Capt. J. Henry Smith, the we'll known
tobacco man and politician. has a good
joke on the members of the Paducah
Gun Club. He has been going TO the
club shoots for three or four years, but
only as an onlooker.
At the shoot last week Mr.. Smith was
invited TO shoot, and on declining. his
friend, DR.. James Lang, compelled him
to. Capt. Smith reluctantly obeyed and
succeeded in beating them all, veterans
and novices alike, despite the kicking
proclivities Of DIR. Langs gun. 1t was a
hard matter to tell which end was goins
