AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO GOOD.

We continue to receive daily most en-
couraging proofs of the very general in
terest prevailing throughout the North
concerning East Tennessee. Every mail
brings us numerous subscriptions to our
Weekly, and letters of inquiry showing a
growing anxiety to learn more of our
country. This is work in which every
citizen of East Tennessee is interested.
They can aid in it very much if they will.
They can do good, first by showing some
attention to visitors as they come to look
after our lands, and second, by aiding in
placing the facts of interest before the many
thousands thinking of selecting homes in
the South. Now is the time to act in the
matter, for never before have we known
such wide-spreadinterestto exist. Judge
Nelson took the proper view of this sub
ject in his lecture last week, when he said
we, as geople, ought to Invite this immi-
grafton. We need it and it will do US
good. Let US, therefore, act and give
some outward evidence of the feeling most
all our people entertain. A few hundred
dollars expended by Knoxville in circn-
lating reliable facts about East Tennessee
would be the very best investment Knox
vile business men and property holders
could make. One other suggestion. There
is enough idle land in Knox county to
make good farms for hundreds of thrifty
farmers from the North who will come
here with capital and great industry. 1t
would be a capital good thing if these
lands could be put in the market and sold
to such men at reasonable prices. 1t is
doing the owners no good now, and is
really drawback to our county, for it
does not yeald taxes or increase our pros
perity. We know of men having come
here ready to give good prices for lands
that have not paid taxes since the war,
and yet they could not buy them. No one
can expect land holders to sell for nothing,
but the country would be the gamer if all
persons having more lands than they use or
need would sell them at reasonable prices.

KENTUCKY has advanced far enough in
the progress of civilization to allow crime
to be exposed and criminals to be punish
ed on the testimony of colored witnesses.
She will after awhile begin to educate her
people and then the Kuklux will probably
cease hanging men unmolested under the
shadow of her State house.
