MIR. E. T. MOORE
DIES IN ST. LOUIS
BODY OF PROMINENT COLUMBUS MAN
BURIED HERE.
FUNERAL HELD FRIDAY

Another veteran has Crossed
the River to Rest Under the
Shade of the Trees. -
The remains of Mr.. E. 7. Moore
whose death occurred in a St.
Louis hospital was brought home
for burial, arriving Friday over
the M. & o. He was met by a
large concourse of friends who
followed him to his last resting
place in Friendship cemetery.
Rev. T. w. Lewis conducted the
services at the grave assisted by
Revs. Lipscomb and Wells and
members of his church choir.
The pail bearers were, Messrs.
Thos. Harrison, VIM. Baldwin,
J. NJ. Street, ]. T. w. Hairston,
J. l. Sturdivant, John P. Mayo,
L. N. Vaughan and John Oliver.
Mr.. Moore was a native of
Columbus, born in 1874, his
family of good old Georgia stock
having been pioneer settlers of
this county. Having been left
an orphan at an early age he
missed the loving care and ten
der ministrations of kind parents
and thrown out upon his own
resources while yet a boy he had
fitting discipline for the battles
he had to fight in after life. At
the call of his country for volun-
teers to repel the invaders he
was one of the first to enlist and
his heroic deeds made him con-
spicuous on many bloody fields.
He was a good citizen, a faithful
member of the Methodist church
and loyal to his friends. His
proud bearing, commanding
figure and rugged feature were
those of the old Roman, and his
high mined sense of honor and
integrity were of a type that
is all too rare. Life's fitful
fever over, the turmoil and
strife are ended for him. Re-
quiescat in pace.

A newspaper can never very
creditably represent a town
whose business men do not
advertise. He may howl him
self hoarse Dragging about the
VIM, energy and enterprise of
his town, but if his declara-
tions are not backed up by a
liberal amount of advertising
by the business men of the
town, the world will be slow
to take his statement as true.
1t takes more than the unsup-
ported testimony of the local
newspaper man to prove to
the world that his town is the
financial center, the business
center, the best market, and
the best place on earth to buy
goods; his evidence needs cor
roboration. -Clarkville (Mo.)
