Vote Fer Progress.

vote Fer Progress.
On The tenth day Of December
the qualified voters Ct Terrell
county will be called upon to de,
eide an important issue.
It is the .Goption Or rejection OF
tie court house bill. The I'LL
contemplates the erection Of
modern court house-one that will
meet our pressing need. That
Terrell county is sadly in need Of
rev court house none can hardly
deny; that the time has come when
it should be built IS also clear.
The pending measure docs not
contemplate any extrar CANT use
of money; il viii impose no very
onerous burden on any citizen
1t is as liberal as any Of the laws
Under which other counties, some
Of them near ncighbors, have
erected court houses that do honor
and credit TO their citizens. 1t
presents, in fact, the question
whether Terrell county wants a
decent court house, or whether she
is willing to jog aIoI in the same
old>fashioned way.
1t presents a chance to choose
between the methods Of a prosper
Gus and progressive county and the
methods of county without
either prosperity or pride There
is nothing which would give Ter
rcIl couAty more character for
progress End enterprise, which
would do more to quicken the
spirit Of public enterprise among
her people, tAan t, commit herself
10 n permanent improvement Of
her public huildinos. On the
other hand a refusal to do so would
be a deliberate announcement that
Terrell county either does not de
sire to move forward in this essen
tial of a coauty's growth and pros.
perity, or that she is not able to
do so. We are confident that
there is no county more beloved
by its people than Terrell, an
none whose Improvement would
be more gratifying to its citizens.
There can be no doubt that the
county is amply able to erect q
good, lasting, modern court house.
She is more prosperous To-day than
she ever WAS before. The increase
in her population is steady and
rapid. The growth of her agricul-
tural resources has been remarka-
Bile and continues with increasing
vigor, In every district new,
handsome aud comfortable farm
houses are being constructed. In
everything she is moving forward
far more rapidly than in the IN
portant matter of public improve
menls. But we are connfent that
4he election on the tenth day o,
December will mark The beginning
of Il mere advanced public policy.
CitizaDsaHd taxpayers of Ter>
Teil, there should be no division on
this question. Lets all rise up as
one man and start the county on
the road to Improvement by an
over wileln!ipg vote and erect y
Temple of JCstice that will be q
Of praise and honor to
the memory Of this people! Such
a building would giTe us more
exalted opinion Of ourselves and
aid in developing The vast and
hidden wealth OF this grand county
of ours.
