offers from large firms north and east to
handle all their manufactures, and the day
is not far distant when Terrell will be ex-
porting thread, yarn, ducking, ~osnaburgs
and that class Of goods. The factory is now
giving employment to a large number Of
men, women and children, which force will
be doubled in a few weeks. The
