We indOrse its plans and purposes as

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 12.-I am
shout to issue from this office "The
Tennessee Land and Investment Regis
ter" in accordance with the provisions
Of the act. All parties who have in
vestments to offer bave the privilege,
either individually or through their
agents, to list the same with the COM
missioner upon the payment of g fee Of
two dollars, the description not TO ex-
ceed, say about ten lines OF an ordinary
newspaper columns, nOnpaTeil type. This
is recorded on the books Of the Office
and open for the inspection OF all VINO
come to our State seeking investment.
In addition to this, it is inserted in the
"RegsteT," which will be published as
frequently ss the funds will permit and
sent broadcast in the north, northwest
and Europe. Ia this the attractions Of
ouI State will be set forth in as con-
densed and attractive . style as possible.
1t is hoped We viii be able to send cut
lot less than fifty thousand of each is
sue, and these will be sent in the chan
nels where they are likely to be effect
i've. Besides this, they Will have one
insertion in the Rural sam, which has a
very large home circulation, from which
you will see that by this com bingtion of
effort the property Will be most effect
lively advertised, as also will the real es-
tate agent through whom it is offered.
We wish to have Il distinctly understood
that the commissioner himself does not
sell any lands, and has no interest in
the commissions or profits resulting
from such sales. 1t is his duty and de-
sire, however, 10 cordially Cooperate
with every respectable real estate sgent
in tbe State, that by combination OF
effort our rich resources may be placed
prominently before the world. We wish
it further understood that the commits
siOHer has 20 interest ia the proceeds Of
the fees, the whole amount 10 be ex-
pended in the publication Of the Greg
ister" Thus, you will perceive, that
the number OF copies issued will depend
upon the extent Of the co. operation.
To further the work OF cooperation we
will publish the list Of the zeal estate
agents, companies or associations CO.
operating with the bureau, aud place
their name st the head OF the lands
listed through them. Their card will be
placed upon the same footing as q land
advertisement, viz; two dollars FOR each
Insertion, and as we publish il at least
four times 3 year the agents who decide
to cooperate had, therefore, better send
their fee for the year st Once-eiglt dol
lar; they viii then be placed regularly
upon cur list as cooperating agents, and
their names will appear in each issue,
whether they have any lsnds listed
with US or not. You will perceive at
once that in no other way can you Sc
cure so much effective advertising for so
small au smount of money. We earn.
estly request you TO take this matter into
serious consideration, and to urge upon
your clients the pTOpTiety Of Saving
