TO BUY REELFOOT LAKE.
Options Secured on Entire Prop
erty by Memphis Men.

Reelfoot Lake, oneof the greatest nat
ural game and fishing places IN the
South. the scene of the Nightrider trou-
bles which attracted the attention OF the
entire country few years ago, IS to be
bought by a syndicate organized by
Memphis men. The plans now in view
contemplate the Investment OF more
than half million dollars in the lands
covered by the lake and surrounding
game preserves, and the exploiting OF
the lake on a large scale as hunting
and fishing resort.
A charter OF incorporation has been
drawn by Memphis attorneys, an option
on the extensive properties having been
secured several months ago, and an ex-
tensiye examination Of the titles having
shown that all former difficulties which
have existed have been cleared away
The syndicate, which is composed OF
gentlemen in several cities, but princi-
pally in New York, has been organized
by John B. Wheeler and Walter w.
Talbert, of this city, who have been
working on plans for several months.
The organization will be known as the
Roosevelt Outing Club, with headquar-
ters in Memphis, although it is antici-
pated that the stock will be held largely
in New York, while the membership OF
the club proper will ultimately bring to-
gether sportsmen from every State in
the union.
1t is the intention Of the gentlemen
back Of the plans to spend thousands OF
dollars in improving the lake and
grounds surrounding it, which comprise
a tract covering more than 80, 900 acres
OF land, including the lake. The lake
is ~ miles long and from five to seven
miles wide. An immense resort hotel
win be built, new docks and wharyes will
be constructed on the lake, roads and
drpeways will be constructed, several
club buildings are to be placed at con-
yenient locations, and the charter viii

and moving pictures are given every day
by experts These lectures are drawing
large crowds and men in charge Of the
exhibits are kept busy all the time an
swering questions. Registers have also
been provided on which persons desiring
additional information will have litera-
ture sent them by the railroads The
large number of names which have been
placed on these registers is one OF the
best evidences Of the great work for the
boosting OF the South which is being
done by this exhibit.
The management OF the exposition
and business men OF Cincinnati consider
this exhibit one of the really great fea-
lures Of the exposition and are most APP
preciative in their expressions toward
the railroads OF the South for collecting
this exhibit and bringing it to Cincin-
natl and toward the people Of the South
for their cooperation
Many Cincinnati manufacturer have
found to their surprise that they can buy
to advantage in the South raw materials
which they have been buying from
points hundreds Of miles more distant
from them. Business men have been
awakened to a realization Of the posi-
bilities OF trade which the South holds
out and one result Of the exposition will
be redoubled effort on the part OF Gin
cinnati to get larger share OF Southern
trade. The majority of the visitors to
the exposition come from Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and adjacent States. Thousands
OF these people will be interested in the
agricultural possibilities Of the South
and doubtless large numbers Of the most
desirable settlers will be drawn TO the

and irritation to the person who
wishes to use it correctly. While it
is so widely used that many believe
it will not be long before it is the
universal language, each country and
section give many words a different
pronunciation. In America the New
Highlander is accused of sighting his
RS and giving his as an unnecessarily
broad sound. There seems to be no
infallible authority whose word is law
in this matter. There is little chance
for successful phonetic spelling. After
the reform speller has invented more
letters to express the sounds he uses
whose pronunciation shall he follow
Whatever way we choose to pronounce

sured that our children will be taught
a different way. We do not know how
various words will be pronounced a
