MAY ESTABLISH NEW PARK Three Lots at Sulphur Springs, Foot of Spencer Street, is Location. WOULD MAKE AN IDEAL PLACE Wer Is Said to Be of Medicinal Value nnd View from the Spot Extends JInnr Miles Alonir the IUaff. Police Commissioner Ryder has written W. S. Poppleton a letter in regard to the building of a city pork on the three "sulphur spring" lots at the foot of Spen cer street, ono of which Is owned by Poppleton. The commissioner suggests the lots be donated the city by Poppleton and be known as "Poppleton Park" or "Poppleton View." "These lots would make one of the finest bluff parks In the middle west." said Ryder, after the dty commission had returned from a trip of Inspection. "The sulphur springs there have been known for years among the pioneers as 'the fountain of youth.' and their medicinal value Is undisputed. "In addition to this there are several trees on the lots and the view Is so fine one can almost see to the "nds of the world. If the city can possibly secure these lots I would advise the creation of a park there." These lots are now owned by three residents. Poppleton owns one of them, and because he has been one of the prims factors In the city's growth since the jarly days the commissioners may. If the park Is built there, name It for him. The owners of the three lots now hold the land at W.000 a lot. "Uncle" Joe Redman was first to suggest a park at this place. A slight cold tn a cnllc- or a grown per nlght, bronchitis or pneumonia may do velup, and severo catarrhal troubles and consumption are possible results. Foley's Honey and Tar compound nips a cold at the outset, cures ctaup quickly, checks a deepseatcd racking cough, and heals In flamed membranes. It does not con stipate and contains no opiates. Refuse substitutes. For sale by all dealers every where. Advertisement. White Wife Gives Ethical Lesson to Her Negro Husband Percy O.
