JAMES HALEY.
1Sl7-1907.

81 will gather you one by one,
| o We children of Israel. Thus
one by one the generation of our
fathers passes from the stage OF
human action, until but few remain
of those who forty and fifty years
ago were the men of activity in the
affairs of life.
No man was better or more fav-
orablv known in the vicinity OF
Newbury Center and West New
bury than James HALEY. He was
tradesman of high order, but not
so much in this light was he thought
of, as his being the man of strictest
integrity and righteous life. Dur
ing the fifty years of his residence
at Newbury Center the rising gem
Grafton of his neighbors received
an impression of the power and
virtue of the Christian religion, as
wrought into human character and
carried out in daily life which they
can never forget. With him relig-
ion was not merely something of
opinion and sentiment, it was
something to be possessed of, and
to be carried out, and wrought
into all that a man does.
James HALEY was born in Fife
shire. Scotland, May 18th, 1917,
and died at West Newbury, Vt,
MAY u, 1907, thus having lived
ninety years lacking a few hours.
He came to this country in 1912
by his first wife
whose maiden name was Euphemia
Skinner of his native town. She
bore him three children, viz: John,
deceased some years ago, Eliza
beth. Mrs. E. T. Smith of Brad
ford. and Ann, Mrs. Charles Harri- |
man of East Corinth. The mother
died at West Newbury in lS47.
Later Mr.. HALEY married Jen-
nette Waddell, daughter of John |
of Jefferson Hill, Newbury. /
Two children were the fruit of this /
marriage. Efie, who became Mrs. |
J. r. Lang of Newbury, moved |
West. and who now resides at Ann
Arbor, Mich, and Jean, Mrs. Chas.

4 TENNESSEE PARK FaE TJl FISHERMAN
a PICTURESQUE CHARACTER OF
NEW ENGLAND SEA COAST.
His Is Life of Peril and Hardship,
But He Loves the Fight with the
Sea for Its Finny
Treasure.

The Cane Cod fisherman will ever
remain the most picturesque character
of the eastern sea, and will in all prob
ability always dress, act, eat and talk
as did the fishermen of our early
colonial days The only important
changes in his methods are the adop-
ton OF small power boats, made pos
sible by the cheaply built and cheaply
run gasoline engine, and the cold
storage idea for his fresh fish. In all
other noticeable particulars he is very
much the same as he was when they
burned witches in Salem and hanged
Quakers in Boston.
The Cape Cod fisherman is type,
and a splendid one. lie is taught from
birth to wage a never ending battle
with old ocean who invariably resents
the despoiling of her treasure beds,
the breeding banks and favorite
haunts of the cod, mackerel and her
ring by sweeping the best fishing wa
ters with the most terrible gales
known to seafarers, and the loss of
life and property each year shows that
our fish food supply is not maintained
without constant warfare with wind
and wave.
So important is the salt Goldfish in
dustry becoming and so great the de-
mand for salt fish as an army or navy
ration on the ship stores for long voy-
ages that our claim to being the only
large producers of this food cannot
long be'sustained The Goldfish catch
| of North America in 1905 was worth
S12,500000, about half of which be-
| longed to Newfoundland and Labrador
Canada's catch that year was worth
s3,6400O0.
1t is a sight worth seeing to be at
| the dock when the fishing boats come
in laden to the waters edge with theil
barrels of fine mackerel, all glistening
( in the cold afternoon sunlight. The
fish, still alive, with their tails flap
| ping, is a sight not soon to be forgot

to dip the fish into baskets to be

no other fish are saved, dogfsh and

1t seems strange why good food fish
should be wasted Why not give them

poor would not take the trouble to

down to carry away such fish as can
be carried. but soon the water for
yards around is full of floating fish.
What an opportunity for some of our

Lookout Mountain, Wa1ders Ridge
Raccoon Mountain, Ea Nest and
the suck (that portion of the River
of the Big Bend" through which ira
dition says the water sucks into sub
terranean channels) are household
words in Tennessee. Amid these
scenes the Cherokee and Choctaw In
dams once roved in quest of game or
sought secure retreat from the on
slaughts of the first settlers at Ross
Landing, now known as Chatta-
nooga
Immediately on the right after en-
terng the Suck stands Signal Point,
where the club is to erect a fine house.
This point was used by the federal sol
diers in conveying signals concerning
the operations of the confederate sol
diers, who were stationed in the city
and on the south side, on Missionary
Ridge, and back into Georgia
Further down the river is the site
of the big lock and dam power plant
which is now being constructed by w.
j. Oliver & Co, and which will fur
nish the city with $4,000 horsepower
for lighting and other purposes. From
this point to Signal Point the Inter
state club will have its hunting pre-
serve on the ridge.
The club will utilize the river, which
will practically be a lake. from the
gigantic dam, so feet high, to the very
doors of the city for autoboating and
yachting purposes. At the foot of
the mountain just below Signal Point
the club will erect lighthouses. Con
Meeting with the club house at Sig
nal Point and the city an electric
railway will be built up the ridge
which will carry passengers from the
city to the top Of the ridge in 80
minutes
The Interstate club has purchased
5000 acres from English capitalists,
paying six dollars an acre, and they
have options on 1900 acres more. and
negotiations are now pending to
close this deal The land which is
desired Will cost about 100000 and
the club proposes to expend about
$2,OOO,OOO in Improving and beautify-
ing 1t. Automobile drives will be con-
structed throughout the grounds, 80
miles in length, and along every mile
