IUKA, MISSISSIPPI.

Iuka isthe County Site of fish
omingo County and is situated in
the north central portion, on the
Southern Railway, lis miles east
of Memphis. Tenn, S miles
west of the Alabama state line,
and s miles south of the Tennes-
see river. A splendid road runs
from Iuka to Eastport, the near
est point on the river.
The town contains. about 200
inhabitants, has a fine public
school, five churches of different
protestant denominations, two
good hotels and many boarding
houses. The business part of the
town is built mostly of brick, and
will eventually be entirely so, as a
fire ordinance prohibits the build
ing of wooden structures in the
future. All lines of business are
represented, from banking to
barber shop.
luka is most delightful.place to
live in, and as a proof of this
fact persons reared here who have
wandered away hold the place of
their nativity in loving remem-

What Can a Woman Do?

She can rule in the realm of the human heart
And reign as queen by her wornans art;
She can rout all the legions Of sorrow and pain,
And all the dark spirits thai wait in their train;
She can sow cen in sorrow and water with tears
The germs that shall gladden. the giorifed years
With the gladness of Eden again.
What hath woman donej heard the Ages ask.
She hath brought in the brightness and banished
the gloom;
She hath vanauished the canker and brought
forth the bloom;
grave;
OF the dreams of the free and the hopes Of the
brave.
And the undying deed Of her service sublime
Shall bless this old world till the ripples of time
Shall melt ineternity ) morn.

HIDDEN RICHES.

Beneath the soil Of TIshomingo
there exists great mine Of wealth
that needs only the magic wand of
capital to develop and bring to
light. In the first place there ex-
lists kaolin of the very finest quail
ity, suitable for the manufacture
of the finest porcelain ware known
to commerce. This clay outcrops
in several places and underlies, at
greater or lesser depths, almost
the whole of the northern and
eastern portions Of the county.
This clay has been experimental
with and used at the Tulane Uni
versity, New Orleans, and other
places, and its great value and
adaptibility demonstrated.
A very fine quality of ocher, in
all colors, can be found in the vi
cinity of Inka, from which can be
manufactured the finest of paint.
An effort is now being made to
establish paint factory to use
these ochers. Samples of paint
ing done with the different colors
are on exhibition at the Office of
the County Superintendent. An
examination of these specimens
will convince the most skeptical of
their value. The supply of these
ochers is almost unlimited, aud
that their manufacture into paint
would be paying enterprise does
not admit of doubt. All that is
needed is the capital and a skilled
manager.
At many places in the county
there are outcroppings of fine
building stone. One of these is
at Bay Springs, in the extreme
southern part: one near Tisho-
mingo, in the eastern part. Some
efforts have been made to quarry
this fine rock, but so far not much
has been done for lack of suf-
ficient capital. Experts who have
examined this stone say that at
but two other places in the United
States can better stone for build
ing purposes be found.
There exist, also, the finest
beds of gravel in Tlshomingo
county that are to be found any
where. The fame of the cele-
brated selfcementing Tishomingo
gravel is widespread. There
have been thousands of cars of
this gravel shipped from the two
mines on the Southern railroad,
2 and 3 miles from Iuka; but this
fine gravel, in varying quality and
character, can be found in many
other places.
Last, but not least of these
treasures, the opinion is firmly
fixed in the minds of many who
have studied the question, that
there is stored under the deep
lying rocks oil in paying quaint
ties. Some effort has been made
at boring, and some oil found; but
the work was stopped before a
sufficient depth had been at
tanned. In our opinion, there is
only needed intelligent effort,
backed by sufficient capital, to
bring to light this deeply-stored
treasure.

, . 49, 49, - NfoAoAA TIA l
people do not get sick here, but
we do assert, without fear of sue
cessful contradiction, that the
healthfulness of lTishomingo
County is such that it constitutes
onelof its strongest attractions to
to the homeseeker.
The population of the county is
made up by white people almos
entirely. The few negroes here
constitute an insignificant part of
the citizenship, but they are we'll
behaved and law-abiding. The
law is seldom violated by any
class of our citizens, No whisky
has been sold legally in the county
for many years, and very little
illegally. The entire State of
Mississippi is now under prohi-
bition, but many years ago the
people of this county banished sa-
looms, not by local option, but by
refusing to sign the petitions of
those seeking to secure license.
There is in progress among our
people great moral and educa-
tional uplift. Better rchurch and
school houses are being built in
the rural districts and in the
towns. The public schools run
for longer terms and are better
patronized than formerly, and
superior grade of teachers has
been evolved in response to public
demands and'needs.
Am ong the farmers, better ag-
ricultural methods are used, and
better implements. There is a
steady progress among our farm
ers on all lines. We have rural
routes running in all directions
carrying the mail to the farmers
home, A denser population would
increase the number of these
routes.
The tax rate of the county is
low-only IL mills for state and
county. The public finances are
in healthy condition. Public
service is paid for in cash.
After presenting all these facts,
we ask: Why should farmer
remain in states where land val
ues prohibit him from ever own
ing his own farm? Why should
he not come to Tishomingo county
and buy a farm for a few hundred
dollars, cultivate'yand improve his
own farm and live under his own
vine and fig tree?
And this leads us to speak about
this section as fruit country.
Almost all kinds of fruit do well
here. The liberia peach car be
grown. here as successfully and as
perfectly.as in the favored sec
tons of Georgia. The water
melon and cantaloupe attain good
sizes and have a. most delicious
flavor. The.strawberry grows to
a perfection here not excelled by
any portion of the South.
So, dear reader, if you wish
home at reasonable price, where
a warm welcome awaits all new
corners of good character, where
law and order are supreme, where
pure air and water abound, and
where the soil responds literally
to the care of the husbandman,
come to Tishomingo County and
the sooner the better-for the low
prices at which these lands can
now be bought will soon be a
hing of the past.
