Emigration TO tennessee
Cincinnati Commercial.

There is a growing interest in
favor of Tennessee as a place of en-
igration for those who cannot well
endure the colder climates of the
North. To such, all things consid-
cred, it is one of the most, if not the
most favorable, States in the Union.
The Nashville American recently
stated that the State Commissioner
of Agriculture had received letter
from a gentleman in Ohio, in which
the writer said that he, in company
with a number of others, intended
to emigrate to Tennessee this fall.
The Commissioner is of the opinion
that later in the winter there will
be considerable emigration to that
State from Northern States.
The State possesses many advan-
tages as a home for the emigrant
above others of the South. The
manner of farming and the habits
of the people are, in most particu-
lars, like those of the North, and
the crops are much the same. Con-
sequently, the farmer emigrant has
very little to learn AN item of con-
siderable importance to a man in a
strange land. AS a result of the
war, land of superior quality and
location can be purchased at a price
much below its real value.
Commissioner KiIlebrew says that
traders and professional men are in
number equal to the demand. They
want producers, of every class:
They have room for one hundred
thousand farmers, and the same
number of skilled laborers and arti-
sans. Personal property to the
value of one thousand dollars is ex-
empt from taxation. Persons own
ing less than this pay only poll
tax. Persons desiring any informa-
ton can secure it by addressing let
tiers to the Bureau of immigration,
Nashville, Tenn. Gov. Porter as
sures every industrious emigrant a
cordial welcome. There is not now
and there has never been any inter-
ference in Tennessee with the freed
ON of elections.

Two Noted Grave Robbers.

Our readers will remember the
account given in these columns
the robbing of the grave of the
Hon. Scott Harrison, in Ohio,
last May, tie body being found
in the dissecting room of the
Ohio Medical College. Public
Indignation justly brands any
man as a scoundrel who will rob the
grave of the dead. But there are
two noted grave robbers in the
country so far from being the sub
jects of the peoples wrath, are uni
Versally lauded for their virtues.
The reason is plain. While the for
mer class steal the dead bodies of
our loved ones to submit them to
the dissecting knife, these only rob
the graves to restore the living vic
TINS to our hearts and homes. Their
nameS-Dr. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery and Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets-are household words
the world over. The Golden Medi-
cal Discovery cures consumption,
in its early stages, and all bronchial,
throat, and lung affections; Pleasant
Purgative Pellets are the most val
liable laxative und cathartic.
