The buildings, the grounds, the ia
bles, the water, are the best to be
found in South Mississippi. Formal
opening at an early date.
The people of Hattiesburg are hav-
ing delightful surprise prepared for
them by the management of Mann
moth Springs, and it is safe to say that
no one will be more surprised than
those who have been visiting that re-
sort in past years. The fact is that
it is being completely made over and
in such a way that no one need go
away from home to find a comforta-
BILE summer resort, for hereafter Nam
moth Spring will be found to meet
their requirements.
The main hotel building has been
completely transformed and instead
of the hot, stuffy, uninviting appear
ance it formerly had, there is now a
spacious big office and sitting room,
ventilated on all sides and with porch
es all around it, so that the visitor
will always be able to find a cool spot
and comfortable surroundings. The
walls are being papered and linoleum
put down and everything done to make
the place wholesome and attractive.
The diningroom and kitchen have also
been completely rebuilt and renovat-
ed, and Mr.. and Mrs. Mathews, who
have charge of the Springs, have evil
IDENTIFY gone on the theory that bet
ter appetite can be had under .ippe-
tizing surroundings, and with this end
in view, the dining room has been
made as attractive as possible, and ii
is sufficient to accommodate large
dinner parties who may want to
spend the eve'ing at the Springs The
exterior of me buildings are also re-
ceiving the same attention that has
been laid the interior, and the beau
tiful Wilderness of the buildings, min
gled with the fresh clean foliage of
the surrounding trees, makes the
place so restful and inviting that it
would indeed be an unwearied travel
er who would not want to stop there.
One of the first efforts to improv e
the place was started at the Spring
itself. Instead of the old rotten curb-
ing and the generally dilapidated
surroundings that made the water
look as if it might not be good. we
now find a concrete curbing and all
the old sticks, sardine cans and the
trash that the dear children at the
picnics so love to throw in the
Springs, has been cleaned out and
hereafter special efforts will be made
to keep the water just as pure as it
should be. This effort Of the new
management ought to commend itself
to everyone who knows the value OF
pure water and realizes how hard ii
is to keep free water from contam.na
ton. In other words, the care that
mas Deen taken 10 insure pure water
at Mammoth, is the best guarantee
anyone can have, as it shows that the
management knows and appreciates
the necessity of keeping things clean
All the surroundings at Mammoth
Springs will be in harmony. The
trash and dirt that has been accumu-
lating for a long time has been re-
moved; unsafe trees ara being cut
down. swings will be scattered all
through the park and many of the
trees whitewashed. The cottages will
be renovated and all the furniture is
being put in livable condition, show
ing that every detail CT comfort that
can be assured to guests at sunsi
mer hotel is known and appreciates
In order to make the table as ad
tractives as the other comforts, a fine
