'In the year 1899 the side of my

. builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days il
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many OF them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature SO
beautifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegeta BILE foods OF
all kinds; so, If we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex.
preSsly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi

Chief of these was a rare combina-

and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu

hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as &
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this elias:

fearful depression, SO when the Centen

FOR A GREATER GREAT bend.
A Plan TO FIJI up an Athletic Park for
All Kinds Of Athletic Games.

1t has been proposed to get a
tract of ground somewhere close
to the city and fit up a place for
baseball and tennis, football ETC.,
and have place that is close
enough to the city that the ladies
can attend the games without
having to 60 too great a distance.
Great Bend made the reputation
last season of turning out more
ladies to the ball games than any
other town in the league, and if
there was a good place for them
to 60, not far out, the attendance
would be larger in the future then
it was in the past. Great Bend is
growing, and growing fast. 1t
has passed the little town stage,
and should begin to figure on
some of the fixtures and equip
ment of city There is a great
likelihood of securing a strong
league base ball team for the COM
ing season, and if this is done,
there should be a better place,
one more convenient to the general
public than the fair grounds,
where a first class ball ground
could be fixed up and kept in
shape. 1t is proposed to organize
stock company with capital of
one thousand dollars, and issue
stock at one dollar a share, secure
some ground in the city and fix it
up for a good enclosed grand
stand, and maintain the grounds
in the best possible manner.
In issuing the stock it is thought
that by making the share one dol
lar each it will give everyone who
is interested in the matter a
chance to get in and help push the
matter to competition, and no mat
ter whether you are able to invest
one dollar or one hundred dollars
you will be allowed to come in
just the same. There are several
tracts of ground under considera-
ton, land when the thing gets in
shape to make a deal for a loca-
tion, they will all be considered.
If you are interested in anything
of this kind. get in the game and
say so.
Here's hoping that this project
will get the hearty support from
the people that it deserves.
