Young Teacher Dead:  Prof W Harvey Moore, one of the successful young teachers in the public schools of this county, died at the home of his parents, five miles east of Bonifay, last Friday night about eight o'clock of typhoid fever.

Prof Moore has taught with much success in the public schools of this and adjoining counties for the past three or four years, but for the past three months, we understand, he has held a position with the government in the capacity of mail clerk in the southern part of the state.  He had fever several days before he stopped work, but finally was compelled to quite and in the hope of regaining health and strength he returned home.  He was improving nicely until the day of his death when he had a violent hemorrhage which came on early in the morning and lasted until the hour he died.  The remains were interred at the Bethel cemetery in Washington county last Saturday.

The many friends of the deceased throughout the county will learn of his untimely demise with saddened hearts, as he was an ideal young man and made many friends whereever (sic)  he went.
