We are afraid that Parker has
been unable to keep step with her
sister towns in the rapid pace of
nroeression. And now after the
a w
20th anniversary of her birth we
recognize among our prosperous
farmers the same kindly faces that
smiled her a welcome or hushed
her baby sighs on their bosoms.
Perhaps the direct cause of our
inertness lies in the fact that we
have been contented with our lot.

when our neighboring towns have
engaged in conflict or clamored for
prosperity we have been content to
idly sit and hear the battles' din
afar.
When the new train service was
proposed we did not fall in with
this plan. For, rather than exert
ourselves to patronize an early
train to Portland we contented
ourselves with the consolation that
if we wished an earlier start we
conld start the day before.
During the past year there has
been very little change among our
residents. The Vanderpool dona
