The subject of this notice was born Nov. 30, 1837, and died Apr. 26-1907 making his earthy abode CD years and 4 months 26 days. He was the son of the late Silas and Priscilla Moore, and grew up to be a hard work ing young man and when war was declared between the States, he was among the foremost to respond tojhis countries call to arms. He served faithfully in the waruntii the battle of Sharps burg in the year of 1863 and at that time and place he suffered the great loss of his right arm, thus rendering him a cripple for life, but this loss did not discour age him he went to work and during the remainder of his life he worked hard and prepared a good living for himself and wife who was the daughter of the late Calvin Hawkins Esq. Mr. Moore was a man well known in his and many other counties of the State having once filled the position as county treasurer. He was an uncommon strong man, and up until about a year or more ago enjoyed God's richest bless ing, that of good health. About a year ago his health began to be not so good much of the time he was unable to be out but very little. On the 9th day of April he was stricken with something like paralysis, from which he never rallied. He remained in this condition for seventeen days anddurinj the Whole time he was never known to murmer or complain. It was all well with him and his master, although he had never made a public profes sion of religion, still he was a great respecter of rel'egious mat ters, and left very favorable im pressions that peace had been made between him and his mas ter and when the final end came he passed away into the great and mysterious beyond without a tremor or struggle, and we be lieve and hope that today his immortal soul is rejoicing in Heaven, with God and the angels. He was preceded to the grave by his wife and two sisters, and a host of friends and relatives, who are mucfi grieved at his heath, but it is Gods will be done and not ours. His remains were laid to rest in the country, at Berrys Grove church. Peace to his ashes. Archie P. Daniel. RESULT OF THE CITY ELECTION. CARD OP THANKS.

However, Mayor Graham was the choice of the people and will serve another two years.
