INTERESTING TO IMMIGRANTS.

THE KNOXVILLE WEEKLY CHRONICLE FOR 1871.

A Large Eight Page Journal, with Reading Matter on Every Page.

We propose to begin, on or about the 1st of January next, the publication of a series of articles on the Climate, Soil, Productions, Minerals, Resources and General Attractions offered by East Tennessee to Immigrants. These articles will give facts and figures, compiled with great care; and the object of their publication is to furnish general information to the great and growing class of men scattered all over the Northern States, who are now, and have been for some time, looking towards East Tennessee as a place where, if sufficient attractions were presented, they might be induced to locate. The great need of such information has been realized by us after an extensive trip North and East, and we hope by this means to be able to give circulation to facts concerning our greatly favored section, which, if once understood, will certainly draw to our doors a part at least of the great tide of immigrants that yearly add to the population and wealth of the mighty North-West. That a general diffusion of such information will result in great good to us there can be no possible doubt; for we have in our genial climate and great natural advantages the very attractions desired by so many.

The facts, if once understood, are all we need. While the growing
States of the West are constant in their efforts to attract the immi-
grant, we are content to sit quietly by and see the tide sweep un-
ceasingly past, ever enriching and strengthening those who put out
their hands towards them.

Believing that through such means more than any other our future
growth is to be secured, we have determined to direct our efforts in
the channel named, and promise to make them as thorough and effici-
ient as possible. It will be our aim to publish as much as two col-
umns of such information in every issue of our WEEKLY. A portion
of this space, and some additional to the two columns when neces-
sary, will be devoted to giving answers to all interrogatories pro-
pounded by correspondents touching the points of interest to immi-
grants. In this way we hope to awaken an interest in this subject
among our own people, and be the means of attracting attention to
what we believe to be our unsurpassed resources and advantages.
