A number of our leading and most
responsible colored men who own prop
erty ranging from 5000 to $4,000, have
been holding meetings for several days
for the purpose of organizing company
having for its objects the purchase Of
large tracts of land in some quarter Of
East Tennessee. Should the project
succeed, a colony will be established
and several industries attempted, chief
among which will be farming and stock
raising. q .fa ,s4
The land at present in contemplation
is situated on Cumberland mountain
and eau be had at from 50 to S. per
acres. A committee will at once be
sent to inspect it, and if it is found sat.
isfactory, active measures will be insti-
tuted to execute the design. No assist
ance from abroad will be sought, bu,
the colony will be organized by the
colored men on their own resources.-
