Water word and ballpark road closure notice
That is the water word. That is what Urino Laxative Fruit Sroup does. Cleanses and stimulates the bowels without irritation in any form. Sold by all druggists. In the future the road running along the west side of the ballpark will be closed up during ball games and trespassers are warned against occupying it. The property belongs to me and considerable damage has been done to the fence by persons who drove in and were careless about handling their teams. In the future trespassers will be prosecuted.
