He is handling the white quarter of a century, that "The Coffey-ville Journal and the St. Louis Globe-Democrat are my favorite papers, and I declare I don't know which one I like the best. I have read 'em both for thirty years." It is to Mrs. Lipsey that one must go to learn, the past history of Parker back to the very beginning. Her husband hauled the first load ot lumber that was dumped on the site of the settlement.

She talked freely of the stormy, troublous events of old border days and of the building of Parker and transfer of the movable part of the town to Coffey ville. The only postoffice in this section of the country was first established at Claremore near Sealy Bwjwn's farm. It was soon moved to Westrelia. From there it was moved to Parker and then east to Coffeyville. As stated, John Lipsey liauled the lumber to Parker from which the first house was built.

This lumber he secured from Col. Coffey's mill. The Farmers, Notice. Union Loan Land' all the farms in Montgomery county listed with them for, sale; or any other property you have for sale. We have a great many calls for farms, and also have.

Old Parker is looking up this year. er, which illustrates how slight a provocation brought on a tragedy in those days. Spriggs drank two whiskies at the tavern and complained that they had made him sick. Scott took exceptions to this stranger knocking on his booze and shot him to death.

The citizens then proceeded to execute Scott for having too hasty a temper. Cok Twiss was killed in a pistol duel with some party whose name Mrs. Lipsey did not remember and then followed the hanging of these men. After this grisly event the three Odom boys killed old man Parker and the three of them were 'overtaken and killed by a posse while trying to escape. Only the lack of time prevented District No.

A pleasant hour and a fine dinner were enjoyed at the home of EJd Waud, one of the old and popular citizens of Parkers Mr. Waud has the finest horse and the most savage dog in the settlement. On these facts there can be no dispute. His horse is a half brother of the great John R. Gentry and his dog was sired by a wolf and dammed" by a tigeress.

Several new houses have been erected this year that add. much to the appearance of the settlement. William Cox has finished a handsome and modern frame house of two stories.

Mr. Cox sowed oats this being among the first, farmers in tho county to take advantage of the unusually early season. A. L. Mobley is finishing up a nice two-story brick house, which makes a handsome appearance.

He will build the porch yet before declaring his country home finished. W. C. Shafer, who recently built a nice cottage "next door" to Mr. Mob-ley, is nicely with his chicken ranch.

He has hatched and practically raised 600 chicks this winter. He had bad luck with his chickens last month, the wind that blew down the smelter wall, taking the roof off his chicken houses and he Jost several hundred chicks from exposure to the cold. When completed his chicken ranch will consist of six coops or houses and ten yards. He has three incubators. Mr.

Shafer believes that a Montgomery county chicken farm is a good proposition. There is an eager market at good prices for all the chickens and eggs he can furnish. He has orders now for more broilers than he can srupply at $4.50 to $5.00 per dozen. This for common Wedding cards, note heads and envelopes' neatly and promptly printed at The. Journal office.

Your next order is solicited. first school opened up in Parker and in the county for that matter, was upstairs over Parker York's store and was taught by the Widow Webster. A year later the school house referred to above was built. The firms that flourished in Parker in the year 1870 were Howard -Wells Parker York; A. Gould, Major Anderson, Lang Ford, Barndollar Bros, and Isham Bros.

A year later the town of Coffeyville was founded and Parker's brief day as the metropolis of the county was over. i Mrs. Lipsey remembers the i York-Bender feud and the score of other tragedies that followed to darken border history. She told of the killing ofGeorge Conner by Alex Carnes. Strong men flourished in those days-.

Connor; after receiving a mortal wound, ran to his house, secured his revolver and pushing his wife, out oF the way returned to the street and opened fire on Carnes, one of his three shots wounding his enemy -in the head. Connor, after firing the third shot, fell dead from two mortal trounds. Another tragedy was the hanging in the shape of a racing shoe worn by the famous Kentucky stallion Lexington when that horse won the crescent handicap from Le Compte at New Orleans twenty years ago. 5 Andy Lee has had the old Parker School house moved -from -the Cox farm on to his land and will preserve this relic of early days from destruction. This is the first school house built in Montgomery county.

Old Parker is district No. 1. The house was built in 1869 of native oak and has stood the 37 years of usage remarkably well. Mr. Lee went to school in this old house and doubtless as a matter of sentiment wishesx to preserve it.

A trip to Old Parker is not complete without one calls on Grandma Lips-ey. A visit with this remarkable old lady is worth while. She is 79 old and retains all her faculties to a. marked degree. She has lived continuously at Old Parker since 186S and is the only one left cf Jhe original settlers of this place.
