| We are pleased to note the fact that we nave
just completed and delivered the last OF an ISSUE
ofseyeral thousand OF the Tennessee Lana feytS-
| ters, published-by Messrs.e Munsons q Dailey,
| Real Estate and Fire Insurance Agents OF our
| CITY. and who. we must say, as we have often
nreviouslv said are entitled to great credit for
their enterprise and zeal in the work of emigra-
| ton. These gentlemen have published during
| the mast Isl eighteen months from commence
ment of their business about $4,000 fourteen
! thousand circulars, the greater part Of which
having been printed on fine book paper and in
| book-form. Their experience teaches that this
mode of representing the country and advertis-
inc property is the most iudicious from the fact
! thata book will be kept and read and handed to
| others to read, and they know of many instances
where a single Register has been handed
around and read by a whole neighborhOod,
the result of which was thata ''reprcsentatiUe'
was sent out to look around and report, many
of whom have visited East Tennessee during
the past year. Besides the large number Of
Land Registers published by these gentlemen
they have, also, published very correct and
complete small map ofthe State, which is also
being distributed for the benefit Of those seeking
Information about our country. We can also
add that these publications have been most ju-
diciously distributed, the most of which have
been sent to parties actually writing for lntor-
nation. "v
The results of this enterprise and great outlay
are now being realized by our city and country,
witnessed by number of sales of farm lands
to persons of considerable means and the build
ing up cur manufacturers, and the decision OF
Nessrs. Wick's and Eldridge to start large
wagon and carriage mandatory here, is due to
them to a large extent They first induced them
to come here and on their arrival gave them all
the. information in their power showing them
the various materials to be obtained of our va
tive production fully convincing them of the
superior advantages offered for thier business.
We might also add that negotiations are now
going on with capitalists for the building up OF
manufactures in our city which, il consumma-
ted, will add more to the prosperity of Knox
vile than the building of all the store houses
erected since the war. These are the great in
terests of our city-fH up the country to three
or five times its present number, and build up
our manufactures, and we can then truly be
proud of our beautiful country and excellent
climate How supremely ridiculous it is for us
to be bringing wagons from Wisconsin and
Michigan to be worn out on our own non beds
or i'm our woods, of as fine timber as there is in
the world, or as a gentleman remarked a few
DAYS since who knew whereof he spokO,"
I'VE have as fine material as there is anywhere
from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada as he
knew from personal observation. Cannot our
city, our Board of Trade. and our various aSso-
citations, Of which we can well boast, all do
something, by way of publication or otherwise,
to let our advantages be known to the world ?
Such q course would do~much to advance our
interests, and contribute largely to our future
