RING SHOOTERS ASSOCIA
TON.
On Thursday last was the
monthly shoot of the Narrow
Shore Ring Shooters Associa~
ton. This shoot was held for
the benefit of the widows and
orphans of the Sons of Rest.
The rendezvous was at Little
MorgaG's, and most enjoyable
time and successful shoot was
the result
Among the prominent SPORTS
men present were VIM. Henry
Parker, Democratic District
leader; E. w. Baum, the popu~
lar Popu,ist, J. J. Uun,on, tie
m.I!:-naire cattIeman, II. Wars

Wilson, the noted sculptor an
artist Capt. John James Parker,
owner Of the yacht Victory !;
Capt. Beckwith Dunton of the
Neversink; Jesse Parker, the
we'll known yacht builder and
designer Of speedy racing yachts,
and many others. In fact, Mar
row Shore, from Parker's Creek
to Van Stocks, wa~ represented
by its best citizens and best
shots.
Upon the return of the party,
however, il was found that the
Duck Buyers Syndicate had
been keeping all eye on this ag
gregation of marksmen, and the
price of boobies had been put
down from 81 20 to 50 cents per
pair.
A finance committee consist
ing of Capt. Josiah Hampton
and Capt. J. !. Parker, was app
pointed to confer with the syn
dictate, and after long confer
enCe a compromise was agreed
on, the syndicate agreeing to
take six thousand pairs at IS
cents per pair.
MIR. w. H. Hampton, of
Church's Island, represented the
syndicate and gave his personal
check III settlement. The check
was at once turned ove1 to Pres
A. S. Doaner, Of the Sons of
Rest, and the balance of the
game was divided among the
members OF the association.
This is probably the largest
single transaction in ducks in
Currituck this season. Next
week another shoot will be held
for the benefit of the Work Hat
ers League, a young organiza~
ton, but worthy and deserving.

Sheriff K Blair.
Adam was captured at Deer Creek,
and has been confined in the Jail at

Burson became separated from his
