While the Western States have organ
lied bureaus and placed at their disposal
large sums of money and at their head
men of great energy and business eapaci-
ty, for the purpose of securing the great
mass of immigrants that weekly land on
our shores, Tennessee has left the field to
be occupied entirely by private enterprise,
There are: but few men of Judgment to be
found, who do not admit the benefits Ger
tain to flow from increased population !;
but few to deny that migration sbuilt
up the Northwest asby magic, and yet the
only organization since the, war eton foot
to aid in securing it, was hastily abolished
last year and the wheie movement aband-
oned. What is being done now is through
the enterprise of private parties. Several
real estate agencies in East Tennessee,
and several organizations of oitizensin diff
ferent counties have spent considerable
nloneySin circulating abroad facts about
our country and advertising the merits Of
the real estate offered for sale-I These men
are,doing at. their own expense what is o., OF
benefit to every citizen, and what, ITO say
the very least, ought to be heartily second
ed iby the State or by counties and cities
They do it, of cours, to further their own
business, but their business is one which
directly profits others as much as them
selves. .ss7esHs 1aaTs sif div isiHieg
AnFincident came teiour notice 3esterday
that shows the good being done, and that
suggests how much more might be done
by proper effort. A party of gentlemen
Just returning from Australia, by wayse
San Francisco and the Pacific Railroad,
saw, while travelling in the cars, IN the
New York Tribune Jeur hadvertisement Of
the WEEKLY CHRoSfeLE and SourS East
Tennessee articles. As soon as they reach
ed, home, they sent for our Weekly, be-
came interested in our Facts, and reading
In it the advertisement of our real estate
agents, sent to Munson & Bailey for one of
their Real Estate Registers. In it they
saw the description of some farms they
thought would suit them; so they came to
Knoxville to prospect for a. home.oSThey
were pleased with one of the finest farms
in the county, and left yesterday for home,
to make theirfarmpgements,to return and
locate in our midst. They are men OF
capital and energys 50 represented to us,
and we hope they may certainly come and
bring Others with them, as they expect to

We only refer to this as one of many in
stances where good men men of means
and enterprise are brought here through
such agencies. The value of advertising
and the good work being done by our real
estate agents and by our East Tennessee
aeticles are in this way realized almost in
every days experience. ~ .r E. g
We have just printed at our job office, fol
county society at New Market, several
thousand pamphlets giving information
about jefferson county its lands, situation
shipping facihtiess DC. These are to bt
pratuitousdy distributed throughout the
North, and cannot fail to do good not only
30 Jefferson county, but to all East Ten
nessee. This is done at the expense of
few publieyspirited citizens Of that county
whose names we gave some days ago. sSff
need more such liberal, wide-awake men,
This city ought TO pay for the circulation
printing of ten Thousand such pam.
