A Perznanent Tsazaar.

The Ladies' Bazaar is still on the
BOOM this morning, and will con-
tinue open through the day and
close tonight. IL is a great success
and we congratulate the ladies on
it, but we wish to remind them and
the people generally that right
next door there is a permanent ha-
zaar which is always open, and
which surpasses anything of the
kind ever before displayed in
GAINESVILLE. We refer'to the grand
display of beautiful holiday goods
and choice Christmas presents
spread out to your view in the ca
pacious store of Mr.. G. L. Cooke.
These goods consist of a great num-
Der of novelties and unique designs
in jeweiry and silverware not found
in any other stock in the city. 1t
would simply take one whole side
of this paper to attempt 10 enumer-
ate even one-half of what he dis
piavs in his showcases and on his
counters for the inspection of the
public. 1t will do your heart good
just to step in and view his collec-
ton of watches, lockets, earrings,
finger rings, pendants, breastpins
and thousand of those beautiful
and artistic designs in jewely which
go so far to adorn "the female form
divine" In short if you contem-
plate making a Christmas present
of any kind you must not fail to
call in at Cookies and look over his
stock. You cannot fail to see
something that will please your
taste. In his china and fancy de-
partment the show is simply grand.
There you will see the most mag
nificent sets of table china and |
toilet articles, novelties in japanese
ware, articles of virtu and bric-a-
brac which will charm and please
the most fastidiousi taste. There is
an endless variety of shape and ma
terial displayed in all his goods.
To those who are acquainted with
this energetic, clever merchant we
need not speak OF the reception and
they VIII receive when
they visit his establishment, but to
the public generally we say go tosee
Cooke before you buy your Christ
mas goods. His store is a regular
bazaar within itself.

town, between the gate keeper, Mr..
w. J. Phillips and MIR. J. n. Heath
man, a young inan who lived near
Woodford in the eastern part Of the
county in which the latter was IA
tally shot by Phillips with a pistol,
the ball taking effect in his neck,
ranging through and downward
and striking the spinal chord at
the base of the neck, causing paraly-
sis of the body. We are unable to
get at the full particulars of the un-
fortunate affair, their being, of
course, various rumors as to the
cause which led to the shooting. 1t
scenes to be generally agreed, how
ever, that the difficulty arose in re-
gard to Heathrnan not paying toll.
The parties are said to have had a
dispute upon this subject in town
during the day, which was renewed
when Heathman arrived at the gate
on his way home.
The friends of young Heathman
claim that the shooting was hasty
and unprevoked, whereas on the
other side it is claimed that Heath
man abused and attacked Phillips,
going so far as to enter his house
and strike him, and that Phillips
acted in self-defence. AS the pre-
liminary trial of Phillips is set for
hearing to-day before Esquire S. a..

statements of either side in detail,

ately out, and in company with DIR.
J. w. Payne, who was on his way
home from the city, and DIR. Moody

wounded man as comfortable as
possible. The wound was pronounc-
ed very dangerous one, and very
little hope was ever entertained for
the wounded mans life. He was
to his home on Tuesday
morning, where he died that night
at s o'clock.

airs for his appearance here to-day. |

ed hardly month ago, died after a
brief illness at the home place of
her grandfather, the late DIR. Bell of
Christian county, on last Monday
afternoon. Her sad death follow
ing so soon after that of her lamen-
ted husband IS indeed load of sor-
row almost too heavy for her rela-
tives to bear. She was a lady COM
handing the respect and deep love
of all who knew her. The early
death of her husband weighed heav-
lily on her young heart, and ceasing
almost to be in love with life or
caring for the world she has passed
away to silence and pathetic dust.
To those who were near her we ex-
tend our sincere sympathy.

ANOTHER frightful bridge disas-

ANOTHER frightful bridge disas-
fer is reported. This time occurring
at st. Charles Mo-, about twenty
miles above ST. Louis. The rail-
road bridge over the Missouri river,
at that place gave way, preeipitat-
ing a stock train consisting of en-
CINE and thirty-one cars, mostly
loaded with live stock into the river
below. There were only six men
on the Inflated train at the time of
the accident, three of whom were
in the caboose at the rear end of the
train and jumped off before she
went down, the other three, consist
ing of the engineer, fireman and
one brakeman accompanied the
train in its wild leap of sixty-ffve
feet into the rivers channel. Strange
to say the fireman and brakeman
escaped to fell the tale of their awful
experience, though irightfully bruis-
ed and mangled. The engineer stuck
to his post at the throttle aud was
either killed by the fall of his en-
CINE, or drowned by the raging 7iv-
er. The cause of the fearful catas-
trophe will probably remain one of
those inexplicable mysteries which
can never be solved, The bridge
was new and was regarded as one
of the most substantially built on
the whole line of the road.
