Uncle Billie Gilliland, the picturesque editor of the Baird Star died Monday morning after a long and eventful career. His type of character, his style of writing, and his outspoken convictions are seldom seen in this age. He had opinions and never hesitated to express them, yet he yielded to the will of the majority.
