Death of Mr.. James A. Moore.

Another brave soldier of the Con-
federacy has passed over the river to
rest under the shade OF the trees
to quote the words OF the immortal
"StOnewall' Jackson.
MIR. James A. Moore died at his
home near Newman last Monday, Feb
2Oth, aged ~ years. He was Con-
federate soldier, as above stated, and
lost a leg in the fights around Rich
mond. Faithful to duty in those
days that tried mems souls he was
none the less loyal to his reunited
country when peace was restored, as
he was to himself, his church and his
God. Mr. Moore was a good citizen,
a consistent Christian and a devout
member OF the Methodist Episcopal
church.
Many OF our people will remember
the pleasant face of this old gentle
man who often came to Henderson
selling his produce He wore an arti-
fetal leg and Notwithstanding this
handicap in life he was cheerful and
good humored always and it was a
pleasure to come in contact with him.
