Maybank and Mrs. MaybanlS and MT. Oscar M. Kilby, son of Alabama s distinguished governor. Hon. Thomas Erby Kilby and Mrs. Kilby. Because of the prominence of the two families and the popularity of the young couple who plight their troth on June i, at the First Presbyterian church in Anniston, the wedding will be or statewide interest and will be one of the most brilliant ever occurring in the church from when so many charming Annistonians have launched forth upon their welded life.

PAINTING PRESENTED TO CLUB


 The most pleasing feature of the opening of the Fishermen's and Hunt ing club last Saturday on the War rior river was the gift to the club by Miss Julia Zema Hill of a picture portraying Hiawatha and Minnehaha. This work of art is one of the best that Miss Hill has ever drawn and its execution took one month of her time It is five feet by four feet, and is encircled by massive frame. Miss Hill came from her home in McComb,
 Miss. to present this work of her genius to the Alabama Fishermens and Hunting club, and while in Bir- mingham was the guest of her uncle, MT. l.. P. Hill, editor and proprietor of the Ensley Enterprise. The pre-
 sentation was made at the flag rais- ing, and the picture was received by MT w. G. Oliver, president of the club in an eloquent speech of thanks The members of the club were deeply impressed with the merit of the gift and its appropriateness to the occa- sion. It Is hoped that the picture
 will be brought to the city and ex-
 hibited for a time in the office of President Oliver, so that the admirers of the young artist may have the pleasure of enjoying its artistic fea- lures.
 Miss Hill is not only an artist of genius but is a most attractive young lady, whose gentleness of manner and sweetness of speech would indicate that she has imbibed the delicacy of her art--her queenly manner would grace the Court of St. James. Her selection of the subject for this pie ture was an inspiration. for Long fellows poem breathes the spirit of the forest primevar' and the music of the waters The colors are rich and are blended in exquisite har- mony. Hiawatha was the great chief
 who protected the waters of their streams and the leafy forest from the destructive hand of the ruthless in
 vader. and this same protectiot of fish and game Is the prime object Of
 the Fishermen's and Hunting club. Minnehaha means "laughing waters"
 an appropriate name for the clear
 waters of the Warrior river. The picture represents Hiawatha walking in the forest with his pro- tecting arm about Minnehaha. On the bolton margin is written the fol-
 lowing quotation from his immortal poem:
 "As unto the bow the cord Is. So unto man Ia woman:
 Thourh she bends him. she obeys
 him;
 Thorrh she draws him. yet she
 foliows--
 Useless each without tho other" D. B. c.

A renewed and revived interest for
hunting and hunting dogs has been
shown in Kansas, and especially in
Topeka in the last season. Shawnee
county issued more hunting licenses
last year than ever before, the num-
Der being about 3.400. This condition
was true also thruout the entire state,
the number issued being between 40,
900 and $4,000. Probably many more
thousands hunt who do not think it
essential to spend the dollar. which
is the amount one plunks down for

out in quest of game anywhere with
in the boundaries of the state: pro-
vided, of course, that the proper per
mission has been granted by the own
er of the land on which the hunter

est in hunting. guns and dogs had
been at low ebb. For years prior to

conceded to be one of the grandest
game birds in the world. The quail
were protected also until two years
ago. when the legislature granted a
ten-day open season on them each
year. This law. however. was repealed
by the legislature of 1921.
The law, as it now stands. permits
the shooting of quail for ten days in
December of each even numbered
year. and the shooting of prairie
chicken for ten days each year. There

Demand for aGood Blood.
Interest in shooting means also an
interest in the shooting dog. Quite
a number of good ones are now seen
in this vicinity. Two or three years
ago dog with a pedigree was a
rarity, and anyone parting with as
much as a five dollar note for a cantre
friend was considered to be rather
loose with his cash. At the present
time in Topeka there are quite a
number of hunting dogs that cost the
proud owners many times q five dollar
made when the dog was eight or ten
weeks of age. OF course such dogs
are generally closely related to ones
that have made a reputation in the
field trials, and consequently their
blood is in demand.
Twenty-Five or thirty years ago good
hunting dogs were quite common.
Game was plentiful and there was
an open season each year. 1t is
claimed by some of the "old timers
that there is now more game than
for many years. This and the open
season granted by the state no doubt
is the cause of the rising popularity
