Who Has The Hat?

L
Dunlap hat No. size. He wore it a
time or two and hung it as he thought
on the hat rack at home.
His old hat still being serviceable
DR.. Harris put it on and has been
wearing it ever since until Il day or
two ago When he went to get his
new hat he found another one instead
exactly where he put it-and how
and when the exchange was made is
what puzzles our friend.
The hat he has is Dunlap, winter
style, No. g. not as new as his but a
better hat than it is fit. hence he
wants to get back his own. And
doubtless the other fellow is equally
DESTROYS to make the exchange for
the sake OF conformity to the size and
shape of his head, however satisfied
he might otherwise be with the trade.
so, if this item comes under the
notice Of the gentleman who has DR..
Harris hat he is hereby notified that
DR.. Harris has his. and if the two will
arrange a meeting, with or without a
flag of truce, each may recover his
own property and both be made glad
in the possession thereof.

The Best Shot on Record.
The newspapers lately have been pub
fishing the results of the best shooting
at traps by the American crack shots.
The South was we'll represented and
made some good winnings. These rec
OrdS like all others we have noticed in a
half century are not fairly comparable
to the one we know Ofthat occurred about
1916. DR.. Willis Lewis, of Oxford n. C.,
was invited by a gentleman in Hruns-
wick county, Va, large farmer, to hunt
with him for cartridges. 1t was an out
door sport and no trap business. Each
had his own dog and gun. They shot
one morning only and atabout / o'clock
returned to the residence to dine and
count birds. The result as well remem-
bered was this: DR.. Lewis had missed
once and killed 81 cartridges; the farmer
had missed twice and killed 80 birds.
That closed the contest, the host saying
that he was satisfied that his guest was
the better shot. We have no doubt that
DR.. Lewis was the best shot with the
hunting gun that was ever born or ever
lived in North Carolina, and perhaps the
best OF all American bird-hunters. His
shooting was always excellent as we have
often Witnessed BulI-bats afforded him
no amusement, so he fired at the little
bats that lodged about and were very
swift on wing. DR.. Lewis died year or
two since at Henderson, \. C.-Wiiming-
ton Messenger.
The editor Of the GOLD LEAF has
often heard DR.. Lewis speak of the
incident related above by DR.. Kings
bury, as we'll as others of similar
nature, He was unquestiOnably a
very tine shot and his performances
with the gun, shooting birds as they
were found wild in the field, were not
to be mentioned in connection with
trap or live pigeon shooting so tame
is the latter sport in comparison.
The Brunswick farmer referred to
was Mr.. W. p. Rawlings, who is still
living. Although now past so years
of age perhaps he was until within
| the past few years wonderfully sue
| cessful hunter and as fond of the
sport as in his Younger days. But
though an Old man now and unable
to engage in field sports Mr.. Rawlings
still dispenses the hospitality of a
Virginian of the old school. says his
home paper. the Lawrenceville G"zette.
