400 families, and those answering in
response came from Moore, Hoke,
Richmond and Montgomery counties. -
The breakfast was served at one
o'clockrwliich was a most informal af
fair.; At three o'clock those joining
in the hunt met with the hounds and
started off on the chase. The visit
ors gathered out near the stables to
see the riders start, .about thirty in'
number. The day was an unusually
warm January day. Coats were dis
carded as the folks followed the rid
ers around the ridge of the hill, or sat
on the fences and watched them take
the hurdles, circling around the fields
and going down into the woods and

South. It stands on the ridge above
Southern Pines, with an outlook that
is interesting. ' The Boyds were peo
ple who had many friends. . Visitors
and relatives gathered together with
them at. their Southern home. Mr.
Boyd was interested in golf, and for
himself and his friends he built the
golf links around his .home that add '
so much to the ., grounds and still

Boyd built roads over the entire' es

over the ridges and down through the
valleys, so that they could drive miles
over territory never touching the same
road twice. -This was before the day

young fellows grew up they were in

Jack are down for the winter. The
young fellows are getting ready for

town, which will be sold for winter
homes to the Northern tourists.
The boys have time for fox hunts.
They gathered up a pack of hounds,
brought down some horses from the
North and chase over the roads made
by their grandfather years ago. Some
times they stir up a real fox, and have
a real hunt, oftener they start a col

hours before the hunt is to be pulled
