The Association further proposes,
to establish in due time, agencies in
such places abroad as may be deemed
suitable and advantageous for our ob.
jects. Agents shall be under strict
control of the Association, and shalt
be furnished by the Secretary, with
correct copies of applications for labor
and offers Of lands for sale. Local
agencies will also be established, for
the purpose of gathering all statisti-
cal information required, for inducing
landowners to offer their lands for
sale in parcels, and finally, for the
purpose Of guarding these sales and
purchases, and contracts between en-
| ployors and employees, made under
the auspices of the Association, are
faithfully carried out. A branch of
the local agency will also procure
cheap and good transfer quarters, and
boarding for emigrants and protect
them against impositiOns Of all kinds,

tion will have the right to receive any
fees for services rendered, from either
buyer or seller, employer or employee,
If salaries or fees are to be paid, it
will bo done by the Assooi4 4tion.
| The people Of this great State are
identifying themselves moro and more,
| with the idea that emigration of thou
sands of Industrious and thrifty mon
is absolutely required. By aiding
and assisting the plans Of this As
sOciatiOn, that most desirable object
can be obtained, If landowners, hav-
ing largo tracts of land laying idle,
for which they must pay heavy taxes
without yielding any profits, wish to
dispose If a part Of their surplus, let
them make liberal offers to this Asso-
citation, and an opportunity will como
to sell.
In order to enable tho Association
10 carry on its business, funds are re.
ouired, and thus we call on all inter
csted in having the tdo Of emigration
direct its course to Tennessee, to lend
us their helping hand, Merchants,
real estate owners, manufacturers, cap
italists, in short, every one is more or
less directly or indirectly interested
in seeing our aims and plans crowned
with success. Then, We call on all
who think as we do, who feel literally
disposed towards our work, 10 con-
tribute, each in his way, each aOoord,
Ing to bis capacity, funds to help our
operations along.
Above all, il is the landowner who
must feel anxious to dispose OF his
surplus lands. Let those who have
large possessions deed to the AssoOia,
ton small tracts, under the promise
that they be settled and plaOed under
cultivation 10 a given time. Tbe As-
sociation will thon send good mon TO
those decided places and So an indnoe.
ment will be offePed to others Of their
acquaintance 10 como and settle
around them.
