Much Credit Given to H. Z. Parker Of
Bradford Opinion.

Much Credit Given to H. 4. Parker Of
Bradford Opinion.
Notwithstanding the printing estab.
lishment Of H. II. Parker was nearly
destroyed, the United Opinion, which
has been a regular weekly visitor to
Ncwbury for the past 90 years, arrived
as usual last Friday morning. We, the
citizens Of this place, congratulate
Editor Parker for his prompt decision
to rebuild and carry on the work which
las taken him nearly lifetime to es-
tablish. Most men meeting with such
loss when they have reached the
shady side of 80 years would have
turned the business over to other
hands, or written at the end of the
chapter finis. Bradford is to be con-
graduated in having such man as a
citizen, and may they show their APP
probation of him, a living man, by Civ
ing him an occasional lily to cheer and
encourage him on the remainder of his
life's voyage, for no greater tribute
could Editor Parker pay his home
town, where the best years of his life
have been spent, where his children
were born and where in its Gods acre
is the place of sepulcher of his loved
ones, than in bringing order out of
chaos and continuing a business which
would give to many employment; the
town source OF revenue; an uplift to
the community.
