THE GUN.
Formation of an Inanimate-Target
Association = Notes.

Association = Notes.
Trap shooting, SO called, is gaining in
popularity. Each Saturday and Sunday
clubs organized for this particular branch
OF sport meet at their respective shooting
grounds and enjoy many hours of sport,
either in grassing live birds or smashing
inanimate targets.
To-day the Alameda County Gun Club
will hold live-pigeon shoot at the Oak
land track, and tomorrow the shooting
contests announced are: Empire Gun Club,
at Alameda Point; Nimrod Gun Club, at
Bay View, and Olympic Gun Club, at Oak
land track. On Wednesday the Country
Club will shoot pigeons at Oakland track.
On the 18th the San Francisco Gun Club
will shoot at birds at Oakland track, and
on the 10th the Recreation Gun Club will
burn powder at the same place.
AS inanimate-targe shooting is fast
taking the place of tame" pigeon shoot
ing, the following letter addressed to the
Gun Clubs and Sportsmen's associations
of this City and State by the secretary of
the Olympic Gun Club with the view of

sport Is well known, and the Olympic Gun

East, and 1t could be known as the California

snooting IN this State. Each affiliated club
would nave representation by delegates to the
board of governors or such other goyernine
body as might be agreed upon,

a thorough canvass of the State and

enter the scramble the eleventh houl
and attempt to pluck the prize, with
no expense to himself and friends
We do not believe the members of the
next two Houses of tho Legislature
freshly from and the direct Represen
tatives of the people will tolerate any
thing of the kind. All who have
watched conventions and legislative
bodies in late years will know that
dark horses are not in as good favor as
in the old times. 1t seems to be the
general opinion of the people, that if a
person is desirous of an office, it is in.
cumbent upon him to come to the front
and ask for it, by stating his position
on all great leading questions plainly,
squarely and above board from num-
Der OF stumps throughout the State.
Again, it seems to be a case of
equity and poetic justice, that the sue
cessor of Gen. George should be select
ed from the five gentlemen above
named-gentlemen every one of whom,
came to Gen. Georges rescue and did
valient work, for Democracy and self
Government, during the great Sub
Treasury campaign that swept over
Mississippi in the summer Of :9l.
Let the uninstructed vote and whole
OF both Houses of the Legislature of
96 remember that the eyes of all Mis-
sisslppi will be upon them, and shall
expect each man to do his duty and
his full duty. Our preference is for
Hon: H. D. Money, simply because we
think he is the logical and most fitted
man for the place, but if it is impossi-
Die to nominate him, then see to it,
that one of the other three is made the
nominee: We have high regard for
Mr.. McLaurin's ability as man,
lawyer and legislator, but we are not
one OF those who think all the honors
OF our commonwealth should be given
to one man. Let it not 60 out and be
said upon the highways Of tie Union
that Mississippi has but one statesman
within her borders who is capable of
representing her in the greatest and
most powerful legislative body on

of the South during the war as shall be
a convincing proof of their unparalleled
patriotism. We earnestly request
your aid in this work OF love, and beg
that you will call a meeting of the

battle field; and any and everything
which will help to tell the story OF
woman's life during that great strug-
gle. Samples of starch and candles
might be made after the Confederate
receipts. This list of woman's work,
we doubt not, suggest a great many
things which we do not now recall to
mind. Gifts of money however small
are greatly needed and earnestly de-
sired. Apply to Mrs. Plane for tags

WHEN THE NEGRO WAS CREATED

The Mexican Indians, as we'll as
those of most OF the Central American
Republics, have superstition to the
effect that the negro was made before
even the white man or the Indian, or
even before the sun was created. They
account for his color by declaring that
he was made and dried in the dark
Their own race, they say, was made in
the morning OF the first day, between
daylight and sun up. On this account
they delight in term which they ap-
ply to each other, and which signifies
dawn people," The white man,
"who fears darkness and cannot stand
heat, was made, according to their
belief, at noon, on the first day Of crea-
tion.
