LOOKING FOR HOMES.

been visiting our town aud county
for several days past for the pur-
pose of selecting and purchasing
farm homes for themselves
and Eve other families Of their coun.
ty who propose locating here with
US. They have examined many OF
the farms. in this vicinity aud regard
this section as the most desirable
they have visited in the State. They
say there is a strong disposition on
the part of many OF their friends at
home, both manufacturers, laborers
and farmers TO remove To warmer
climate, and Tennessee is very ia
vorably considered by all Of them.
To this we can truthfully say, and
with pride, that there is ne country
more productive or more beautiful.
and no climate more salubrious in
this country than that of East Ten
nessee. In Hamblen county we
have tie best Of soils, cultivated
and intelligent community, and lands
which can be bought at moderate
prices. Our people will be found to
be generous, hospitable and kind to
all who desire to settle in orr midst
and aid in promoting the prosperity
of the community. The welcome
immigrant comes to link his future
prosperity with that of his new
neighbors. He wants home where
he can settle for life, where in a mild
climate. away from the rigorous win
ters Of the North he can live peace
fully, happily and prosperously. He
wants to identify himself with the
people with whom he lives. and unite
with them in The common purpose
of promoting the welfare Of all. Such
men are always welcomed in our
community. and will always find Our
people ready TO aid and assist them.
Many Northern people have very
wrong notion of the sentiments OF
the Southern people toward them
There is no antagOnism between our
people and those of the Northern
States. 1t is ehly when men from
that section have endeavored to OPP
press the Southern people by infam
ing the minds of the negroes and
getting into office, that we have aught
to say against them. The Northern
men who have settled here will bear
testimony to the uniform kindness
and respect they have received at
the hands Of our people.
Hamblen county is one OF the best
and most desirable counties in the
State. Her fertile fields are unsur
passed by any in the South. Corn
wheat, rye. oats, potatoes. onions
broom corn, blue grass, and all the
grasses grow here and yield with
proper culture an abundant harvest
Our farmers are beginning 10 turn
their attention more to raising stock
for the past year or so than ever be
fore, and in a few years Hamblen
will be second to no county in the
State as a stock county. Fine
bIooded horses, cattle, hogs, sheep
and poultry may be found on almost
every farm, and the interest in this
pleasant and profitable industry is
rapidly increasing. Our people have
not yet entirely reco, cred from the
disastrous effects of the war, ard fol
this reason many valuable tracts o.
land can he bought at moderate fig
ures. Altogether. considering the
fertility Of the soil, the beauty o
the country, the hospiI ality Of the
people, the school facilities, the &C
feasibility to good markets and the
healthfulness Of the climate. w
know Of no more inviting prospec
for the immigrant who desires Il
find a pleasant and prosperous home
We hope not only that Mesers. Sha"
and Parker, and their company may
find suitable homes in our vicinity
bus that hundreds of men, from thei
section, equally as desirable may b
induced To locate in our vicinity.
