olOuntsvitie, VIII please accept our eoIuiai
hanks for his efforts 10 behalf of our pa
per, sending US, as he does, such handsome
clubs and words of cheer. We are not un-
mindful of our friend K, at Kelley's Land
ing, on the Tennessee, for his very accept |
able list of about one dozen, "from his first
effort to get subscribers for The people'sOld
friend-the UNION AND AMERICAN--wiih /
promise 10 send Us many more soon."
Thats the way TO work, kind friend, and
we hope others will follow suit. That |
working friend, p. T., at Sparta, and our
newly added old friend, ]. II. O., on |
Stokes & Bowles' CalfKiller, have many
thanks for late and promised favors, which
we hope will come thick and fast. Their
assurances of the growing favor with which
the citizens are taking the peoples paper
are gratefully received, for which We shall
labor increasingly.
The verv fattering notice from our
sterling friend ] c. Ct, that "the UNION
AND AMERICAN is regarded by all fair
minded persons as calm, dispassionste, M
sensational and reliable; and entitled to
the respect, confidence and support of the
true people" is what many others had
given TO US in broken doses, and We are
profoundly grateful for all such tokens Of
good opinion and well wishes. 1t shall be
our highest ambition to SO conduct our
ournal that not only we and our friends.
but the whole people of Tennessee, shall
feel an honest pride in having one such
paper published in our State. We shall
endeavor to divest ourselves Of prejudice
and Partially, stating facts plainly; trying
to allay rather than stir up strife;- aiming
to publish nothing unreliable, nothing
that would exclude our psper from the
family circle; striving TO make it enter
prisipg, informing. elevating and refining
ever battling for the right. .r.
Our clever friend E. w. H., at Bunker
Hill, sends Us batch for which we thank
him and shall look out for the others.
That veteran worker w, at Dixon's
Springs, is still placing us Under obligs-
tions, saying to us, "Go on in the way you
are working and You will have the entire
people with yon, as they all concede your
paper is gaining ground every day" D.
at Cookeville has not forgotten TO send his
quota of Subscribers and words of cheer
M. at Smyrna is one of our hyest and
best friends, as shown by what he does and
says for the paper, which he regards as
better than any other paper ever published
in Tennessee, and rapidly increasing in
favor among all the people. 10 COM
pairing il with others, he says they freely
concede its superiority in many respects
more reliable and not SenSdtional-a good
family and excellent commercial paper
and invaluable to all who want the best
information in the neatest style" We ask
that all give it as fair a trial as our
Smyrna friend. Our friend NJ, Of the
Palmetto" will accept thanks for his eff
forts in our behalf, and we hope he will be
able to send US many more. Our energetic
friend F. at GAINESVILLE is almost daily
sending us new names, and encourage
ments. Such friends are what help 10
build up the peoples paper. Let others
do likewise Our old time 2. at Celina,
says Eve want to get the liviliest paper and
such we are satisfied is yonrs. Let us
know your terms for clubs and we will
send you a large number from this
county" Your request has been attended
to and we shall expect good reports from
you all up in Overton, if the militia don't
put every thing out Of joint.
