Mr1e 'owler Killed Horse and
s With "Tixol." Gun
"a" Tad Strom Lectur-
ed on War.

Ter, whose COWS were infested with
ticks went to Augusta and pur-
chased from N. L.. Willett a prepa-
ration for destroying ticks, called
'Tixol" highly recommended as a
dip for destroying ticks, and en-
dorsed by the U. S. government, as
a proper, as well as safe application
for the destruction of the pesky
tick. Accordingly Mr.. Fowler, after
diluting "Tixal" proceeded to spray
his mare, and COWS and. in less than
twenty four hours, his mare, and
seven cows were dead in the pas
ture. In fact, all were dead, except
one upon which he applied ''Tixol."
Mr.. Fowler reported the matter to
Mr.. Willett who will doubtless take
the matter up with the manufactur-
er. We areno lawyer, but it seems
to me, the U. S. endorsement would
make the government, as we'll as
the manufacturers of "Tixol," re-
sponsible for damages.
On last Tuesday night, Uncle
Tad Strom delivered a lecture in
the Parodo hall on the hardshipe of,
or what he saw of the war between
the sections from '61 to '65, and let
me tell you he saw a great deal of
it. Uncle Tad was in more hot en-
gagements than any private I have
ever known, from 1st Manassas to
the evacuation of Richmond, at
which time he was taken prisoner,
being in service lacking only few
days of four years, being on fur
Tough only twice when severely
wounded. Uncle Tad exhibited the
minnie ball that tore up his face,
breaking to pieces his jaw bone, and
also displayed other relics of the
conflict that he highly prizes. Uncle
Tad was introduced by Col. w. J.
Talbert in beautiful tribute to the
patriots of the Lost Cause" and l
wish every young man in the coun-
ty could have heard Uncle Tad's
word-picture of the hardships un-
dergone by the Southern soldier.
He said it cannot be told, sung or
written, although he; brought tears
by it's recital and by singing its old
songs. No survivor saw more of its
hardships, and no drawer man ever
faced a cannon than Mr.. Thad
Strom.
