 Gun Club Grounds Wonderful Exhibition of Expe1t and Fdncy ShOOtig- Free, and You 0)W Eniop Seeing t

Mir. and Mrs. Adolph Topperwein, the celebrated marksmen, will give an exhibition of expert and fancy shoot ing here, which everybody ought to see, as no such marvellous shooting has ever been done in this section.
 It will be revelation to all of the wonderful possibilities of modern arms and ammunition in the hands of the greatest experts. MT. Topperwein is the acknowledged dean of fancy and trick shots, and his many feats are of a highly sensational character. Mrs. Topperwein has no equal among women for adeptness in shooting. Ladies are especially urged to go and witness her astonishing skill with shotgun, rifle and pistol. Admission will be free to all
 Some idea of the unusual character of the exhibition given by the Topper veins will be gained from the follow ing remarks; Adolph Topperwein, the greatest living fancy and flying target shot with a rife, represents the Winchester Repeating Arms Co.,, and lives in San Antonio, Texas. His na- tive state has long been noted for its expert shooters and this penchant for shooting among Texans, added to his natural ability, undoubtedly accounts for the wonderful skill he displays He uses no special equipment, but ordinary Winchester rifles, shooting regular cartridges with solid ball; or, in other words, cartridges such as are sold by all dealers. He shoots at oranges, apples, bits of coal or brick, walnuts, small marbles, empty car fridge shells, and many other tiny ob- jects, which are all thrown into the air and hit with either rife or re :. volver.
 In the most remarkable exhibition of rifle shooting ever given, MT. Top perwein shot for ten days at 72,500 | 2 IA inch wooden blocks thrown into the air by an assistant, missing only 9 out of the entire lot.

Bobby promised. Ali day long
he looked preternatually grave un-

thus suddenly assumed. When
night came and he was suddenly
called to his prayers, the young

1t was not altogether a novel idea
on the part Of John W. Overall, Re-
publican candidate for Governor,
when he gathered together an au-
tomobile party and made a canvass
of the principal points in Maury
county in The interest of Mr.. Over
all's candidacy. One of the party
who seemed to be the mouthpiece
Of Mr.. Overall, was John Trotwood
Moore, the alleged humorist and
former close friend and business
partner Of the late Ex-Governor and
United States Senator, Robert L.
Taylor. From the talk that was
made when Taylor ran for Governor
and was beaten by Hooper, we are
almost tempted to believe that Our

him that his former chum is advo-
