family Bibles in Nashville is in the Isom of the late Mrs Emily Dona Walton and pictured here is Mrs Walton's daughter Miss Fannie Walton showing the century-old book to her great-niece Caroline Walton Adams Payne young daughter of Mr and Mrs Gowan Payne of Nashville The book was originally the family Bible of Dr Timothy Walton and his wile Susanne McGee Walton of Carthage parents of Miss Walton's lather the late Capt William Walton was published in 1827 Mrs Emily Donelson Walton whose death occurred last fume was a great-niece of Rachel Dona Jackson wife of Andrew Jackson and the little girl in the picture is therefore the great-great great-great-nitre of the beloved wile of Tennessee's revered military leader and statesman The plc in the old family Bible at which she is looking so intently is the one illustrating the familiar Scrip tura! prophecy "The lion and the lamb shall lie down together and a-little child shall lead them" The family Bible of Capt William Walton and Mrs Emily Donelson Walton remains in the Walton home Glen Echo on the Gallatin Road where this picture was mad 1 The man replied that he and see eral of his friends desired Bibles with that many extra pages for the family records and were willing to pay the necessary price Further correspondence revealed the fact that the North Carolinian and his friends wanted the Bibles with sufficient space to record their entire family trees covering five generations Not a bad idea sissy would say 41 Guide Is Worth His Pay to the pier I sure got a big kick out of It when I saw what be was It was estimated that more than 2000 people were at Reelfoot Lake on Labor Day yet they were scarcely noticeable on that 24000 acre expanse Recent rains had muddied the water making band-pole fishing poor but Increasing the take of the market fishermen who use nets and baskets Spicer veteran guide who also op3rstes a fish dock was buying hundreds of poundd among which was several large sturgeon Re volunteered a valuable tip on how to tell if a fish on a string has become unfit to use If the inside of the gills has turned white be said the fish is gone: if the gills are still red the fish is good we ill 'ttt water from the nearby spring and poured the cooling liquid through the carcass within fifteen minutes It was skinned and cut up and ready to cook The skill of the operation was proven by sweet and palatable meat the next day Connie Horn son of Ed Horn has just returned from several week's stay at Daytona Basch and is ea-Whiting a picture of a sea trout weighing ten pounde which he recently caught from the Daytona Beach fishing pier Officials there Informed him that this was the largest fish taken frOm the pier In the last three years and so far this maga his fish ix Is the lead in the fishing contest iponsoted there by the Junior Chamber of Commerce 'It was at accident that I caught hint" Connie modestly admits was natio: with cut mullet trying to get some Nue Trout seldom strike cut bait but this one grabbed it and ran eut nearly 100 yards before I realised what was happen leg It took me neatly fifteen minutes to wear him down and get him lam which a guide would have charged Fancy wardrobes fancy flies weeks of preparation are all right yet this shouldn't progress so far as to cause economy to Set in when about to purchase the best insurance possible of a good trip A professional guide is a very interesting and versatile person In the first glance he sizes up his party and adapts himself to their nature It the party merely wants to get drunk maybe he will get drunk with them If they want fish he will get them fish even if he has to catch them himself He is human and has pride in his exiling and when a group of guides talk among themselves one may overhear statements that sound almost like bragging Try one you next trip and observe how your luck improves it empties into Duck River His party employed the services of Jess Owens colored guide from Centerville lad caught plenty of fish for eating purposes during their entire stay' The guide gave them several lessons in woodlork and his humor kept them well-entertained One evening Owens left camp is his car and didn't return until nearly midnight Mr Delaney says they were awakened then by loud yelling and laughing and arose to find that their guide had brought his wife and some Mende with hint They were holding a large goat in the back seat and wanted the campers to get up and watch them butcher it This is a delicate task as to allow the outside of to touch the meat in any places gives it a goaty flavor Two men held the goat up by the hind legs Owens cut its throat sad ripped open its belly the women started it bucket brigade et told By PAUL BRYANT T3 FISH successfully in strange waters it is most essential to be accompanied by some person familiar with the locality who acquaint you with the correct A friendly farmers boy can lead you to the best hole available on the stream near his home while at tht largest lakes and resorts a guide will not only take 3roui to the proper spot to fish but will also do most of the hard labor Important details of bait tackle time of day to start and depths at which various fish are fetding come as second nature to ths man who spends a good part of his time on the water Guiding is a profession Just like bricklaying accounting or the practice of law and after payment of the fee the client obtains in a few minutes benefit of the guide's years of study and experience Many a vacation has been ruined in attempting to save the few dot 1: 11 1 4
