A TRAGEDY IN HENDERSON.
CRASH! GOES WATSON'S GUN
AND BASK EFT FALLS
To the Sidewalk Mortally Wounded.
The Two Men Had Had An
Alteration This Morn
ing at Baskets Farm.

Henderson, N. c., March ia
terrible shooting affray took place
here this afternoon in front of the
pCstofce on Main street. Mr.. w.
T. Watson and Mr.. Joseph Basket
were the parties engaged, both farm
ers living near here.
They had an alteration relative
to land on Mr.. Baskets farm this
morning, and Mr.. Watson was shot
in the neck, but not seriously. He
came to Henderson, had his wound
dressed and returned home.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon the
two met in front of the postofice,
Mr.. Watson firing at sight. The shot
would have penetrated Baskets
heart but for Mr.. A. G. Zollicoffer,
who happened to be near, knocking
the barrel of the gun down.
The streets were crowded but none
of the load struck any one. Mr..
Basket fell just in front of DR.. Tuck
er's Office and was at once attended
by the doctors, while Mr.. Watson
was taken to Jail.
Both men are married and have
families.
Later:-Mrs. Watson did not bring
Mr.. Watson to town as reported, but
came in carriage to stop him and
arrived just as he shot J. B. Basket.
The doctors here operated upon Bas-
ket, but have given up all hope, as
the shot turned upward into his alb
domen.

LIFE'S REAL DUTY.

On the whole, we are inclined to
the belief that any one who thinks
the world is growing worse must
have either a very limited outlook,
or else be something of mental
hypochOndriac. And the way to
make the world grow better, any
how, is not by crying out that it is
growing worse.
Optimism is a duty which every
man owes to himself and to his
neighbor. Not random, driveling
optimism, which is species of hyp-
ocrisy, frequently affected, but the
real kind, which sees the bad in the
world and the good in the world at
the same time, and in their proper
relations: which goes quietly and
hopefully to work, without getting
hysterical about the matter, at doing
all that it can to remedy Or prevent
the one; and which can enjoy the
presence of the other in light-heart.
ed manner.
And the next best thing to being
optimistic, if you can't be really SO
is to pretend you are-toput up rat
tling good bluff at it in the face o
life, death, time and eternity.

A PECULIAR WILL.
A MOTHER CUTS HER CHILD
OFF IN WILL. @@
There is Clause in the Document
Directing the Executor to Pur-
chase Her Daughter a
Calico Dress.

Asheville, N. c., March 21.-
There was an interesting will offered
for probate in the office of the Clerk
of the Superior Court of Buncombe
county Saturday afternoon. It was
the last will and testament of Mrs.
Samantha Wilson, a we'll known
resident of Asheville, who died sew
eral monts ago. Although Mrs. Will
sons estate is quite valuable, by the
terms of the will she cuts her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Clara Featherstone, off
with "calico dress" and bequests
all her personal property to Miss o.
Chatam, of Elkin, Surry county.
For several years before her death
Mrs. Wilson entertained a strong
dislike for her daughter by reason, it
is said, of litigation between the de-
ceased and her husband, and as a re-
suit of this dislike Mrs. FeatherstOne
was not given a child's part. The
clause in the will relating to the
part the daughter shall receive is as
follows:
81 direct that my executor herein
after named, purchase one calico
dress of the value of one dollar and
give it to my daughter, Mrs. Clara
M. Featherstone.'
The deceased assigns as the cause
in which she alleges she was treated

LITTLE SORREL." !"

Brief History of General "Stonewall''
Jackson's War Horse.
Richmond Times-Dispatch.
One of the most noted war horses
known to history in the annals of the
Southern Confederacy is the chestnut
gelding Fancy, or "Little Sorrel,"
as the horse was affectionately named
by the second corps. He was owned
by General T. J. Jackson, who felI
from Little Sorrel's back at Chancel-
lorsville mortally wounded, after
riding him safely through the battles
of First Manassas, Kernstown, Nc
Dowell, Winchester, Port Republic,
Cross Keys, on the Chickahominy, at
Cedar Mountain, Second Manassas,
Sharpsburg, Harper's Ferry, Fred
ericksburg, and at last at Chancellors-
vile.
General T. J. Jackson, "Stone-
WALL" was wounded on this horse on
the night of May 2, 1868, and passed
away seven days later, aged 80 years.
After General Jackson was wounded,
Little Sorrel escaped into the Federal
lines, and was recaptured the follow
ing morning by the second corps,
under command of J. e. B. Stuart.
Little Sorrel was presented to the
Soldiers Home, Richmond, Va, in
1884, by General Jackson's widow,
Mrs. Mary Anna Jackson, of Char
lotte, N. G. He was exhibited at
the New Orleans Exposition in 1885,
after which he was returned to the
Soldiers Home, where he died in
November, 1887, at the age Of thirty
six years. After his death the body
of Little Sorrel was carefully pre-
pared by a taxidermist, and now,
| mounted and shown in glass case,
forms an object of interest to visitor
from many different sections and
| climeS.

Dear Sir: There are these five
ways of badness in paint:
(1) stuffed-out with chalk, or
something like that;
(2) barytes, better than chalk, but
no covering to it; nobody knows it's
there;
(3) benzine in the oil, or water, or
other such stuff1ing;
(4) too thin-too much liquid,
whatever it is, for the solid;
(5) short measure;
Now will you buy by the price per
"gallon?'
