MRS. H. H. sCHoFIELD

Mrs. Mollie Scnofield departed this
life at Haywood, Pocahontas county,
July 18th, 1915, in the Saith year of
her age. .
She was the only daughter of w. S.
and Martha E. Davis. She was mar
ried to Mr.. H. H. Schofield of Ohio,
Oct. IL, 1904. She leaves behind her
4 mourn their loss, a mother, four
Brothers, a husband, and three chill
dren-two daughter, Marilla and
Martha and an infant son, Robert
Lee.
Mrs. Schoefld was never a robust
woman, but was often in very deli
cate health, notwithstanding this she
Possessed remarkable energy, which
gAfe her great power of endurance
and Enabled her to accomplish what
would seem impossible things. Three
times she bravely decended into the
valley Of motherhood, in defiance of
the advice of her physician. Twice
she came back triumphantly, but the
third time she gave her life sacri-
fee in order to realize the object of
her fondest hope, son. 1t is too sad
that she could not have lived to know
that she had brought forth her first
born son, and to perfect her aspira-
ti9ns for her growing family. Yet,
in is for man to propose, but God must
dispose.
Mrs Schofeld was a loyal wife, al
ways considerate of her husbands
wishes and ideas, sharing gladly in
~, fortunes and misfortunes. Like
Ruth of old, taking his people for her
people, his interest for her interest,
and his home. for her home.
She was an ideal mother, she loved
her children, taking great pride in
them, giving them the best attention,
the best culture, and aspiring for
them the best place in. society possible
under the circumstances. May the
good Providence, SO rule, so as the
ambition of the mother may be real
lied in her children.
Mrs. Schofeld was Christian wo-
man, having made profession OF
faith when but child and united
vSiR the Belington Baptist Church,
which was founded by her grandfath-
er. Rev. Robert Durham. She loved
her church. She was always consld-
crate of it's welfare; careful to meet
her obligations to it. She was faith
nful unto death, and has gone home to
wear the crown.
Her funeral services were conducted
at the home of her mothers by Rev.
G. d. Griffin assisted by Rev. II. A.
st. Clair, and her body was laid at
'srest in the Baptist Cemetery on the
hill, Saturday, before noon.

Germans Massing Forces
Petrograd reports that the Germans
are amassing enormous forces before
kovel hoping to stall the Russian ma

important fighting. Kovel's fall would
be a staggering blow to the Central
powers. 1t would completely disrupt
their plans, would menace Lemberg
in opening the road to Brestilitovsk,
would threaten the rear of the Pinsk
region and would necessitate German
withdrawal. The Russians do not lack
ammunition.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Francisco
Villa, the Mexican bandit chief, is
dead and General John J. Pershing' s
troops will leave Mexico within a
month. The militiamen will return
home within three months. Such were
the declarations of high war depart
ment officials today.
FOOling the Masses
Minority leaders are using Villas
name to inspire fear among the Car
ranzistas. First Chief Carranza, of
the defacto government, is stronger
in Mexico than ever before today,
principally because he has averted
war with America without loss of
dignity to the republic.
No Further Trouble Expected
Army men declared there is not one
chance in a thousand of further
trouble in Mexico, either through
repetition of the Parral or Carrizal
incidents or bandit raids. Since the
Carrizal attack has cleared and Car
ranzas note has been received, the
war department considered the Mexi-
can trouble over.
Can't Hurt Carranza
villa himself couldn't hurt Carran-
"a now," declared one of the officials,
"and Villa is now dead according to |
reliable reports. l believe his name |
is being used to embarras Carranza
and to inspire fear. We believe he is
dead and his cause is buried with
him.
