ening when it became known that Mr..

suddenly been called to the Great Be-
yond.
Mr.. Moore had been in feeble health

up and about. He attended the school

seemed to enjoy himself fine. The
writer, on his way to Sabbath school
about 9:30 yesterday morning, met Mr..
Moore near his home. He seemed to
be more cheerful than usual 1t is
said he ate a hearty dinner about II
o'clock. He and Mrs. Moore were go
ing to visit some of their neghbors
in the afternoon. At or near ) o'clock
he got up to start and fell into the
beyond, bringing a shock on the COM
munity, the church and to his wife
Mr.. Moore moved into this com
munity several years ago and attached
himself to this church and has been
a faithful, loyal member until death.
Mr.. Moore was an old veteran OF the
war between the states and was Scv-
cnty~fivc years old.
The family is expecting the pastor,
