Captain Moore Dead.
Aaold and highly esteemed- citizen
of Thomnsville, Capt. S. L. Moore,
died at his residence at 8 o’clock, on
Sunday morning.
Captain Moore wns_born in Duplin
county, North G'nrdTiim, <m -the 20th
of April, 1823. This would make
him 67 yeurs old lust April. He
wards of one hundred Norman draft
horses, Arabian ring horses and Shet
land ponies. The most perfect disci
pline is maintained in the several dis-
tinct departments. Traveling men
with whom we have conversed, and
who have seen the show at various
places, attest to its general excellence,
and say that one of the most noticea
ble features is the entire absence of
all questionable characters and fol
lowers. Unescorted Indies and chil
dren may be sure of the most courte<
ojis treatment.
Remember that this circus performs
in Thotnasville next Saturday, the
15th. It will be the only circus here
this season, and it will no doubt draw
a big crowd.
“Bob” Mitchell’s Eloquence.
The following special appeared in
Sunday’s News:
At a veteran’s rally, presided over
by Gen. P. M. B. Young, resolutions
were passed that badges of gray cloth
bearing Gen. Gordon’s picture be
struck off and worn by the confederate
veterans. Fervid and impulsive
speeches were made, the most ardeflt
aud effective, doubtless, being that by
Hon. R. G. Mitchell, president of the
senate, who thrilled every confederate
breast in the hall, and there were 400
in round numbers. Veterans criod
from emotion. One of the closing
scenes of the meeting was the voter-
rans "with hands on their hearts and
eyes towards their God,” pledging
themselves to vote for and support
Gen. Gordon. A member of the
legislature stated that ho had hereto
fore been undecided, but that he was
henceforth a Gordon man.

terwards lie moved to South
Georgia, nnd has lived here ever
siuce. Captain Moore leaves a
wife, arid a large number of
children to mourn his death. Ho
had been n confined invalid for twelve-
months.
Tiie funeral took jdnee from the
residence yesterday morning nt 9
o’clock, and was largely attended.
Tito services were conducted by
Rev, J. H. Herbener. At their con
clusion the body was taken charge of
by St. Thomas Lodge, ot which the
deceased was tin honored member.
Mr. Wni. J. Campbell acicd as mar ■
shal. The following were the paU
bearers: M. A. Fleetwood, J. B.Coyle,
D. Elius, Win. Parrish aud T. J. Dar-
racott. The stewards were Robert
Dekle and D. A. Murray. The beau
tiful and impicssive burial service of:
the Masonic fraternity wore conduct
ed by Worshipful Master, G. W. Her
ring. Simple and sublime, they tout-li
ed every heart present.
Thus has been laid to rest a '.matt
whom all honored for his personal
worth and integrity. Captain Moore
was a member of the Presbyterian
church, a devoted Mason, a kind hus
band, a loving father, a worthy citi
zen nnd a true neighbor.
Words of consolation on such occa
sions have a hollow sound. Bleeding
hearts must bleed, but the Healer, He
who docth all things well, will bind
them up with his love. Tho wife and

Going For ’Em.
The Brunswick Times, speaking of
the x-eports about tho yellow fever iu
that ct'.T *
"Thet.e has been a good deal of
stcxness litre recently, all from ordina-
ot
ibroxen bone fe v er. and a number of
deaths have occu/red ; but this sick
ness and those deaths have not war
ranted the foolish ruLiors of the pres
ence of yellow fever.
‘•The truth is—and The Times
makes the assertion with i-hame—half
a; dozen panic-stricken dlizeas of
Brunswick, aided by about the same
number ot lying visitors, are responsi
ble for the infamous and damaging
rumors as to the presence here of yel
low fever.”
John B. Gordon.
Athens Evening Ledger.
In Governor Gordon wo see a per
fect type of Southern manhood, a ntan
whose courago end fortitude have
been tested in war, private life aud
political contests. His enemies love
him, nnd when he is gone, comrades
and Georgians will erect to his mem
ory a granite shnft, cut and chiseled
with words of eulogy, hut his most
enduring monument will be his hiS'
torie life, imperishably based upon
the aflection and love of his people, and
prompting unborn generations to the
same height of purity and honor he so
worthily attained.

Governor Gordon, in his farewell
message, makes a good showing for
the progress of Georgia.
In four years her taxable values

Among the more important subjects
of taxation, her cotton mills havo
increased in value $3,230,518; her
iron works, $186,231; her banking

her city and town property, $27,899,-

This is certainly a flattering exhi
bit. Few states, if any, luivc made
more substantial progress in four
years.

Dr. Brunuer, of Savannah, went
to Brunswick to investigate the ru-
mors of yellow fever in the latter
place. He says there are some cased
of malarial fever in Brunswick, but
they present no symptoms of yellow

Not a single republican is elected
to tho legislature in Florida. This
breaks the record. Well, we arc uct
surprised at anything now.
Tho republicans did not know the
tariff bill was loaded. But it was,
and the rebound was something ter

CITY SHOE STOKE.
We don't believe in the "Hur
rah'' method of transacting
business. There’s decidedly
more evidence of sincerity in a
continued utterance of solid and
substantial facts, than there is
in the spasmodic outbursts of in
explicable liberality which has
been shown by some business
houses. This, however, is an f.
issue which must be decided by
the intelligence and discerning
judgment of the people who
have dollars to spend, and who
naturally expect to receive a fair
equivalent for their cash. We
hope the moral of our few re
marks will be correctly under- |
stood and thoroughly appreciat
ed.
