MIDDLE TENNIS OPPORTUNITY.
Programme of the Tour of Northern Land
ProspectOrs and Correspondents.

Programme of the Tour of Northern Land
Prospectors and Correspondents.
|
We have adopted the following
programme for the tour of Middle
Tennessee by northwestern land
prospectors and the correspondents
of northwestern papers, and publish
the same for the benefit and guild
ance of all interested parties.
We will state by way of preface
that the prime object of this tour
is to advertise the state through a
large number OF widely circulated
northern newspapers, and thus in
connection with the recent tour of
! West Tennessee and one we hope
will be made through East Tennes-
see at an early day, give an impe-
tus to the movement of capital and
thrifty settlers to Tennessee that
will be as irresistible as it is en-
riching. We will further state that
owing to non-responses, or the IN
favorable running of the trains, or
bad connections, and the necessity
of completing the tour within Civ
en- time, several important places
ale not embraced in the programme
that we would have been pleased to
show our northern visitors. To all
such places we say, have your land
agents or committees to meet the
excursionists at the most conven-
lent points and ,endeavor to organ
ize parties to return home with
them to look at their lands, etc.
Every facility will be afforded
them 10 make their efforts sue
cessful.
1t is impossible thus far in ad-
vance to give an approximate esti-
mate of the number Of excursion
lists, but we think the party will
not number less than 100, and may
be more. Our friends of Middle
Tennessee may rest assured of the
fact that there will be several capi
talists looking for investments, and
many who desire broad acres for
sheep and cattle ranches. also fif
teen or twenty editors and cores
pondents in the party.
We would respectfully suggest
that committees of reception be or
ganized IN each town where the Wis
itors are expected to stop over,
that an interchange of views may
be called for by our own people as
well as by our visitors.
