pleased with it's usefulness and hoped
that the next session would be held
in this village, where such generous

We dropped into the Office of the
Bradford Opinion one day last week
and found Bro. Parker, his staff, and
his entire office force busily engaged
in getting out Conference edition of
the Opinion, which promises to be a
very interesting paper. Several cuts
and portrait pictures will appear with
sketches of most of the more import
ant personages present, the daily pro-
ceedings of the conference, the ap-
pointments and much else of general
interest. The Office has just been
supplied with new motor, a large
amount of new type and material.
Mr.. Rowell, an experienced and ex-
cellent job printer, has recently been
employed and it looks as though
Brother Parker might deserve, as we
hope he will receive, a still larger ia
vor and patronage. Since our last
visit to Bradford we note a marked
Improvement in the appearance of the
village. New blocks have been built,
residences have been put up, some
new manufacturing has started, and
general Sticking up has taken place.
We think it would be hard to find
a heater and more thrifty street in
any village in this section than Main
street in Bradford.
