They were similar in many respect's. In age they were onlY a few years apart. They lived and died in the sec- tion in which they were born. They run their business, (that of farming, according to the, old Scripture rule, "Owe no men anything,") and gauged all their doings by the Golden. Rule. Mr, Win. Haugh was born on the bankof the Maitlandeawhile Mr, Ed, 'Jenkins' birthplace was near what was known in the pioneer days as the half- way house, (beieg • half way from Wingliam and Teeswater.)
