MAMIE EUNICE MOBILES

On Tuesday, Oct %, 1918, Mamie
Eunice Mobiles died at the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. B. D. Paulk,
after an illness of about twelve days.
Mamie was very lovable girl, and en-
deared herself to all with whom she
came in contact, and being young
woman, only about twenty years old,
her death was severe shock to the
entire community. She was a mem
Der of one of Irwin county's most
prominent families. Having always
lived among as she will be sorely
missed. In her girlhood days Mamie
was very popular among the younger
set and she was thought no less of
by older people. She numbered her
friends by her acquaintance.
On Sept. II, 1917, she was married
to Mr.. Walter Tillman Mobiles, to
whom we extend coincidence in this
sad trial
Everything was done for Mamie
that loving hands could do, but God
called and she had to go. To the sor-
rowing ones we say, weep not as those
that have no hope, because we have
reason to believe she is at rest. On
Wednesday, Oct. q, she was laid to

THE CHAMBERMAID KNEW
A party of men, meaning nothing but
well,
Had gathered one eve, at local ho-
tel.
The guests on the floors both above
and below
The suite they engaged were excited
to know
The source of the sounds that came
filtering through
The transom and keyho1e and win
dow and fue.
The tinkle and gurgle and laughter
and click
Pervaded the corridors, packing them
thick.
The hours sped on; the occasion was
DER.
The party of friends trickled through
the door,
And with little of stagger or stumble
or sway,
Went laughlingly, happily, gaily
away.
The fun that they'd had was mys.
terry quite
And no one could guess what had
happened that night
The patrons were puzzled; their won.
derment grew.
But late in the morning, THE
CHAMBERMAID KNEW!
The peel of lemon she found b,
the door;
The little tin tops that she picked
from the floor
A tale was explained by each trinke
and speck-
The chairs-(and the joker they tool
from the deck.)
The cigaret butts-and the matche.

Oh the chambermaid knew! She wa.

IL meatless day and one meal wheat
less. The mother and children were
trying 10 save meat and wheat, hut
their father was not.
What are We going to have for
dinner: he asked. His wife replied
We will not have any meat or wheat
bread for dinner to-day"
Il don't care what Nj. Hoover said,
] am going TO have all the meat and
wheat bread want" he replied
ThS children and mother enjoyed the
dinner very much, but he got mad
and went out to his dinner
SO he went out to hotel TO get
his dinner. forgetting that ne could
not get any meat or wheat bread He
looked over the list and saw that he
could not get any. so he got up and
went back home. His wife asked him
how he enjoyed his dinner away from
home. He did not reply, as he was
mad.
The next Wednesday they had com
pany. II was his father and mother
who had come TO spend the day. They
mad the same thing that they had had
the last Wednesday. The greedy man
did not like II much. hut said nothing.
Ills father and mother had not been
Hoorer'zinE. but they did after this.
In the paper the next day he saw
where many OF the allies and soldiers
were starving to death for tho lack
OF food because people were using too
much most and wheat. This mad~ him
think about his boys.
The next day he read that one o.
mis- boys had starved to death This
SrieNed him very much. He did not
want his other son to starve so he
thought he would Hooverize and save
all that Mr.. Hoover wanted saved. Tho
children and their mother were very
clad that he WAS going TO Hooverizc.
He thought II hc TIooverized his other
son might come home safe after tho
