Warrenton,
unique in many
ways, has a
unique golf
course. It is believed
that the
course here is the
only one in the
state where the
players must resort
on some
occasions to the
ferry system to
reach one of the
holes. It was a
funny sight on
Tuesday afternoon

sitting in a
boat with caddies
paddling them

More than 30
years ago people
were making
Hunter's a favorite
gathering
place at just
about any time of
the day. We
welcomed our
friends then, and
we welcome them
now. Throughout
the years quality
and courtesy have
been two reasons
why Hunter's has
become a name
worth remember
ing.
heavy rains. But
Warrentonians
love their
golf and they are
determined to
play come h—
and high water.
We're* glad to
have the Cook
boys in town this
week. While Ben
visits us from
time to time, this
trip is the first
one for Marshall
in about 20 years
and Bignall in 36
years. The sons
of the late Judge
Charles A. Cook,
they lived here,
you know, before
the family moved
to Oklahoma
many years ago.
