The remains wen- carried home and on yesterday they were buried in the Churchyard ?it Sandy Springs. Mr. Moore wast?:! years of age. and always lived in the Sandy Springs section. He served through the war as a mem ber of Orrs Regiment, and was a brave soldier. He was a most excellent citi zen, and was highly esteemed by all of his friends and acquaintances. Since his young manhood he had been a de voted member of the Methodist Church. A wife and eight children are left to cherish his memory, and in their sore bereavement they have thc sympathies of all their friends. Mr. Eugene Eskcw, who is one of the leaders of the 2nd S. C. Regiment Band, now stationed in Cuba, in writ ing to one of his cousins a few days ago, says: "Last Thursday we (our band) boys secured a pass and went up to Havana to view thc sights of that old city. We sailed in boats, went across the harbor, landed at Fort Ca baniss entrance and went all through the fort. From there we went to Moro Castle and were shown through if. We spent three or lour hours at these old forts, and it was certainly a most interesting sight. I found a Spanish poison cartridge in Fort Cabaniss. From the top of Moro Castle a line view is presented. From the forts we sailed around the gunboat "Nashville" and warship "Texas." but did not have time to go on board. We also saw the great steed floating dock, on which was a large ship, high and dry out of the water. The way they get the ship into the dock is by sinking thc dry dock and then run the ship in. Then the water is pumped out of the dock, which rises again and brings the ship 'up out of the water. We sailed around the "Maine7' but could sec nothing ex cept a part of the old iron frame. We next visited the Governor General's palace to see the remains of Garcia, but failed to see them. Havana is a large city and a pretty place. The buildings are mostly old style and the streets arc very narrow. The side walks of nearly all the streets are not wide enough for two persons to walk abreast at the same time.'" The announcement of thc death of Capt. James W. Poore, which occurred ?it his home in Kelton last night at 8 o'clock, will be read with sorrow throughout Anderson County, for he is well known and most highly esteemed. For the past two months he has been confined to his home with a complicated disease, and at times was a great suf ferer. His death has been expected at any hour for a week or more. The funeral services will beheld to-morrow at ll o'clock a. m. in the Helton Baptist Church, of which he had long been a consistent, energetic nu inlier and otli cer. Capt. Poore was boru in this County in 1844. His boyhood days were spent on the farm, where he re mained until the breaking out ol' the war. when he immediately volunteered his services to the State. He served throughout the war in Hampton's Cavalry, and made a gallant soldier. At the close of the war he returned to Belton and began clerking in a store. Later he entered business on his own account, being in partnership with Mr. A. J. Stringer for about twenty years. Success crowned his eftbyts and he ac cumulated a good estate. In 1808 he married Miss Cox, who. with ti ve chil dren, survives him. By his death An derson County loses one of her best citizens, and his memory will long be cherished by his many friends. He was ready and willing at all times to help in any manner the welfare of his f ellowmen and his county. Belton will miss him. and his Church will miss him. He has gone io reap the rewards of a well-spent life. We render our sympathy to the loved ones in their sore bereavement. Death of Capt. McFall.
