People fond of piscatorial sport are
pleased over the increased prospects OF
still further fine fishing at Lake Salton-
stall in the future. Recently Mr.. George
d. Townsend planted in Lake Saltonstall,
near Glen Grove park lat the head of the
lake., nearly all of the black bass yearlings
and the supply of croppies, which were
sent him by the United States fish COM
mission recently as was announced in the
COURIER. There were two cars of bass
and five cars of the croppies. The latter
are called very gamy fish and grow to
weigh four and five pounds each when
matured. A small part of the supply was
planted by Mr.. Townsend in Water Lily
lake, which lies not far off from, and north
of Glen Grove park. The croppies thus
sent by the commission were procured from
pools formed from overflow of the Illinois
river, from which when the water
subsidized they were taken.
Mr.. Townsend owns nearly all the land
on all sides of Lake Saltonstall, and it is
owing to his enterprise that Glen Grove
park has been established as a pleasant
resort and much improved. Such place
has been needed and in future years it
must become vastly popular. 1t was very
popular last year. The park has been
beautifed and supplied with buildings,
benches, tables, ETC., for picnic purposes,
also tennis courts, croquet grounds, base
ball field, etc. Next year the steamboat
will run again and the barges, as the
many who visited this pleasure ground
last summer will be glad to learn. With
the prospect of an abundance of gamey
fish the anglers will be delighted.

The Result ofmerit.

When anything stands test of fifty
years discriminating people like the
Americans, it is pretty good evidence that
there is merit somewhere. The value of
medicine is best proved by its continued
use from year to year by the same persons
and families, as we'll as by steady increas-
ing SALE, Few, if any, medicines have met
with such continued success and popular
ity as has marked the introduction and
progress of Brandreth's Pills, which, after
trial of over fifty years, are conceded to
be the safest and most effective regulative
and blood purifier introduced to the pub
lie.
That this is the result of merit, and that
Brandreth's Pills actually perform all that
is claimed of them, is conelusively proved
by the fact that those who regard them
with the greatest favor are those who have
used them the longest.
Brandreth's Pills are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated
