Churchyard at Sandy Springs. Mr..
Moore was G3 years of age and always
lived in the Sandy Springs section.
He served through the war as mem
Der of Orr's Regiment, and was a brave
soldier. He was most excellent citi-
zen, and was highly esteemed by all of
his friends and acquaintances. Since
his young manhood he had been de-
voted member of the Methodist Church.
A wife and eight children are left to
cherish his memory, and in their sore
bereavement they have the sympathies
of all their friends.
Mr.. Eugene Eskew, who is one of the
leaders of the 2nd S. C.. Regiment
Band, now stationed in Cuba, in writ
ing to one of his cousins a few days
ago, says: "Last Thursday we (our
band) boys secured pass and went mp
to Havana to view the sights of that
old city. We sailed in boats, went
across the harbor, landed at Fort Ca
baniss entrance and went all through
the fort. From there we went to Moro
Castle and were shown through it.
We spent three or four hours at these
old forts, and it was certainly Il most
interesting sight. | found Spanish
poison cartridge in Fort Cabaniss.
From the top of Moro Castle Il fine
view is presented. From the forts we
sailed around the gunboat Nashville"
and warship "TeXas," but did not have
time to go on board. We also saw the
great steel floating dock, on which was
a large ship, high and dry out Of the
water The way they get the ship into
the dock is by sinking the dry dock
and then run the ship in. Then the
water is pumped out of the dock,
which rises again and brings the ship
up out of the water. We sailed around
the Maine but could see nothing ex-
cept part of the old iron frame. We
next visited the Governor Generals
palace to see the remains Of Garcia,
but failed to see them. Havana is q
large city and pretty place. The
buildings are mostly old style and the
streets are very narrow. The side
walks of nearly all the streets are not
wide enough for two persons to walk
abreast at the same time
