LETTER FROM AUSTIN.
AUSTIN, Tx, April II.

DEAR SR-I have been intending to
write TO the Times-Star for some time as |
have many friends in Terrell who would
like TO hear from me. | received copy Of
Your valuable paper from my daughter,
Mrs S. V. Moore, and was very glad to hear
from dear old Terrell my home. l think it
would be a very good idea to advertise
Terrell much more than it has been adver-
tised.
Austin is on boom since the dam over
the Colorado river has been in course of
erection. They gave 4 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
I very nice place and good society. The
people i'll genera! are very sociable. 1t has
Z large mem bership in all the churches, and
all the pastors l have heard, are talented
men. qualified TO nil 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 Us they were
around Terrell. You have the best farming
country in 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 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. T. Y. WILLS.

The above straws show the way the wind
blows. Many are inquiring the way 10
prosperity. We say come 10 Terrell and
buy o small farm and work ii until you can
secure good foothold. The fortunes here
are to be worked out Of the ground.
