Dave Kennedy,s Luck.

The severe weather for the past few days has made duck hunting very popu- lar on the Alabama River. Many mal- Iards have been seen to pass over seek ing more congenial cline toward the Gulf. Four or five parties are now out in boats up and down the river and the report of how many ducks they have kill ed will not reach the city until the notil- las have returned. Mir. Dave Kennedy did not go out in skin to hunt ducks but when he went to the rear or his store this morning he saw a drove of five fine mallards slowly swimming under the bridge. making their way up the river. He secured a shot gun and then ran down toward the bridge.
 MT. Henry Parrish is a great sports man and he went along, accompanied by the representative of The Advertiser, to
 ee how many of the drove of five mall
 ards MT. Kennedy would bag. The
 lucks had swam across the river and
 we're splashing around in the back
 gater among the bushes on the opposite side of the river. On the way over the bridge, MT. Kennedy modestly told Mir. Parrish that he had never been much of a shot and asked that gentleman to use the gun. This Mir. Parrish generously declined to do and the three crept softly across the bridge until within shooting distance of the unsuspecting ducks. Are they not beautiful green head mallards, remarked MT. Kennedy as he lay his gun across the railing. Now watch me kIll the whole droYe." With that he fired and sure enough a duck Tapped around in the water and the other four arose to fly away But MT. Kennedy's sporting blood was up. The birds had not gotten ten feet from where the first one was before the other barrel was discharged and the amateur hunter had scored with both barrels.
 "Aint that bully" remarked Mir. Ken nedy as he saw his ducks float slowly down toward the bridge. But his joy was turned into mourning a moment later when he saw the other three ducks light at the mouth of the gas works sewer, stretch their necks and quack as geese always do when they are frightened.
 In about two hours the old colored woman who owns the drove of geese came down from her little cabin on the bank of the river near the Southern freight depot. She had seen the shoot ing from her door and after a little detective work she located MT. Kennedy and he cheerfully paid her a couple of dollars for the two geees and told her she might have the birds If she would send across the river and get them.
