lUKA


stock company called the Southern CO.
operative Hotel Company in 1877 with
r. W. Price, President and G. p. Ham
merly, Secretary and Treasurer. The
cost OF the building was $4,000 Ait |
erward the annex was built at an ad
ditional cost OF about $4,000. In 1870,
as has been before stated, the county of
Tishomingo was divided and the county
site of the new county of Tishomingo
was fixed at Iuka This gave great
impetus to the town. In 1888, Prof
II. A. Dean established the Normal
Institute in the Iuka Seminary build
ing. 1t prospered and grew into great
prominence as an educational institu-
ton In 1894 Prof Dean purchased
the Mineral Springs Hotel property
and transferred his school there where
he continued to run it until 1902, and
afterward leased the building to X. l..
Mcknight to run as hotel.
AS there had been considerable
trouble over water privileges, or rather
the water tax imposed by the different
parties into whose hands the property
had passed, sentiment was created
among the property owners of the
town that the springs and the park
should be the property OF the corpora
ton and should always be free to the
world. This sentiment grew and final
| " crystallizcd i'll the purchase of the
park by the town in 1901. The town
lloated bonds to the amount OF $4,000
and from the sale OF the bonds pur-
chased the park for $1,000 and expen-
dcd the residue in the erection of an
electric light plant. The park with its
majestic forest trees, its well kept
| hedge, and its concrete walks is the
beauty spot of the town, and its heal
ing waters are free to all the world
Iuka has two splendid hotels where
the travelling public is well served.
They are the Mineral Springs and
Leatherwood. The town has a well
organized Chamber OF Commerce
which is ever active in promoting its
best interests luka may well be called
City OF Churches" five denomna-
tons having houses of worship here
These are the Baptist Methodist, Epis-
copalian, Christian, and Presbyterian.
1t also has handsome modern High
School building.
The cultural atmosphere of the town
is greatly enhanced by the efficiently
organized women's clubs. Among
these are the Thursday Club, Fed
Grated Literary Club a live Parent
Teacher organization, Civic Improve
ment Club, L. d. C., w. {. T. L., and
active societies i'll all the churches.
Notwithstanding the fact that Iuka
has had several disastrous fires its
growth has been steady, and it may be
truly called an attractive little town
with its stately ante-bellum homes, its
many beautiful modern bungalows, its
concrete walks, gravel streets, and up
to date business houses.
Situated i'll a splendid agricultural
and lumber section, i'll the Muscle
Shoals district, in the Lee Highway,
and having several miles of gravel
roads i'll every direction, no town has
brighter future

SPECIAL EDITION

We wish to state in regard to this
issue of the paper that it is not what
we hoped to make it owing to the fact
that so many OF our business men are
not represented in its columns. A
considerable amount of the informa-
ton about the town and county was de-
rived from other issues OF "The vi

one OF luka's most talented women, and
while it was published in "The Vidette"
some years ago is worthy Of reproduce

enjoy it.
