TERRELL, TEX, May 1--we are here
with large lot Of land for small farm men
to Sci! 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
congcnial cline. The following items are
clipped from our city paper:
The electric lights in Terrell are giving

LETTER FROM AUSTIN.
AUSTIN, TEX, April IL
o. B. ColQuitt-
DEAR SRI have been intending to
write to the Tines-Star for some time, as
have many friends in Terrell who would
like to hear from me. I 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. 1 think it
would be 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 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
q very nice place and good society. The
people in general are very sociable. 1t has
alarge membership in all the churches, and
all the pastors | have heard, are talented
men, qualified to fill their places with honor
and dignity.
observed as 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 in the state around Terrell Your
citizens are sperous, and you have fine
water there. You also have good schools
with competent teachers.
l see the Rev. 10 Jones will be in Terrell
soon. and trust he may be successful in
converting the people over to Christianity.
I would be pleased to have one more copy
of your paper next week.
am yours very respectfully,
Mrs. Z. V. WILLS
-fTimes-Star.
The above straws show the way the wind
blows. Many are inquiring the way to
prosperity. We say come to Terrell and
buy small farm and work it until you can
secure good foothold The fortunes here
are to be worked out of the ground. -.
