TERRELL, TEX, May I've are here
with large lot of land for small farm men
to sell on easy terms. A community with
church, school and other advantages infe-
rior to none in Texas. The friends of Ter
rel say we do not praise Terrell enough,
that it will stand the test of more praise
than we are giving it. Our idea is to get
people here to look at the country and have
them come to their own conclusions. II
they are satisfied we want them as citizens
provided they are worthy. If they are too
sorry to make the country better we would
rather they would move on to some more
congenial cline. The following items are
clipped from our city paper:
The electric lights in Terrell are giving
entire satisfaction. Our citizens have al
ready gotten accustomed TO lighted streets,
and they say now that they DO not under
stand how the city got along without lights
SO long.
People are coming in here, good people,
settling among Us for life and for better or
worse, to make their homes here and bea
come members of the excellent societS91ey
find hereabout- ssSss
The city council grss1assaasshs asylum
board permission 70 saeD3es the road run
ming to that instia9a6h through Spring
street: An ss9 'fiation was made by the
last legls14Se to arrange the grounds SO
that th6zeah be used BY the patients as a
plaeabf recreation, and the management is
.sffcw moving in the matter. This will not
interfere with travel on Asylum avenue,
which has been beautified by 4 line OF trees
in the center, but will make the line u little
more circuitouS.
II Terrell continues to improve in the
future as it has in the past, q lively bright
evening journal viii be in order this fall
The project had already been mentioned to
US by live and monied merchants who prom
Use to lend their aid. We have the type and
machinery and when the time rolls around
we are ready TO tackle it. In the meantime
II there are any moSsbacks in Terrell they
had better get . ''moye on themselves or
else they will get run over. Our citizens
are all business these days. Register
Professor W. F. Cummings of the state
geological survey was in Terrell Thursday
and went out to the asylum to examine the
strata and coal in the asylum artesian well.
He will not make the result of his inveSti-
cations known for several days yet,
T. Khol, cashier of the Old national bank
of Centralia, H., who is also interested in
the coal mines OF that region, has written
a letter TO NJ. W. Raley of Terrell inquiring
about the coal found in the asylum well.
He says 1.-THE great depth is no hindrance
to successful mining except in the increase
OF cost IN sinking shaft Ten feet of
coal" he says, lis 4 splendid vein; we only
have six and six and half up here"
LETTER FROM AUSTIN.
AUSTIN, TEX, April II.
o. B. Colquitt.
DEAR Sri have been intending 10
write to the Times-Star for some time, as
have many friends in Terrell who would
Ike to hear from me. / received a copy of
YOUR valuable paper from my daughter,
Mrs S. V. Moore, anu was very glad to hear
from dear old Terrell, my home. think it
would be very good idea to advertise
Terrell much more than it has been adver-
tiSed.
Austin is on a boom since the dam over
the Colorado river has been in course of
erection. They gave a gentleman here the
means to travel and solicit immigration to
this place-Mr. Charles Edwards-and he
has done considerable good in causing citi-
zens from adjoining states, to come here,
and they are well pleased with Austin; it is
a very nice place and good society. The
people in general are very sOciable. 1t has
a large membership in all the churches, and
all the pastors l have heard, are talented
men, qualified to fill their places with honor
and dignity.
observed as I came here last fall that all
the crops between here and Dallas were
very inferior and not as good as they were
around Terrell. You have the best farming
country III the state around Terrell. Your
citizens are prosperous, and you have fine
water there. You also have good schools
with competent teachers.
see the Rev. 10 Jones will be in Terrell
soon, and l trust he may be successful in
converting the people over to Christianity.
would be pleased TO have one more copy
of your paper next week. |
l am yours very respectfully,
Mrs. L. Y. WILLS.
-TTimes-Star.
The above straws show the way the wind
blows. Many are inquiring the way to
proSperity We saw come 10 Terrell and
buy 4 small farm and work it until you can
secure good foothold. The fortunes here
are to be worked out of the ground.
