DR.. A. w. Hawkins received a
letter from DR.. j. b. Lung, of Brook
Ign, N. Y, stating that quite a num-
Der of persons on Long Island were
thinking of moving to Tennessee, and
asking for all publications relating to
the State. He says that no doubt a
large colony will;be formed.
Major VIM. j. Sykes. in a cons
munication to the Franklin Progress,
discusses the state debt question in
very plain and comprehensive manner
and suggests settlement on the basis
go per cent of the principle with 3
per cent. for ten years, 4 per cent.
for ten years,5 per cent. for ten years,
which he says would pay the entire
debt, principal and interest, within
thirty years or less time. That paper
states: 1.-The advantage which is
apparent 20 any man who will take the
trouble to make the calculation for
himself of this proposition over a 80
and 4 settlement is that The go and 8
proposition for ten years saves every
year $4,000 in interest, and at the
end of ten years the State debt would
be considerably reduced, and the
people more able to bear the slight
increase in rate of interest. But
while there would be slight increase
in the rate of interest there would he
none in taxation, because of the re-
duction ia the amount of the princi-
pal, the plan operating so as to make
the burden of taxation about the
same all the time. Withal Mr.. Sykes
suggestions are strong and merit con-
sideration."
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1882-04-29

The state superintendent of insur.
ance of Missouri has refused to renew
the authority of the Hartford Life
and Annuity Insurance company to
do business in that state, and henceS
forth this company will not be allow
to operate in Missouri. The compa.
ny has written asking an investigation
pending which however, they must go
out of business there. One of the
grounds of the action by the superin-
tendent is that 100000 of assets is
reported invested in southern Kansas
lands, which this official considers pc.
culiar.
