TO MAKE VALDOSTA
LITERARY CENTER.
Valdosta, Ga., March 21.
Arthur E. Gringo, editor of the
Lyceum World, of Indianapolis,
president of the International
Lyceum Association, and a distin
guished chautanqua lecturer, was
in Valdosta yesterday and an
nounced the pi ms he is formulat
ing for Jie establishment of an
international lyeeuin chautauqua
here.
Mr. Gringe took from the South
Georgia Real Estate and Develop
! ment Company of this city, an
| option on a ten-acre tract of land,
a few miles north of the city, on
which, if the present plans are
I carried out., a beautiful Chautau
qua buildings and a modern inn
will be built. The site is im
mediately on the banks of the
Willaeooch *e River, and one of
great natural beauty.
Mr. Gringe’s idea is to establish
a sort of literary rendezous here,
where the wealthy literary people
qf the north might find an ideal
spot in which to spend the winter
months. Many of the most emi
nent men and women in the coun
try, he* believes, will be impressed
by the plans he has under consid
eration, und which he will push
1 through and elaborate on his re
jturn to Indianapolis next. week.
