Death Of Captain Moore.
Captain John NJ. Moore, formerly a
conductor on the Chester and Lenoir
Narrow Gauge railroad, and we'll
known in this section, died in Chester
last Tuesday night as the result OF
having been bitten by parrot about
week before. The Charlotte Observer,
of Thursday, has the following
"Captain Moore was not strong. He
had been threatened with consumption
for several years, and went into the
car thinking the travel would benefit
him. His hopes had been realized
and he was feeling much stronger
when death came TO him in very
unlooked-for manner, by the bite of .
pet parrot. Captain Moore was fine
man. He was native of Chester, s.
c., and was for years superintendent
and conductor of the Cheraw and
Chester Narrow Gauge, now the Ian
caster aud Chester road. He wa'
a whole-souled, big-hearted, honest
truthful man, and no one could say
aught but good of him. He was high
ly esteemed at home and abroad. HI
was particularly well-known in rail
road circles, and his death will b'
learned of with genuine sorrow"

MT. Gross will pro- secute work vigorously. The Elkhart mine is, as it has been for some time, shipping some of the richest concen- trates it has ever been the good for tune of the mine to have. The situ- ation of the Ekhart being on direct extension of the Tennessee mine and next to tue Johnny Bull and Silver Knight, on the same line, renders 1t highly possible that it will produce ore more marvellous in it's richness and quantity than ever before, before many weeks pass.

why is it? Possibly, because white
