We hope Ole Doc Fox, as Guy Russell affectionately was called by his intimate friends, has as much fun in the other world as he seemed to have in this one. If all the jokes he told over his cigar counter were laid end to end . . . they would make Irvin S. Cobb look to his laurels. We wish Guy could have seen the magnitude of the crowd that attended his funeral. If he had, he probably would have wrapped his arms around a couple of cronies and said, "boys' it's a success!"
