Terrell is getting more reputa-
ton abroad as a progressive and
enterprising county than many of
our people are aware of. In a

complain Of such manifestations in

that it will ever remain thus
quiet, orderly and peaceful.

Prof. Lowrey on last Friday even

the assurance of many more after
the present term expires.
No man may expect to build a
character that will be respected
and admired by those who know

payment of his honest debts. Il

tell his creditors so. = They will
have more respect for him and ex-
ercise more charity towards him.
Every farmer should set aside a
few acres of land, root up the
stumps and get ready to try the
intensive system of farming for
another year. Great revolutions
always take place slowly and grad

farming. But the change will
surely come, and, then, this coun-
try will blossom like the rose.
