In the list of old curiosities, Eufaula comes to the front with a powder horn
that did duty in the War of Independence.  It is rudely carved and bears the
name of Isaac Hay.  Toward the smaller end of the horn are the words: “Liberty
or death,” and the date 1777; a deer and a snake are also carved on it.  It is
now owned by Mr. Wm. Speight, and was presented to his great grandfather by its
former owner, Isaac Hay.  The horn figured in the surrender of Cornwallis. –
