House be erected on suitable spot
that will answer the purposes of JUS
tice, and at the same time improve q
taste among our people for architec-
tural magnificence, harmony and
beauty, and minister to that Just
pride which every good citizen should
feel in public improvements.
THE future welfare and prosperity
of GAINESVILLE, depends upon the es-
Enlistment of manufactures and i'm
migration to our county. View the
situation from any stand point you
may, If your reasoning be founded
upon common sense principles, you
are necessarily forced to this conclus-
ion. Assertions are cheap. Stop
and let's examine the subject in de-
tail, and ascertain the ingredients
essential to prosperity. In the first
place we must know what is neces-
sary to the prosperity of people. -
What is the great lever that raises
the merchant, manufacturer, profess
sional man and mechanic to opu-
lence? We find an answer to our
enquiry by turning to New York,
Chicago or any other thriving go
ahend place. A concentration ofmon-
ey is the essential in this regard
To attract and absorb, or locate cap
ital is no longer a vexed question.
The manner of doing a great many
things is patent to multitudes and
the necessity of action, prompt and
determined and well directed, is the
thing of paramount Importance, and
what we desire at this time of inn
planting i'm the minds of our people.
The things we most need and must
have, before we can advance in pro-
gress and prosperity are: first, a more
numerous husbandry--we have too
much farming lands, and not enough
farmers. Taxes are too onerous for
our producing capacity. We want
more producers and more tax payers.
Land monopolies are the bane of
advancement and must cease, and it
is necessary to the advancement of
civilization and the incoming of pros
perity that land mongers be super
seded by productive industry. The
time has come for action and reform
in these matters, and we propose agi-
tating them until the people are in
duced to walk in the paths of progress
and reform. Let those who have an
excess OF farming lands, study its
advantageous subdivision into fifty
and hundred acre tracts, and place 1t
In the market at prices commensu-
rate with its local advantages and
productive capacity; and where the
necessities of the case will admit,
make good terms. In which TO have
the purchase money paid, and fail
not to keep in mind the great impor-
lance of accepting fair prices.
We throw out these hints for your
digestion, and have no more interest
in the matter than any other citizen
who desires the general good of the
{ community in which he lives.
} There are many at this time in the
North and Northwest, who are anx.
, ious to come to Tennessee, where the
soil is rs good and the climate incom.
, parably better than theirs. These peo.
/ pie would take up their abiding plac,
with us, but they cannot make any
r move toward doing so until Ian,
| Is offered them upon advantageou,
{ terms, and inducements held out suf
ticient to justify them in making tn,
e change and a good prospect of en-
I HANGING their future welfare. Othe
