Remarkable Eyesight. Roland Gaines is not only a good marksman, but he possesses the most remarkable eyesight of any man of our acquaintance. Wtoile other peo ple came to town last Friday to Tom Harris Roland went to Broad river to fish and hunt. He was standing on this side of the river when he spied a turtle of the soft shell variety on a rock near the other bank. The river Is about 500 feet wide at this point. Roland grab bed un his trustv rifle, put It to his shoulder and shot Mr. Turtle near the tail. We know Roland hit him near the tall because Roland says he saw the bullet hit him. At any rate Mr. Turtle tumbled into the water and disappeared from view. Present ly he climbed up on the rock again and Roland let fire again, hitting him in the back this time. The tur tle got mad. He didn’t like such treatment a little bit. So he started toward Roland bent on mischief. This proved his undoing for as he swam toward Roland, when he had gotten close enough for Roland to nut the muzzle of the gun against his head Roland did so and fired, killing him instantly. The turtle measured four feet and four Inches in dreumferanee and weighed eighte°n pounds. We know he made mighty "•ooii soun. because Roland was kind plough to send over some turtle to the editor.
