Yours Truly.
w. H. WooDBRiDGE.

The above is Il candid statement,
from a candid man, to his old friends
and neighbors. There are scores of
people in Minneapolis, who have been
to California, and returned, who make
the same statement.
Now this is quite different from the
testimoney of Northern men who have
gone to Tennessee. They all unite in
saying it is the best place for a man of
limited means that they ever saw, and
nos is the time for both the man of
limited means, and the man of capital
to 90 there. The first cin get him
good land, not under cultivation, from
s1.00 to $1,000 peraere, and land un-
der cultivation, from 50 to $40 per
acre. The former can purchase these
lands, in urge quantities, from 70
cents to SO per acre. The same Lands
with the great immigration, in less
than five years, will he worth from s.
to 500 per acre and cannot be bought
for less price.
The land holders of that State are
very anxious to part with one-half Oh
more Of their lands, at this time, at
low prices, well knowing that the class
OF immigrants that will e attracted
there viii help develop the country,
and make the remainder of their iaAu
worth twice what it now is.
Again, Tennessee is just beginning
TO wurk her mines of coal, iron ana
marble, all of the richest and finest
quality. Oh this continent, and in mex
lnustinle quantities. There is ROW ii
chance for those who have their S12,-
900 to $40, 600 that Mr. Woodbridge
speaks of, to become the possessors OF
f.om 1900 10 10000 acres Of this
land, which will in less than
ten years, he worth an independent
fortune Send to me and | vii. send
you the Resources If Tennessee
hook of nearly 200 pages, lately issued
10y the Bo ri Of Agriculture of that
state, which gives a full and impar-
tial descr ption of its resources, it,
lands, minerals, DC.
There are thousands who have l,een
Of going to California, who
are now turning their thoughts toward
Tennessee, 1t SITS but little go there
about S3O-takes but 48 hours, anu
when there you are in the center of the
United States.
Call on, or address me, 205 Nicollet
Ave, Minneapolis, Mimi, AMI l will
show you letters, of number OF
Northern men, who are now in that
State, or ! viii send some by mail.
Colonies are icing formed for different
parts of Tennessee. Send in your
names.
WORD 70 TENNESSEE EDITORS.
Will you permit me to urge upon
you the necessity of circulating, coca
sionally, an extra edition of your pa
per, widely over the North-siid edi-
tion to contain correct, full, reliable
and definite information IN regard To
your section nf the Statey suggested
this matter some weeks ago. A few
papers have already entered into the
matter with true split. l will give
an instance, which viii serve as an ex-
ample.
The New Era, at McMinnville, fill
cd about two pages Of its issue of April
29th, with such information and sta
tistics Of their section, printed eli over
10000 extra copies and sent them
over the Northern States. / wish it
had been 100000. No better invest
ment could have been made. They
sent NE - copies. In one day they
were all judiciously disu%huted. /
could have used 500 copies to the best
advantage.
You must rely on this plan to make
known the superior advantages Of your
noble State. Most Northern papers
are afraid To publish my ietters. and
are beginning 10 shut me out Of their
columns. California Is eng ovelrun
and those vino have gone there, begin
to write Giscousaging letters. Now is
the time to strike for Tennessee. 1t
must he done. Send me your papers.
L will circulate them.
