School Inspector w. D. Parker
was visitor in the city Saturday,
interviewing as many of his old
friends as the time at his command
would allow. He came in on the
morning train and left on the out
going train at p. m. Mr.. and
Mrs. Parker will make their home in
GAINESVILLE after the new year. Mr..
Parker says it was a debatable
question with them whether they
should return to River Falls where
they had lived so long, place to
which they are attached by mutual
friendships, or go TO GAINESVILLE
where they lived before coming to
River Falls. AS they have a house
in GAINESVILLE they conclude to locate
there.
