rsdical-ridden Buff City on the after
noon Of the ODD inst, and being comfort

these celebrated springs-tbe present re-
sort Of a multitude of tourists, invalids
and pleasufe-seekers from our city, and
various other cities and localities in
the south. The crops on our route
looked unusually promising, and from the
appearance Of robustness and luKuriance
of the corn and cotton, we predict an
abundant harvest-NOuS UerrOHs. Iuka
is almost eeui-distant from Memphis and
the eastern terminus Of the great COM
meTcial t~borOughfare on which il is sit
uated, and has a population Of one thou
sand people, with about fifteen stores,
two drug establishments, churches,
q jail, one or two blacksmith shops, and
one or two SALOONS, where iced COOLERS,
~exbilarating cocktails and gin "slings,"
the ne plus ultra of inspiring beverages,
are dispensed for mutiisted Abrahamic
shinplssters in the most approved style.
There are also here a very spTightly
weekly paper called the Gazette,
and two excellent academies, which
are in a very hOurishing c8udi-
ton, the male school being under the
management Of Prof. T. J. Noreum,
formerly of Dur city schools, an excellent
gentleman and highly accomplished
teacher. This town takes its name from
an Indian chief whose grave is near by,
and who, with his dusky tribe, f%requented
these spring in the days Of yore, ere the
sunlight of civilization dawned upon the
! pine-crOWned hills and vaIiegated
scenery Of old T~isbOmingo.

hither, are embossOmed in q pleasant
