Messrs. W.R. Potts and R.C. Knox of Davidson are visiting Messrs. A. Nance and J.T. Wooten in the Western Prong section and are enjoying some old fashioned fox hunting that has already netted them a large number of brushes.
The party has a pack of about 25 fine fox hounds, and they are said to be keeping the neighborhood awake with their lusty music. Mr. Potts, Mr. Knox and the last Dr. Wooten of Davidson started coming to Columbus for fox hunting about 25 years ago. For 15 years they never missed coming soon after Christmas. Then Dr. Wooten died and his pals abandoned their trips for a few years. They are back now, all a little older but all just as keen for the chase as they were when they first came here years and years ago. It would be interesting to know how many brushes they have hung up as the result of their many trips to Columbus.
