sudden Illness.
He had not been in his usual health
for some time, and hoping to recup-
crate under the influence OF a change
he made ready to join hunting party
in the mountains of Pocahonta'
County. The Wild woods held fol
him, especially as he grew Older,

to "the painless woods" in search O.
the greatest pleasure and most relax
alton with which he could indulge
himself.
He remarked to a relative just q:

All that his physicians, his devoted
wife, children, relatives and friends
could do for his relief and comfort
was done, but the CANCEL OF Death"

sons, Stewart and Philip, several
three brothers and two
sisters.
DR.. Fravel was a gentleman of Gull

and study, home loving and domestic
IN his tastes, an affectionate husband |
and devoted father. After his mar

the British toward the sea and effect
a break through.
This is the operation attempted this
week in the region of the famous
battle ground of the early days of
the war in front of Lille.
Here. on a frontage of 10000 yards,
stretching from Armentieres to the
La Bassee canal, the segment held
by the Portuguese troops, hanked on
either side by British divisions, was
penetrated after an intense bonn
bardment.
The hostile attack was favored by
thick mist, and in spite OF the fact
that the British fought tenaciously
they were compelled to give ground
after the Portuguese positions had
been broken through, and have since
retired. abandoning Armentieres and
other points.
On the first day OF the assault, the
enemy was able to penetrate to a

four miles on front OF eleven miles.
