remarkable form this year. Mr. Young has accepted

Gadsden Gun Club. 
The fourth shoot of the Gadsden Gun Club for this 
season was held Thursday afternoon at the club grounds 
at Elliott Park. Only a few of the faithful were on 
hand, and those present experienced some of the hardest 
shooting ever seen over the local traps. An extremely 
high wind kept the targets on the jump the entire 
afternoon, which accounts for some low scores which 
were made. E. C. Little was high gun, getting 45 out 
of 50 shot at. J. S. Paden was next in line with 43 out 
of 50. C. L. Gunn was not shooting up in his usual 
good form, as he only got 33 out of his 50. Dr. Walter 
Gunn, of the Guntersville Gun Club, was -a visitor with 
us and he demonstrated to our satisfaction that they 
have some good shooters in his town. The scores:
