SHOOTING HERE FRIDAY

An exhibition of fancy shooting
will be given in Maryville Friday
afternoon at 2 80 o'clock, by Adolph
Topperwein, the world famous fancy
shot. The shooting will be held on
the K. P. Jones property just beyond
the McGhee hill. This will be treat
for all shooters and the public is in
vited to attend.
Possibly Mr.. Topperwein's most re-
markable shooting with rifle was at
San Antonio, in July, 1917, when he
shot eight hours day for ten days,
and only missed nine in 78,500 2 IA
inch wooden blocks that were tossed
25 feet in the air by an assistant
When Topperwein began it was his
intention to shoot at 5000 targets a
day for ten days, and to create a
worlds record for his line of shoot
ing. The score paid no attention as
the thousands rolled by, and it was in
the 1000 block that Topperwein made
his first miss, so then the decision
was made to shoot 1900 day, unless
the ammunition ran out, which was
what happened Out of the first 50,-
900 blocks shot at he missed only
four. Not only did Topperwein shoot
at the blocks, but he loaded his Win
chester each and every one of the
72,500 times.
