ofthe kind was ever sent out before IN

munities advertise, and they generally
prosper. To keep up with the progress
Of the world we must use all the means
of other growing cities aud States to keep
No with them, otherwise We will be left
in the rear. Colonel DaPre is the very
man TO do such work as this faithfully
and to make a good impression concern
ing this section Of the country. The
other commissioners are accomplished
gentlemen, and some Of them good I'M
gusts also, and with their combined
efforts a little current Of immigration
might be set toward Tennessee that in
after years would swell to . mighty tide,
spreading ont over many States, 6lhng
np the wide spaces between our farm

sum total Of our wealth, prosperity and
general welfare. Two or three public
spirited gentlemen have already con
tributed very literally toward the object
in view, and it is hoped that Others will
give something in proportion to clrcum-
stances and their enlarged ideas Of real

appropriation to carry out the work OF
such a bureau. The last General As

in some respects, and made approprla-
ton of SIC, 900 to carry the aetinto effect.
The commissioners are required TO col
lect statistics of our agricultural resources
and operations, and TO perform other du-
ties which are specified The printing Of
their report for general use is not to be
included in the $4,000 appropriated.
A little money and work could not be APP
applied TO any purpose more conducive
TO interests of the commonwealth. The
valuable information thus disseminated
will not only suggest and set in opera
