Jackson Argus – Week Of March 18, 1897 March 18, 1897
The Wigwam hotel at Indian Springs was resold last Tuesday and knocked off to R.
 C. Strother of Wallaballa, S. C. for $12,000.  This was the only bid made and
it is understood that Mr. Strother bid on the property solely to protect himself
in a claim he held on the property.  He is a railroad man and as the hotel
business is out of his line it is more than likely he has an elephant on his hands.

It was once designed to establish a female at the Springs and use this building
for that purpose, but the project fell through.   It is possible that this plan
may again take shape and culminate in the establishment at Indian Springs of a
magnificent college for girls.    The location is certainly an ideal one and
with sight changes in the arrangement of the building it could be charmingly
adapted to college purposes.

The hotel season is only of three months duration and why not use the building
nine months for school purposes.

By the way, it could be converted into a great sanitarium, couldn’t it?
