When the bird season, opens up again
our Junior and Mr. Jas. L. Wagner are
goingto have a shooting match to see
which will have to “root the peg.” It is
a tie as it now stands. They both went
out with good intentions to kill or muti
late every dove within 4 miles of Mr.
Pitts Newton’s place on Friday last.
They managed to kill about 4 boxes of
cartridges, but the dove- are still ‘‘chew
ing corn at the same old stand,” while
J >e and the Junior have their arms in a
sling from the incessant jar of “banging
away” at imaginary objects which never
r* ached the earth. Joe says his caps
got wet, and every good shot he would
get the old gun would fail to fire, hut
the smoke over in his neighborhood
won’t bear out hi* rssertiou. We are
confident somebody lowered the sight
ou our gun, however, as we shot just
about half an inch below every bird,
and Andrew MoClendou says he picked
up about two j.ecks of bird's feet iu the
vicinity of where we bombarded. Joe
can't beat us shooting, and that’s all
there is iu it! He may beat us trading
she.ls at the rate of three for adore, but
when it come to shooting, we can load
and shoot as quick as any man in Butts
county, and that’s all we weutout there
to do! Joseph, we’ll see you later 1
