y. Blaine Moore took its flight from
this world. He was the third son
OF Mr.. and Mrs, Wayne Moore, hay-

1888. He had been afflicted with
epilepsy since a mere lad. The spells
Of epilepsy we're so serious that
his reason. though previous to his
affliction was bright and active, had
left him. and he retained only
enough TO recognize his intimate
friends In this sorrowful state he
was left to his friends, who by their
devoted love and uneeasing kindness
made as soft as possible his thorny
pathway. The day and evening pre-
vious TO his death he seemed hap
pier and brighter than usual and the
thought that yet perhaps the Master
OF ali mercies would restore him to
his normal condition shot with a
transient CLEAN through the minds
Of his friends, thereby enlightening
their souls. but the morning showed
that He who created him had an
other purpose.
His sister on awakening the 9th
er boys. noticing how calmly Blaine
seemed to be resting, did not care
TO disturb him, thinking he would
awaken OF his own will, but when,
not seeing him at the breakfast table
she again went to his bedside and
found him In the cold embrace OF
death, sleeping the sleepless sleep
that Kisses down his eyelids still.
The remains we're buried In the
family graveyard. the funeral ser
vices being conducted by the Rev
J. s, Thompson. The unmeasured
sympathy OF the people OF ouT
nelghborhood goes out to the grief
