NEWBURY

Out on the skyline of Newbury, Mr..
Harrison, proprietor of the Revere house,
Boston, discovered an abandoned farm
once the home of Col Daniel Taisey. At
tracted by its fertile pastures and the
superb view which takes in an extensive
range of beautiful valley, including
Franconia mountains and Mooselauke m
the distance this city man decided TO
make this place of refuge from the
cares and perplexities of a strenuous HE.
Thus the old farmhouse with its stream
of living water, around which no doubt
cluster many sacred memories, was res
cued from decay and transformed into a
modern bungalow in which are all the
conveniences. Here on the broad piazzas
weary worn soul can find rest and com
fort. taking in the landscape and watch
ing the herds of cattle. This mode OF
rest not only brings enjoyment to the
man of affairs; it gives employment to
others: it brings back the waste places
to life; it euriches our town, May bene-
factors like these be encouraged.
