Mr.. c. c. Giers, who has been GIVING
services voluntarily to the cause of i'm
migration, tells us that numerous inquiries
are made Of him every day about lands in
our State. These inquiries are made in
most instances by solid men from Ohio and
Pennsylvania who wish to exchange their
lands in those States forlands in Tennessee.
A number of foreigners also are on the
lookout for locations. We learn from Mr.
Giers that Mr. Jeup, of Cincinnati, who
recently purchased about 10000 acres OF
land in White county, upon which to settle
a number of German families, has recently
purchased several thousand acres of land
near Lawrenceburg, and proposes to settle
quite a colony along the line of the Nash
vile and Decatur railroad.

NcaIllcy County Fair.

Though the third day of this fair was
one of incessant rain, still the people came
out in crowds to witness the exhibition o.
stock, consistingof horses, jacks and mares,
which were very fine and excited great
interest among contestants and visitors.
In no portion Of the State have the people
made more rapid advances in rcgaining
their former status in the way Of fine stock
than in Weakley and adjoining counties.
In speaking of the fair we desire especially
to acknowledge the courtesy of mine host
D. L. Shaver, proprietor of the Dresden
Hotel, who is doing a fine business enter,
tanning all who call at his popular house.
He is the right man in the right place.

To the Editors of the Union and American:

SIRs- Feeling that an injustice was done
me, as a mechanic, by the decision given al
the Nashville State Fair, in regard to the
| stove which I built for J. W. Wilson, l ven
ture to trouble you with a request that you
give me place in your paper to make a
few remarks:
l. The stove was supposed to be made
GrcJu&ceIg of Tennessee iron. Mine was
made erclaacely of that material.
? Mr.. McClure's stove was made of both
non and brass.
B. The judges appointed to determine the
merits of the different stoves were not &C
quainted with the above fact
4. OF the five judges appointed, only two
were competent to give an opinion of iron
work, and they voted for me.
Now, having built this stove for Mr.. J.
w. Wilson, in accordance with the assoc
citation programme, l am determined to
send it to the Memphis Fair, where / trust,
fair decision will be made, and l am pre-
pared to back my opinion with any sum
from So to $50, that the decision, if left
to competent judges q. e boilermakers,
sheet-iron workers or coppersmiths), will
be gwen in favor of mine.
