To Have Free Camp Ground
Funds were provided last week
by the merchants tot the purpose
of establishing a free camp ground
for tourists the same to be located
just west of the Liberty garage
Brick ovens will be built for cook-
ing purposes plenty of good water
is convenient and everything for
the comfort and convinience of
the tourist will be provided
We believe this is a wise move
on the part of the city for there are
thousands of tourists passing
through here each year over the
Albert Pike highway and a clean
inviting camp ground will be the
means of getting many to stay
over in our little city

condition was unable to overcome
the effect of the disease and he
passed away at 8:30 Tuesday morn-
ing The body is expected here some-
time today and the exact time of
the funeral is not known as we go
