Col. KiIlebrew.

Through the kindness OF Col. Nile
brew Commissioner of Agriculture,
Statistics, Mines and Immigration for
the State we have received three val
liable pamphlets prepared by him. the
first entitled. "West Tennessee, its
Resources and Advantages; second,
"Middle Tennessee as an Iron Centre"
third, Tennessee the Home for In
telligent Immigrants" A cursory ex-
animation of these pamphlets war
rants us in saying that each is well
filled with information appertalnlng to
the subject treated. The statistics
have been carefully prepared and pre-
sents a most excellent showing for the
commercial advantages of Tennessee.
The duties of Col. Killebrew have
been so onerous heretofore that he has
not given this division of the state es-
pecial notice until the appearance OF
his exhaustive review of it, in which
he makes a vigorous effort to direct
portion of the stream of Immigration
now pouring into the state to West
Tennessee. In justice to Col. kiiie'
brew, it must be said, he has done
more for the material interests of the
state than perhaps any citizen of Ten
nessee. He has been a laborious work
er and canvcssed every subject which
would turn the attention of those de-
string homes il. this direction. Fur
thermore, he hasiinduced hundreds OF
Immigrants to settle with US, and thus
brought into market many thousand
acres of uncultured lands. 1t cannot
be denied that Col. Killebrew.i is
Jealous public servant and every citl-
zen of the state appreciates bis efforts
to reg Tin our broken for unes. That
he may continue in the good work SO
well advanced and that his future sue
cesses may be equal TO that already
achieved is the wish of the EXCHANGE.

on, it would not be ten years before
the California farmers would be more
independent than the farmers OF any
other State or country in the world. lt is
sometimes said that people should learn to
economic expenses when times are hard and
money scarce, but we believe the advice is
equally good when times and prospects are
good If economy is practiced then the
hard times will never come. Voluntary econ
omy is much more agreeable and much
wiser economy than forced economy. Never
buy anything you do not need because 1t
is cheap or because you have the
money in your pocket to pay Tor
it. Farmers in this State have, with
reason. complained of the high rate of inter
est on money, and have sometimes favored
the passage of usury laws to force lower
rate from money-lenders but the best usury
law, or the best law to reduce the interest on
money, and the one most easily passed, is the

heve that the taxes have been paid up more
promptly and more fully this year in the ag-

that more mortgages have been lifted and

farmers are approaching nearer to indie

and are therefore nearer to the
point when they can pay as they 90.
