Madelon, You can find a list of Tennessee newspapers on microfilm at the Tennessee State Library and Archives on the following page of their WWW site: http://www.state.tn.us/sos/statelib/pubsvs/tn-paper.htm They will loan newspapers on microfilm to other libraries in Tennessee, but do not loan newspaper microfilms to libraries outside of the state. Their interlibrary loan policies and procedures can be found on their website at: http://www.state.tn.us./sos/statelib/pubsvs/mailill.htm The newspapers and dates included are listed by towns, I believe, with the county the town is located in enclosed in parentheses after the name of the town or city. The index lists the towns or cities alphabetically. Hope this helps.
