Tippah Lodge

Right on this road is COTTON PLANT, 0.7 m. (415 alt., 150 pop.), best kown for the PAUL RAINEY ESTATE. The Rainey house, now occupied by a sister of Rainey, is a plain with frame farmhouse that has lost much of the glamor of gay parties, hunt balls, and breakfasts associated with it during Rainey's lifetime. Since his death, in 1926 the game preserve has been abolished and the estate converted into small tenant farms known as Tippah Farms.
