Tennessee Lands.

Commissioner Kiilebrew received
yesterday, a letter from a party in New
York, making inquiry regarding Ten
nessee lands. The following is an ex-
tract:
al have occasional calls for Tennes-
see lands. a gentleman asked me to-
day if could tell him where he could
buy a good blue grass farm in Middle
Tennessee worth from 5000 to $40,
600. He is in earnest and intends to
move to Tennessee. send me discrip>
tons of some of the places on your
books. Can you furnish me in one
body from 10000 TO $4,000 acres Of
land? If SO. I can find a purchaser, if
the land can be handled cheap. To
give you an idea of whata mania there
is for Southern lands, put an adver-
tisement in the Herald last Sunday,
Tennessee lands for sale, and | have
sevenfy-two letters in reply"
A letter dated at Boston, April 80,
states that a party of four capitalists
would leave that city on the Friday
following to view 100000 acres of
Cumberland Mountain table lands,
owned by Cyrus Clark, of Pennsylvania,
with the expectation of making "a pur,
chase for the colonization of Eastern

Immigration to Tennessee.

The following is taken from the inn
migration report of Commissioner XII
Hebrew for the month of April. He
says:
"There have been fewer arrivals du-
ring April than for any month since
September last, butsuch as have come
are of a more substantial character,
and the correspondence shows that the
attention of men of capital is more and
more being turned south instead of
west and north west.
"There are now several parties look
ing over the State, with a view of go
ing largely into the raising of stock.
Some, or a majority, of this class intend
going into sheep raising. Three MEN
are now here from New York with a
view of establishing diaries, and one
large breeder of fine stock in Indiana
Is expected here in few days to look
for the best location for his business in
Tennessee.
every indication assures us that
there will lie heavier immigration to
this State the coming fall than was
ever before known.
The follwing is list of the number
of persons reporting to this office:
From Wisconsin,, 80.
From Michigan, 20.
From Ohio, 8.
From Minnesota, 9.
From Pennsylvania, s.
From Illinois, 3.
From New York, 3.
Total, SO.
"a large number have gone out to
prospect and have not yet reported.
| am looking on every train for large
party from Wisconsin-of men of
means. There are seven families in
one party, all coming to purchase and
settle, and | am also expecting d num-
Der of families from Minnesota and
Ohio. The prospect for a large in
crease in Tennessee's population is
very fattering.

A Pointed Paragraph.

The following very sensible words
we clip from last weeks Holly Springs
South. There is volume of truth in
the paragraph. 1t makes no differ
ence how fine a stock of goods you
have, or how competent you are as
mechanic or professional man, if you
don't push your business--advertise
1t in some way or other-you will
certainly be left behind in the race
for wealth. Read and ponder the
following lines:
There was an old story about DR.
Easy and DR. Pussy. DR. Easy was
a great scientific, scholarly, well IN
formed and lazy man in his profession.
DIR Fussy was a man of fair common
sense, moderate knowledge, conscious
of his Deficiencies, full of energy and
industry and certain that everything
depended on exertion. DR. Easy loll-
ed in his arm chair, waited for busl-
ness, was sure it would come to him,
that his talents would command it
without solicitation, and got few pa,
tients or fees. But DIR Fussy jumped
on his horse a dozen times a day and
rode about from place to place as if in
great hurry to save somebody's life,
talked with everybody, madeacquaint-
ances, and people praised him as asmart
and clever fellow, and he got patients
and tees in abundance. So DIR Easy
grew poor ond seedy, and DIR Fussy
grew rich and fat. There is a moral
in the story, to the merchant and me-
chanic as we'll as to the professional
man. If you want business you must
let the world know you are able and
ready to do it-you must advertise
drum, humbug or starve.
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1878-05-09

Some of our Texas subscribers COM
plain that they do not receive their
papers regularly. Weknow our mails
are well wrapped and printed in large
letters; so the fault must be with pos
tai clerks or post masters. We hope
those in authority will remedy this
trouble.-MIan Exchange
And some of our New South Wales
and Hong Kong subscribers complain
that the Review reaches them some
times long time after it is due, and
in a worn out condition in consequence
of the eagerness Of wayside postmas-
ters to read it on the way to its
destination. We hope the u. S.
Government will tnke this matter in
hand, look after it, and put a stop to
the eyil.--Houstoa Go. RerieC.
Now, Broaddus is evidently putting
on airs. This is intended to have a
double meaning: first to throw suspi-
cion on the fact Of the EXCHANGE
having Texas subscribers second, to
make the impression, that he has them
where they are not. Now Billie keep
cool and don't get your nap up, be-
cause other papers have a more ex-
tenSive circulation than yours. All
the trouble about it is, that the mel-
Its of the Review are not properly APP
preciated. Oar little paper not six
months old has a circulation from the
old Bay State to the lone Star State,
and from the Atlantic to the golden
slopes Of the Pacific. All from kind
friends and due appreciation of mer-
it. Now if you can't get out Of Hous-
ton county, don't blame anybody but
yourself. -A&,Laad PlaindedLer.
IF the above comments will have a
good effect on the handlers of the
mail, all right. Just keep pegging
away, boys.
