personal interview between myself
and the parties to be named, Messrs.
Sutjn and Florence, western land
agents Of Chicago, have determined
to embark in the Tennessee move
ment. They have been very success
full in the west, enjoy the confidence
of the railroads and tho public, and
are backed by ample capital. Their
system Of advertising is comprehen-
sive and thorough, and they have &C,
tive working agents throughout the
sections from which Immigrants and
capital are to be drawn. | deem it
