VIII Dogs Run Barking Fox?
saturday afternoon Messrs. j. Il.
Rogers and T. b. Lilies met and en-
gaged in "reminiscences of the past,
The main theme of the argument
drifted TO the time when there were
plenty of foxes In Union county. "A
dog will not run fox while the ioN
is barking" said Mr.. Lilies. He then
explained that foxes bark like
small dog and that he never could
get the dogs to run one while he was
barking. but that when the little an
imal quits barking he catches hail
columbia.
Mr.. Rogers then related an Incl

animal until he got in reach and
struck him with the big stick and
put him out cf business. Surprised
al the stupidity of the cunning little
animal, the men began 10 make in
vestigation as 70 the whyforeness

a big rooster was standing just on
the other side OF the fence and that
the fox was watching a chance TO
spring uron him and neither heard
