Og Hightower Dies
Og Hightower died at his home near Snapping Shoals in Henry County last Sunday from the effects of a dose of wood alcohol. He got the alcohol from a drug store here to make some liniment, and he decided to drink some of the fluid, not knowing, perhaps, of its deadly poison, and died as above stated.
Mr. Hightower lived in Jackson, a few years ago, his wife dying while here. He was here Saturday and traded horses while here. His friends were, therefore very much surprised to learn of his death.
