Hayes, and others Of the Grand Lodge, X. ?.
instituted and organized Diamond Lodge, No. 16
at Kiamensi.
They start with very fine prospects, indeed !
and there is every reason to conclude that they
will, in a short time, compare very favorably
with the sister Lodges.
After the institution and organization, the
Grand 0fiters and those present were treated
to most sumptuous repast. Although it was
at late hour, the ladies were in attendance and
rendered much service to the intense satisfac-
tion Of all present-so much 80, that one Of the
party was heard to say at leaving, that he felt
like singing that familiar strain of Watts

Facts About East Tennessee.

/ have not seen, Mr.. Editor, in the
whole course of my life, more honest,
straight forward and graphic description OF
East Tennessee than is contained in the
article from the trenchant pen of the in
telligent editor of the Lancaster IateLli-
gencer," paper conducted with marked
ability, in Pennsylvania, by II. G Smith,
Esq. Mr.. Smith, it seems, visited our Sec
ton during last fall, and, as the reader
will see, was perfectly delighted with our
climate, soil and people. I want to call
specific attention to the article. If you
commence reading it, you cannot stop un-
til you get through. I am SO much pleased
with it that want you to publish for my
use as Commissioner of Immigra-
ton" three or four thousand circu-
lars. 1t is just such document
as our section demands, and its publication
| and circulation will do vast deal to in
vite attention to our highly favored Sec
ton. In the name of all our citizens, I
| thus publicly acknowledge our indebted
ness to HI. G. Smith, Esq, for his noble
and generous sentiments concerning East
Tennessee. No gentleman would be more
welcome in our midst, and more earnest
object of our hospitality than he. I know
the letter will be read.
