had lost its heat coming over the
bleak and cold east. 1t was the hour

loud drawing breaths and snorts on
the east side of the public square.
Drawing near we found two of busi-

looking daggers and pounding each
other. How long they had been at
it we don't know, but they showed
great fatigue, although there were
no signs from either to quit. We
suggested the idea for some one to
stop their pugiIistic efforts, and they

they were turned loose, at it they

DEATH OF
JOE MOORE.
Another Gallant Confederate
Soldier Past Over to the
Other Shore.

On Friday night Of last week, the
gallant spirit of Joe More took its
flight to join the Biyouac of those of
the Army of Northern Virginia who
preceded him to the other shore.
As husband and father he was al
ways true and helpful, as a citizen
loyal and courageous, and as a public
officer, painstaking, faithful and ef-
ficient. In 1861, when Mississippi
called on her sons for defenders, .Ioe
Moore, then a lad of about Is, was
among the first to volunteer His
company, the Durant Rifles, first
commanded by Capt. Cason, and at
the ending by Capt. Sampson Botters,
was of the companies that made I'D

Regiments that shed impersishable
glory on the name of Mississippi and
helped to make the army of Virginia
No danger nor hardship
daunted Joe Moore, who received
more than one serious wound, the
last one proving a life long disability.
Although impaired physically when
the end of the struggle came, be
faced with equal courage the future
and wrested success. A comfortable
home and a loveable and esteemed
family rewarded his efforts. For
four years he was our county treas
Irer and filled the office with credit
TO himself and satisfaction to the
people. Since then he settled down
lear town to spend his remaining
lays in peace and quite. To his be-
'eaved family We extend profound
sympathy.
