Four (4) Post Civil War broadside, documents, and print. 1st item: Tennessee broadside, "Tax Payer," by A. C. Webb, published by Standard Printing House, McMinnville, circa 1900. The poster, advertising a mule, reads: "Tax Payer is a fine young jack, good size, fine form, extra weight and bone, black with white points. He is richly bred, his dam being sired by Heirs, the Grizzle "Old Spanish Jack." Taxpayer was sired by Jake Hawkin's big native jack of Canton County known as one of the best breeders in Tennessee. He was 16 hands high and weighed 1,100 pounds., and wore No. 3 horse shoe. We think we have combined in Tax Payer all the good qualities of both the Spanish and native blood, viz: The Spanish giving good hair, fine form and finish, and the native giving extra bone, weight and stamina. Tax Payer will make the season for the year 1900 at Jessie, Warren County, Tenn., as $5 to insure a live colt 10 days old, payable when fact is ascertained or property transferred. Care taken to prevent accidents, but not liable should any occur. We would be pleased for those interested in stock raising to take a peep in our stable and see for themselves what we have.
