A NEW PARK IN BAY ST. LOUIS
MISSISSIPPI.

/ that Babylon had a hanging park
and Noah is reputed to have col
lected zoe" park and some
people think Adam and Eve llyeC
/ in a park and that Eve was for
/ bidden to ride the "chutes, > but
! she would ride and took man with
! her and that is how he got his
fall.
! However that may be, the fact
remains that Bay St. Louis IS OF
modern origin SO far as eXiotance
is concerned and is to have a
park.
Mr.. Chas. A. Worsley, a Bay
resident, renowned for his spirit
of municipal enterprise, is LAYING
on park for public use. The
place is TO be beautitied, sylvan
benches erected, and lighted with
electricity.
Second sire. runs through the
park from north to south and
Worsiey avenue now being open
ed bv Mir. Worsley in connection
with a town plat he is preparing
to put on the market, from east
/ to west.
A fine mineral spring, reputcd
to have exceptional medical prop
critics, bubbles from the sandy soil
at the foot of an enormous mag
nolia tree. Some of our citizens
have used this water for years
and all say the use of it will bring
about the proper adjustment of
the disordered system, it Is par
ticularlv fine as tonic, being Wis
ibly impregnated with iron.
Mr.. Worsley proposes to build
an artificial basin around this
spring and the weary may slake
their thirst, the sick find relief,
and the well enjoy an additional
| lease Of life.
This water is free to all who
will go to the spring to partake of
lit. Mr.. Worsley through the adj
vice of his friends and actuate d
| bv a humane desire that such a
Ispecifc remedy should be within
1.-THE reach of all, will have large
quantities Of the water shipped to
| New Orleans and other Southern
cities for sale. The development
of a fine mineral spring means
much for Bay ST. Louis and VIII
be another medium of crowdlng
the Bay with visitors, which Will
necesSitate more hotels and living
Accommodations, and consequent
increase in business of all kinds.
The movement of Mr.. WorsIey 5
should receive the hearty cooper
alton of every resident of Bay st.
Louis, and moral support be CIV
en- him for the success OF his
undertaking.
Expecting that a number OF
people will wish to be near this
spring so as to continually lave
themselves with its waters with
out any cost, Mr.. Worsley has
sub-divided the land lying adjac-
ent to the spring, which is a high,
beautiful ridge, covered with or
namentaI shade trees and health
giving pines, into lots, which he
has placed in the hands Of Leland
!. Henderson, whose Office is just
opposite the court house, for sale
at an extremely low figure on the
installment plan. In the selection
of these lots a good demand Is eX-
pected for those nearest the
spring, and those seeking an IN
vestment or a home should not
hesitate in paying Mr.. Henderson
an early call.
Do not forget that with the
many new Improvements in new
buildings, telephone, prospective
! electric lights, a public park and
the development of a mineral
spring. probable erection of rice
mill. projected street car line
and various other indications OF
advancement. Bay St. Louis IS
rapidly forging out Of the oblivion
of antiquity and coming to the
/ front; an enterprising spirit can
be seen everywhere and no place
is it more evident than in the fire
company: at its reorganization
Meeting q few months since,
hardly felt, today host and ready
to grapple fire at small notice as
! the citizens of the Bay should
grapple the myth "hard times.
Good citizens if you will all pull
