the TIDE TURNING.

Editor Exchange:
/ wish every editor, at least, II
Tennessee, could spend al hour or two,
Just ole morning, in reading the pos
tai cards and letters received by mail
that morning, and then remain during
the day IN our ssnctum and printing
Office, and notice the routine of enc
DAVIS work. Il these men Of the
quill did not 90 away eHthuSed, and
We did net hear SOME loud talk for
emigration in the next issue Of their
several papers, thea we would say
they wcsc mere !ethGrgi; than we be-
| heyed,
We VII give Al account Of yostor-
days work (JUpc 8;A.) Arrived at
ei.c Office at 81 a. M, commenced
reading letters aud postal cards from
the late last nights mail. Soon the
mornings maii was brought I'D.
Worked hard registering names N
our books for applicants tor docu-
ments, and answering such letters rs
my circulars would not answer, untl
10 T., n. BY this t;I2e one Of my
boys had q supply Of envelopes filed
with ci1culars-while another was
folaing-rcady for me to direct. To
show what the contents Of these Ell
velopes are, 7 VIII send ycu enc. You
are at liberty 10 publish any Of them.
The day was spent, Dy me, in alter
mating between talking Tennessee to
people who came 70 see NE for that
purpose, and in directing envelopes
and enclosing circulars. When night
came We had geo stpE9d envelopes,
with tx or seven circulars in each, di-
rected, stamped, and sent TO the Office.
This routine is repeated each day,
week in and week cut
! merely mention these matters to
show the people Of your State anlthe
South, Ltcr large numbers are going o
Arkansas and the G9if States. VIVA:
vide sp-ead Determination there Is
70 change 70 q m;idcr climate; AND
ucw, as disappointed thousands are
returning FROM tie West, the tide IS
turning u he Solth.
1t viii be II easy 2,a..o- -cw, for
any county, with Little effort TO ad-
vertise its resources, and send me def
mite descriptions Of lands, and other
property fer sale, with best terms and
loves. prices, - attract q large emf
grafton. Please act promptly in this
matter.
Parties are. writing me from all
quarters fer information as TO the
whole range Of industries, and "where
Is TIE lest place to locate, for my bus
incss ?" There Is a large class OF stir
ring, skiilful, erterprising men, who,
either are 10: able to purchase lands
now, or wish to wait, before pUrchas-
ing, until they can sell here, who
would 60 at once, i they could rent,
cultivate on shares, CT open dair;es,
market gardens, manufactures, ETC.,
with little help Or encouragement.
These men would soon accumulate
property, advance the price Of lands,
and become substantial citizens.
Again let me urge immediate &C
ton. Let any man who wishes to
sell ali or a part Of his lands, Or has
any encouragement to offer, write me
az once--dgn't wait for large bodies to
move.
We are not prejudiced in favor Of
any particular section of Tennessee. !
We like the Western, Middle and
Eastern parts. From what we have
learned we are inclined to think YES
tern Tennessee has the advantage in
point Of soil, timber, water and rail
road transportation, while Middle
aad Eastern Tennessee excel in miner
ais, water power and mountain scene
rY. AL parts are good; and such is
the variety Of climate, and range Of
productions Und industries that every
preference can be satisfied The
range and variety is greater .han in
any country Of the same size on earth.
Now, then, half Of the papers pub
lished in Tennessee 1 d. not Jet re-
ceive. It is mainly for the influence
that these papers viii exert where |
circulate them, that | wish them. |
Many times they serve Inc an impor-
taat purpose when people inquire
