that no one is apparently taking any interest

CAMP GROUND.
An Improvement Which Would
Add Beauty to the Town and
Attract Crowds from Dis
tant Cities.

We know of no prettier or more suts
able location than the beautiful grove
which nature has provided than that or
near the Cayce spring, for the erection
of camp ground. The citizens of
iuka and surrounding country could act
In corcort and erect large and COM
| modions shed, provided with seats suit
ao!e to seat thousand people at very
! little expense 10 each individual, and
this could be set apart IS place for a
yearly reunion and revival of the differ
ent churches. While some would come
for religious purposes, others again
would merely come through gregarlous
instincts, yet it is scarcely necessary TO
add that it would lend attractions not
only to the town by drawing people
from ali parts of the country, but would
provide well modulated place for en-.
loyment once year that would be
looked forward to by many as a nogelty
well worth seeing.
Undoubtedly thus would add altrac.
tons by tie many rustic dwellings that
would be erected by various persons
who would camp for the week. The
neat grove, would, with its pure sweet
water. lend many charms-a steady
breeze sitting through the dropping
plumes would add deligh. to the mate
rial pleasure of those who come from
the confines CT the heated and suitry
city. These grounds neatly cleaned
and prepared with tents for the accom-.
odation of guests could be rented to
persons who, come from a distance.
We should like to hear what the peo-
pie have to say on this subject and how
many are willing to take stock in an
entei prise of this kindP By judicious
advertising and let the people snow that
they could get accommodation at a res :
sonable rate, several thousand would
visit Iuka during a. ten days camp
meeting. Arrangement can bs made
with the railroads for cheap rale Of
transportation. Let us go to work and
get up the stock and erect the building
which could be used for many other
purposes during the year.
