A Wonderful Shot.

II remember" says Uncle Ezekiel,
when a boy that Uncle Josie Johnson,
while out cunning one day, got tired
and sat down by a large pine tree in
the Big Cove and fell asleep, but was
awakened by a noise and on looking
down at his feet saw large rattle
snake. Putting up his gun, he was
about to shoot when he saw a fine deer
about eight feet in front of him. He
then took aim at the deer, when sud-
denly he heard a great futtering over
head, and, looking up, he saw a large
flock of wild turkeys. He no sooner
saw them than he heard another noise
in the bushes at his right, and, looking
round, he saw big bear gazing at him.
Fearing that he was about to be de-
voured, he shot at the deer, when the
gun busted.
1.-THE bullet killed the deer, the lock
fell down the rattler's throat and chok-
ed him to death, the barrels shot up in
to the air and killed the wild turkeys,
the stock killed the bear by striking
him between the eyes, and the concl.s-
sion threw Uncle Josie backward.
when he landed OH his back in the
middle of brush heap, he found he
had killed 40 rabbits. 1t took a two
horse team to cart the game home."-
