops, COM
manded by General Francisco villa,
today are advancing from Torreon to
meet the rebels. The battle may come
tomorrow, but Il Is generally believed
that 1t will start early Wednesday
morning. Both sides are determined
to fight to the last ditch, and real
battle Is expected
Reports to the state department say
that the state OF Durango Is seething
with revolutionary uprisings. More
than 100 Americans are reported be-
sieged at Velardena.
