Farmers for the Past Ten Years.
In talking over the condition of the
farmers of Terrell county for the past
several years, THE NEWS was much
gfatified to discover that the tax returns
of twenty representative planters for the
past fifteen years showed steady and
very gratifying increase in their posses
sions. In some instances the increase
reaches nearly rs per cent.
Without minute examination of the

exact figures, but in the cases men toned
above it is certain that surprising gains
have been made This ia ct should en-
courage our people, and spur them with
renewed energy, for what one man, or
twenty men, can do others can do.
