OK. OILXOIUC SHOT DKAD IT 1118
In a street battle (ought in Sparta last
Tuesday, Dr. W. B. Gilmore lost his life
and Hon. Jnlian Wert, representative of
Haaoock county, Hr. Amea and young
Gilmore was seriously wounded.
If the great political campaign in
which congressman Thomas Watson
went down sent a wave of excitement
into every corner of the district, the
tragedy whieh capped that battle, and
^ln which ooe of Watson’s lieutenants
went down, has rolled into a rumbling
quake. Mr. Gilmore was a resident of
Washington county, and was one of the
strongest of Mr. Watson’s supporters.
Daring the campaign he issued a circu
lar ia which the private character of
some of the leading citizens of Sparta
and Hancock county were alluded to in
nothing less than obscene terms.
THE ATTACK OX WEST.
The Ishmaelite threw off the slur in a
frazzling rejoinder and Dr. Gilmore re
newed the attack, enlarging the scope of
bis charges and 'referring to the record
of Hon. Julian West in a most insulting
way. The two men met for the first
time on yesterday afternoon and Mr.
West asked Dr. Gilmoreif he was not
the author of the article. Dr. Gilmore
admitted the authorship and Mr. Wert
demanded a retraction. Dr. Gilmore
iterated his published statements, where
upon Mr. West slapped his face.
FIRING BEOISa.
An instant latec all was confusion.
Dr. Gilmore slashed out his pistol and
fired at Mr. .West. His two sons also
opened fire on Mr. West and the two
policemen who were rushing toward the
scene. Mr. West and Dr. Gilmore had
grappled and no one knows who fired the
deadly shot. The evidence ltefore the
coroner’s jury showed that 31 r. West
totally nnarmed and that Dr. Gilmore
was killed by a ball from his aon’i
tol. The oldest son fired one shot and
ran .away, and this shot is supposed to
to have done the deadly work. The po
lice succeeded in arresting the two young
Gilmores, who were placed in jail. They
were liberated this morning to attend
their father’s funeral this evening.
A PECULIAR INCIDENT.
A peculiar feature ot the shooting
the fact that the only shot fired by Dr.
Gilmore passed through the window of
the Ishmaelite office and would have
struck Editor I^ewis, a most hated oppo
nent, had that gentleman imA keen ah- j
sent from the city.
The affair is generally regretted by
the good people of Sparta, who, despite
this abuse and slander of Watson and
bis followers, are a brave and patient
people. It was such a tragedy as is lia
ble to happen in any community and
that it was not worse in Vs results is due
more to the conservatism of democrats
generally than to any lack of fcpxtical
desperation on the part of 3Ir. Watson
or his followers.
suitableness we^s-^H^lrhen the old,
time-honored custotnoi Christmas giv
ing descends into a mere formality and
e feel, as a'young lady said the other
day, “Pshaw! I must get something for
Nannie Bw, for she always gives me some
thing,” it loses much of Its sacred in
tent.
'Every man, according as he porpos-
eth in his heart, so let him give, not
grudgingly or of necessity, for God loveth
a cheerful giver, should animate our gifts
to our fellow-man as well as to the Lord.”
In our selections of Christmas presents
whether they be of a strictly useful or
ornamental or luxurious character, let
them be well chosen, that they may be
acceptable, and let the spirit of good
cheer, which betokens “Peace on earth
and good will to man,” accompany them
this, the gladdest of all the seasons oi
the year. Fannie B. Gray.

J. T. PKLMER
Selecting Christmas Presents.
Modern inventions in art and manu
factures have produced, at a trifling
cost, so many beautiful as well as useful
things that everyone with even moderate
. mean* can enjoy the blessedness of giv
ing Christmas presents, and the wonder
ful variety of old Santa’s supplies af.
fords us a fine opportunity to exercise
our good sense as well as our taste. But
how little knack we oiteu display i
lecting appropriate gifts.
I had never thought so much about
the importance of a proper adaptation
of our gifts until one Christmas eve,
calling upon an acquaintance, a widow,
dependent upon her needle for the sup
port of herself and three children. I
helped her unpack a box she had jnst
received from a rich relative in a neigh
boring town, and witnessed her disap
pointment when we unwrapped two
handsome bisque figures for her, some
expensive mechanical toys for the chil
dren, with a box of fine French candy.
I shall never forget how eagerly she
shook oat the excelsior and examined
the biu of paper, peeped into every crev
ice, and even emptied out the candy in
hopea somewhere might be stowed away
aa a surprise something—a handkerchief,
a pair ot gloves, a grateful check—any
thing she needed end could me. But it
was of no avail; there was nothing but
the dainty figures, puzzling toys and
candy, and she sighed as she set them
away. What a mockery such things
seem to a person who is pressed to pay
house rent and grocery bills, and has to
boy clothes, etc. Quite in contrast
another Christmas eve I can recall,
friend in need hearing her door bell
ring aharply, and suspecting it was some
mischievous boy playing his Christmas
pranks, hastened to the door to catch
him if possible. No one was in sight,
however, but to.her surprise she found
fine turkey' securely tied to the door
knob by a ribbon—with a five-dollar
hill attached to it and marked “For stuff
ing." Her appreciation of the gift was
fhlly attested by the comfort and enjoy
ment it afforded her and her fiunily the
asst day.
Often we rack our brains and ransack
the stores weeks before Christmas to boy
someth iug which we perhaps think a
. very aloe present for a friend, and be-
canaawa have not studied his want or
bit taste, it proves unsatisfactory. It ia
not the most expensive gifts which con
fer the most pleasure or benefit; it is the
motive which- impels them, and their
PROFESSIONAL CARDS.
