THE RAPID GROWTH OF TERRELL COUNTY.
The Census Report of 81 Per Cent in Population
The Second Congressional District Makes Good Showing

Terrell county's and Dawson's
growth in the past ten years, as shown
by the census bulletin, is very crafty

sus department show that the county
mas Increased in population from IA, 503
to 1923, gain of 1920, while Daw-
sons increase is 652, the census in 1890
giving the town 1924 inhabitants and
this year 1886. This is gain of 81
per cent for the county and nearly 20
per cent for Dawson.
Terrell is the thirty-fourth county in
the state in point of population and
barely missed gaining another repre-
sentative in the legislature, the lowest
county in population which will have
two representative leading her only
by 229 people.
While Terrell county's growth has
been rapid it IS not to be wondered at.
Containing what are considered the
very best farming lands in the state,
having good system of schools and
enjoying very healthful climate its
increase in population is explained
and its growth in the future assured.
Dawson's development in the next
ten years cannot but be expected to far
outstrip that in the past period of this
time. The town depended for years on
agriculture for its maintenance. In
recent years, however, it awoke to
the fact that it needed manufacturing
enterprises, and began to supply the
