The tawk tree near W. D. Gay’s
store on Highway 64 has created
quite a lot of curiosity.
The 35 hawks hanging on the
tree or on the ground surrounding
the tree have caused many a per
son traveling along the highway to
stop and look.
These hawks were killed by one
man, Paul Hall of Troy. He killed
them with a 20.70 sporting rifle
with a telescopic sight.
Hall said he killed as many as
four in one day, some as far as
300 yards distant.
Hawks had been taking a heavy
toll of the poultry in the com
munity before Hall began his raid
on the flying prey. The com
munity is indebted for his efforts
in destroying the hawks.
Hall is a sawmiller by trade.
