Some persons seem to have ex-

tobacco and whiskey for years and
apparently be none the worse, but
the number is small, and when a
sensible man or woman finds an ar

some degree Of intelligence by

NOW FOR THE PARK.
Mr. J. 4. Burton Offers to Contribute
Tract of Land if Other Land is
Secured.

In letter to the editor of The Her.
aid and News Mr.. J. A. Burton offers
to contribute a piece of land on the
east side, of SCOTS creek, containing
about one and one-third acres, valued
at six hundred dollars, for the pur-
poses of a park as soon as enough
money is contributed to pay for the
balance OF the land which it is desir-
ed to include in the park.
Some time ago Mr. Burton and the
editor Of The Herald and News looked
over this piece Of land, and decided
that six hundred dollars was a rea-
sonable price for it.
This shows public spirit Of high
order OH Mr.. Burton's part, and now
there ought to be no trouble in get
ting the park. With this contribu-
ton as a nucleus with which to work,
certainly there ought to be enough
public-spirited citizens in Newberry,
with the means, to make the park a
certainty now.
Mr.. Burton says he is ready to deed
this land either to the town or to a
commission, upon condition that it
will always be used as a park, and
that he shall not be connected with
the park commission. However, if
there is no objection, he says, be
would like to name one member Oh
the commission.
1t is now up to Newbery. -. a.
